Oster Fusion Blender?

Question

Does any one have this blender? What do you think about it?

Answer 1

We purchased this blender last weekend at Target for $69.95 after using a regular 4 blade Oster blender on vacation that worked very well for making daiquiris and margaritas. None of the blenders that i have used in the past blend large ice cubes good at all but the Oster didn't have a problem. I found many positive and negative reviews about the Fusion model on the web with most of the negatives saying that it would quit working after a few months. Many of the negatives said that when it worked it worked very well so we thought we would give it a try.

The frozen drink and smoothie button works perfect. It starts out slow and switches from forward to reverse a few times to chop up the ice and fruit. Then it speeds up to finish the job. There is no guess work about which button to push and trying to shove the ice cubes and fruit to the bottom. The reverse on the motor only works with the two preset buttons. We have made frozen drinks in it and the ice gets blended completely with no chunks at all. My wife has made about 15 smoothies in it and says they come out perfect. We used the preset button for both and in 30 seconds it's done. What I like most is that it doesn't have 18 speeds to try and figure out. It just has slow, medium, and fast. This thing is very loud but what blender isn't.
