Oster Pro 500 Blender Reviews

I am not sure what feature the person was using who gave this a bad rating, regarding having to start and stop it again to blend a smoothie, but, there is a button specifically for smoothies that will pulse/ rotating back and forth to ensure everything is settled before starting to blend. I have never had to stop it to stir around the ingredients. Even when it is filled to the top with ice added. LOVE IT!

I loved this blender its so powerful

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 !!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

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!

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. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

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.
