Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of 6640-022 Table Top Blender, Oster 6640, 10 spd White
Customer Review: An OK Blender for the Price
Summary: 3 Stars
This blender does crush ice and makes my smoothies with ease (the recipe's in my book, Feeding the Kids!). I have even ground coffee with the blender a few times. Its motor is holding up well after around 2 years of heavy usage and washings in the dishwasher.
The other review mentioned leaking. The blender only leaks when you put the rubber gasket on below the blade attachment. It's an easy mistake to make--and an easy mistake to correct. There is a note engraved on the blade attachment showing just where to put the gasket, but it's not very noticeable unless you look for it.
My main complaint is that the lid of the blender is very poorly made and warped in the dishwasher. Also, the middle part of the lid fell into the blender and was pureed into my soup while I was blending it. That's a major design flaw. The lid is the main reason I give this product 3 stars.
Update: It finally died after about 4 years of fairly heavy usage. The motor still works, but the stem that spins snapped off. I did have to replace the rubber gasket, blades, lid and glass jar (my fault, I dropped it) over the years--but still, an OK blender for the price.
Customer Review: Are critics trying to blend rocks and concrete?
Summary: 5 Stars
I really don't understand how so many people can ruin a blender. I've been using this model for about five years, and have made quite a few shakes, smoothies, and vegetable mixes without a single issue. It's great at crushing ice with the pulse setting. I hand wash it along with most of my other kitchen appliances (because I'm not lazy), so it's never warped either.
My guess is that those who give this product 1 or 2 stars either a) stepped out of their kitchen and came back to find their 8-year old kids putting rocks in the blender, b) dropped the thing multiple times, and thus they deserve 1 star for coordination, or c) are too cheap to buy a food processor for tasks meant to be carried out by... a food processor.

This blender lasted me nine years. Bought it to blend baby food and now my baby is 9 1/2 yrs old. Use it to blend soups, make ice fruit smoothies. It finally went out and I am getting exactly the same one again.Customer Review: Blends decently
Summary: 3 Stars
Sometimes it doesnt crush all of the ice, there might be a few chunks of ice but its no big deal.
