I purchased an osterizer blender in May of 2003 and it burned on us by the end of Jully. It was only used at the most 20 times - I’m probably exagerating - but to give it some credit - it was used to crush ice each time. I used the blender on camping trips to make frozen drinks. We have only been camping 4 times since May.
I guess the osterizer isn’t heavy duty enough for that kind of job. I didn’t keep my receipt so I can’t return the blender and never dreamed I would have this problem. I’ve always thought the osterizer was the best blender you could get and the only other one I noticed was a GE brand.
So now i’m going on a search for a heavy duty blender - any ideas on a brand and model number would be appreciated.
