Oster Beehive Chrome Blender By FrankV on Oct 01, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I bought this Oster blender because I wanted something to make smoothies in the morning. I love this model because it does a fantastic job of crushing the ice. My old blender would toss the ice cubes around and leave them in chunks. This one definitely crushes all the ice cubes. It is a bit noisy but that is because of the powerful motor on the blender. I only need to have it on for a short time to make smoothies so this really isn't a problem for me. It only has two speeds but I think that two is plenty. I can make some awesome sauces in this blender too. It has a scratch resistant glass jar which is dishwasher safe too. I prefer the glass over a plastic container because a plastic one will scratch and get cloudy after a few uses. I would highly recommend this blender for it's power and style.
