This blender is a piece of work. I have had three others in the last six month that died on me. I use blenders mainly for crushing ice for margaritas and smoothies. I can make a full pitcher of crushed ice in under a minute. Its easy to use and clean. The only other blender I would compare this based on price and quality would be the Ninja. However the Ninja doesn't crush the ice as fine as you would want in a drink. There are different blades you can get for the Ninja but I honestly don't want to mess with a kitchen appliance. I want it to be there and ready when I need it and Oster delivered on that need.

I got this wonderful blender for my birthday and you can't go wrong for parties! Everyone loved, loved, loved their fruity drinks. Looks like I'll be having a few Margarita parties this year! I bought this blender in a lightning deal and I'm so happy I purchased it. The kids are also going to enjoy all the summer Snow Cones (Raspas)! Do yourself a favor and buy this machine at half the cost of those other $200 plus Margarita machines!

I have now gone through two of these. The first one broke in < 24 hours and Amazon was great about getting a new one shipped and taking the old one back. The new one worked for about 10 days before breaking the same way as the first (something in the coupling drive between the motor and the part that moves the ice over the fixed blade). I had to go traveling for work right after and the return period has expired so I guess I'm eating the cost of this, but given that two in a row failed the same way in < 2 weeks there might be a batch defect.
