Customer Reviews of Oster Contemporary Classic Beehive Blenders
Customer Rating: Rating: 5/5Rating: 5/5Rating: 5/5Rating: 5/5Rating: 5/5
Summary: Perfect Blender
Comment: Tried it out as soon as UPS delivered it and was amazed what it did to the cubed ice I put in it. It blendes like magic! Do not pass this one. Not as loud as people say either.

Summary: Powerful, easy to use, but LOUD
Comment: I have now had this blender for a few years and love the simple design...I don't like the newer style of blender that has the big bottom jar going over the base instead of into it, even though that design probably provides more stability.

Two things that make this blender less than perfect that I would like to change are:
(1) the switch only holds its place on the high setting (up position) and the ear shattering noise on this higher speed is intolerable to me, I have to cover my ears, so I never use it. I wish the down position, which is the lower speed, also could lock in place so that I could have both hands free.
(2) A redesign to reduce the noise level of this machine!

Awhile back the bottom of the original glass jar broke where the blade screws on so I ordered a stainless steel replacement and it has been great. I tend to use this blender for smaller jobs. I have a larger KitchenAid to handle heavier work.

Summary: This thing can really blend!
Comment: This only has two settings but why would you need more? I only use the low setting and have had no problems whatsoever blending my frozen fruit or ice into a perfect smoothie.

I have had this for almost a year and have not had any issues. It looks and feels like a professional quality blender. Highly recommended!

Summary: Very, Very Good...but not perfect
Comment: Bought to make morning smoothies. Chops quickly, easy to clean, elegantly simple & attractive, the blender seems to be of very good quality.

Negative points are the LOUDNESS of this thing. Sounds like a rock-crusher in action. Also has some issues with blending too much fruit and ice at once. Be reasonable in adding things to blend, and you'll be fine.

Overall, a very good product.

Summary: Buyer beware. This has design problems.
Comment: I have tried several blenders primarily for smoothies. This blender is powerful at 500 watts and it will literally move on the counter due to the vibration while blending. It is fairly loud but it is a blender. It makes great smoothies as long as fruit is cut in pieces and enough milk or soymilk is used for a smooth consistancy. However, this blender uses a fuse that I assume protects the motor. The fuse cannot be replaced by the consumer. I cut out the fuse after it burned out and connected the wires to the motor. The blender worked great for a while until the motor coupling broke. Oster promotes this blender as all metal drive. A motor coupling connects the motor shaft to the blades. This coupling is a thin threaded metal rod enclosed in rubber. Mine broke and now I need to replace it. I won't buy another Oster again.

Choosing Appliance -> Taps
If you want a sink with large bowl dimensions to cope with big-pan washing-up, it is worth considering a tap with a pull-out or pull-down spray rinse. This gives you water anywhere you need it around the bowl area.
Choosing Appliance -> Spoons
Buy stainless spoons (both slotted and non-slotted) which are solid and won't bend no matter how tough the job. Also, buy several high quality wooden spoons for stirring delicate dishes like risotto (the sharp edge of a metal spoon would cut or bruise the rice).

Useful info -> Dishwashers
Don't put up with intrusive machine noise in the kitchen. Most dishwashers are now whisper quiet, 45-49dB being typical. You should still be able to watch the television or hold a conversation whilst the machine is operating.
