The Oster of all Osters

There is nothing like a fresh, homemade milkshake on a hot Texas Summer day. That was my thoughts the day I ventured into Wal-Mart to find me a blender that would not only make milkshakes, but that could help cool me down with a fresh made margarita or a fruit smoothie. While I was comparing the blenders available to me, I found the Oster 6642 Cube Work Top Blender. When you compare products, I, like the rest of the free world, want the most bangs for my buck. I could have gotten one of these retro-looking, stainless steel high dollar blenders that look wonderful in an upper class house, but I am a middle class renter, who lives on a budget. My budget allowed for me to purchase the Oster 6642 Cube Work Top Blender.

According to the Epinions spec page for this product,"Offering 12 speeds and powered by a 450-watt motor, this Oster 6642 12-Speed blender stirs party dips, pures vegetables, creams butter, chops nuts, whips cream, mixes drinks, grates cheese, blends batters, shreds coconut, grinds coffee beans, liquefies soups, and crushes ice. For precise work there's a pulse button, and the "grate" button also functions as an "easy-clean" control for quickly cleansing the 5 cup, scratch-resistant glass container with soap and water during multibatch work with the same food." Aslo available is a milkshake blade. The milkshake blade adds 35% more air for thicker, frothier shakes. Hard candy, nuts and other hard foods should not be added to shakes when using this blade as they can cause damage to the blade and cause it not to work properly.

This wonderful addition to my kitchen has made our families lives more enjoyable during the summer. I found myself using my Oster 6642 Cube Work Top Blender several times a day for almost three months. It has held up better than I could have wished.
