To start I like Oster products and have a few others in my house. This blender is by far better then any blender I have had, and I am rough on blenders, 3 in the past year with burnt motors from making smoothies 3 times a day.

THIS BLENDER WORKS AMAZING WITH ICE CREAM, AND WITH ICE MAKING SMOOTHIES. I have needed a good blender for a some time now. This is a test item I was sent to sample and I really like it. I work on a fire department and we bulk up while working out and this will get a lot of use. so far this is a awesome blender that I think I will by a few more for the station now too.
