I've had this blender in black for 3 years with no problems. And for a guy, I like the functionality. Speed settings are slow... or fast. Nothing like, puree, frappe, stir, mix. Just slow... or fast. Pretty simple. I've crushed frozen fruits. Blade still looks good. But I just chipped the glass jar at the bottom. Now it won't seal. That surprised me. Maybe the glass isn't as tough as it feels. But still a great blender. Except I bought mine...in the store, on sale.

We used this blender maybe 5 times before the metal piece that makes the blade turn broke off. It's cheaply made and do not suggest this product to anyone. We havent had any luck with Oster products.We returned the blender twice and the same thing happend both times.

This is a rip-off for the red blender, when you can go to Target and purchase it yourself for under $50!

This blender is very eye catching and super efficient. I absolutely love the simplicity of it's style and the power it holds within!!! My friends are so jealous
