Professional All-The-Way
I read the reviews before purchasing and I'm glad I did because this a true professional blender, just like the bartenders use.
So far, I've made hurricanes, mai tais, pina coladas, and margaritas and the crowd was thrilled and so was I. The ice was perfectly crushed (I used bagged and also my countertop Haier HPIM35W Portable/countertop Ice Maker, which I recommend. I do not recommend using that half moon kind that my refrigerator makes, but that kind will do better if you let the ice sit out for 10-15 minutes to soften a bit.
Does what it states, but better than the rest with an all-metal drive and super sharp blades! Bravo, Oster!

excellent blender for smoothies, blending w ice, etc
Great blender for smoothies, Margaritas, etc. Seems very sturdy and relatively quiet. Good service from vendor as well. Plastic cap in the lid came with a slight crack. They sent me a new one right away.

Makes great smoothies
I looked at reviews of several other blenders before purchasing the Oster BPST02. It makes excellent smoothies. Making one or two servings is quick. The only problem we have had is mixing in additional ingredients to reach the blades when we make smoothies for 4-5 people. It has taken a little time to perfect our method but we have never had a bad or lumpy smoothy. Interestingly, our Oster Galaxie from the 1990s has the same base as this new one and the two are interchangable, but this new machine has a little more power.
