Oster 083422-040-000 Blender Gasket



Excellent replacement ring
Okay, it is what it is...a little rubber ring for my blender. I wanted to review it positively though because it was sent promptly at a good price and works perfectly :)

Just ok - useable, but I won't say I like it
I ordered this to replace a ring that was not placed correctly into the blender and so got chopped.

The ring I received did not look exactly like the one it replaced, nor the one in the photo. The outside diameter is slightly smaller, and the inside diameter is slightly larger. It may be slightly thinner as well. Yes, it does fit, and no, it does not leak. However, it is less rigid, and therefore, a bit trickier to get exactly in place to prevent leakage, so it takes a bit more time to get it right. More importantly, there is greater risk of it getting chopped like the one it is to be replace because it is easier to get it in not exactly right. Pfff.

Reducing the outside diameter, increasing the inside diameter, and making it thinner all have the result of slightly reducing the amount of rubber used to produce the ring. In other words, it is perhaps a penny or two cheaper to produce, and that matters in large scale. Accordingly, it is lower in quality. I...

Quality of the rubber is bad
I ordered four of these blender Gaskets. The quality of the rubber is substandard and easily torn. Also the width of the Gaskets is a little too wide compared to the original gasket that came along when I purchased the blender.
