Product Description

With sleek modern styling and a powerful 450 watt motor, this efficient countertop blender works great for whipping up fruit smoothies, mixing frozen margaritas, blending pureed soups, stirring up zesty salsas, and more. Simply add ingredients to the large 5 cup scratch resistant glass jar, secure the lid, and make a speed selection from the user friendly push button control panel. Choose between low power and high power and 16 speed settings including grate, blend, shred, grind, mash, liquefy, frappe, stir, beat, puree, chop, whip, pulse, ice crush, and more. The appliance features sharp ice crushing stainless steel blades to ensure smooth results and an exclusive all metal drive system where the two connecting pieces, from motor to blade, are made of metal (instead of plastic) for enhanced durability and long lasting performance. Best of all, the glass jar can safely go in the dishwasher for effortless cleanup. From one breakfast smoothie or party drink to the next, the blender, which measures approximately 8 3/5 by 10 1/5 by 14 inches, might be best left out on the counter for quick, easy, everyday access.

Customers are mixed about the cleanability of the food blender. Some mention that cleaning is super easy, as well as the assembling and disassembling process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small But Powerful
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2023
Style: BlenderVerified Purchase
I purchased this blender just for making salsas and Mexican sauces. I love it!
It’s the right size and grinds cooked or raw peppers, garlic, and roughly cut onions with great ease.
So far I have blended both cooked and raw jalapeños, Serrano peppers, roughly cut onions, and garlic cloves; salsas came out perfectly blended. I filled the carafe with the several jalapeños and Serrano peppers, two garlic cloves, and half a bunch of fresh cilantro to make a salsa and I ended up with a 16 ounces of salsa; Perfect for small quantities and my 16 ounce mason jars.
Today, I blended 10 boiled Chili Ancho peppers and 6 boiled Guajillo peppers with 2 cups of hot tap water for Chili Colorado with no problem. It filled up to 4 to 5 cups.
Its 5 cup carafe makes clean up very easy and the thick glass is strong. The blade is very sharp. Be careful.
This blender is small but the motor is powerful.
Mexican cooking made much easier.

My previous Oster blender lasted well over 10 years. I love the glass jar and measurement markings. Even the cap has a little measuring scoop. My only issue with the blender is the black plastic middle part. It’s flimsy and makes it look cheap. The blender itself works great so far. Sturdy base, strong blades and multiple settings. We’ll see how it holds up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well for my smoothies
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2022
Style: BlenderVerified Purchase
I just replaced my huge & more expensive blender that I was given as gift. It had all the bells & whistles & a heater in the base but was too heavy for me & you couldn't get the base wet or wash it thoroughly & it started to smell. I had another Oster blender for 20+ years, so got this one. It is so much lighter & easier to handle and I use the pulse to get things started with my frozen fruit smoothies and then switch to the smoothie button. This is smaller than my old Osterizer blender, but big enough for 2+ cups of frozen fruit, yogurt, and 3 cups of liquid and is quite than either of my previous blenders. Can take it apart for a thorough washing and not strain my arthritic hands. Plus these Oster blenders can use small Mason jars with the base to grind or puree small things. I bought a small jar with a lid on Amazon & used with my old Osterizer and it works with this one too.

This blender works surprisingly well with Frozen fruit. Blades are very sharp, so do be careful when cleaning the product. It's also fairly simple and easy to use. The parts all separate as well to make cleaning much easier and assembly was not difficult at all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive . . . And It Shows
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2011
Style: BlenderVerified Purchase
We purchased this blender last May for my wife to use with her twice-daily protein shakes. She must mix them up with some special medication she needs to take. It thus gets very regular use.

This past February, a little more than 8 months after purchasing, the black plastic collar that screws onto the base of the glass jar to retain the blade unit developed a crack all around, rendering the blender unusable. The manufacturer has embossed this collar with a legend stating "dishwasher safe" but evidently this is not true.

I am now trying to figure out whether I can get a replacement of this fragile collar from an authorized service center. In the meantime, because my wife's medical needs can't wait, I went out and bought the 12-speed version of this blender from a local electronics superstore, for about the same price I paid for this 16-speed one.

While it was working, this blender seemed to do the job. We did notice the ozone smell that others have mentioned when we first started using it, but that seems to have gone away now. The blades, which are quite sharp, do a good job on ice. If it weren't for the fragile nature of the black plastic collar that screws on the bottom of the jar, we would give it a much better rating. Although I notice that the price has gone up about 10% since we bought our unit last year, it's still not a bad deal for the money. Just be very careful with that black plastic piece -- and consider hand-washing it instead of using he dishwasher.

UPDATE: I have downgraded my rating of this unit from three stars to two, after making the 56-mile round trip to the nearest authorized service center, which is apparently the only route to obtaining warranty service on this unit.

I had to bring the entire blender in. Of course, the center did not have the replacement part. The proprietor is Asian and spoke only halting English. He wrote out a receipt form that stated "Model 6800" even though this unit is model 6812. I could not persuade him to correct this entry, even though I'm convinced I will get the wrong part as a result.

What really puts the icing on the cake, though, is that he said it will be 4 to 6 weeks to get anything from Oster/Sunbeam. He predicts that the company may just send me a new blender. That would be fine, but 4 to 6 weeks is an awfully long time to wait. And I am certain that I will receive the wrong replacement unit because of this guy's sloppiness in logging this one in as a "6800" rather than a "6812."

No matter how well the blender works when it works, this kind of non-service service makes the unit far less valuable. Having to drive 56 miles (in metro Los Angeles) and then having to wait 4 to 6 weeks for resolution simply isn't up to par in my view.

In sum, let the buyer beware.

SECOND UPDATE: Since posting the last update, Oster rode to the rescue by mailing me a replacement plastic collar at no charge. This corrects the problem, and so far the replacement collar has held up. So I have increased my rating of this unit.

As a passing note, this 16-speed unit seems much nicer than the replacement 12-speed unit that I bought in a big-box electronics store, as noted above. Although they look very similar, the configuration of the glass jar on the 12-speed model is not as robust in its fit on the motor base. This 16-speed unit is a better bet.

I really like the glass jar and top loading features. The bottom is plastic and looks cheap.

Excelente licuadora, no he tenido ningún problema, tiene varias velocidades que cumplen con sus funciones, el color es lindo, el vaso de vidrio y la base de plástico (no es metal). La compré a muy buen precio así que la relación calidad-precio es excelente. La recomiendo.
