Oster 4093 Classic Beehive Blender, Chrome
This classic blender blends margaritas and smoothies, mixes soups and sauces, chops fruits and vegetables, grinds coffee beans and nuts, grates cheese and coconut, and crushes ice. The blender has a high speed and a low-speed pulse control, which can be held down for continuous action. Its 40-ounce, ribbed-and-tapered glass container fits onto Oster’s distinctive beehive-shaped base, which is clad in lustrous chrome and outfitted with slip-proof rubber feet.

Fully assembled, the blender stands 16 inches high on a 7-1/4-inch-diameter base. With the exception of the dishwasher-safe glass container, all parts–including the plastic lid with its plastic 2-ounce measuring insert–require hand washing. The blender carries a one-year warranty against defects, and its instruction booklet includes dozens of recipes.
Oster 4093 Classic Beehive Blender, Chrome Review
I’ve burned through 3 other brands of blenders — each time the plastic “spinner” in the motor base (which mates to a plastic spinner in the pitcher’s base that turns the blade) broke. Finally we decided to try out the Oster “Classic” because it uses a metal shaft that fits directly into the pitcher’s base to turn the blades rather than the plastic disks that all the newer blender designs seem to use. That does the trick. I make a lot of fruit smoothies using frozen fruit — which can be pretty hard on blenders — but so far the Oster Classic has been up to the task. I highly recommend it!
