Oster Pro 1200 Blender Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Hi Guys, today I’m reviewing the Oster Pro 1200 Blender. LINK to Oster Pro 1200: amzn.to/2z9Zky0 It measures 14.25 inches tall, 7.25 inches wide and 8 inches deep. The cord length is 30 inches. It looks sleek in brushed nickel.
The jar is glass and holds 6 cups or 1.25 liters. The jar lid has a cap which also serves as a 2 ounce measuring cup. The stainless steel blade is supposed to move forwards and in reverse for even blending. We’ll test that out in a minute. The blade is 50% larger than Oster’s previous models. So this should be an improved average priced Oster blender. The All metal drive is generally more durable than plastic drives. Oster offers a 10 year warranty on the all metal drive. A 24 ounce blender cup and lid are included with this unit. This same model is available with a food processor attachment for about $30 more.
The base has an on/off button, stop button and Pulse which is best to crush ice and chop food. Select speed from low, medium or high. And the 3 pre-programmed settings smoothies, food chop and milkshakes. After a cycle is finished, the unit will automatically turn off.
When you first get the unit, wash the removable parts in warm soapy water and dry.
To put the unit together, place the sealing ring over the blade and put inside the jar bottom. The bottom is threaded so make sure to turn it correctly. Place the jar in and turn the bottom clockwise to tighten. Place the jar straight down. The cap goes into the lid. The lid seems to sit snugly.
Liquids go in the jar first. Let’s try a green smoothie. 1 cup ice, ½ cup water, 1 banana, 1 cup chard, 1 cup of yogurt and apple pieces with skin on.
Always put your hand on the cover while using the blender. Press the power button and the light will blink so you can start using the blender. We’ll use high speed.
If you don’t use the blender for several minutes, it’ll turn off automatically.
You can blend hot liquids, just make sure you take the filler cap off and start on a low speed. Don’t fill hot liquid over the 4 cup or 1 Liter level. Press the off button, lift the jar straight up.
Let’s try using the smoothie cup. Pour in 1 cup milk, ½ cup blueberries, frozen banana cut up and tsp of honey. I always keep overripe bananas in the freezer, there’s no waste and they are perfect for smoothies. Remove the blade assembly from the jar and screw it on the cup. Don’t blend hot liquids in this cup. Put the cup straight down. Hold the cup while blending. I’ll try smoothie setting. Of course the blender is loud like most blenders.
To clean, turn the blender off and unplug. The jar is dishwasher safe. Turn the bottom counterclockwise to remove. The jar lid, filler cap and blade are top rack dishwasher safe. The sealing ring should be put in the bottom basket of your dishwasher. Of course you can hand wash everything in warm soapy water. The base can be wiped down with a damp cloth and dried.
This Oster did a good job on both smoothies and is a decent value at this affordable price. I hope you found this review helpful. Please subscribe for reviews of products you use every day before you buy. I’ll see you next time. Thanks for watching :)
have 2 favorite products purchased by amazon this year. This product is one of them, it is amazing. By far the best blender I have ever owned. It crushes Ice for my smoothie and it has a pulse button for when I want to shred foods not mush them, probably because It has a wider blender mouth and larger blade surface contact
It does not leak, and clean up is easy- add a drop of soap to hot water and run through as a blender then rinse.
I was using a bullet until I purchased this item.
I use it 3 times a day for food for a family member who has not teeth and 2 times a day for smoothies.
I hesitated buying this because many people said it leaked, but not if put together properly ( see photos below). I am so glad I bought this.
I've had my Osyer Pro 1200 2-3 years. It came with food processor accessories. Both the blender and food processor are durable and simple to use. As with any appliance it's good to always be mindful and pay attention when using one.
I read in the owner manual that when making something in the blender, that to firstly put in liquids, and then small soft items and lastly large pieces. Ice, if used , should be put in the blender last of all.
Thank you! Just unboxed mine and had a few questions. Found your vid and I'm in the road to making protein shakes! Thanks again
You're welcome 😀
If I were to purchase the Oster 1200 Blender it would be to make smoothies mainly. I thought it did a good job and was moderately quiet compared to other blenders, a factor which is important to me.
Teresa Keough thanks for that info. Needed an affordable blender that can do frozen fruits smoothies and no water because I feel it ruins the taste
This is a great blender! Unfortunately, I broke the jar for mine and the replacement jar is impossible to find. I am quite willing to pay - I didn't expect it would be covered by the warranty. All the available jars fit older models. I've been on the phone with the Oster retail partner closest to me, and they were rude and unhelpful. The person I contacted online advised me to call Oster customer service, customer service is just a message directing me back to the web site. My web contact simply stopped communicating with me when he couldn't help me. Worst customer service I've ever had anywhere! So...it works great, and as long as nothing goes wrong you are fine. If something goes wrong, you are on your own.
Hi! I am seeing a number of similar comments about the difficulty in sourcing a replacement jar for the Oster Pro 1200 Blender. Were you able to purchase one since then?
Due to ewaste customers deserve hate on phone. Buy a new one and don’t break it like last time!
THANK YOU!!!! I just purchased this blender specifically FOR the smoothie cup, and I could not figure out how to work the cup feature!! I didn't want to break anything, so I wasn't as tough as I could have been, but the bottom of my blender will NOT come off. Thing is like, welded shut!! lol Anyway, thank you SO much for providing this tutorial. I know what I need to do now. XOXO
😀👍
@@bestkitchenreviews I cannot get the blender top off the 24 oz. smoothie cup !! Help !! What is the piece that kind of sticks out to the side like an arm ? I don't want to break anything by lifting that. Is that arm supposed to release pressure ? Thanks ! Okay, found the answer, was about to give up on it here's the answer - How do you unscrew a stuck blender?
You need to unplug the blender (so it won't run while you try and unscrew it). Screw the plastic bottle into the blade assembly (to the right), but not too tight. Then, push down firmly on the bottle, and twist the plastic bottle to the left. It should unhook from the base.
Just in case it gets welded shut again like mine did tonight and i'm depending on the thing because of a gum abscess to be able to eat - How do you unscrew a stuck blender?

Super good blender. You showed it very well. I would place the glass carafe upside down and apply the gasket to the carafe, then the blade, then the collar. Safer.
That's a very good tip about putting the blender jar upside down and assembling the gasket seal and blade assembly that way.
I am so glad I stumbled across your video because I'm looking for a better blender that will not leave little bits of apple skin in my smoothie and it didn't look like that happened with yours. I currently have a cheaper less powerful Oster blender but it leaves bits of apple skin in my smoothie which I don't like.
Glad it was helpful 😀
Pro tip, put your liquids in *after* the solids when making smoothies. Unless you're dealing with something that will stick to the bottom, you're going to benefit from a lack of splash-back.
I like thick smoothies that are not watered down so I don't put at liquids in. But I also don't put in anything too hard like ice.
Just fresh pinapple and other fruits and frozen blueberries. It should be able to handle those things easily especially atthsi price but it doesn't! This thing is a pice of garbage!!
I was so disappointed. 130 bucks and it can't even cut through frozen blueberries and fresh pinapple with me constantly having to open it up and mix it. I had to mix it at least 10 times!!!!! After 130 bucks!???? It should cut through rocks at that price!!
I used to have a Oster Blender that was half the price and it cut through twice as good. Smh.
You’ll have to spend $500 and use plastic if you want to use a blender with bare frozen solid ingredients and without any liquid whatsoever. At the minimum you should be adding some water. This isn’t just me saying it, it’s common and universal knowledge pretty much applicable to all affordable blenders on the market.
I think you should put the solids in first, fill liquid to just below the top of the solids. Blending a thicker smoothie will do a better job of chopping all ingredients. I like your very clear and precise manner of speaking.
Nice review! We bought and loved it! Good quality and the right price!!! Thank you!!!
👍
Thx for the nice thorough review. It's been almost 6 years since you made this video. Are you still using this blender? How has it held up? Have you had to replace any parts?
I just bought one of these so this video was very helpful. Will be making my first smoothie tonight for supper. Thanks.
+PurplePixieEater You’re welcome, glad the video was helpful! Please subscribe if you haven’t already 😀
How is it going?
@@samerinaa I love it! Been using it for smoothies for two years now. Recently started using it for fine dicing of veggies with the food processor attachment and it does a great job. Tonight I'll be attempting my first slicing of carrots with the appropriate food processor top blade attachement. Best $40 I ever spent.
Thanks for your honest review. Excellent.
Glad it was helpful!
I paid $22 at Target for this blender a couple days ago and I like it better than my Ninja Foody. The oster blends sauces better than the ninja foodi without leaving any small pieces of food without blend.
$22?! For this $90 blender! Wow.. but how?
Nice
the entire point of the black lock lever on the side, is to make it to where you don’t need to hold the jar/cup while blending. 2:58
Oster blender really do work I just went out yesterday and brought me one
Is it still working well?
^^^^^
I'd love to know how this blender works on a recipe with *all* frozen ingredients, as in, making banana nice cream or a smoothie bowl that you want to stay thick and frozen so one could eat it with a spoon as opposed to drinking it. I'm trying to avoid spending the money on a Blendtec or Vitamix but I know those are guaranteed powerhouses, esp. on frozen ingredients!
Hi Jennifer, I had a feeling someone would ask me that! I'll try it out and let you know 😀
That would be so awesome! Thank you!
Hi Jennifer, I processed 2 cups of frozen strawberry chunks in the blender with 1/4 cup of water, pulsed a few times and used medium speed. After about a minute of processing, the consistency was smooth like a sorbet, but a bit thinner. That mixture could be frozen for a little while so it becomes more solid. You'll have to alternate between pulsing and using medium speed. Hope that helps :)
Hi ,Do you ever try using ball/ Mason jars with this blender does it work?
Jennifer S
Very useful and well done review. Thanks!
👍🤩
Thanks for the video and review.
👍😀
I've been wanting a new blender n got this yesterday as a gift! So excited to use. Thank you for this video
You're welcome, Enjoy :)
update on the blender?
I love it!! So happy I have it.
Ohhh !!!thank you 🙏🏼!!!
I assume that the 24 ounce blender cup is glass. However it looks like plastic. Thumbs up on your written information.
Her directions are very helpful, a d t
You just ran the blender on high for a minute to make your smoothie and said there were a couple little chunks left in the end. Wouldn’t using the smoothie setting have given you a more perfect end product?
Hello! Thanks for all your videos - they're very clear and informative. I have watched a lot of your videos on food processors. I then stumbled across this smoothie maker that has the food processor attachment. Have you tried the attachment and if yes, what do you think? Thanks :)
Young lady, I do not know if you are INTENTIONALLY working on taming down your 'Up-Speak', but if you are, you are doing a WONDERFUL job at it. Almost there, sweetie. - ;-)
Seriously, I realize NO ONE appreciates having their negatives pointed out, but you will be AMAZED with how many of US really do appreciate your working on diminishing it. So, from all of us to YOU who does such a FANTASTIC job helping us to spend our money wisely - THANK YOU SO MUCH! And you just keep-on-keeping-on with what you are doing.
What is up speak?
Thank you.
Can I put ice on plastic container?
Thank you for your video! It helped me with my new Christmas blender! 🌺
😀👍
Very good presentation of review video
Thanks 🙏
Thanks, great job on the review!
Glad you liked the review :)
Thank you so much. Now I don't have to call Oster Back. I was putting the rubber ring in Wrong. Thanks
Glad it was helpful 😀👍
Is this model compatible with wide-mouth (not regular) mason jars?
Thanks this really helps
😀👍
I recently picked up a practically brand new one for $10 lol. Apparently, it was a movie prop.
Thank u
Welcome :)
Hello mam ur video is very good whether this blender can be used to make dosa batter ?? Like can we grind boiled rice in it ?? To make dosas and idli ??
Thanks! Yes, you can grind lentils/rice for batter 😀
@@bestkitchenreviews oo osm mam how will it come good for dosas?
great video. thank you
You’re welcome 😀
Looks pretty good, i just ordered the Oster blender which is the equivalent here in Mexico ,today in the morning for almost $95 dlls.
Is it good for making peanut butter?
I haven’t tried but you should be able to with some stopping and stirring 😁
De q sirve que tenga apagado automatico si tienes q estar ahi para sostener el vaso?
I love your sense of humour Anita, when you said about the veggie smoothie. I hope it tastes good, cos I have to drink this . You tortured yourself there Anita (almost) LOL :P :D :-)
. It looked quite nice with the apple & banana in it, plus the milk.So glad there wasn't any Kale, as that would just have been disgusting.Good job that you like veggies & Kale Anita LOL :P :D
😀
Anita, how do you make your homemade yogurt ?.That smoothie before the veggie drink looked delicious & I love the fact it leaves the seeds on the bottom of the jug.
Please please, invert the carafe and remove parts more safely. While carafe inverted add the gasket, then the blade, then the collar.
Can't wait to see your video where you do it your way.
Hi, do you think this blender is powerful enough to make my own peanut butter at home? Thank you
Im having the same question
THANKS Q: is it better for blender and smoothness to go PULSE - GREEN (top left button) and then LOW? I feel like Im working the blender too hard with HIGH.love this
...............................
Loose the bullet this gets it done faster finer and you don't have to babysit holding it down
👌
How good is crushing ice?
I just purchased a newer version of the same model, except now comes with a Tritan jar.
I chose Oster because it's affordable, has an all metal drive, and not made in China.
On it's first use I made a milkshake. It has the programmed milkshake button that takes the guesswork out of it.
It threw me that during the blending the motor seems to stop and start and almost sounds like a grinding sound. Is this normal?
I just purchased this today I’ll be trying it out soon and hopefully I can help you out with your answer
Thanks for the great video! I have an older Oster model with a larger blender jar. Do you know if other blender jars are compatible with this blender, or just the one that comess with it? Thanks.
This blender can be used with the Oster Pro 6-cup glass jar. I don’t think any other jars are compatible. Glad you liked the review 😀
NO THEY ARE NOT!
You may check our channel for more information
excellent review, thanks
👍😀
Re., Oster Pro 1200 Plus food processor: Can this be used to make small serving of hollendaise sauce via slowly adding melted butter, etc., while blending 2 or 3 egg yokes, for eggs benedict? And would the blender actually be the better of the two items for that - or the food processsor? Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Total newbie here, LOL :)
Hi, an immersion blender is best for small amounts of hollandaise but you can do it in either a blender or food processor 😁
@@bestkitchenreviews Thank you
with ice how does it come out? I mean, if you grind the ice well?
What is the Model# on this I have one and can not locate my model# it is not on product???
Can you do a review on the oster texture select blender
Thank you
Does this do grains? I have a lot of 5 lb buckets of different grains that I would like to blend down and make breads.
No, it’s not for dry goods. Here is a recommended mill for grains: amzn.to/3tY8SYQ
Thanks!
You were awesome. Most thorough. I have one question: What is the "lip" for at the base of the blender?
Thanks! It's where the sealing ring goes :)
Dear how wide is the base of the glass jar?
Thanks for letting us know what the differences are between this and normal Oster blenders! Pretty horrible that htey switched blender bases out like that. People need to be able to use new bases and blenders interchangeably without throwing out old but still good items. Too bad Oster is greedy and not letting people do that anymore. Pretty horrible of them.
Will it blend cashews nuts with a little water to a cream sauce?
Yes 😁
Hi. . Can I made pure in that blender?
Please review vavva blender thank you
Best not tell anyone that you love & adore Kale, Anita........................... NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT lol :P :D
😂
The smoothie cup looks plastic
The smoothie cup is plastic, the large blender pitcher is glass
contact oster company for the jar look manual for number
I bought 3 blender I am star singing one but always leak
If your visitor comes here, they are looking for glass - but yet you spend time on what is not wanted, the 24 ounce blender cup. What is that about?
Anita you didn't have your favourite Kale this time LOL :P :D
😂
@@bestkitchenreviews You know that you love it so much Anita...............................>NOT lol :p :D
Alguien de aquí por favor me diga si la base de la licuadora es metálica o plástica? Porque en el vídeo parece metal pero en Amazon la descripción dice plástico. No encuentro modo de traducir el vídeo al español 😭
plástico cromado
El motor es plastic pero trae defecto que no adjusts bien y sale el liquid pero es buen products lo malo siempre sale liquido
You know you love drinking your veggies anyway, especially Kale bestkitchenreviews LOL :P :D
😀
Good job you have a sense of humour Anita :D
this thing is now 90, a 50% increase in 5 years. don'tcha love inflation!
did u know where can i get a glass replacement, im searching but i dont found anything
Hi, I believe this jar fits: amzn.to/357SQAJ
That jar is too small. It is not compatible.
Hi Yuvi! Were you able to find replacement jar for your Oster Pro 1200 Blender?
4:50
Why do they torture you Anita, when you hate drinking veggies lol :D :p
😀
I guess your comment is funny though not so much to me. I have to ask though, why do you comment the same thing so many times, in one video, let alone maybe more than one?
OMG I have a 4 way toaster from oster, i don't buy oster any more.
THE GLASS JAR IS WAY TOO HEAVY AND FILLED WITH ANYTHING WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO HANDLE. THESE NEW BLENDERS WITH GLASS ARE AWFUL. WITH ME IT WOULD BE BROKEN AND DROPPED WITHIN A FEW USES.
They sell the same blender with the plastic jar. Glass does not make it awful, just not right for you. I much prefer the glass jar myself, but it is a matter of preference.
