Product Description
The Beehive Professional Series Blender is the ultimate bar blender machine. It is a must have for those who enjoy entertaining and being king of the bar. The black matted fingerless print base finish helps give it that rugged but reformed classic Oster design. The signature base is equipped with an upgraded commercial size toggle switch that controls and the simplicity of 2 speeds. The 1/2 horsepower motor is the most powerful Oster available. The revolutionary ice crusher blade blends ingredients to perfect mixes every time. The new an improved over sized rubber feet, under the base, not only gives the blender that massive look, but keeps the blender motionless during cycles. Oster will outlast other blenders; with its all metal drive system.

 Easily replaced breaks and those that cannot March 13, 2010
S. Snow (LA, USA)
Breaking a rubber gasket is not cause to criticize a blender, but breaking the driver shaft is most definitely.
It depends what is put into the blender to make it break. My last one died after a piece of unchopped parsley was caught in the turning mechanism and burned out the motor. Since motors cannot be repaired or easily replaced that means a new machine. A big negative.
The rubberized gaskets are nothing. I bought 10 of them last time I ordered at the hardware store. They are inexpensive and need replacement now and then.
I want an Oster like the one I received after I was married 40 years ago. It would made out of metal and lasted 35 years.

its very poor quality ... i had to buy another jar base .. they could make a better quality base :(
 If you want to crush ice, get the ice blade attachment February 11, 2010

A lot of reviewers problems have seemed to be with crushed ice, or frozen fruit. I purchased an ice blade to go along with this (only $10 more) and it crushed everything up in about 4 seconds. My honey was thrilled with it!! We have gone through 2 other blenders this month alone, and I will be shocked if this doesn't last. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is I would've like it better if the glass jar was just a little bigger..... but I wonder if I can just order a bigger one?? I'll have to look! GREAT purchase!
 Blender not durable for frozen fruit or ice February 7, 2010
L. G. Nieves (Philadelphia, PA)

Purchased this item after reviewing the positive reviews. For the past 7 months we have used this product daily to make fruit smoothies using frozen fruits. With the series being named 'Professional', one would figure it would be able to handle such use. However this is not the case...the coupling broke off. The product advertisement states that its an 'all metal drive'...however the inside of the coupling is mostly rubber. Sent Oster an e-mail explaining the problem a week ago, yet they have not responded. Will be asking for a refund, if it is still under warranty. Blender may be okay for other uses not involving ice or frozen items frequently...appearance is excellent --appears to be a commercial look.
 Great Blender January 31, 2010
Judy Bodnar (Saint Louis, Mo USA)
I decided to get this blender after seeing all the positive reviews and the price really clinched it. I especially like the glass jar as all my other blenders have had plastic jars which over time developed small cracks. There is only 2 speeds with this blender but that's probably all that is necessary, because the motor whips, grinds, chops everything without any problem. You can't go wrong with this purchase.
