The switch on the base features the Osterizer name and lets you turn it on by flicking up, or pulse by pushing down. This simple switch lets you pulse or turn on the blender. The glass jar is tempered, so supposedly you can clean it in the dishwasher, use it to blend hot soup, or put it in the freezer without cracking the casing. Cleverly, the sturdy handle can be turned in either direction when the container rests on the base, allowing you to easily grab it whether you're left- or right-handed. The jar and base are lightweight and easy to maneuver. I worked with the 5-cup version with the metallic silver finish for the review. It retails for about AU$97 but can be found online for less.įor a blender with a base price of $60, the Oster Beehive Blender looks good. In the UK, the Beehive costs £270 from Amazon. The price varies somewhat based on the model and retailer, but all versions can be found for less than $100. Both are made of dishwasher safe glass.Īmazon, Target, Walmart, and Bed Bath and Beyond all have the Beehive available for purchase, as does the Oster website. You can also decide if you want a 5 cup or 6 cup jar. If you're in the market for a budget appliance to make simple smoothies for little, you can purchase the Oster Beehive in a variety of colors, such as metallic red, blue, or a classic-looking brushed stainless steel. Sixty dollars is an extremely reasonable price for a blender, given that the Vitamix 7500 costs $529 and even the midrange Ninja Ultima is $259.
