 Don't waste your money on this blender August 28, 2008
M. Samuelson (Minnesota)
I purchased this blender to replace my 8 year old blender that popped a hole while crushing ice. My primary purpose for using this is to crush ice and make blended coffees. My husband didn't want me to spend too much money so after looking at this model in the store, I purchased it. Upon first use, it leaked through the bottom. I found I didn't have the base tightened all the way--something that wasn't mentioned at all in the book that came with--and after tightening, it still seemed to leak. I thought that perhaps liquid had been trapped and hoped that tightening the base would fix the problem. Alas, the second time I used it, it leaked again. I mentioned it to my husband and asked him to tighten the base, which he obligingly did. The third time, I decided to just put water in it to see if it still leaks, which it does. The only positive is my husband witnessed this firsthand and has given me the go ahead to purchase a more expensive and hopefully higher quality, better built blender. Unless this undergoes a redesign to fix the leaking problem, I say stay away!

I've had this blender for two days and unfortunately have to take it back. The buttons are hard to press, and when you need to press them the whole machine slides across the counter top. They need some suction on the base of the machine. It is extremely loud, most plastic machines are.
Mine came with a food processor attachment. I used it to grate cheese and I thought the thing was going to go flying off the base of the machine, then the counter top. It lost power while grating. Instead of wearing full body armor while cooking I think it has to go back.
 not as sturdy as the old one July 10, 2005

I just purchased this (after returning a cuisinart after realizing that it had a plastic driver). My old Oster blender (plastic, 10-speed) lasted over 12 years (not under heavy use), so I bought another one. I like the base and it won't get discolored over time like my old white one did. The buttons are clearly labeled and feel solid. Each button has two speeds depeding on if the switch is set at low or high.
The jar is flimsier than my old one. It also has this annoying collar piece that is supposed to add stability if your jar is just sitting around on the table for a while - seems unnecessary to me. It makes it harder to take apart for cleaning and it is a very thin piece of plastic that I doubt will last well.
The blending power is good - my old blender was only 375 watt and this is 450 watt, and I can tell the difference. Overall I am confident about the performance and can live with the design.
