Oster 6627 100-Watt Milkshake Drink Mixer, Chrome

This is the best Milkshake Mixer ever!!!! Having said that this is NOT a blender!!! It will NOT mix frozen fruit!!! If you are going to put fruit in your shake make sure it is soft. If you stick to making traditional milkshakes in this baby you can't go wrong. Enjoy

The Oster 6627 Chrome 100 Watt Drink Mixer is a powerful mixer as far as speed is conerned with its 2 speed level abilities. It is made of beautiful chrome and looks very sheek on my counter. The thing that I do not like about the mixer is that it does not mix the sides in the cup when its running. You have to be able to move the cup around to mix the contents in the cup, but with this unit you can not do that. The mixer has a safety mechnism that if you move the cup around it shuts off. If you want to mix the sides of the contents in the cup you need to take if off away from the mixer and stir it manually, because if you try to move the cup around while the mixer is running, it turns off. I think Oster should have a setting that lets you over-ride that if you wish because you don't get even mixing. It does a great job mixing where the blades are when the cup is in the exact place, but as far as mixing the sides, you have to manual stir, which defeats the purpose. If I had to do it again, I would honestly not get this mixer because of the above. I know Oster has safely in mind, but I don't like it when I want to move the cup or tilt to to mix and the mixer shuts off for saftey. If they want to keep that feature, they should have an option for ADULTS to over-ride that feature so they can get even mixing, without having to take the cup down and stir the sides to mix. If I wanted to stir manually, I would have stirred from the beginning. Not got a mixer dirty, then have to clean it even after I had to stir it anyway.

Bought this for my daughter who is a milkshake fiend. I like thick milkshakes and this seemed to be the best one I could find.
All in all I guess it's okay but there are a few issues I have with it.
1. The "safety" swith is idiotic. In order to keep the thing running you have to have the cup hooked under the safety tab so don't think about moving the cup up and down to mix the shake. I fixed it by duct taping the switch open but the "tab still causes the cup to hang up when your moving it up and down. A little more "re-engineering" is needed.
2. The blades are flat so there is no distortion to the ice cream/milk combo so the mix just spins around. Looks like I'll have to buy the optional blades to see if that'll help.

I prefer to use my high powered blender, but you can't convince a 14 year old girl whats right....

I bought this for my husband even though I am the head MilkShake maker. He likes to have a milkshake every sunday night as our family thing to do. This makes a very smooth and creamy shake and we are enjoying it. It's easy to clean up, it's easy to start and stop, and it makes the perfect amount for each person. We are enjoying the fun and the look of it as well. Like an ice cream shop!

I purchased this mixer for my 16 year old son who loves milkshakes. WOW!! He makes great shakes!! This product works really well and has a very nice design, no plastic parts, and is very heavy duty. We have had excellent success on making thick shakes, unlike other reviews and the clean up is not bad at all. We just put some soap and water in the cup, place it under the blades, turn on the mixer and in a few seconds you have clean blades. No problem ...it's a snap .. We truly love this machine and give it thumbs up all the way.
