use my oster blender to make smoothies and just love it owned one for 5 years and still going strong

I think I paid about 24 dollars for this. I bought this last summer, it works really well. I use it mostly to make home made smoothies mostly around the summer time because of the hot weather and the drinks are refreshing. I bought this at Walmart to replace another blender I had. I actually like this blender better than my old one. A bit noisy but works really well. I bought the black one since they didn't have anymore of the blue colored ones, they also come in other colors as well.

What do you think, have you used it?
