it's easy to use (mostly for fruit smoothies), easy to clean, and durable...
overall this blender seems to be well made and pretty well thought out.
to hold the glass container, and the plastic cover on the underside of the unit says this blender looks like a professional blender but is short on quality craftsmanship of real heavy duty blenders.
the parts that latch the blender onto the base are metal instead of plastic, which means it is much more durable and will likely last longer.

close examination of the oster reveals cheap materials and cost cutting construction-as others have said, don't make them like they used to.
simple in operation and flawless in design and construction, it's a pleasure to use and a breeze to clean.
how it holds up over time is an unknown, but right out of the box it seems very sturdy and well-made.
my goal was to find a blender that was powerful enough to do the frozen fruit and ice necessary for smoothies (often 2-3 times per day) and durable enough to not break down.
hope they can fix it--doubtful, given its one-piece construction.

it's meant for low-volume blending, not for heavy-duty use....due to its size....but great as a personal blender.
however it is not as heavy duty as a larger blender.
the container is durable, the travel lid is useful (it locks so you can tip your cup and not spill), and the cup is large.my only complaint is that after a few uses, my blender began to have a slight
i have a heavy duty deluxe blender with more speeds and a larger capacity - it takes up a lot more room on the counter and you know what?

the plastic container is perfect for commercial use as it is very durable and is actually the reason i went for the 1000w over the highly rated 750w model with the glass container.
it's still very well made and he design of the jar allows it to blend frozen fruit with ease, but it's about half the price of a vitamix.
but seriously, the durability of the glass is impeccable!
it has a pearlized (metallic/glittery) pearl finish with real stainless, plus heavy duty lime green plastic/rubber, and a heavy glass blender bowl.
it was certainly a splurge, but is so well made i know i will be using it for years to come.

my only complaint is the plastic part that covers the power cord is flimsy and for $350 plus it shouldn't be.

at a time when most manufacturers of kitchenwares are moving production to mexico or asia, vitamix continues to produce a sturdy, high-quality american product for the american market.
the vita-mix base units are heavy because they use heavy-duty motors.
according to vita-mix costomer service, the difference between commercial model and this pro model (home-use) is primarily the blade (thicker for durability), the moter is the same.
