I have had an Oster beehive blender about three years and have used almost every day to make smoothies; that's about 1000 times of heavy duty use, chopping ice and frozen fruit. I have always been satisfied with Oster; my last Oster blender lasted about forty years being used almost the same way. from Amazon.com I bought this blender for frozen drinks. Our 20 year old Oster would struggle with a full jar of ice. from Amazon.com Though this blender was extremely powerful and industrial looking, it was WAY WAY WAY too loud. I mean ear splitting tooth grinding loud. from Amazon.com Trying to go up market to a reliable blender, I got the Oster after my super-cheapo burned out quickly. Thinking, "It's Oster, right?" - so it will be good, I got this one, intending to use it to mix up puppy mush using already-finely-ground meat and milk. from Amazon.com I'm very happy with my blender; got it mostly for frozen drinks but also wanted to be able to use my Oster mini food processor attachment that I had from an Oster that burned up. Was a little hesitant to get another Oster but after looking into other options and some ridiculous prices I decided to get the Professional series one since it had a longer warranty than others in the price range and a stronger motor than my previous one. from Amazon.com While we were in confusion on the number of speeds that we required for a blender, we finally decided on this Oster BPST02-B on account of its good ratings. While, as all say, it is loud and scares our cats, it really does the job. from Amazon.com This is our SECOND Oster Beehive blender in a month. BOTH models failed with the same problem. from Amazon.com and, replacement parts are available at good kitchen supply stores I would not buy an exotic brand for this reason - if you break the pitcher or need to replace the o ring, you do not want to have to hunt it down. Everyone in the world sells Oster. from Amazon.com To clean I filled 3/4 full of water and it makes an incredable tournado it definitely mixes completely and self cleans. This tornado is very impressive to see and we were both amazed when we did this after we first got it. I had a head start on making smoothies as I watched a demo of the vitamix at the fair so combining his method with the Oster recipee book heres my recipee: I put 1 cup vanilla yogurt 1 cup apple/cheery juice, 1/4 cantaloupe with rind removed but with seeds (good antoxidents), 1 peeled orange and about 6 frozen strawberries. from Amazon.com Before this we got a simple Beehive from Walmart with a two position rotary switch. Reviewers had whined about the noise, but it did good work. from Amazon.com
