I got one of these for $70cnd... Possibly the deal of the century. It was originally introduced as a "cheaper" alternative to the vitamix 5200, with a MSRP for $300usd. I think oster gave up on competing in that segment, since they cleared almost all of their >1000watt blenders.
People complained that after a few years of heavy use the gaskets along the base of the blades fail... but for whats basically $50usd, i'm fine as long as it lasts longer than 1 year.
