Why it's buy-it-for-life
Redditors report units from the 1960s-70s still running daily for smoothies after being passed down through multiple family generations, with replacement blades and parts still purchasable to keep them going indefinitely.

Got the same one, you can still buy replacement pitchers, blades, gaskets etc and the blade base screws on a standard mason jar like a bullet blender
Behold, the Osterizer 847 from 1972! ... this old boi ... is IMMORTAL while still doing the job well enough for my needs. Most every part is still available second-hand even today.
Nicely done. That beast will never die!
Oster tends to be a good brand, even their modern offerings.
You can still buy parts for them too. I've replaced the blade once.
My folks still use there they got as a wedding present in the 60's
Pretty sure this will outlive all of us
