impressed. i had an oster years ago.
we needed a new blender. when i grew up, in the 1980s, my family had an OSTER. and it was a workhorse (i think my parents STILL have it. anyhow, i figured I'd give oster a shot. i'm impressed. very smooth and does a nice job blending. (especially for the price) the cool thing is that it has 1) a small attachment container for smoothies (i use this) 2) a large attachment container for blending larger things like soups, etc (my wife uses this) washing after using, take it all apart and put soap and water in, run the blender, then rinse. (yea, if you've using sticky stuff, you'll need to brush to clean it off) large rubber o-ring seal the one area i can see some people having trouble is placing the grey rubber o-ring into the base and then removing it after in order to clean everything. but i like it. it allows me to really get ALL parts clean and this way i know there's no bacteria growing at the bottom of the container. it took me a few times, but you run your finger around the large rubber o-ring into the base and seal it in. yes, you need to avoid the sharp blades of course, but after a few times, it's easy. i have never cut myself. noise i've personally been looking for a quiet blender, but i think i've discovered no blenders are truly quiet (unless the have a massive cover like the ones at jamba juice). it's not quiet, but it's not crazy loud like the one we had. stainless steel i think the description says stainless steel. maybe the actual blade is, but the unit appears to be a metal-looking plastic. but it's fine and stable.
