I have to admit I bought it for the looks, but the Oster name hasbeen around forever. How could I go wrong. For three years, and about 5-8 actual uses, it worked fine.That all ended tonight, and I didn't even use it. I pulled it off the countertop so I could clean behind it, and there was a five by two inch puddle of thick molasses like oil on my counter.I should mention this is quartz so I'm okay. But, someone with a granite counter would most likely be in bad shape. Funny thing too, this is the only blender I've ever seen that has leaked like this. I pulled the bottle off, and there was a nice pool around the drive cam as well. Awesome! I expected more for my $50.
