Especially after the pancake batter test, designed to check for just this sort of thing, I had to scrape off large amounts of untouched mix at the end of each round.Ĭhunks of pancake batter accumulated on the sides and bottom. Without the ability to move food along on its own, small pieces would sometimes rest on a squared side, then act like a rock accumulating sediment in a slow-moving river. The squared shape simply doesn't let it create an effective cycle.īecause of that, even once you get the blender to process everything, you might still find chunks stuck to the sides or under the blades on the bottom. It won't be able to reach the top layer otherwise. Be prepared to stir or shake anything you want evenly mixed with this machine. Any thickness to the foods you're trying to blend will cause it to get stuck.

The squared jar works against this modern machine in every way. What I don't understand is why they mirrored the old version on the dial, but deviated from the classic rounded shape that gave the Osterizer its Beehive name.

Plus, since the Oster Beehive blender is only working with 600 watts, going less than full speed might not have been productive at all. Turning it on and pulsing is enough for most blending needs, the functionality stays simple, and the price stays down.

Here, I understand the impulse to call back to the original Osterizer, and the dial mirrors it exactly. The Beehive is simple, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is lacking the convenient presets offered by many other modern blenders such as puree or dice. I would have liked more speed options on the dial, though.
