simple and elegant May 14, 2008
Scout
This blender is very simple, but perfect for everyday non-commercial use. It isn't fancy, but the design is elegant and has a retro feel to it. I did have a little problem the first time I used it because it started to leak. Then I realized that it wasn't screwed in all the way. Be careful of this the first time you use it. I kind of jumped right in without checking it out too much and the base is easily separated. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the assembly before using.
 My wife swears by it for baby food May 3, 2008

A definite upgrade over standard blenders, the beehive is sturdy, heavy, and solid. Handles anything we've thrown at it without fussing or smelling "hot" and "ozoney". We use it most often to grind up food for the baby, and we've gotten perfect infant-safe results with no chunks. The glass top is nice because it doesn't end up looking hazy like the plastic ones do.
Perfect for Bodybuilders/Fitness People April 29, 2008

I have owned this blender for 18 months. I am a competitive natural bodybuilder, and as such, I make anywhere between 4 and 8 shakes a day. I cannot attest to its use for blending solid foods or ice - the "hardest" thing I have blended in it are oats. I have used it almost exclusively for blending various powders in water/milk.
- The simple Pulse/ON switch is easy to use and requires zero brainpower - perfect for those 6:00am or middle-of-the-night shakes.
- The container is very thick and solid. I've never dropped it, but I've smacked it into plenty of stuff and it's as good as the day I bought it.
- After making anywhere between 2500 and 3500 shakes in the last 18 months, I have noticed NO decrease in power. (this blender is very loud, if that matters to you)
- The lid (which I abuse horribly) is in 95% of it's original condition (a very small crack in the lip).
Again - I'm sure blending ice/foods frequently will result in a different experience than I have had. However, for anyone who uses their blender for simple protein/carb shakes - I really doubt you can do any better than this for the price (possibly the Professional Series).

I've had my Oster beehive blender for about 3 years now. It mixes margaritas like no other and I make them almost every day, my time to come home start dinner & watch Ellen while sipping on my drink is the best. It just now finally gave out and it was not the motor! I never dried the metal between base and jar and it got rusted and of course now they don't sync with each other. I am using duct tape for now until my 2 new ones come in. I decided to pick up 2 just in case they get discontinued; that's how much I love my blender! My husband tried to convince me to buy the more expensive ones; why would I do that? This blender is the best out there hands down!! You won't regret this purchase just remember to dry the metal parts!
not just for blending beehives April 21, 2008

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.
