Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 6684 12-Speed Blender, Black
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I had the same Oster for over 30 years which performed great until recently when it began to smell like plastic burning, so I decided it needed replacing and bought a new Oster because my old one was perfect.
First, I was very disappointed when I opened the box and saw turquoise buttons on the front. I did not notice the color of the buttons when ordering and just assumed they would be chrome like my previous blender. The color clashes with my kitchen decor and what is even worse, the speed labels are difficult to read in the turquoise on black.
Second, my old Oster blender had a button you chose for speed and then an on/off switch that I liked better than pushing the speed button and it starts immediately and then needing to push another button to turn it off.
Third, the jar does not sit firmly in the bowl and feels wobbly even when it should be locked into place. I read of only one other person who had this problem on the reviews. So, I assume I also received a faulty plastic screw on bottom as my old jar does fit in the blender base.
Third, I like the glass jar which my old Oster also had, but I do not like the wide shape with a curvy top. It makes pouring more difficult and the curvy top makes the lid hard to get on and off quickly. The lid is also a less rigid plastic which makes it harder to manage as well.
Fourth, It is much louder and strange sounding than my old Oster, and since the jar is not seated securely, I fear it will fly off the base.
Fifth, The base is taller and wider than my old Oster and I find it hard to pick up and move around on the counter.
It does seem to blend my smoothie okay, but I would return it except I don't want to pay for shipping it back. As someone said Walmart has the same blender for $29,95.
Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
Had his a couple of days now and it's doing the job. Particularly good at crushing ice for protein smoothies. Only takes a couple seconds and there are no ice chunks present. The colors have changed from photo to a gray face place with white and gray buttons. The little green buttons are now gray. It's noisy but works much quicker than the $100 kitchenaid it's replacing.Customer Review: Excellent Blender

The Oster 6682 12 speed blender is very, very good. It does the job quickly and it is very easy to clean up. I like the large opening because it makes it easy to pour and snap to clean. I use it every day. I don't need to take it apart and clean it each time because of the ease of cleaning. Just be careful of the VERY SHARP blades. If you are looking for a basic blender that does a great job, this is it.Customer Review: Excellent Smoothie Maker

Love it. Make smoothie everyday. This thing crashes ice into smoothie so well, it's amazing. It's like drinking an actual smoothie from Jamba Juice store!!!!Customer Review: Excellent blender for frozen fruit
Summary: 5 Stars
I do smoothies every day with frozen fruit and this blender is great for that. I like that it has many ranges of control as well as a low/high selection. It is a powerful and well made blender that cleans up easily. Great buy.
