 Terrific blender September 20, 2008
Alise M. Troester (Arlington,VA)

After reading other great reviews about this blender, I would whole-heartedly recommend this blender as well. It blends a terrific smoothie in no time and it mixed up delicious margaritas as well. Excellent quality --one of the best blenders I've owned!
Great blender! September 9, 2008

I love this blender--it makes our frozen margaritas and frozen coffee drinks in a flash! And the noise, well the person who said she needed earplugs while using it must be over-sensitive. Yeah, it makes noise, as you would expect a blender chopping up ice would, but it's nothing to make you jump through the ceiling. Try my favorite iced coffee drink: toss into blender in order: 2 cups of ice (I use the crushed ice from my freezer), enough skim milk to cover ice plus another 1/2 inch, about 1/4 cup non-fat half 'n half, 3 heaping teaspoons of instant coffee (regular or decaf), and about an ounce of sugar-free chocolate (or other) flavored coffee syrup (adjust amount to your tastes). Blend until smooth (use the pulse and allow air to surface every few seconds, as needed). This serves 2-3 people. A perfect drink for hot summer weather, and you can't tell that it contains instant coffee, non-fat dairy, and sugar-free syrup!
To clean up, just rinse out contents, add a drop of dish detergent and a couple cups water, blend, then rinse again. Voila!
 Fine Blender September 6, 2008
Ken (Maryland)
Works well. Crushes ice and makes drinks pretty well. It's better to push the toggle switch down which causes it to run at a lower speed. The liquid keeps moving and the ice crushes just fine. With the switch pushed up and the blender on, the blade spins at higher speeds which sometimes causes a thick drink to have an airpocket to form above the blade so nothing moves. Not the end of the world but causes one to either stir the slurry or jiggle the blender.
 Dead after 6 weeks! September 5, 2008

This blender was great ... while it lasted, which turned out to be just 6 weeks! I don't expect to pay almost $80 for the privilege of using an appliance for 6 weeks. On top of that, I wrote Amazon's customer service to inquire about a refund or replacement and did not get a response to either of two emails I sent over a week's period. I finally decided to call and the person offered me a refund or exchange. I was originally wanting an exchange, but after coming back to this page and reading other reviews, hearing a couple that said even their replacement broke within weeks, well I figure I'm better off going to a local store to get a blender. It might still break, but at least I can walk back in with it to return it instaed of going through all this. The automatic refund processing center for Amazon doesn't work after 30 days and the blender wound up with a loose screw rattling around in it's base just 2 weeks past that deadline. This for a blender that was set on one counter out of the box and never moved more than an inch in either direction.
It seems the vibration of the motor itself is enough to shake it's internal screws loose, and since the loose screw is within the sealed portion of the base you can't possibly get to it to remove it. Defective product and I strongly suggest anyone think twice before purchasing it. Or just hope you're one of the lucky ones who gets a good one.
Seems stable enough. September 2, 2008

Everything from the motor up is a pretty standard oster blender. The motor however seems to have a bit of kick. The only downside is that it doesn't have a slower speed so sometimes things don't blend well without being packed down multiple times.
