Question 1

are the blades stainless steel?

Accepted Answer

Yes the actual blades are stainless steal but they are permanately attached to the plastic piece that screws onto the sports bottle that blends.You can't take those blades apart like the traditional osterizer/oster blades.I don't recomend this unit if you intend to make baby-food because it leaves bigger pieces of veggies it doesn't produce a creamy smoothies.oh and this unit doesn't have an on/off switch.there is a slot in unit/motor portion that the plastic outer portion of the blades/cover activates the on/off action when you push down and simultaneously slightly turn the bottle while in unit.also the blade that comes with sports bottle is too small to be interchanged with the traditional oster full-size blender blades with separate base.Hope I was helpful

Question 2

can i put ice in my blender?

Accepted Answer

Yes but keep in mind the size of the motor.  That said, I only use crushed ice and even then I sit it outside the refrigerator for 3-5 minutes to soften the ice.  Enjoy!

Question 3

Can it pulse?

Accepted Answer

In a sense, yes.  Turning the cup left and right acts as the on off switch, so doing this quickly would be much like a pulse.

Question 4

How does this thing handle veggies? Like broccoli, kale, tomatoes, carrots etc..?

Accepted Answer

I use this thing all the time and have since I got my first  blender in 2013.  I put some ice in the bottom, liquid then the shake/powder mix, fresh greens/spinach about a small handful add another ice cube or two and some more liquid.    Shake a little bit before blending and have zero issues with the items being blended.

It’s not a full size blender, if you are wanting to mix a fruit/veggie cocktail then use a regular blender. This thing mixes protein powders/greens just fine as long as you don’t try to put cups of veggies and fruit in. This should be common sense.  A few is fine but to put in a garden and you’re going to chew.
