Question: Trying to decide if I should get this blender. Who/what kind of person would you recommend this to and for what?
Document: The lid is made from some kind of plastic or vinyl that off gasses really strongly. My smoothies tasted like chemicals. The things I tried to get the smell to go away: I hand washed it; let it air out; put in through the dishwasher. None of it worked. Unfortunately, plastic off-gases for a long time - many years.I don't recommend unless you want your smoothies and soups to taste toxic.
With a seven year warranty how can you go wrong. Only thing I've debated on giving a five star rating on was the smoothness of my frappe's. They came out really well but not perfectly blended like the one I get at the local coffee shop. But decided it wasn't anything worth complaining about. I would recommend this blender to anyone needing a workhorse of an appliance.
It has all the power of the more expensive brands at 1/3 the cost. It does a very good job of pureeing food.I would recommend this item to anyone wanting to get into making healthy smoothies and all sorts of healthy foods.
At about 2 horsepower of power, this incredibly loud small appliance has been a workhorse around this household. Unlike the first one I received, there was no plastic smell that overwhelmed me when I opened this box. Oster has a great website with recipes, so if you're considering this performance blender, I'd recommend checking it out prior to your purchase to get some ideas about what it can do.
The smoothie preset falls a bit short of what I was hoping, thus I'd recommend switching to manual override if you want to eliminate seeds/grit. Despite the blade being permanently fixed to the jar, the wide design allows for cleaning without getting stabbed.Overall a great performer and an appealing addition to our kitchen. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a bit more utility from their blender but not wanting to shell out $400+ for  some of the premium brands.
Keep this in mind if you want to make a raw veggie smoothie or to "juice." I wouldn't ever recommend either for that as you will be cooking away the vitamins. Get a good extracting juicer for that. Both blenders have a infinite power dial to customize your experience so in the end it will be a matter of choice and whether you to spend an additional $300.00 for the Vitamix.
Most of the particles end up on the underside of the lid, but if you are vigorously using the Temper some of the debris manages to escape through the gap between the Temper and the circular opening in lid. I wish there was some kind of flexible rubber skirt that would create a better barrier between the temper and the opening in the lid.&#10008; I found the sensor that determines if the jar is set correctly on the base somewhat temperamental.
I would have preferred to be able to take apart all parts for cleaning, but so far doing it the way that is instructed is working fine too without getting trapped food.As I use it more, I will update this review. Right now, I am very happy with it and would highly recommend it.
I suspect adding a bit of oil would help the process (but defeat the purpose a bit. )Getting every little bit out of the container was also a bit tricky. Likewise, cleaning required a damp paper towel to get in and get out all the peanut butter. But all in all, the whole process, including cleaning the blender, took 5 minutes. And wow is it good stuff.
If the VitaMix were near the same cost as the Versa, sure I'd get the VM every time. But it isn't - enter the Versa - it's THE blender choice for folks who would choose a VitaMix other things equal, but were stopped by price.
Answer: My humble opinion:  my wife wanted a Vitamix. I was skeptic because of the high price and not having heard of that brand before.  So I searched for all high-power blenders available in Amazon, sorted by price, ignored the ones with few reviews, and read reviews carefully.  This, and the costliest Ninja, were the only ones with no complaints of them stopping working after a few months. Since my wife did not trust the Ninja, and I trust Oster as brand, I went for this.  We're very happy with this choice:  it grinds everything, and the price was right.
