We decided to celebrate the weekend with smoothies and broke out our Oster Pulverizing Power Blender for the task. We followed the very simple directions for assembly and using it and it performed great. All the seeds were pulverized into liquid in a matter of a couple minutes. I love the glass pitcher and the metal grinding gears seem like they will last for many future smoothies making weekends. Cleanup was a snap and it is compact enough to fit in my cabinet, though it would look great on a counter as well.
