I’ve gotten years of great use out of my puppy blender–despite the fact that a hangover in our household is a rare event–but it’s finally given up the ghost (tried frappeing 2 long-haired miniature dachshunds at once). I’ve heard good things about this Oster. Any recommendations?
My wife and I splurged and got a Blendtec Total Blender. It kicks ass. Blends puppies in 20 seconds flat.
It is, however, frightfully expensive and not worth the money we paid.
I like my puppies malted.
VIOLENTKICOMARAMA: Indeed.
If you open a new checking account at Capital One, they’ll give you one for free. It’s only two speeds though: on, and off.
I checked Consumer Reports and Epinions…neither of them has a rating on this model. They rated the Oster Counterforms BVLBO7-L as the best of that brand, with the Braun PowerMax MX2050 as a Best Buy.
Screw puppy-blending.
The real state-of-the-art is Kitten Huffing.
I like Glenn Reynolds but I think he’s a smug pimp. So smug, in fact, that if he read this he wouldn’t give a shit.
Glenn is in the vanguard.
Ahem: Heh. Indeed.
Ummm, Glenn, if you’re still hanging around, sorry about that inadvertent photochop…that came early in my blogging life, when I didn’t know you from Glenn Greenwald.
Or from Bubba!
I have the Blendtec. Been using it for just over a year – shows 385 uses, as of margarita-o-thirty, today.
Expensive, but worth it. Serious, serious kick-ass blender. Possibly the last blender you’ll ever *need* to buy.
What other product has a viral ad campaign that has a goofy grinning guy who admonishes you, “Do not try this at home!”?
I’m sold!
You moron. The warning label on the side clearly states that there is a limit of ONE repeat ONE longhaired Mini Dachsunds. If you want to go two at a time, you must use Yorkies.
How, exactly, do you pimp a smug?
That sounds like Emily Dickinson.
Forget the $200 blender. Oster Fusion is fabulous. 600 watts. One-button blade-reversing program for ice crushing. 6-cup heavy glass jar. $60 at Costco. Can’t beat it. See review at http://www99.epinions.com/content_405962591876
I’ve had a VitaMix for 20+ years. Use it a couple times a week to make all fruit smoothies. It’ll liquify anything you put in it. Their latest top model was recently rated a Consumer Reports Best Buy.
I am partial to the Northern Tools party blender shown here:

4-stroke 23cc engine, handlebar grips, stainless steel pitcher and adjustable legs.
Who knows what large breed this could handle ?

It’s got Oster parts and all,
