effective but LOUD August 2, 2007

This is a great-looking, great-operating, sturdy, no-fuss blender. I'm satisfied with its performance and durability, and I love its great looks. The only drawback, as others have mentioned, is it is LOUD. I definitely think it could cause permanent hearing loss. It is no exaggeration that I wear hearing protection when I use it, so keep that in mind if you're considering it. (You can get cheap, effective earplugs at a drug store.)
 Loud Enough To Cause Permanent Hearing Loss July 2, 2007

- yes this blender is effective
- yes it is sturdy
- but it is loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss
- do you keep earmuffs or earplugs in your kitchen?
- the cause of the noise IS the metal drive mechanism and the electric
motor
- it would be easy to add some sound insulation to the housing, and
in my opinion as an M.D. this shouldn't be sold without it
 Absolutely the best blender I've ever owned May 13, 2007
C.T. (Harrisburg, PA United States)
I've had this blender for a little under a year now. I'm on a diet plan that requires me to make three milkshakes a day. I've been making my three shakes a day for almost 2 MONTHS and my little blender works like a champ. The blade knob that sits on the base (to which you attach the jar)is metal, not plastic like many other cheaper blenders I've owned. The black base of the jar is easy to unscrew and pull out from the jar for easy cleaning. The lid is nice and tight, but not so much that you break fingernails trying to pry it off the jar. And best of all... this GRATES ICE like you wouldn't believe! I'm absolutely thrilled with this blender. Yes, it is loud. I've used a Cuisineart in the past, which was much quieter than my Oster, but I have to say it didn't chop the ice as well, leaving my shakes with a grittier consistancy. My shakes come out smooth -I'm talking Ice Cream Shop quality. I highly recommend this blender to ANYONE. I just pray that Oster still makes it when mine is kaput.
YES! February 15, 2007

This is the best blender I have ever owned. It will crush ice like magic. Yes, I understand what all loud talk is about, but it is only on for a short time and it is not that bad. It didn't sound like a jet to me.
If you want a very good blender then this is it.
Loud but by far the best I have had January 16, 2007

I waited several months before writing a review on my Oster Beehive. I wanted to be sure it would hold out. It has. I am hard on blenders. I make a smoothie almost every day--complete with frozen fruit, peanut butter, and lots of ice cubes. I've had other blenders that have died in a few short month, one conked out in a couple weeks. This one is holding out. Yes, it's noisy (my husband still complains). There's nothing special about it other than it is easier for me to get the components apart than other blenders I have had, it has a metal gear rather than plastic to run the blade. It stirs up everything so I don't have to stop it and push stuff down with a spatula. I recommend it. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the noise.
