Customer Review: Utterly useless
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought this over a year ago, and hardly ever used it for one reason: every time we've used it, the lid flies off and the entire kitchen gets terribly messy.
The first time I used it, I blended tomato soup. Soft, cooked tomatoes. How difficult could that be? The moment I hit the button, the lid flew off from the internal pressure, and I had to spend the next hour cleaning the horrible mess it left everywhere. It's as if someone dropped a bomb in the kitchen.
Next time I got smarter, and held the lid very tight. I don't recall what I blended, must've been something soft again. Little good did that do! The motor is super powerful, and since there are only two speeds, you can't build up the pressure gradually as you can with other blenders. The lid popped up again, and a lot of the liquid leaked from the top and from the cap. Auugh the mess! again!
Third time I got even wiser. I put a plastic bag on top of the jar, and pressed the lid on top of it as tight as I could. Yet again! It still leaks! With such a powerful motor, it's hard to keep the lid in place. The pressure builds and the liquid forces the lid open. The third method caused the least amount of mess, but it's still a mess nonetheless. How can they make a blender with a lid that won't stay in place?
I had other Oster blenders (the ones with many speeds) and they've worked for many years without a problem. But this fancy-schmancy-super-powerful one, is so powerful, and the lid so flimsy and poorly constructed, that it's impossible to use.
I called Oster (well after the warranty expired), and all they could offer is to have me buy a new lid, even though the rep stated they haven't changed the construction of those lids.
The jar & lid we have is square. You might fare better with cube or round ones. I haven't tried.
Description of Oster 4094 Classic Osterizer Blender, Chrome
White gold rhodium bonded matte aqua enamel eternity ring in silvertone. You can stack it up, wear it on a chain, or wear it on your finger. The fun possibilities to accessorize are endless with the fun for eternity series. White gold rhodium bond is achieved using an electroplating process that coats the item with heavy layers of rhodium, a close cousin of platinum that costs three times as much, which gives our jewelry a platinum luster. - base metal: lead free alloy - clasp: - size: sizes 5-10 - item weight: 2g - carat weight: - backing: - chain: - length: 3mm - width: 20mm - height: 2mm...Blenders
