Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster BPST02-B Professional Series Blender, Black
Customer Review: Fantastic blender
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife bought a cheap plastic blender from Target. I used it once and was so annoyed I made her take it back.
I then started to read about this Oster blender. I had good luck with buying small appliances from Amazon in the past, so I ordered it.
This blender is very well constructed: all metal motor, thick rubber feet, thick glass container. It has two settings: on/off and pulse. What else do you need? Simple and functional.
Just a warning: when you use this blender it sounds like a jet engine spooling up.
How does it work? Let's say I'm impressed, and that's not easy to do. I followed a recipe for potato pancakes provided in a little cookbook that came with the blender.
The instructions said to put a bunch of cubed raw potatoes in the blender with a whole onion. I thought, this blender is just going to spin or bog down, but it turned that stuff into batter very quickly.
Customer Review: Awesome Blender
Summary: 5 Stars
i can save the "paralysis by analysis" types a lot of time....i read every review on every blender on every site and ended up picking this one because it had reported reliability, power, a great to-go smoothie cup attachement that (2 cups size, sold sep), had a classic look and most importantly has replacement parts for future if I break the glass pitcher, etc. I considered more expensive competitors that were "yuppy"/foreign brands but with all due consideration - especially the unavailability of support/parts, I decided this was the way to go. I have had this blender several weeks now and use it every other day for protein shakes and i love it. the only tricky part is making sure attachment is sitting right on spicket (sp?) before turning on the switch. once you get the hang of that it is cakewalk. i also was afraid of only one speed but remember even with last retro 70's blender i had with 14 speeds i only used high and pulse so this is not a problem. good luck.Customer Review: Terrific Blender

For years I have been putting up with a poorly designed Kitchen Aid blender that always made a mess. I paid a lot of money for it too. After cleaning another mess the other day I decided to throw it out.
Thanks to all of you for your reviews. I decided to get this blender.
It's everything I wanted in a blender, fast, doesn't overflow, and, while it looks as tho it doesn't hold as much as my old blender, it DOES.
Instead of having chunks of berries left in the bottom, it blends them in with smoothies. It's fast too.
So, it's noisy. So what. It only takes seconds and I don't think you could have such a large motor and quiet. I'd rather have the horsepower.
I don't think you can go wrong buying this blender.
Almost 3 years later:
The Blender is still performing, even grinds small amounts of grain like flax seed, oatmeal. Best blender I've ever had.
Customer Review: Works well, some quirks.

I have been making a lot of smoothies lately and my last blender broke. I bought this after reading all of the positive reviews. As mentioned, it is LOUD, and powerful. It works well with ice, and I imagine it would crush just about anything. Sometimes it spins, so fast that it creates a little space around the blade, and then nothing else gets blended. You have to stop the blender and shake it, or smack the bottom. I have varied the order I add the ingredients in, but it still happens. As much money as I paid, I would like for it to work perfectly. It also seems to hold less than my previous blender. Other than that it works well and is powerful.
Update... I just bumped this to 5 stars from 4. I use it 3x daily now, it sounds like a jet engine when used in a confined space but it gets the job done. I found that if I add ice as the very last ingredient to a smoothie that it does a better job of mixing everything. I love this baby.
Customer Review: Finally, a great blender!

Like most... we've gone through our share of cheap blenders over the years. We were sick of our last blender just not doing the job, 12 speeds or not. After a bit of research on Amazon, and some great reviews, I ordered this fantastic blender.
It's very simple... but what do you really need? Both my wife and I make shakes daily, and we use a fair amount of ice... this blender destroys the ice FAST and make a nice thick shake in mere seconds. I've yet to hear it bog, slow down, etc anytime we've used it in any application.
Also, the base is very simple and clean, as is the attachment part of the glass. It is definitely less likely to get dirty (nasty is more like it) then our previous cheaper blenders.
The blender is a bit loud... but we are talking alot of power here! And you don't need it on near as long as cheaper blenders either.
I'd definately recommend this blender.
