Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster Contemporary Classic Beehive Blenders
Customer Review: Too heavy, too powerful!
Summary: 2 Stars
I think that Tim "the tool man" Taylor, designed this blender. There is a very high pulse speed and an even higher set speed (the only 2 speeds). This creates an air pocket around the bottom so, you have to pick up the blender and shake it every 10 seconds. This is the only way to get what you're blending to fall back to the bottom.
Also the lid broke in the first month when the center feel into my shake. The blades are strong! They broke the plastic lid in seconds.
The container part is a heavy thick glass which is good or bad depending on what you want.
It is also very loud! Wear ear plugs.
It does look nice sitting on the counter, but I would recomend something else if you plan on using your blender.
Customer Review: LOUD but FANTASTIC!
Summary: 4 Stars
I primarily make smoothies with this blender, which can be a problem for many other blenders, but not for this one! It crushes ice and blends like a dream. My only complaint is that it is really loud. I had a Kitchenaid 5 speed blender before this one and it was MUCH quiter. I also sampled the Viking blender in a store once and it was also pretty loud. But aside from the sound factor, this blender is easy to use and works just as well as your top dollar blenders, if not better.
Also keep in mind, you can get add on accessories for a very reasonable price. I purchased the stainless milk shake carafe and the food processor attachment. This is an option that you can't get with other blenders.
Customer Review: Great for smoothies!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a blender powerful enough to make my morning frozen fruit and yogurt smoothie in under a minute - this blender does it in under 20 seconds! I like the two speeds (who actually uses all 12 of the speeds offered by other blenders?!?), with the pulse being a somewhat slower and more "grinding" blend and the sustained speed being a high powered "whip it up" blend. Overall, very very pleased with this product. And the brushed chrome looks so good, I can leave it on the counter!Customer Review: The Best
Summary: 5 Stars
This blender is simple, powerful and makes excellent blended drinks of all types. We use it for everything from breakfast shakes for my children to frozen margaritas, and it never fails to deliver. The design is basic which in my experience means "less likely to break". Only thing to watch out for is the blade, which is quite sharp and can make handwashing a painful experience in the literal sense. Replacement parts are very easy to find and reasonably priced.Customer Review: Very, Very Good...but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought to make morning smoothies. Chops quickly, easy to clean, elegantly simple & attractive, the blender seems to be of very good quality.
Negative points are the LOUDNESS of this thing. Sounds like a rock-crusher in action. Also has some issues with blending too much fruit and ice at once. Be reasonable in adding things to blend, and you'll be fine.
Overall, a very good product.
