Oster Classic Series 16 Speed Blender with Food Chopper and Glass Jar 6878000N01

This blender does not have pre-programmed settings for tasks like smoothies or ice crushing. Users must manually adjust the speed and duration to achieve the desired consistency. This may require some experimentation, especially for beginners.

The pulse function provides short bursts of power for precise control over blending consistency. This is useful for chopping vegetables, grinding nuts, or achieving desired textures in sauces. It prevents over-processing and allows for customized blending.

This blender does not offer a self-cleaning function. Users must manually clean the jar, blades, and other components after each use. While dishwasher-safe parts simplify the process, it still requires some effort to maintain hygiene.

This blender does not have an overheat protection function. Therefore, it is important to avoid prolonged blending sessions that could potentially damage the motor. Monitor the blender during use and allow it to cool down if it starts to overheat.

Components like the blending jar and blades are dishwasher safe, simplifying cleaning and saving time. This ensures thorough sanitation and hygiene after each use. However, it's always a good idea to occasionally hand wash the parts for a more thorough cleaning.

This blender does not have a safety lock function to prevent operation unless the jar is properly attached. Users should take extra care to ensure the jar is securely in place before blending to avoid spills or injuries. Always double-check the assembly before starting the blender.
