This Oster® Pulverizing Power Blender is a nice blender. It's perfect for making my everyday smoothies and salsas. I like that the lid includes a cap for easy measuring of up to 2 ounces of ingredients. It looks stylish and has a nice metallic paint finish. The 800-watt motor is pretty good at blending. I didn't have any trouble blending ice or chunking up vegetables. My favorite features are the glass blending jar and It's all-metal drive. These are two features I always look for, and prefer for both health, and environmental reasons. The thermal, shock-resistant, and dishwasher-safe Boroclass® glass jar is so much healthier and longer lasting than any plastic alternative. The all-metal drive likely means it'll have good durability. The quality parts make it a very rare find in these modern days of disposability. It helps keep money in my pocket and trash out of the landfills.
