OSTER 6640-022 NP1 10-Speed Blender with Plastic Jar

The media could not be loaded. Sorry for the quality of the video, Amazon doesn't allow higher res videos but hopefully this will help you see what you are getting. Just to summarize this is a great blender especially for the price I was choosing between this and Hamilton Beach 51101B Personal Blender with Travel Lid, Black and I am extremely satisfied that I purchased the Osterizer because it has a higher capacity, way more blending options, and a built in fan to cool it. In the video the blender locks up for a second because I started with just straight ice and a little too much of it haha but once liquid and other ingredients were added all was well. Only cons are that it is plastic and that it doesn't lock although it is pretty secure. Also As stated in the video I have run this blender on high for 7 minutes straight with no burning smell or problems the fan works great. The smoothie I made was the same consistency all the way through and very smooth. I would recommend this blender as an entry level device for anyone! Read more

I just bought one of these to replace.. well, one of these. I have used many "budget" blenders like this one in the past and I finally decided that this is my favorite one in this general price range. My old one's motor actually worked just fine, it is just that I ended up cracking the plastic jar. Ordering a replacement jar was only about $2 cheaper than just buying the entire new setup, so I went ahead and replaced the whole thing. I only use mine for smoothie-type drinks, but I usually have 3 each day. Each one has 20 to 25 whole ice cubes and this blender has no problem grinding them up and blending my smoothies. I would say that my old one went through 500 shakes or so before the jar started cracking and the motor was still good to go. You can get a lot of use out of one of these things making it a solid $20 investment. There are 10 speeds (5 buttons each with high and low functions) and a pulse button that makes it easy to chop up little residual bits that evade the high speed blades. I feel like I really put this thing through a beating and it takes it without much effort. One thing worth noting is that it won't entirely "smooth" some ingredients, kale in particular. Small bits are left of some vegetables. Then again, this is a blender and not a juicer. If you are looking for an inexpensive blender that can handle icey drinks and smoothies without burning out on you, I would highly recommend trying this one out. Like I said, I got several hundred uses out of my old one and it would still be working for me now had I not needed to replace the plastic jar. Whenever this one runs its course I will probably end up buying yet another. Read more

I only use this blender for smoothies - and normally with lots of juice and little ice. It blends wonderfully, though it can take it a second to "get going". One time the jar came a little lose and began to leak my smoothie everywhere, I thought it was broken, but I saw it just screwed on tighter and the problem was solved. (This might happen after a particularly rough spot of blending...) Cleans really easy. GREAT value for the money - works as well as any expensive blender. Read more

My girlfriend recommended this blender to me as we were talking about making smoothies and she had purchased the Ninja blender, spent a couple hundred dollars and was not impressed but then bought this Oster blender and swore it worked better than the Ninja so I gave it a chance and bought one. I haven't had much luck in the past with blenders, either they do not blend completely, the motor goes out on me after a few months or the blades are not sharp enough. I have had this blender for almost 2 years now and I have zero complaints! Not only does it completely blend frozen fruits and ice, it is works extremely quickly. I don't have to constantly switch back and forth to liquify, puree, crush to get the consistency I want, I select one option and voila it works! If you are like me and constantly had issues with good quality blenders, this is the one for you! Read more

i am really disappointed with this blender. I was so surprised with some previous reviews above because I was almost get killed by this fake machine. I am 100 percent sure that the item I received was not as good as it was supposed to be. I didn't put really high expectation on this blender considering this very acceptable price. However, no matter from the quality of the paper of the blender 's instruction, or the blender, it's obviously a fake product. When I first time used it, I even could not pressed the button and then, I could smell something burning in the machine. Then my husband came into kitchen, he ran to me and cut the power off. He said that he could smell electric wire burning. And he told me that this machine did make huge noise and what's more, the blender was consist of several parts . But another big problem is that the up part could not fit in the bottom part. I mean the cap could not fit in the bottom part. In other words, when you work the blender, the cap could blew away if you didn't hold it tightly. Yes, it's not a joke. I am serious. So I made a decision: cut the blender's wire in case i want to try next time and then throw into rubbish bin. Good move!!! Read more
