Reply to comment by GodOfManyFaces in Osterizer blender still going strong by kw00w

I appreciate your modern view. I'm not much of a blender user. Mostly an ice cruncher. In general I just appreciate these old models for powering through wooden spoons and spatulas throughout their tenon. There are better blenders but, for what they were made for in the time they were made, this blender will run forever.

I don't disagree that it will run forever. It will also smell like burning every time you use it (at least my parents did). The quality of the blend in the final product in an actual good blender is better to me than "it won't ever die". I can put toasted nuts in my smoothies and NOT have them be Grainy and gross. I can make nut flour, I can make oat flour. I can grind spices. I understand wanting something that will run forever. I personally prefer something that returns a better end product.

Well taken. My point is that it's an OG blender built to last. What was it good for? Margaritas and daiquiris.

A Shaken marg or daq is better than blended. By a mile. If that is all your blender is good for, throw it out.
