Oster Pro 1200 Smoothie Blender with Glass Jar 24oz To-Go Cup Countertop Kitchen Blender with 7 Speeds 1200W

There is an old saying, "I Hate You Sometimes, But I Love You Always" One has to be married a few years to fully understand that statement. My wife makes smoothies for her breakfast on a daily basis. I previously purchased this same exact blender for her back in 2020. For some unknown reason, she feels this need to assist the blender, by attempting to stir the contents a little while the blender is running. As is not uncommon, she ignored my cautions. In doing so, she accidentally dropped a stainless steel spoon in the blender while it was running. After the explosive sound of incoming shrapnel subsided, we were left with a spoon and a blender that were totally destroyed. She liked this now deceased blender, better than any that she had used. Thus I set out to order her a replacement. Unfortunately, this model had been discontinued. I ordered it 3 times from Amazon and others, only to have them cancel the order because it was no longer unavailable. Fast forward a year later to November 2025, somehow, Amazon had them again. I immediately ordered one. My wife almost did a happy dance when it showed up. This blender just does a fabulous job. The blade configuration is exceptional. It also auto reverses will running. This back-and-forth feature, pulls the contents down in to the blades for better mixing. It also makes it unnecessary to stir it with a spoon while running. (smiling) The jar portion is heavy glass, making it more durable and easier to clean. It has a powerful motor and numerous settings for various applications. This machine is a winner. It does not disappoint. Also, being an Oster brand, one can easily find parts for it. Read more

This blender has plenty of power. I use it almost every day to make my morning smoothies. It does bog down a bit when I use too many frozen fruit pieces. But that is my operation error. As with any blender, the amount of liquid vs the amount of food to be blended must be correct. I love, love the glass blending jar. This is the main purpose of choosing this blender. I try to eliminate as much plastics from my life as I can. The blender also comes with a plastic travel smoothie cup that you can attach to the blending blade and blend your smoothie right in the cup. The travel cup has a travel lid with sip spout. I haven't used the plastic cup and most likely won't, but it would be useful if you do not have an aversion to plastics. This blender is a bit loud. It is very loud and ear splitting on high and part of the smoothy function. I use that speed briefly, but daily. I have been using this blender for over 5 months and it still works as good as the first time. I purchased this to replace my older Oster blender that could not keep up with all the frozen fruit. That blender, too, had a glass blending jar. I looked at some of the more popular brands but passed due to the plastic blending jar. I am happy with my purchase. Read more

Retired my Blendtec in favor of glass jar blending from now on. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to find a blender with a glass smoothie cup, so I crossed my fingers and hoped this Oster would accept either a regular mouth or a wide mouth Mason jar, but it doesn’t. Overall it’s a decent blender but it’s just as noisy as my Blendtec, and not as powerful. It balked at starting smoothly with frozen fruit against the blades, so I started loading the greens in first with the frozen fruit on top, and that yielded an acceptable protein smoothie. Had a VitaMix for years before the Blendtec, and both were superlative machines but with more evidence of micro and nanoplastics ending up inside us, the switch to glass blending jars seemed prudent. After a week of cleaning the big glass blending jar every morning after building my protein smoothie, I decided that the only way to make a smoothie in the same glass jar that you would drink it from was with an immersible blender. The Braun MQ5000 was what I ended up buying, and it does work with wide mouth Mason jars, but not with the regular mouth Mason jars. It blends frozen fruit, goji berries and greens with no issues, with the only downside being that it’s not as convenient as a smoothie cup on a blender with a dedicated smoothie button that you can walk away from as it cycles your drink and stops automatically at the end of the cycle. If the Oster came with a glass smoothie cup it would’ve been an easy five stars. Good luck finding your own non plastic smoothie cup solution. Read more
