Oster Classic Series 8-Speed Blender with Smoothie Cup Reviews

I like my Blender, by why is everything stainless steel except the rivet that holds the blades together!!!!!!!!!!!!! Discussing

Great powerful blender for its price. Downside to it; there is a three piece lid. The bland, rubber gasket and hard plastic bottom cap. I have found the three piece lid extremely annoying, to wash and assemble before usage. Like most of the other negative reviews, I too made a smoothie and the rubber gasket tangled inside the blend-in-go bottle and ripped. Other that this product failure, the blender is pretty good for its price.

I bought this as a Christmas gift and it does not work at all. Here I thought Oster products were good.... My mom had one for over 30 years. Very disappointing

We've had our two blenders ( 14 speed & classic 1speed & pulse ) for 26 years of almost everyday use and have had no issues with rubber seals. The instructions in our books say to put the seals between the blade base and the screw on cap, not the top of the blade base. I don't see how any rubber seal could get into anybody's mixture which I have been reading about in many revues. I am just ordering new rubber seals and a 6 blade base after 26 years. We have other great Oster kitchen products that also have been very reliable and are very pleased with.

The blender works well. No problems with the glass jar to date, but the seal rings are awfull. The smoothie bottle suddenly started leaking at the bottom seams and the top has always leaked. You Have to order a whole assembly to replace the smoothie travel bottole. Other than sub standard accessories, blender still works mechanically.

I made one smoothie. After drinking half, I got a nice surpise. The rubber ring got sucked into the cup and blended.

This is a good looking blender at a good price. It works well and has lasted close to a year now for us. We use it a lot (my son makes protein drinks daily) and we've had no problems other than a torn gasket. I wouldn't have given it a 4 star for that, but others have had the same issue. Seems to be a weakness in the design. We went through three blenders in about 4 months before this one. So I am quite happy!

First time I used this blender, a month after buying it and receipt long gone - I used the cup it came with, followed instructions and no issues with it - and the blades literally shred up the sealing ring and my shake went everywhere! My first Oster product and I'm very saddened by the outcome.

I received the blender as a Christmas gift. One month later I finally got it out to use it. I added milk, banana, spinach and blended. It worked fine. Then I added 4 ice cubes and pressed the pulse button. It ran for about 1-2 seconds and then the blender stopped. Smells like it burnt up the motor and now it won't turn on at all. Very disappointing product. My old blender was an Oster and I had it at least 10 years. Obviously, I am now questioning the quality of ALL your products.

After buying my blender, I found the Pulse button did not work properly. I contacted the company by phone and the issue was quickly resolved: a new blender was sent to me promptly with return instructions for the defective model, prepaid shipping of course. Now I blend my frozen beverages, crushing ice without a problem.
