I spent several weeks researching blenders. Even the top rated Braun
has reviews that aren't that great when it comes to crushing ice, which
is what I was looking for. This thing completely pulverizes ice to a
smooth, soft, slushie consistency. I was looking to recreate a certain
frozen drink that I get at a restaurant, and the one we made with the
Oster was even better than the restaurant's! And they use one of those
expensive frozen drink machines! It's loud, but it works like a breeze.
The only thing I noticed is that it's so powerful, you need to put a
towel over the lid because it will splatter out a little through the
middle cap. A small price to pay for the power this Oster has! All the
extras it comes with are a great bonus too!
Edited to add that 6
years later the blender works as well as day 1! I read through the
reviews and see that some customers received blenders with the
instructions in Spanish. My blender set came with the regular English
language operating manual. I did purchase this directly through Amazon
so maybe some sellers are selling a model for another country?
