Fantastical! (updated) (updated again)
This guy is the bees knees. I made a smoothie every day and this thing works great . Has a custom smoothie button that goes through this little process and then shuts off when it's done. Then you can just grab the cup and put the lid on and take it with you. I also make hummus in this guy. Easily the best blender I've ever owned, but I've always only owned the cheap crap you get at walmart. Can't imagine needing a nicer blender than this.
Update: the blender still works great, but if you attempt to order an extra cup from oster, you're in for quite the experience. I was given some kind of tall tale about the cup not being manufactured anymore. When mentioned to the rep that they were still selling the blender (with the cup in question no less) this was explained away that there were still some in circulation. And this was after she tried to sell me the wrong cup, in spite of my protestations that this cup (as stated by Amazon and their own website) was (for some psychotic reason) not compatible with my particular blender.
TLDR: If you're expecting to buy this blender and be able to buy accessories for it, you're in for a bizarre and frustrating experience, thus I have significantly lowered my score.
Update 2. Blender died. Just barely a year of service. Just shut off and wouldn't come back on. On Friday I was on my way to work and called oster about a warranty. Lady demands the serial number and refused to help any further. Now it's Monday, and now that oster is back open I'm on hold. Actually this is my fourth call of the day. The previous three calls say, "due to unusually high call volume, we are unable to handle this call." It then hangs up on you. Infuriating. Will update if I ever get someone to answer.
