The Oster BPST02-B Professional Series blender is what is known as a stick blender. A bar blender is a commercial-grade blender that’s specifically for making frozen drinks without leaving chunks of ice behind, as well as making fresh fruit smoothies without getting stuck halfway or burning out the motor after a few drinks. Most of those who make fresh fruit smoothies know the burning smell a cheap non-commercial style blender gives off after a few smoothies.
There are a few reasons cheap blenders just can’t compete with a blender like this. I’m going to go into each one and also tell you why the Oster Professional Series blender is a better choice.
1.) Power… The main reason is that they just don’t have enough power to cut their way through your ingredients properly. The Oster Professional Series blender has ½ horsepower. It is one of the few blenders powerful enough to be measured in horsepower and not watts. You should have no problem making frozen drinks and smoothies without jamming or damaging the motor. This blender features the most powerful Oster motor available.
2.) Design… Many blenders have issues with ingredients getting stuck and you have to open it up, grab a spoon or other object, and push the ingredients into the blades. This blender doesn’t have that problem either thanks to its superior, patented beehive design that pushes ingredients toward the blades using centrifugal force.
3.) Quality… Has a die-cast base with a fingerprint resistant finish. Oster’s Professional Series Blender will outlast other blenders because it also features an all-metal drive system compared to the plastic components used by less reliable blenders.
4.) Price… Even at the list price of $169.99, this blender is a good deal, but you can often find it cheaper, which makes it an even better deal. For the price, it’s the best blender on the market bar none.
5.) Warranty… 1 year? No, not with this blender; proof with a three-year warranty. I told you it was built to last. The warranty proves it. Most blenders in this price range and some at even higher price points only come with a one-year warranty, while the Oster Professional Series blender comes with a 3-year warranty from Oster.
