I have been using Oster Classic Beehive blender Model 4096-009 for the past three years. The blender is very sleek and can be kept anywhere in the kitchen and adds to the beauty of my kitchen. After verifying all the brands and all the blender models available in the market I finally decided to buy this blender model which suited my budget and also I liked its design very much.

The blender has a 500 watt motor and two speeds one for smooth blending and the other pulse option for chopped food. The jar provided with the blender is a glass jar and it is dishwasher safe. The blades are made of stainless steel and it is very easy to remove and clean the blades.

I use it regularly for making frozen fruit smoothies, milk shakes, lassis and chopping vegetables. While making frozen fruit smoothies the best thing is that nothing sticks in the jar which usually happens with other blenders. However the most important thing I like about my blender is that it can crush ice in seconds which I was not able to do with my previous blender.

The main drawback of this blender is that it is very noisy and so I have to be very careful while using it when somebody is sleeping in the house. Since the jar is made of glass I have to handle it with care.

Till now I have not faced any problem with this blender and I use it daily. From my own experience I can say that Oster blender is the best blender and is one full time help in the kitchen which we can always depend on.

My son is very fond of chocolate banana smoothie and I use the blender to make chocolate banana smoothie for him regularly. Recipe for Chocolate Banana Smoothie Ingredients 1 ripe banana 1 cup milk 1 tbsp chocolate syrup ½ cup ice cubes Method In the blender add ripe banana, milk, chocolate syrup and ice cubes. Blend until smooth. Pour into a glass/ cup and serve. I also add half teaspoon honey while blending for making it more tasty.
