This is an excellent blender. I just received it and it is already being put to use chopping ice and making smoothies. The construction is well done even though some of the parts are plastic, it is a hard durable plastic. The canister has a top that locks firmly in place and the blender won't start unless the top is in place right. The blades are extremely sharp and I can see why it crushes ice with no problem. It has a 9 cup capacity which should be enough for most uses at home. This is a great addition to my kitchen and I highly recommend this blender for someone who wants good quality but is not willing to pay over $100 for a blender.

I am so happy I bought this, it has worked wonderfully! I've had it for a few months, used it on all sorts of thing, no problems. The best little thing about this blender is the buttons on the front don't have any open space for food to get in them. I love that! It's so easy to clean, and I hate trying to gouge dried food out of little corners.

After ruling out the Vitamix as cost prohibitive, I was set on an Oster model that has been seeing rave reviews. While browsing various models this particular one came up and caught my attention.  An unheard-of brand, I was apprehensive and read every single 1star/2star review on here and in the end was swayed by how the vendor responded to each and everyone in an effort to make things right. I pulled the trigger.

Couldn't be happier with it. I have made around a dozen smoothies so far (haven't used it for anything else) and it has done supremely well.  Unlike my previous blender (entry-level Ninja) where I chopped up the produce into smaller pieces, in this one I have been putting them whole: whole oranges, whole carrots, frozen berries, all come out into a perfectly creamy concoction. Believe me, I have been closely watching for lumps or grits but there has been none so far.  Pretty impressed with this thing.

I recently began to add chia seeds and whole flaxseeds (not flaxseed meal, whole seeds) and was curious to see if it would end up in the smoothie as seeds. Happy to report that the CleanBlend blends it perfectly and all I see in the end is a creamy smoothie. Very happy with this purchase so far.

As per the guidelines mentioned in the manual, I always start the blender in the lowest speed and then go up from there. When I use carrots and frozen berries, it occasionally doesn't do much in the lowest speed, but does fine in the higher speeds.  While layering the ingredients, I always put the bulky ingredients (like carrots) at the bottom and ice all the way on top. On occasion, even at the higher speeds the ingredients stay stuck and don't move around while the blades are spinning at full speed.  This is where the tamper comes in.  Gentle pressure from the top with the tamper kicks it loose right away and pulverizes everything.

I love how I am finally able to make smoothies with raspberries without its seeds getting in my teeth, and, I have fully embraced Green Smoothies!  A common performance metric on online reviews seems to be how well blenders blend the greens and whether you see specs of leaves in the end result. Happy to report that all you get everytime is a smooth creamy concoction.

This is a surprisingly good blender!
First off, I didn't buy this blender from Amazon, I bought it from Wal-Mart as an impulse buy after my Bella single-serve blender started eating gaskets. The blender at Wal-Mart was 59.99. Some thoughts on this, it's very LOUD! But it's also VERY powerful! It can chew through everything I have thrown at it so far, and does not seem to struggle doing it. Word of caution on blades, VERY sharp, so watch the fingers! I haven't been nicked, but I can tell it is easy to do! I love this blender so far. It's been awhile since I had a full-size blender, the last one I had,did not impress me at all with it's power and it burned out far too easily.
I read some of the reviews on here about the gasket not being available, which scared me a little, and I ended up calling customer service to find out about the issue.
They are having a supply problem with the gasket and cannot seem to get them in stock. They are working on the problem I was told. Oster has some of the best customer service I have ever encountered. Suffice it to say, they have a solution if you ever have a gasket issue, they will take care of the problem. If that is your only worry or hesitation about buying this blender, don't let it bother you. After dealing with them on the phone for a few minutes, I ended up buying the food processor attachment which was only 15.00 when the rep applied a coupon code for me. As powerful as the blender is, I think the food processor will work well with it.
I have great confidence both in the blender, and Oster as a company. I am psyched to get the attachment now. If you are looking for a good quality blender at a reasonable price, don't hesitate to pull the trigger on this one. It's not top of the line, but for the money, it is top quality!

I purchased this blender in green (with a plastic jar) from the Big "W" for super inexpensive.  This model replaces a 25 year old Osterizer which was getting a bit weak.  The old jar fits perfectly on the new blender.  This model is rated at 450 watts and it is fairly powerful within its limits, it is not a Vitamix!  For what it is it is fabulous, I make 2-3 smoothies /day and this Oster is perfect for the task!  It crates a great vortex, it is no wonder why Oster has stuck with the same blade design through the decades...It just works and you, as a consumer, know that it won't be obsolete six months from now.

Want an inexpensive blender that works?  Buy one of these with either the glass or plastic jar and be done with it.

I was really thinking about about buying a new blender because I did not know I could buy this set. I am so glad to find this for a good price. I will probably never wear out the base or blender so why not get new blades once in a while.

I despaired finding replacement parts for my Osterizer 16 speed blender as it is quite old. I took a chance on this product and was surprised to find that it is superior to the original parts. The lid fits better and the blade is slightly longer so that it blends better without bogging down.

This was exactly what I ordered.  It came packaged very nicely and has been a perfect replacement jar for my Oster Fusion Blender.

The Oster Fusion Blender is a great product for making my smoothies every morning - it cuts up ice wonderfully and blends everything to perfection. The glass jar really helps with this.

It is wonderful, easy to use and does smoothies wonderfully. So happy I upgraded from my other blender and will not go back.

I bought this to replace a famous chef's brand of immersion blender that broke pretty quickly.  It works well and comes with a lot of helpful accessories.  My old one discolored the surface of several bowls and pans because the blades left black circles when I used it in them, but this one has blades that do not touch the bottom so it's safe to use right in the pan or bowl.  I'm quite happy with it.

For the price, this is no doubt an excellent blender. I love to blend smoothies as meal substitute. The multi-blades feature is great, all I have to do is stuff in all the ingredients and turn it on. 30 seconds later I will have my finely blended smoothies ready. No more problem with ingredients stuck in the middle.

Some people mention in the review that they have problem with the detachable blade, but I can only think of one scenario that would cause such problem, which is press the release button while the blender is blending. The blender has a locking mechanism on the lid, the blender cannot start without the lid close and locked. Just need to be careful not to unlock the lid while blending, and make sure the lid is secured before start.

I personally love the removable blade, it is so easy to clean and dry. I had so much problem with my old blender when the blade got dirty, but not anymore. This blender design is very well thought. Practical, powerful, and easy to maintain. With this affordable price and performance of a professional blender, you just cannot ask for more.

I was ready to buy a brand new blender only because the blade wasn't spinning. Then I found this part for very reasonable price and my blender is working as new. The seller shipped the item very quickly as well.

I replaced my blenders ice blade with this Ice Blade.  It gave my blender just the tune up it needed.
It seems to be cutting with more ease.  Very good replacement for my old Oster blade.

I have a old model of the Vitamix system. The lid was very hard to close tight. I used the blender very morning and I struggled very time. I saw the demo of the new machine at Costco and loved the way the lid sealed tight but didn't want to buy a brand new 64 oz container ($99 at Costco). I searched amazon and found the container without blade for $40. I was worried if the blade on my old container would fit the new container. It went in perfectly. The wrench is a must to remove the blade. I struggled a little to loosen the blade because the blade was in the old container for more than 10 years. I watched the instruction in youtube to install the blade and tighten it up. Now I enjoy my blender every time I use it and clean it. No more splashing liquid everywhere. New container is so pretty..I will keep it that way as long as I can. The best $40 I have ever spent!!

Ive had a KitchenAid blender for over fifteen years, and have loved it. Before that, Id used a cheap blender that didn't work quite as well. The KitchenAid blender canister has started to wear out and they no longer make certain critical parts for the model I have. After over a year of searching for parts, I finally resolved that I needed a new blender. Enter the Blendtec Designer 625 with WildSide Jar, Black.

Blendtecs blender is bigger and more powerful than my old KitchenAid model. This device can hold a whopping ninety ounces in the Wildside Jar that is included in the box. Blentec promotes the Wildside Jar as being ideal for: larger blends, high-volume recipes, bread dough, smoothies, dips and batters. It also has two vertical ridges on the inside walls of the blender to disrupt the blending pattern even further and accelerate the blend. All I know is that it blends everything Ive put in it so far quickly and smoothly.

The blender has a 3.0 horsepower motor, which is quite a lot more than my old KitchenAid model, which I believe only had a 0.9 horsepower motor. The power improvement is evident in how much faster everything blends in the Blendtec.

So far, Ive made malted milkshakes, smoothies, and paletas (Mexican Popsicles) and all have turned out very well. I should point out that the paletas use real fruit that must be pureed for the popsicles. While this worked in my old blender, it took a little longer and I couldn't do as much at once since the canister was smaller. Pureeing fruit in my food processor doesnt always work, since the more liquid mixtures tend to leak out of the top of the food processor lid. The Blendtec is perfect for this and will be of tremendous help to me as I make more paletas this summer. My favorite flavors are watermelon, cantaloupe, and pineapple  each of which is very liquid.

The controls are all touch-based, and illuminate when activated. This model has four pre-programmed buttons: Smoothie, Ice Cream, Whole Juice, and Hot Soup. It also has a six-speed touch slider and pulse control. I use the slider most often so far.

One thing that is a bit unusual about the Blendtec is that they do not recommend washing it normally. Every blender Ive had before supported putting it in the dishwasher, but not Blendtec. They even caution against submerging the canister in a sink of soapy water. According to the manufacturer, the best way to clean the canister is to run pulse it with hot water and a drop of liquid dish soap for about five seconds, then rinse it. They add that you can santizie it more thoroughly by adding one or two teaspoons of liquid chlorine bleach to the water instead of dish soap, stir it for ten seconds, and then let the solution sit in the jar for five minutes. I admit this unnerves me a bit, but it seems to be working well so far.

As a nice bonus, Blendtec has numerous recipes on their website suggested for use with this blender. I am especially interested in some ice cream recipes that use milk frozen in ice cube trays, and will be experimenting with these when I have more free time soon.

If you are in the market for a very good blender and can swing the budget for this model, then I highly recommend the Blendtec Designer 625.
