What Others Say
Excellent so far
During the past few years, I have really grown to like banana milkshakes and was very disappointed when our old blender bit the dust. After spending a lot of time reading reviews on blenders, I was ready to buy a Waring blender for just under $[...]. The reviews were quite good, and they seem to last a long time. However, after spending a bit more time, I stumbled on this Osterizer for under $[...]. The ratings were all excellent, so I figured I could buy 2 or 3 if needed. It arrived quickly, and except for one issue, has been superb. I really like having 12 speeds - it turns out that the 2nd lowest works great for the banana milkshake (2 bananas and a bit of milk). At that speed it is much quieter than our prior blender. It has also ... Read More
Not bad...
Not a bad product; definitely a great deal for the $. It liquefies as I expected. Great for smoothies, margaritas, and other icy drinks; haven't used it for other purposes yet. Loud, but it is a blender afterall!
A user tip
I used a Hamilton Beach for years, and when it finally gave out, I picked up this Oster. It's a little bit more powerful, and it works well. One tip: Oster 6684 12-Speed Blender, Black needs to be at least a third full before you start blending, or it will vibrate. I'm used to adding items a bit at a time, but Oster 6684 12-Speed Blender, Black works better if you load it up first. Fortunately, it blends well.
pretty good for the price
Overall, the blender is ok. If you aren't a heavy blender user but want one for the occasion when you feel like making a shake or sauce or something, then Oster 6684 12-Speed Blender, Black meets that need.
The Pros:
It has a small footprint, so it won't be taking up too much counterspace.
It has a real glass jar, not plastic.
It does an adequate job blending most things, however you may have to stop and push the ice cream down a few times if making a milkshake
It's medium capacity is perfect for blending 2 good sized milkshakes without accidently making too much or having to make 2 different batches.
The Cons:
The jar doesn't sit exactly level, and if it's off kilt even a bit, it starts shredding the black ... Read More
NOT PERFECT FOR MAKING FROZEN DRINKS
I've been making frozen drinks (margaritas and pina coladas) quite often, so I purchased Oster 6684 12-Speed Blender, Black hoping it would do a better job crushing the ice into the perfect slush. It doesn't do a much better job than a regular blender if you are looking for a blender to quickly crush all the ice. It starts well, then the blade turns freely and the ice stays at the top. There are some uncrushed pieces of ice with the slush, so I stop it, shake it around and start it again, and I do that several times in order to achieve the perfect result. I DO NOT RECOMMEND Oster 6684 12-Speed Blender, Black FOR MAKING FROZEN DRINKS.
