Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster BPST02-B Professional Series Blender, Black
Customer Review: Overall great blender
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this blender after reading countless reviews on this and other blenders and this one came out on top consistently - and with good reason. I've had my blender for about 3 weeks and have been making frozen blended drinks and smoothies (everyday) with one or two batches of soup and salad dressing.
First, what works well are the blending blades, combined with high speed. I have no problem blending ice cubes so they are smooth. The instructions suggest adding liquid items first and then the ice, which I do and I haven't had a problem.
It's very easy to clean; as per the suggested instructions, after making smoothies I add warm water, a drop of dish detergent and blend it for a few seconds; rinse and you're finished. In between batches of different foods, i.e. smoothie/soup, I will wash the entire unit more thoroughly.
The 2 speeds (on/pulse) are perfect for everything the average person needs it for, personally I think any other blender that boasts 8-12 different speeds is simply an advertising gimick and completely unnecessary.
The unit is a great size and doesn't take much space on the counter. The base is narrow and comes in lots of great colors and finishes so you should find one that goes with the rest of your appliances.
For things that are left to be desired: the flimsy, plastic lid seems out of place on the rest of the well-manufactured unit. I don't like the middle plug on the lid. It's not very functional to add ingredients in mid-blend, nor would you want to. The unit blends at such high speeds I think it would be a mess if you attempted to open the plug.
And that brings me to my 2nd concern; it's great that it blends at such high speeds (without the high speed, it wouldn't do as great a job of crushing ice) but if the lid is not securely place and held on with your hand, it will spew the contents all over the place.
And the motor is loud but I can't fault the machine, it does such a good job of blending that it isn't on for very long.
Description of Oster BPST02-B Professional Series Blender, Black
The Beehive Professional Series Blender is the ultimate bar blender machine. It is a must have for those who enjoy entertaining and being king of the bar. The black matted fingerless print base finish helps give it that rugged but reformed classic Oster design. The signature base is equipped with an upgraded commercial size toggle switch that controls and the simplicity of 2 speeds. The 1/2 horsepower motor is the most powerful Oster available. The revolutionary ice crusher blade blends ingredients to perfect mixes every time. The new an improved over sized rubber feet, under the base, not only gives the blender that massive look, but keeps the blender motionless during cycles. Last, Oster will outlast any other blending competition with the only all metal drive system in its category.Blenders & Ice Crushers
