I have a classic beehive blender and the original glass jar was dropped and shattered into what must have been thousands of pieces. I was thrilled to find this online and ordered it. However, the glass threads don't fit well into the jar base and it leaks. We could sort of use it, although it is awkward to fit the jar base and replacement glass jar together. However, the other day I noticed a crack at the top of the new glass jar. Sigh. I think I will have to purchase a new blender. I'm not sure why the so-called "replacement" glass jar doesn't fit the base, it's just a bit "off"...but it just doesn't! Disappointing purchase.

Item is not original Oster. Broke the third time we used it and Goodman's did not want to refund because it was more than 30 days after purchase.

Recently, while washing my original Oster jar (1987), it slipped out of my wet, soapy hands & the edge cracked when it hit the sink. A search on Amazon found this item. It's definitely a different shape (the picture on Amazon looks like my original; much straighter sides, very narrow base, clearly square top). What I received was shorter (by about 1/2") and flares much more rapidly from the base, making it fatter. It's also "basically" square at the top, but each side has a very slight indentation. Well, I just used it, and I love it! The broader shape definitely seems to allow a better mixing vortex. Made the kids a smoothie and was very pleased - much better blending. A couple of additional items beyond the shape: 1. My original bottom fit the new jar perfectly. 2. The description of this item very specifically said "THIS IS NOT A GENUINE OSTER PART." However, what I received was in an Oster box, and has Oster molded into the glass itself near the top, just like my original. 3. It came with a FLEXIBLE white top AND the insert. 4. The other thing that surprised me greatly was the word "BOROCLASS (R)" molded into the glass on the lower part of the handle (my original definitely didn't say that; I hadn't tossed it until I got this, and I looked all over it. To me, this is a very interesting plus. Boroclass is a trademarked name for borosilicate glass. This is what the original Pyrex was made of until the 1940's, when they started changing to soda-lime glass. If you Google Pyrex (with modifiers like "original" or "exploding"), you'll learn about this. While borosilicate is said to be a little less impact resistant than soda-lime (apparently, in addition to COST (soda-lime said to be cheaper, of course), a reason for the change in formulation), it's said to be much more thermally resistant (more tolerant (not impervious!) to temperature changes than is soda-lime glass; hence a major reason it's used in lab glassware. Well, though I'm not likely to take it from the oven and blend ice in it, I found this very interesting! All in all, very pleased. My concerns are that the picture isn't accurate to what I received (I've posted pictures of my old & new jars), and the description is inaccurate (mine is Oster, box & molded name). So I hope that you get what I did! Mine came from the supplier "SCS Collectibles," also apparently DBA "ToysNGamesEtc;" that may help, because several suppliers are listed.
