GoBlendit Editor's Review

osterizer-14-speed-blender

Oster blenders come in a variety of different price ranges and styles, going from about $30 to over $70. You generally get what you pay for in terms of quality. At around $50 the Oster 14 speed blender is not the highest quality product you'll find on the market, but it does offer some good features.

You'll find a cool 14 speed setting dial along with a pulse function. The glass jar is very sturdy, and overall the blender just looks good. The brushed chrome finished, although plastic and not metal, looks sharp and matches most modern kitchen decors and new appliances.

In terms of quality, most of the reviews that we read vary to extremes in terms of how people feel about the Oster 14 speed. Some people really love it, saying that it can handle all of their blending tasks while others hate it, saying it breaks very easily and has a weak motor. So if you do buy this blender, just make sure you hold onto your receipt as Oster will cover most defects with a one year warranty.
