Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster Contemporary Classic Beehive Blenders
Customer Review: Absolutely the Best!!! And I've tested enough of the others to know!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My friends joke about how thorough I am about making consumer purchase decisions. They say, "If you want to get the best, get him interested in what you're looking for and he'll research it 'till he finds it.
Well I found it! The Osterizer Classic Behive Blender series is truly the best. In my search, I tried a professional bar blender by Hamilton Beach and the newer styles with the larger, wider bottom mixing jars like the one from KitchenAide. The Beehive crushes and blends anything I desire.
I bought an Osterizer Beehive that also came with a milk-shake mixer and blade, a food processor attachment and a babyfood jar attachment. They all work great and got them all as a single bundle on sale for $79 - less than the other blenders listed below that didn't work as well. You can also buy the attachments separately, if you desire. I even found that certain slightly smaller mouthed tahini (sesame seed butter) jars work as well, which enable me to mix things like sauces right in the jar I plan to refrigerate them in -- Jars made by Arrowhead Mills work well, for example.
Plus, the heavy duty construction of the Beehive is fantastic as well. Very sturdy base and solid motor. Yes, it's slightly loud, but only slightly. And it's not like it needs to be on long enough to destroy any conversation worth having. A couple of seconds, and you're done. I was a little concerned about the dial switch that came with mine since I thought the flip switches would be better and easier to clean. However, I love the three speeds with the option of turning off at the high end or the low end. And it cleans just fine.
The Hamilton Beach is only good for restaurant style crushed ice, forget it for home-made ice. Plus, the plastic mixing jar that is legally required in restaurants feels lightweight and cheap at home. The Kitchenaide has a strong enough motor, but their (and others') attempts at improving what already works has failed miserably. The larger wider mixing jars are great for crushing ice, but if you throw any fruit in there as well, it leaves fruit lumps. It couldn't even blend a banana for me without leaving lumps on numerous attempts.
Seriously, the Osterizer is absolutely amazing. And I am simply an enthusiastic consumer who has finally found a product that truly delivers. Oh, I was also slightly concerned that the chrome would be too "loud" in my kitchen, but it simply looks wonderfully retro. The very top part is plastic, as opposed to the metal of the base, which I also thought might be a concern, but the the difference in chrome color and texture are minimal, so no aesthetic issue, and the plastic is heavy duty and long lasting. Again, you can't go wrong with this blender!!!
