Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 4093 Classic Beehive Blender, Silver
Customer Review: Works like a charm & sounds like a boat motor! Cool!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this blender when I finally had enough of my fancy KitchenAid Blender. The KitchenAid could not even blend fruit into a shake, and forget about crushing ice, it just wasn't happening.
I did a little Internet detective work, and decided upon the Oster 4093-8 with a 500-Watt motor (Note: The Oster 4093-800 has a weaker 375-Watt motor, the 4093-8 and the 4093-800 are NOT the same model).
The Oster is fantastic, making quick work over anything & everything I've thrown at it. It's loud enough to wake the dead, but that's a small price to pay for a tool that actually works.
Two thumbs way up!
Customer Review: 16 years of use and still going!
Summary: 5 Stars
This blender has seen me through making baby food, milkshakes, and whatever else. Makes good baby food. My babies would not eat store bought baby food after being spoiled with baby food made on this blender. It is made in the good old USA too. Motor is still going strong after all these years. They don't make stuff like this anymore. Blender is sitting on kitchen cabinet right now and I can still use it right now if I wanted too. Back then price was $80.00, a little high in price for that time. But look at all the years of use I have received. This will pass down to my daughter upon my death. If you see a used one for sale-grab it.Customer Review: Response to Melissa's Review
Summary: 3 Stars
Melissa, have you broken your Oster yet? I've gone through two Oster blenders for the sole reason that they keep sending me new ones. So, though I speak highly of the company, they alas, will also break. While other blenders have that rubber connection to the motor and the Oster's is metal, the metal piece is connected to the motor with a rubber grommet that you won't see until it breaks. I don't want to mislead that the performance of the blender isn't outstanding while it's working, but then it's broken. So my only problem really is being out one blender for about 12 days while I'm waiting for my new one to come by UPS.Customer Review: LOUD LOUD LOUD!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used a much older Beehive style Oster blender and it was strong and quiet. This one is unacceptably LOUD for indoor use. It is as loud as an electric chainsaw. It would definitly wake up anyone sleeping in our household. The motor seems powerful and the blades sharp.
Update. 28 Dec 2010
Found a better blender on Amazon, less than half the price, slightly less loud, but with 8 speeds instead of 2 you can have more control over the volume. Costco has them in all colors including chrome. With a plastic base similar to the beehive style. Oster BLSTMG-W 6-Cup Glass Jar 8-Speed Blender, White.
Customer Review: Durable and powerful
Summary: 5 Stars
After going through 3 other blenders in the span of 2 years, I finally found a blender that is durable and effectively does the job. This blender has a stainless steel blade and blade holder that is made to last unlike the others that I previously owned. Other blenders that I previously owned leaked due to the cheap plastic blade holder or the motor stopped working. This Oster blender only has two settings, but I found that I didn't need many blending options for making smoothies and pesto sauce. It should also be noted that this blender is very loud due to the extremely powerful motor... but who cares if it works!
