 NOT PERFECT FOR MAKING FROZEN DRINKS August 11, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've been making frozen drinks (margaritas and pina coladas) quite often, so I purchased this blender hoping it would do a better job crushing the ice into the perfect slush. It doesn't do a much better job than a regular blender if you are looking for a blender to quickly crush all the ice. It starts well, then the blade turns freely and the ice stays at the top. There are some uncrushed pieces of ice with the slush, so I stop it, shake it around and start it again, and I do that several times in order to achieve the perfect result. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BLENDER FOR MAKING FROZEN DRINKS.
Works with Mason Jars!!! July 26, 2008

I just received this blender yesterday, and just want to confirm that regular Kerr Brand Mason Jars work with this blender! Most of the people that wrote reviews mentioning this fact wrote them under the mini jar accessory for this blender.
So, if you are a regular smoothie maker like myself and hate dirtying up the 5 cup jar for just one smoothie, get yourself an Oster blender and some Mason Jars! That way, you can make a single drink in the same jar you drink from!
Be sure to buy the regular mouth Mason Jars... NOT the wide mouth. I bought a case of 12 Mason Jars for $11 but they can be found for a little less.
I'll update this review as I use the blender. For now, I justed to confirm reports that Mason Jars do in fact work with this blender.
Excellent Smoothie Maker July 12, 2008
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!!!!
Another blender. July 3, 2008

After having looked everywhere for a decent affordable blender, I thought maybe I had finally hit pay dirt with this machine. Alas, I was wrong again, it seems that the good old work horse blender of the old days is a thing of the past. This item is not all that bad,except that it is very loud, especially on "High", and it vibrates like a V-8 running on 5 cylinders - you must hold it so it doesn't scoot off the counter( when on "High" ). The lid is quite flimsy and doesn't prevent liquids from oozing out ( hold on baby! ). I guess this is what we must accept as the "norm" in the 21st century, what with Chinese motors and Mexican assembly plants. Not that it is their fault, because, after all, who is engineering the specs?? I would have expected a whole lot more from "Osterizer"

my three month old OSTER 6684 blunder, leaks. Every time I use it, it smells like burning plastic. The bottom plastic, screw on base, is not designed properly. When the base motor spins, it burns the plastic ring. After three months, the ring is worn down enough that the blender now leaks. Since it is over 30 days since I purchased from Amazon, I have contacted Oster, for a replacement. But, So far, not a word from them. Just another company, using their Name and, good reputation, to sell cheap merchandise.
No idea why my updates are disappearing, but I have received a new blender today, what a difference a blender, that is not defective makes. I change my rating to 4 stars ****
