Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster BPST02-B Professional Series Blender, Black
Customer Review: Fantastic blender - handles ice like a dream
Summary: 5 Stars
Great blender - we've had ours for about a week and have made numerous margaritas, pina colatas, frapachinos, fruit slushies - good stuff. I've never had a blender capable of handling crushing ice like this one - really the best blender I've ever had hands down. It handles both crushed ice from the store and the big ice cubes that come out of our freezer equally well. I think folks out here that are complaining about how it "can't handle" frozen fruit are probably going about it wrong - I've filled the thing up completely with ice and it ripped the snot out of it in a few seconds - no problems at all. But I always have some liquid in there (water, coffee, margarita mix, milk...) - zero issues.
Also note that you don't need to get the "ice crusher" blade that Amazon so helpfully suggests you can buy with the blender - it comes with the exact same blade. Good to have a spare around I guess in case I go nuts mixing gravel or something but it's not really necessary.
Customer Review: So far so good
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very happy with my blender; got it mostly for frozen drinks but also wanted to be able to use my Oster mini food processor attachment that I had from an Oster that burned up. Was a little hesitant to get another Oster but after looking into other options and some ridiculous prices I decided to get the Professional series one since it had a longer warranty than others in the price range and a stronger motor than my previous one. Works great, very simple to use without unnecessary buttons; frozen drinks come out nice and smooth without the smell of burning insulation I had with my previous one. If you have a refrigerator that dispenses crushed ice it's a good idea to use it as it makes for quicker and smoother margaritas. And as far as motor noise it is as you would expect for a blender, maybe a little less noise than my previous one- if you can't handle a few seconds of it , go ahead and spend a couple of hundred dollars trying to get a quieter one; all in all an excellent value.Customer Review: So, you need a blender?

Whether you are looking to create a winter wonderland of frozen snow for your next event or just really like to crush ice or other tiny things this blender is for you! I have used this blender for everything from smoothies to margaritas to crushing just ice, it does it all. The Oster solid metal drive train tears though anything you put in the way and does so handedly.
While it only has two blending settings I find that helpful and not as redundant as many other blenders. "Yes i would like my drink blended as fast as I can possibly have it, I am not concerned with the speed the blender wants to do it" If you are tired of dealing with second rate blenders that can hardly blend yogurt but you do not want to give an arm and a leg for a nice one this incredibly classy, professional blender Oster BPST02-B Professional Series Blender, Black is your best bet!
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.
