Oster 6812 / 6813 / 6814 16-Speed Blender Review

My daughter and I started getting into fruit smoothies, so after retiring our hand-me-down plastic pitcher blender that I got from my brother Steve, I begain pricing blenders at Walmart.  After looking week after week for a great bargain, I finally broke down and paid full price for the Oster Blender.  It has a glass pitcher which I like.  My daughter who is 13 can use it with ease and it blends ice cubes with ease.  The only problem I have is getting my daughter to remember to rinse it out after she's done!
