Product DescriptionGive your kitchen a modern appliance with retro styling. Enjoy healthy fruit smoothies in the a. m. and less innocent beverages in the p. m. The continuous speed and pulse along with a stainless steel cutting blade will have your ingredients chopped, blended, and purEed in next to no time. Amazon. comPowered by a 500-watt motor, this classic blender blends margaritas and smoothies, mixes soups and sauces, chops fruits and vegetables, grinds coffee beans and nuts, grates cheese and coconut, and crushes ice. The blender has a high speed and a low-speed pulse control, which can be held down for continuous action. Its 40-ounce, ribbed-and-tapered glass container fits onto Oster’s distinctive beehive-shaped base, which is clad in lustrous chrome and outfitted with slip-proof rubber feet. Its stainless-steel blade-assembly removes for cleaning, and the container is calibrated in both ounces and liters. Fully assembled, the blender stands 16 inches high on a 7-1/4-inch-diameter base. With the exception of the dishwasher-safe glass container, all parts–including the plastic lid with its plastic 2-ounce measuring insert–require hand washing. The blender carries a one-year warranty against defects, and its instruction booklet includes dozens of recipes. –Fred Brack

Not only does this sick little mama blend beehives really well, she is also fair game for wasp’s nests, and probably other insect nests. I find that blended beehive has an ambrosial pleasantness, and serves as a sort of poor man’s botox if ingested (or injected) regularly. Add a bit of milk, and you get a really creamy blend that drinks smoothly. The wasp’s nest is a bit more tart, but can be tamed with appropriate spicing. The Christmas season inspired me to experiment upon the latter nest with some eggnog, and its flavouring blended serendipitously well.
Thanks Oster.

Bought this blender in March 2004 – by August it was dead! Granted I use it every day to make virgin pina coladas, but a relatively expensive Oster blender should last longer than 4 months!!

A good blender for a variety of different blending options. While most other blenders only have one option ( blend) this blender has many different buttons to choose from. The transparent holder is a vast improvement over their model with black electrical tape wrapped around the interior. For one you could not see what you were blending, secondly little bits of the tape would end up in everything you made, and thirdly you always had to get more tape, like every two weeks. in this model the tape is optional and goes on the outside if you prefer not to see what you are blending. As well, the tape is only 1 inch in width, unlike the 10 inch width tape, what a nightmare. kudos to oster for fixing all of the flaws of the previous model.

I just bought the Hamilton Beach 52277 Classic Chrome 12-Speed Blender, Silver (for under six bills with shipping) to replace an aging but still working Osteriser (that had lasted two decades). With 800 watts, my new one is far more powerful. I also like the glass jar (as my Oster had) for being able to blend hot soups. The heavier Hamilton lid is very flexible but somehow survives the dishwasher without any softening (unlike the Oster). Moreover, the gear teeth the jar sits on are straight (rather than angled – what was starting to regularly slip on my old Oster) for a better fit. Even though I rarely use more than fast, slow, and pulse (the Hamilton blender has ten speeds and pulse), I’m glad I picked this one over the Oster 4093 Classic Beehive Blender, Chrome with its noisier but weaker 500 watts, the need to handwash a loose fitting lid, and just two speeds (on and pulse). Finally, I have also seen greater splashing as others have commented elsewhere from the new “Wave-Action” blade (common to both blenders) when dealing with very thick additives (but, the tighter lid of the Hamilton should mean it’s less likely to spill than the Oster). I’m posting this review here as a comparison for those considering this chrome Oster blender.
