Customer Reviews for Oster Pro 500 48 oz. 7-Speed Brushed Nickel Blender

I just bought it I love the way its not to noisy like the older versions I like the up grade buttons and it works awesome I'm really happy so far

Bought less than a month ago. It does have some difficulty chopping up frozen fruit but I love the power it has to make smoothies.

I've had this for a few months and every time I try to make a smoothie I have to stop it and stir it with a spoon to get all the air pockets out so it will actually blend. The blade is far too small for any frozen fruit larger than a blueberry. I wouldn't invest in this if you're buying it for smoothies. Otherwise I'm sure it works fine for juices and such.

I bought this today to make milkshakes, smoothies and slushies. It's already hot and strawberries and raspberries are coming on like crazy. I found a quickie recipe online - 2/3 c. milk; 2 c. ice cream and a about 3/4 c. of fresh raspberries. On the smoothie setting, it came out perfect! No photos, because we drank them immediately. My only question is where can I find a bunch of recipes for this blender in one place. The hardest part was finding a recipe. I am not a cook. If this worked for me, it can work for anyone!

Great Product, Great Price,Great Staff. This product is just what I needed, to make my morning smoothies.

It is super easy to use and easy to clean

Although I can't speak to the longevity of this blender, my initial impression is very positive. It does everything I need it to do, appears to be very well made, and is easy to clean. I especially like the glass blending jar and the easy to use soft touch keys. No operator's manual was included, but the unit is intuitive, and is very simple to use. As a bonus, I have one less operator's manual to lose. So far, so good!

good i want to pay my bill

What a great product for juicing. Start this unit and it automatically runs and juices your items. We used one in Maui and desided to get one when we got home. Great for smoothies.

The best blender I've ever bought

I have an older Oster blender that was wearing out, so I bought this one (loved my old one). I love this blender's features (frozen drink option to make smoothies is the best), but the base has a cheep chrome-looking cover and it's TERRIBLY LOUD. I have to put ear plugs in when I use it for frozen drinks. My older one had a metal base that insulated the noise much better. It's ridiculously loud. I would not buy this again (even though it blends very well).

Used to replace an old broken blender. Great replacement. No problems. Good blender.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased last year. We make smoothies frequently. This blender has the power we need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So happy with the blender. It does what it says it does and does it well. Would I trade this for anything else - NEVER !!!!

Love this 'dual direction' blender for specific recipes.... ie; avocado citrus dressing, salsas, mixing dry spices. It fits regular sized mouth Mason / Ball jars so you can process and store all in the same container.

I have had this blender for about a year and use it everyday for my breakfast smoothie. The other morning the motor stopped about mid cycle and all lights went off.I contacted customer support and they made it right.I am giving 5 stars for both operation and ability to make a wonderful smoothie and the excellent customer support by the company.

Love it ...

A friend invited me to her houseboat for the weekend and I brought my blender to make margaritas. I decided to give it to her as a "thanks". Didn't realize how much I loved this blender until it was gone. You never know how good you have it till your blender is with someone else. I couldn't get out of bed the first week. Things had improved until I decided to make pesto...I am now in full heartbroken mode. I am buying a new one NOW!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this blender now since February - I make a fresh vegetable and fruit smoothie (or I call it a chunky as I prefer NOT perfectly smooth) every day - 48 oz of it -- sometimes more than once a day. Since I make more than one serving at a time, I break up the process. I have found that the trick is to put heavier items on the top, so I put 6 oz of water (or juice) in first, with chia seeds, shredded unsweetened coconut, and ground flax seeds, pineapple, 3 cups of spinach - blend or chop till desired thickness - then add raspberries, blueberries, banana, lots of baby cut carrots and then strawberries, As i said I prefer it chunky, so I do it a bit differently by using the "chop" button, which uses the reversing function. to the consistency I prefer. If you use the "smoothie" function you get the reversing action that then turns into a high-speed one-way action, giving you a very smooth product. I had forgotten where i bought this and have been looking for another one as a gift. Now I know. Love the glass jar.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this from Costco and so far so good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works better than expected. So easy, press on, select "Frozen Drink Smoothies", fill 1/3 with frozen fruit, 1/3 full almond milk or fat free milk, push the button and walk away. It will do everything and shut off in about two mins. Perfect Smoothie! I use it everyday.

One of the worst blenders out there. Couldn't even blend a smoothie correctly. It took me 20 minutes of turning it on and off, stirring the fruit and adding liquids for it to even START to look like a smoothie. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this blender if you plan to use it to blend anything thicker than water.
