I see where there's an option of buying a separate "milkshake blade". Does that mean without this extra blade it won't do all it should?

It is a regular blender and I make smoothies with it. I have to say that the power isn't there. I had an OLD blender (30 years old). This does not compare to it at all. I would not buy this again. I guess you get what you pay for.

Milkshake blade?? There is a milkshake button on the blender. No need for an additional blade. Besides blade doesn't come out anyway.I have made many a milkshake, smoothie w/blender already. Hope that helps you...power to the milkshake!

It will make milkshakes just how it comes. The difference will probably be the difference in the amount of liquid you will need to use. I looked at the milk shake blade and it has two "rows" of blades so would probably be able to make a thicker "shake" ie using less liquid. It's a very good blender without the extra blade. I would only consider the extra blade if I were going to be doing extra thick shakes or smoothies on a regular basis. The blade looks like it could keep the really thick products moving vs adding more water. This is a very good all around blender. ps the extra chopper cup is plastic and a little thin but is large and works well for chopping nuts etc...a little care and no dropping and should be fine.

Gee, I haven't seen it on the market. Besides, the one with a longer handle comes from a different brand and has a butterfly opening at the top, so it does not comes apart when replacing a shaving blade. Yeah, it would be nice if one could have a choice of different handle sizes! Hope this was the answer you were looking for.

That seems like overkill. If you properly strop the blade several times on each side, that will do the job. You don't need anything moving at a higher speed.

It comes with one disposable blade that is sharp. I am having difficulties find more blades that fit it.

No, and it doesn't need one. This blade is already thicker than any wear strip I've ever seen. The addition of a wear strip would only add weight which I assure you, it does not need any more weight.

You need a 3 blade. This photo isn't the right one. Call Amazon. The 3 blade are also larger. And hey I love mine.

It does come with an extra blade, two actually, and they can be purchased separately.

I can't speak to the blade, but there's nothing that would keep me from putting the rest of the removable parts in a dishwasher. Were I to try it with the blade I'd be sure to dry it thoroughly and put a film of food-grade grease on it afterward.

I have this blade and the original blade that came with my kitchen aid mixer. I prefer this one over the other for keeping the sides of the bowl cleaner. But I still use both as I do a lot of baking.

Sorry, I don't know anything about that Oster blender. What I do know is the Milkshake blade fits regular Oster blenders that have a separate blade, gasket and glass or plastic container.

iv owned like 3, i use them in my deli i own in a truck stop. but all my old blades fit in the ones i boght from amazon. chances are if it looks like one of your old 1s blade levels might just fit like mine. seems to be the same Chinese stuff thats pumped out that they just slap a different brand on the same thing and call it good

I wold not consider it a specialty blade, it should be the standard issue since it is in my experience far more efficient at blending over the original. For awhile I was considering springing for an ultra expensive blender until I replaced the blade. It now grinds through ice and smoothies like nobody's business. And I'm just an ordinary user in no way connected with the company.

I wouldn't. It doesn't come with a dough blade for good reason, just pick up and feel the difference between this and just say a 7 cup Cuisinart, this one is less than half the weight. My guess is the motor/gearing is not up to that kind of long duration high stress work, if you have to do more than puree items, buy something more substantial.

In the description it does say you can attach other blades to it. So you can give it a try. If it doesn't fit you can return it.

Highly doubtful. You're probably better off buying new blades or a new blender.

This model has a milk frother, not sure why you would want to use a separate one.

The milkshake blade diameter is 2.5 inches. This is the same size as the standard blade.
