Has anyone used this for hot liquids?

No, but I had a very poor experience with the blender unit. It quit after a month of daily use.

I have not, only cold liquids for my smoothies. I'd recommend against it as the heated liquid may cause the seal in the blade assembly to fail over time. I have had my Oster for about 9 months and love it, but the seals sometimes fail on the blade assembly (I got a second one from the manufacturer) and they will leak a small amount of liquid through. I suspect using hot liquids will cause this even sooner.

I haven't done that but I think it can handle hot chocolate. It may be hard to clean the piece that dispenses liquid so I will stick with just water

Yes, I have. Always remember to heat milk slowly...I really love this product. Bought a second for my daughter!

I've used it for hot chocolate with milk and spiced cider. Works great! Just thoroughly clean it when you're finished.

I have their metal containers for hot beverages. I wouldn't use it for hot beverages for 2 reasons: First, if they don't melt the plastic, they wouldn't maintain their heat; and second, you'd probably burn your hand. I'm sure they are meant solely for non-hot liquid. Their metal containers keep liquids hot for more than an hour!

Yes you can put hot liquids in it. I use mine for home brewing and often use it for sparge water at 170°F

I've done it although it is made of hard plastic. I prefer to use it for cold drinks. If you want something for hot drinks, I recommend the Thermos vacuum insulated bottles.

I have used mine for hot drinks but mostly to make hot tea then add ice and although I usually hand wash them I have put in the dishwasher once in a while

I wouldn't recommend it. There's a warning label that states: "Not intended for use with hot liquids. Hot or warm liquids (and other ingredients such as soda, etc.) may cause pressure to build up within the bottle and cause the flip top to open unexpectedly and spray contents. Always open flip top with caution."

I do not know if you can use it for hot lquid because I only use use it for cold water. It is not insulated so the heat from hot liquid would be felt on the outside of the container.

Tina,Thanks for asking, a bit surprised you'd ask me as my review was a rather strange one to say the least. It says very plainly NOT to use with hot liquids, but also says 'dish washer safe '??? My dish washer gets pretty hot, especially if I use the dryer (which I usually don't) but have had no trouble with that. With that warning, I've never used one for coffee, but with a dozen of them and just 1 of me, I'll try it out. I see in other comments that they have been using them for coffee with no trouble. What the hell, take a chance. FINS UP! Robbie

I haven't personally used them for hot beverages, but if you're looking for an alternative to plastic, I know that glass mugs designed specifically for hot beverages are available. I'll brew a pot, and pour it in the glass and confirm whether or not it can withstand high temps. Great question.

I never did, but the fact that it locks liquids in probably would work. I Don't think I would use ice though.

I don't think so. First, it's very unsafe to shake and blend hot beverages - if spillage does occur, it'll splash everywhere and probably cause injury. Second, the directions that come with the bottle specifically say NOT to use with hot liquids.

I have used mine for that, it just takes a few minutes to get hot. This is a handy little melter and I have used mine for several different things.

I have been using it for hot chocolate since I bought it and have had no problems.

I have used it in both warm and cold liquids with success. I have had some problems with suspensions. Hope this helps.
