Does anybody know *definitively* where this blender can be purchased??  CR gives it very high marks in all the categories I care about, but I have not been able to find it ANYWHERE - including the "where to buy" links on Oster's own website!

This is absolutely maddening!  Why bother rating something that, for all intents and purposes, doesn't exist?!

I agree!

I didn't see your post so I also added a post asking the exact same question.

Try Foodnetwork.com 

There were some Oster blenders on their website...not sure if it is the one you are looking for though.

anyone find this yet? no luck here...

Nope, no blender on the FoodNetwork site. Thanks for suggesting though.

Argh!  I've even emailed Oster customer service to ask if the model truly exists (beyond their website) and have gotten only the standard "we're really busy with emails and we'll get back to you when it's your turn" blah blah blah.  (Perhaps they would be less busy if consumers didn't have to ask questions about phantom products!)

My interest in this blender is just about eradicated... 

I am with you, I have looked everywhere to find that model...I finally gave up & purchased the #3 on the cr best buy & had a very hard time finding it.  I wondered what year these blenders were tested.  You all know how it is,,,, you find something you really love or works great & bam.....it is discontinued!!!  

Guess what folks? The Oster BVLB07-L is finally available for purchase on the Oster web site for $89.99. Here is the link if you wish to purchase:

As far as I can tell this mixer is no longer being made by Oster. I have looked for it for over 6 months.. there were a few around at that time but I missed all of them.. This website you sent us to says the item is not available.  Companies I have  tried to buy it from have told be it is no longer being made. I think it is time to move on.. and find another blender... By the way I ordered the Waring professional that was listed as being a good blender by CR. The first one fell apart within 2 wks of buying it.. returned for another one two 2wks ago and it just broke. It does a good job blending great smoothies but I think I am just to hard on them. I use frozen strawberries and maybe that is the problem.... good luck finding the right blender.

This Counerforms model is sold at Costco! For a very good value at $49.00. Picked one up a couple of weeks ago, and my smoothies and margaritas have never been better. Looking forward to making salsa for cinco de mayo.

Curious...which are the categories that you "care about?"

costco sells the Oster Counterforms. It's only $57.99 at Costco.com

 

The Sacramento-area Costco warehouse is currently offering the Oster Counterforms blender, model #BVCB07 (their item #374473) for $49.99.  While the adjacent Walmart Superstore has available the Oster Fusion blender, model #BRCY07 (their item #1591404) for $59.88 and a just introduced (store specific to Walmart) 700-watt Oster digital blender, model#BCSG18 (UPC# 0003426442599) for $44.88.  I called Oster customer service yesterday re the 700-watt digital unit and the response was that this is a Counterforms model unique to Walmart; but it lacks the reversible motor and 6-point star blade.

I bought this blender on ebay as a new in box item. 

HELLO & NO!
Oh my! I thought I was the only one out there with this problem. NO, I cannot find this model anywhere and I've done the footwork. I settled for two of their other makes which the second one was worst than the first. I'm returning it at WalMart tomorrow.
I'm not an idiot - I called the store on the first and they said it was in stock - wrong- and the second they listed it as in stock on their website.
This blender thing took up a lot of my time. What's up CS?? Where can we get this model for sure?
