Osterizer Osterizer Blender 14-speed all metal drive Review

The Osterizer 14-speed all metal drive blender is durable. I love the glass pitcher. It cleans well and remains pretty--unlike a polycarbonate pitcher which clouds and gets ugly after several uses. The blade is very durable (can crunch completely frozen strawberries). It has 14 speeds...pulse, blend, chop, puree, mince, grate, beat, blend, shred, cream, grind, liquefy, whip and mix. I do not have a food processor and previously, I always cut my nuts up by hand. However, the other day I used the chop setting on the blender and it worked EXACTLY like a food processor! It was amazing and I am so happy that I got this blender.

It was also a very reasonable price--$25 at Walmart. I expect that it will have a long lifetime. I have had it for 6 months and I use it almost daily. It has shown no wear and tear yet. I also wash the pitcher, blade and other attachments in the dishwasher--it is completely dishwasher safe and has had no effects on the parts. My only complaint is that it does tend to "throw" the food up when you first turn it on...meaning that you better hold your hand on the top of the lid while you're using it (but that is expected of most blenders).

Also, my blender is white, but I believe that there are other colors available.
