Blender lasted one month and then it stopped blending. This worked great when I first got it. Today when I went to make my breakfast smoothie, before I even had the tumbler part connected to the base all the way, it started smoking. Plastic on plastic. I tried again, and set it in to blend. The motor was going but there was no blending action. After examining my old blender of a different brand but similar style and seeing that the connection of the tumbler/blades and the motorized base, the plastic connections were much deeper and there were more. So it is my theory that within one month's usage, due to the style of connection Oster used in the design of this product, and the fact that it automatically starts to blend whether you are ready for it to or not, it wore down the plastic grooves used in the connection of the tumbler and base to the point where it doesn't even blend anymore. Also, I could NOT for the life of me remove the cap of the tumbler. It probably kept tightening as I kept trying and trying to get this thing to blend. Oster made this thing CHEAP. Not a good product given the company's legacy with blenders. STAY AWAY. DO NOT BUY.These types of things don't last long, so for the price if I get a year i'll be happy. This does't blend much. Ice and powders. Frozen fruit maybe. Not extremely powerful for fruits and veggies.I love this small blender. It makes fruit smoothies in less than 30 seconds. Easy clean up- everything can be put in the dishwasher except for the power source. I also love that the bottle is BPA free. The blender is small and takes up little counter space. I’m so glad I got it. Perfect for breakfast smoothies!If you are looking for a bring to work blender, wow this is great. This product is genius. Much quieter than a blender. Does ice, and fruit. You will not be dissapointed. You may use it at home also. Just blend and go!Was a Christmas gift for my daughter, she loves it and uses it daily!!!!Loved it at first but of course it quit working right after the return window time frame!! It is cheaply made though. It only worked when blending milk with our protein powder. Once you throw in fruit, forget about it.I love it!!!I use it everyday - its perfect
