Product Details
Product DescriptionPowered 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 BrackProduct Features* Powerful 500 watt motor blends, chops, grinds, grates, and crushes ice* 2 speeds plus low-speed pulse function for just the right amount of control * 40-ounce, ribbed-and-tapered glass container * Classic beehive-shaped base clad in chrome; rubber feet equals stability * Measures 16 by 7-1/4 inches; 1-year warranty Accessories
Customer ReviewsRated Received in great shape. Meets all expectations and have had no issue with this product. Great value for the price. Rated I bought this blender a little over a month ago, and I really like it. I had to replace my 10yr old Hamilton Beach because I broke the glass jar and could no longer find the replacemet. I looked at very expensive Cuisinarts to KitchenAids, and this one, overall, had the best reviews. I really liked the look and also the price. There seemed to be no advantage to it's more expensive counterparts and I'm glad I got it! I use it everyday to make protein shakes for my family of 5 and I've had no problems. The only draw backs would be that it is very loud, which I did read about in other reviews, and there is no cord storage. As with any blender you must use commen sense and add enough liquid or the blender motor will burn up. It's only been 6 weeks, but I have had no problems and would recommend it. Rated The rubber/plastic base of the drive broke in two. This blender does not truly have an all metal drive system. Rated I bought my Oster Classic Beehive blender in 1985. After 25 years of great service, she's still truckin'! So, why now am I writing a review? While ordering a replacement glass blender jar through Amazon, I was pleased (but not surprised) to read all the (mostly) positive reviews about the Classic. The complaints about how loud it is are accurate. But that's because it has a 500 watt motor, which is precisely why I bought this blender over two decades ago and why it's been so durable. I've never had a situation where the Classic has not been up to whatever blending task I've had to perform. There may be as good or even better blenders available today, but as for me: if it ain't broke, don't replace it! Rated Good for smoothies, terrible for soup Even with the lid tightly closed and my hand holding it down, the soup ran all over the counter Could be improved with a low setting. If the smoothie is too thick, the blender will dance around in a circle twisting the cord around it. Must be used with hand holding down the lid. Does make good smoothies. Similar Products
