total blender classic wildside costcoI must admit I was a bit disappointed with a few (minor) things that cheapen it.
cuisinart duet blender bfp-603(I guess they had to cut costs somewhere to make it more affordable).

The "stainless steel" looking exterior is really brushed aluminum, and the lid, (which, on other blenders I have used over the years is made of heavy flexible rubber), is a very thin plastic. I also wish it had just a couple more speeds.
kitchenaid mixer 6qThe "pulse" speed is perfect for my use, but the switch must be held down to get a lower constant speed, otherwise all you get is one VERY high speed.
vitamix tnc 5200 rpmBut it is powerful, and as all the other reviews have stated, is pretty loud.
waring blender pricerunnerStill a pretty great blender. Yes () No (7) Report Yes () No (7) I went looking for a new blender when I accidentally broke the jar on my Cuisinart and the cost was prohibitive to replace. I did a lot of research and the all metal construction impressed me.

The blender lives up to and surpasses the description and what I expected of a blender, far superior to the Cuisinart. It is noisy but what blender isn't? It is used every day for a morning smoothie and blends frozen fruit very quickly and fully. Always had some lumps left over with the previous blender. So glad I made this purchase. Yes () No (0) Report Yes () No (0) I did a lot of research into blenders before I bought this one because I didn't want to spend $300 but I also didn't want to buy something that wouldn't work well. I particularly wanted to make fruit and vegetable smoothies as well as blend nuts for soups. It's certainly basic with its "off, on, pulse" options, but that's all I need. I can put frozen fruit in it, along with ice cubes, and it does the job. I like the sturdy feel of the glass rather than plastic, and the way it fits snugly onto the base with just a turn. It's also very easy to clean. Maybe someday I'll own a Kitchenaid or Vitamix, but for now, this one is great.

Yes () No (1) Report Yes () No (1) We use this blender for frozen drinks and smoothies. It chops ice superbly. Before we bought this blender, other blenders would only last a few times. I assume we were too rough on them. We bought this for a few dollars more than those other blenders and have been happy with it for four years now. We abuse it just as much as the others and it still works great. I think the all metal direct drive and powerful motor make a big difference. Yes () No (4) Report Yes () No (4) I bought this blender just under a month ago. I use it every morning for smoothies. It worked fantastic for a time. You know it's a bad sign when you pick it up and leave spare parts on the counter! Oster says they no longer make ths model. So, Oster sent me a replacement which was the $20 cheaper 16 speed chromed plastic blender. They are now sending me another replacement which is supposed to be the next step up in the "Beehive" series. It is nice that their Customer Service Dept is very nice to work with and accommodating.

Yes () No (3) Report Yes () No (3) I purchased this blender after my KitchenAid blender broke one morning while making smoothies. I was not expecting a lot at first, given the reasonable price, but was happily surprised. This blender is used daily in our home. We have made lots of smoothies and several batches of salsa in the short time we have had it. It is quite loud but blends perfectly. An added bonus is the cool retro design. Yes () No (4) Report Yes () No (4) Well constructed. Fast and a time saver. Foods are blended in less then 20 seconds. I had gone through $30 blenders every three or four months. None of these blenders match the workmanship and quality of materials of the Oster Beehive Blender. Yes () No (0) Report Yes () No (0) I had a Waring Pro and broke the glass, didn't want to pay ~35$ to replace it so I got this one. It's got more horsepower than my last blender, which you notice when you use frozen fruit in your smoothies. Yes (9) No (0) Report Yes (9) No (0) This blender has been a life saver for me.
