How reliable is an Oster blender?

Consumer Reports called the Oster Fusion BRLY07 blender "good overall," but it didn't make the site's list of the top four blenders. Consumers gave the Oster Counterforms blender an average of 4.2 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com.

Oster blenders are market-share leaders. Oster and Hamilton Beach together account for 40 percent of blender sales. Comments from consumers on the Consumer Reports website agree the Oster Fusion is powerful and easy to clean. One comment notes that the push-button controls break if they get wet. The Fusion is the flagship model of Oster's line and comes with a one-year warranty. Oster's products range from $20 to $100 in cost as of 2015.
