Oster Classic Series 16-Speed Blender with 5-Cup Glass Jar Countertop Kitchen Blender Brushed Nickel

OMG this is so amazing! I love it, I've had it since 2022 and I still have it. It's great quality, one of the best, you won't regret buying it, I recommend it 100%! 💪🏻 Read more

I dropped the pitcher of my original Osterizer and it cracked...not a big loss since it was a wedding shower gift in 1968. Seriously, it had been through a lot! This one has a glass pitcher and is a little easier to take apart and clean. My only complaint is that it's much heavier. It's not a deal breaker, but when pouring crepe batter with one hand and swirling my pan with the other, it I notice the weight. I like that it has twice the settings of my original so I can really adjust the speed, it's quieter and it comes apart better to make it very easy to clean. I'm sure I'll use it just as much as my old one so it should out last me! Read more

I bought this for my dad back in August of 2022. He's used it a maximum of once a day until sometime in April 2023 when the switches/buttons started not working or working intermittently. I contacted Oster (Newell Brands) online with pertinent information, was contacted right away by a representative, asked to fill out a little more information about the blender in question. Anyway, it only took about a week and a half from contacting them to receiving a new blender. They didn't require me to ship the defective blender back either. Very helpful and positive experience. I have another more basic Oster blender I've had for at least a decade that is still working well but someone has to get a defective one once in a while. Read more

I know - it's a blender. But, it's such a good blender!! I had a Kitchenaid blender for the last 5 years and the ridiculous hard rubber "teeth" that held the blender onto its base broke off one by one from the first 6 months. When I made shakes in that blender, there were ALWAYS large ice chunks left behind and I just assumed that all blenders did this. That was, until, I met my new Oster 6812-001 Core 16-Speed Blender. This blender KILLS ice in less than 5 seconds. Seriously! There isn't a trace of a cube or chunk anywhere! I was going to wait to right a review until I had the blender longer, but I couldn't wait. If you are like me and did a lot of research on which blender to buy - look no further. This blender was $80 and Amazon.com sold it to me for $40!! Even if it only lasts a year, this blender was worth it! It also looks really sleek on my counter top with it's "chrome" finish. The thing that really sold me on this blender though was it's all metal drive. There are no silly plastic "teeth" that can break off. Sorry Kitchenaid, you lost a customer for life! I will always buy Oster blenders from now on. Read more

I purchased this blender just for making salsas and Mexican sauces. I love it! It’s the right size and grinds cooked or raw peppers, garlic, and roughly cut onions with great ease. So far I have blended both cooked and raw jalapeños, Serrano peppers, roughly cut onions, and garlic cloves; salsas came out perfectly blended. I filled the carafe with the several jalapeños and Serrano peppers, two garlic cloves, and half a bunch of fresh cilantro to make a salsa and I ended up with a 16 ounces of salsa; Perfect for small quantities and my 16 ounce mason jars. Today, I blended 10 boiled Chili Ancho peppers and 6 boiled Guajillo peppers with 2 cups of hot tap water for Chili Colorado with no problem. It filled up to 4 to 5 cups. Its 5 cup carafe makes clean up very easy and the thick glass is strong. The blade is very sharp. Be careful. This blender is small but the motor is powerful. Mexican cooking made much easier.

I primarily used this for frozen fruit-based smoothies. It didn't work for my needs, and it was just a very low-quality product. I ended up returning it and getting a BlendTec blender. * A few times, when I put the blender down on the base, it started blending automatically (SCARY!) * The lid didn't fit on the container properly, there were gaps on all edges, as if the lid was just a tad too small. * A rust spot had formed on the top of the blade by the 10th use. * The container leaked from under the blade from the first use. * The command buttons were occasionally unresponsive. * This thing is LOUD for how underpowered it is. My 3-horse power BlendTec is quieter. * It gave off an odor from the motor or something. Unpleasant. As for its actual blending capabilities: equally unimpressive. Had to baby the blender constantly. Pulse for 10 seconds, scrape down the sides, pulse, scrape, add more liquid, pulse, scrape, pulse, drink. Frozen fruit smoothies would take about 5-6 minutes to make, having to constantly help the blender do its job. That said, at the end it did achieve a pretty good consistency. On my old Kitchen Aid blender, I always had strawberry seeds at the bottom of my smoothies. This blender seemed to shred them up, so that's one plus (I had to baby my Kitchenaid much less, however). If you're planning on making smoothies often, just bite the bullet and get a BlendTec or VitaMix blender. They're both high-powered, quality machines that are made in the USA (BlendTec: Utah, VitaMix: Ohio). You'll never need to buy another blender in your life. Read more
