 Too heavy, too powerful! February 21, 2008

I think that Tim "the tool man" Taylor, designed this blender. There is a very high pulse speed and an even higher set speed (the only 2 speeds). This creates an air pocket around the bottom so, you have to pick up the blender and shake it every 10 seconds. This is the only way to get what you're blending to fall back to the bottom.
Also the lid broke in the first month when the center feel into my shake. The blades are strong! They broke the plastic lid in seconds.
The container part is a heavy thick glass which is good or bad depending on what you want.
It is also very loud! Wear ear plugs.
It does look nice sitting on the counter, but I would recomend something else if you plan on using your blender.
 Makes me feel like a pro January 26, 2008

I am by no means a professional chef, but this handy Oster blender makes it easy to cook like one. My box actually says 4242, but it looks exactly the same as this model. I received it from my great aunt (who has used her own Beehive for over 20 years) at my wedding shower and it is by far the nicest kitchen appliance we own. I used it for frozen adult beverages in the summer - it crushes ice with ease. I laugh at friends who bought more expensive drink mixing machines. I also like the removable stopper in the top so I can add ice or liquids without taking the entire top off, it is even large enough that I can even drop in half a roasted red pepper when making my favorite red pepper/olive paste for topping turkey burgers. I love experimenting with sauces and dressings, the sky is the limit with this awesome machine.
Good blender, but it's LOUD December 30, 2007
J. Millan (Southern California)
This blender is a good powerful blender that makes great smoothies in seconds. However, I did have to deduct one star because of the noise level. It so loud that it makes my 2 and 4 yr old son and daughter nervous when I run it. Thankfully I only have to run it for a few seconds because it blends so quickly.

What a disappointment. I read a lot of good reviews about this blender, good enough that I was willing to overlook the one flaw mentioned, its very high noise level. That was not an exaggeration, but what really disappointed me was the cheap material used to make the blender, namely plastic instead of metal.
Great smoothie blender! September 13, 2007

We make smoothies every morning and this blender easily chomps through ice and frozen fruit to make a perfectly textured smoothie. Also works well for soups and pesto. Very powerful and very cool looking. We lost the filler cap in a soup misadventure and I've found that replacement parts are very easy to find and not too expensive.
