Comparison of two blenders - this one and one that costs about 1/5 as much
Okay, so here's the deal - all of us that have the "Customer review from the Amazon Vine(tm) Program" received this product for free in exchange for providing a review (we are allowed to say whatever we want however - reviews may be anywhere from one to five stars).
I mention this because I literally just bought a new blender before this one plopped into my life. In fact, I bought this one: Oster BVCB07-Z Counterforms 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender, Brushed Stainless/Black
So, if you're asking yourself whether this blender at 300 dollars is five times better than one that costs 60...hopefully I can help out.
First, opening the box: My boyfriend has a new friend he named "Majestic." He saw it when I first unwrapped it, promptly christened it, announced we could not possibly get rid of it no matter what, and stared at it with an expression of awe. Now he smiles every time he sees...
I'd buy this one over my Vitamix
I'll start by saying I've tested many blenders whose companies have made a lot of claims about being one of the superblenders. Often they just aren't close to my Vitamix in comparison. Well, this blender is the first one that I can say absolutely is comparable to the Vitamix and probably more favorable because it has a better price tag and more features. I absolutely love this machine. When I've made smoothies with other blenders, they just never could grab that perfect consistency that the Vitamix makes. This one does it just as well, and maybe even a little more quickly. It has the pulse feature and automatic options for smoothies, soups and dips. It has a large profile so be prepared to make some counter space for it. The pitcher is very large. I actually prefer the way it feels to the Vitamix too. I haven't owned it long enough to tell you about it's long term reliability, but I love everything else I've seen so far. And if I were in the market for one of these, I'd...
Not worth the price.
I was trying to get something that would make my protein shake/fruit smoothies as smooth as my old Vitamix without paying $500, I took a chance on this Oster since the reviews were all good. I hate to give it a not so good review but there are better options for less money. I was ultra-pleased with the Vitamix I used to have, the Oster feels as powerful and feels like it will last a long time but the main problem that I have with it is it leaves some fruit chunks in my smoothie when I use frozen fruit. My smoothie consists of 8 oz of water, 2 scoops of powder, 1 frozen banana and 4 frozen strawberries. There are still chunks of fruit that don't get blended all the way after about a minute. I previously also owned the top rated Kitchen Aid blender which only cost me $100, it blended the same smoothie without lumps but the gasket began leaking on me as other users reported. I also tried a friend's Nutribullet and it didn't do as good of a job as either the Vitamix or Kitchen Aid. I...
