Oster 4127 Blender  Product Reviews

"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."

"I have had this blender for about 6 months now and here are the things I really love about it: 1)It is very powerful. Ice cubes and frozen fruit pieces don't stand a chance. This thing chews them up with no problem, and quickly, too! 2)It's multifunctional. It does a great job with all kinds of tasks...crushing ice, making smoothies, pureeing soups, etc. 3)It has a sleek, contemporary design that I admire. Just because it's a blender doesn't mean it can't be beautiful! 4)It's easy to assemble and disassemble. This is very important. If you dread taking it apart to clean it and putting it back together, than you will never want to use it. This one is a breeze to handle. 5)It is well made. The blender container is made of sturdy glass. The plastic lid fits snugly in the container, but not too tight that you struggle to get it off. You don't want to fight with a lid when you have hot pureed soups beneath it! This is a wonderful blender, but unfortunately it's not without drawbacks. Here are the negatives: 1)You've seen this before with other reviews, and I'm here to tell ya...these people are not lying...THIS THING IS LOUD!!! I mean, turn it on and run for the hills LOUD! It is so loud that my 5 year old cries whenever I turn it on. It is so LOUD that your ears will be ringing for an hour afterward. It is just RIDICULOUSLY LOUD! Didn't anyone even turn this thing on before they sent it to the marketplace? 2)The blender cup is durable, but I find it's a little on the small size. It's fine for most tasks but there are times that I wish it had just a little more room. My favorite lemonade recipe is done in a blender and this thing just barely accomodates it. I always end up sloshing it on the counters. 3)This really isn't a drawback for me, but it might be for some people. If you like a blender that has more than a couple speeds and settings to choose from, then this blender is not for you. You pretty much have a choice b/w on and off and that's it, although there is a "pulse" feature that I always forget to use. All in all this is a great blender. If it didn't sound like a jet was taking off in your kitchen, then it would be pretty near perfect. But b/c of its deafening sound, I cannot give it a 5 star rating. So if you want a good performing blender, then you need not look any further. Just make sure to let the dog out and put in your earplugs before you flip that switch!"

"Osterizer 4127 Contemporary Classic Beehive Blender, Brushed Chrome My husband and I have owned the Classic for many years. We discovered early on that the motors of the models of other brands simply burned out with repeated usage. We make a lot of smoothies using frozen fruits. I also use it to chop up food like nuts and some veggies. This is really a tough machine. We have only had to replace the glass jar for a plastic one as it broke. We bought this new one for our son and his wife as the brand they received for their wedding met a quick demise from using it a lot. Our only disappointment was that the plastic removable cap on the lid was broken when we received it and we have to order the whole lid assembly to replace it. Our other option was to return the blender just to get the small part. We have opted to buy the lid."

"This is the perfect blender for a bar. It will crush ice in seconds.Very powerfull motor,don't be afraid!!"
