good, but loud April 24, 2008

I bought this Oster after reading the reviews here and in Consumer Reports. No blender seemed to be a clear winner on all counts. Nonetheless, I like everything about this one, except the noise.
Rather than repeating what others have said, I'll simply add how I deal with the excessive noise this blender makes. I put something sound-dampening between the bottom of the blender and the countertop. A folded tea towel, a square cut from a rubber mat etc. What I use is not so high that it even touches the bottom of the blender. Still, I was concerned that this might make the blender overheat, and so I watched closely. But there has been no problem whatsoever. The key is to have something between the blender and the hard, sound-reflective surface of the countertop. It makes a significant difference in decibels.
 a real man's blender March 22, 2008

The Classic Beehive exudes nostalgia of a time when a kitchen was where ladies made dinner in high heels. Welcome to the 21st century. We survived feminism and metro-sexuality, and are now dawning an age of gender-neutrality in the kitchen. To help men transition to this new era, Oster has designed a blender with the power and noise of a 64.7cc leafblower. Yeah, maybe your makin' smoothies for the guys, but unless your wearing an embroidered apron, there won't be any questions.
Super Fast January 14, 2008

My wife and I both love the beehive. It works super fast and is powerful. Yes, a tad loud....but seriously it gets the job done so fast that is why it is making that noise. :)
 Why Put a Junk Lid on a Quality Blender? October 28, 2007

This is a simple, two-speed blender that seems solid and does the job for most uses. The lid assembly, however, is a piece of cheap junk that absolutely does NOT live up to the Oster name. I can't tell you whether this is due to their using a cheaper plastic material or because the lid is so much thinner than those of previous Oster blenders I have owned, but please believe me when I say the lid is flimsy. You have to keep your hand on the lid, especially when starting the blender, to prevent it from blowing right off and creating a mess. Furthermore, the flimsy plastic softens a LOT when you are working with hot foods.
I was pureeing warm tomatoes and soon discovered that the little clear plastic cap in the lid's center would no longer lock into place. Wanting to finish the job, I continued. Moments later, the clear plastic cap slipped through the softened lid and dropped into the blender, where it was quite efficiently chopped and blended into my tomatoes.
Why did Oster have to cut corners like this on what is otherwise a nice product? For shame! Incidentally, a replacement center cap cost me $2.50 at an authorized repair center. Grrr!
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.)
