[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blender is fantastic!!! It works wonderfully! I have no problem blending anything from frozen fruit to chunky ice. It is very user-friendly and easy to use. It is super easy to clean and dishwasher safe!!! I absolutely love this blender!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I opened the box to get it all out and washed, but I was really shocked at how much dust and cardboard particles were all over the whole thing. After cleaning and assembly it still didn't wow me. It had to have too much liquid to frozen fruit I had to constantly take the lid off to mix it. When it was mostly blended then it still left the blueberry skins fairly large. If you use this for liquids this could work for you. But if you like thicker smoothies you need a stronger blender.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this blender for a few months and haven't had any issues with it. It is nice to make my smoothies with and I like that I can add ice without still having bigger chunks in my drinks. It holds a decent amount but isn't a huge blender.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great choice for an entry level blender for the casual cook who wants to make a smoothie or whip up salad dressings. It does what you need it to do at a great price point. Oster gives a great tip for successful blending: add the liquid first, then the solids. Frozen items need to float which means you have enough liquid. If you don’t have sufficient liquid, it will not blend. Do not use any utensil to push down the ingredients because you will probably accidentally touch the blade and then have pieces of whatever utensil you used in your smoothie, I have personal experience with bamboo flavored smoothie from using a chopstick!
One cool trick is to use a mason jar like how you would use a Magic Bullet for salad dressings or smoothies to go because it fits perfectly in the thread of the cap. Also, it’s one less dish to clean, you can store the leftover dressing in the same jar.
The motor is powerful enough to make your smoothie smooth and blend ice cubes, but I wouldn’t use it to make a nut butter out of almonds or peanuts because you need a food processor or a high powered blender for that job.
Easy to clean, can put all the parts in your dishwasher.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this is a glass blender. I find that with the plastic ones they stain and hold onto odors so they are much harder to clean. I try to avoid plastic as much as possible so I loved this and will recommend over the plastic ones any day!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a basic looking blender but it does the job needed. It holds 6 cups, which is 48 oz. and is good for everyday use. The 5-speed functionality makes it easy to make smoothies and frozen drinks. It has many different settings for different needs. It has options for stir, mix, chop, blend, puree, liquify, and pulse. It has removable blades which makes cleaning easy. So far I have had no issues with making smoothies, salsa and shakes.
Overall it does almost all the food prep required.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to try this new blender. It has a smooth and sleek design and goes with most of my appliances. I made smoothies for the first time in this and it worked great! It detaches easy for an easier clean up. I hand wash mine with mild soap and water. Let it dry and set it back up for the next use. I definitely recommend !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice compact blender. The base is pretty basic and has all the standard functions for blending and ranges from stir to liquify. The button placement is a little odd. Instead of have to push the buttons, I would have preferred the buttons being closer to the top of the base so you can push the button from above instead of push into the base which might push at the base. The blender jar is good quality glass and is very sturdy and thick. It has markings for measurements on the side and ha aplenty of capacity for basic kitchen needs. The blade unscrews from the jug and can be washed in the dishwasher which is convenient. The blade could be a little more polished but it functions fine. Overall a good blender for your everyday needs.
