Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 4093 Classic Beehive Blender, Silver
Customer Review: Absolutely the BEST Blender
Summary: 5 Stars
I adore this blender. It cuts through ice like a dream, slices FROZEN fruit in moments and sends me to smoothie heaven every single morning. I've had my blender for well over a year and have yet to encounter any problems. I was originally going to purchase a Vitamix but my husband 'fell-in-lust' with the retro-styling of this blender and I decided to give it a try.
The lid? Fits perfectly and doesn't leak even when I make a filled-to-the-brim smoothie with ice and frozen fruit.
The blades? SHARP little suckers, watch your fingers when rinsing! I found a great deal on a replacement ice-chopper, so I purchased, but still haven't had to change.
I rinse it after every use and have had NO problems what-so-ever with rust. (?)
I've recently purchased the:
Blend and Go cup - Adore it!
Food Processor attachment - Adore it!
If you're looking for a quiet / meek blender, this isn't the one for you. This is an over-the-top dream blender with two functions. Pulse and On. It sounds like it has a jet engine in it and every time I hear it, my mouth waters!
Customer Review: Adequate
Summary: 3 Stars
I've used this blender to make milk shakes and salad dressings and it has done both just fine. Unfortunately, with just two settings it lacks the versatility to perform more nuanced operations. In addition, it is quite loud (perhaps because it operates at such a high speed), and it is very heavy. I'll get plenty of use out of the blender, so, for the reasonable amount of money I spent, I am satisfied with my purchase.Customer Review: Amazon sells the necessary replacement part!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Amazon, and I love this blender from oster....it's classic looking and works well....I've been overloading it with frozen strawberries and ice for two years w/out a hiccup...but yesterday, the part sheared off that holds the glass container!
No problem-o....Amazon sells the part for 4 bucks and all you have to do is unscrew the bottom, take the motor out and replace the part! You essentially and hopefully have a new blender.
I'll let you know how it works out for me....a grannie....but considering what others have said, it's an easy thing to do and works!
Customer Review: An Outstanding Blender for the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
I had an Oster previously which after much use and many years finally gave out. I thought very highly of it and therefore purchased another one. It is somewhat loud but it does do the job--it's great in chopping ice for drinks. For the money, you cannot beat it!Customer Review: An unfortunate waste of money
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought a $70 blender would not only blend better than cheaper models, but certainly last longer. I've had this for 6 months, and the end cap that attaches to the bottom with the blade has cracked TWICE in exactly the same place, leaving me a bunch of slop to clean up all over my kitchen. I only use the blender 2 or 3/wk for smoothies WITHOUT ICE, so it's not as though I've put it through a heavy workload. Very unfortunate, because it does blend well. Now I will NEVER buy another Oster blender, nor will I ever recommend them.
