Oster BLSTAS-BC Designer Series 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender, Brushed Nickel



Capable, has issues: ((SEE UPDATE))
This blender has a powerful motor for it's size. With two speed settings, it is very capable of most any blender task it is given including crushing ice. It has a six cup capacity which is a bit more than most of the lower end models on the market. It is more attractive than most other models too, looks nice on the counter next to my stand mixer of the same color. Another nice feature is the square base on the jar. You can set it down on the motor base from any angle and it fits and is ready to go, no more fidgeting to fit it into the "grooves" just right. The negatives I have found are: it is very noisy, especially on the higher speed setting. The other problem I had with this blender is that every so often, the large plastic nut on the bottom of the jar, (which holds the blade assembly in place), becomes slightly loose during operation. How I found this out was when I poured the contents into a glass; some watery liquid started leaking from the bottom of the jar assembly. After...

DO NOT BUY--will fall apart in a year
This blender is perfect if you want to waste your money, feel like an idiot, and contribute something big and toxic to an already overstuffed landfill somewhere.

Massive amounts of liquid now gush out of the bottom every time I try to pour something out of it. I thought it just wasn't assembled right, but after trying everything, and even looking into buying new parts, I realize that it has simply self-destructed after only a year of light use. The plastic base won't stay on the glass jar, it falls off if held straight, and liquid comes out the entire base when poured. Not a small amount of liquid. Cupfuls.

Don't be fooled by the "affordable luxury" spiel. There is no luxury here. Spend just a bit more and get a Kitchenaid or something much better on sale, something that will last more than a year. It will be a better investment in the long run. Mine is completely useless.

Designer Series push button blender
It is VERY noisy and as the customer above said it is leaking . So it is absolutely waste of money. I never going to recommend this to a friend.I am going to return this product!
