Customer Reviews

100 smoothies and still going!
When I set out to find a blender after reading reviews I was totally confused. I felt as if I needed to lay down 500 bucks just to make a smoothie. I took the risk on losing 70 bucks and went with this one because of the metal drive and the extra power. So far I have had nothing but very pleasing experiences with this blender in making my daily smoothie. I usually throw in big ice cubes and frozen fruit some juice and protein and hit the smoothie preset button and 30 seconds later I have a perfectly blended smoothie. I haven't tried anything else on this blender, but I thought I come back to write a review after using this 100 times. So yeah this gets five stars from me because the price was right and its has done its job and looked good on my counter. What else could I ask for.

Great blender
I didn't know my old blender was so lame until I got this one. We make protein smoothies every day, and this blends all the ingredients and crushes the ice on 1/4 of the time of my old blender.

Worked just ok, and reliability issues - died after six months
I used this to blend smoothies about 4-5 times per week. I bought it thinking the automatic smoothie feature was going to make it easier to blend -- it didn't. The smoothie "program" runs on low speed forward, then reverse, then faster forward, then reverse, then high speed for a while. It frequently created an airspace beneath the smoothie ingredients so it could blend at high speed like crazy without really mixing anything. That meant I always had to monitor it to see if I needed to stop it and push the ingredients down, so it didn't really make it any easier.

After six months, it stopped working. It wouldn't come on. It felt like it was the keypad that stopped working because the ON key didn't "click" right when I pushed it, like the other keys did. The keypad is a smooth membrane and food can't get into it, so that wasn't the problem.

I tossed it out. It was probably under warranty but I didn't have a desire to pay for shipping it to Oster for repair. I replaced it with this: Villaware Pro Infinity Blender V001-43100. Have only used it a few weeks but I like it MUCH better.
