Oster 2613 2-Speed 250-Watt Hand Blender, Red

I agree with all the bad reviews. The only positive thing I can say is that mine did not break the first time I used it. It broke the 4th time I used it. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

The spinning "socket" that the blade shaft must engage with is very soft plastic, it stripped out easily. The removable lower section of ours cracked all the way through, rendering this thing useless. It was only marginal when we bought it, but now...

If there was a poster product for junk, it would be this one. We bought two successively, and both broke within a few months despite low, careful usage (every 2 weeks) and on boiled/mashed vegetables only. The body breaks, or the blades. The...

Wow, I was amazed by the large number of terrible reviews so I did some research to see what had changed. In Jan 2005, some other company bought Sunbeam/Oster, and I suspect they made budget cuts that killed the quality of many (most?) products. I have...

I picked this up at Target as I needed one quickly and this was all that was available. There are a couple of positives including that it is very powerful and I like the feature that the mixer detaches for cleaning. However this is erased by the fact...

Dealing with the very nice Oster customer service folks, it's clear they have a piece of junk to deal with. They sent me one replacement, and (of course) that broke after I over-strained it...making a light salad dressing. If they don't give me a...

I got this for making smoothies. It broke the first time I used it. Thinking it was just a fluke, I bought an identical one. I should have read these reviews, because the second one broke with the first use too! I later shopped on Amazon, bought a...

I'm glad you have the reviews for customers to read. I will definitely NOT buy this for my daughter. I will continue to check out other brands

The base cracked rendering it unusable after 3 uses. Horrible product! I was making a smoothie. its worthless, they said i could get another one
