My Thoughts 


The OSTER® MYBLEND® PRO PERSONAL BLENDER is definitely a unique product that would make a great Father's Day gift for the foodie dad. There are a lot of features to love about it. First, it's compact, so it won't take up too much space on your counter. It's actually small enough to store inside cabinets or drawers when it's not in use.

 

When it comes to blending or even grinding, the OSTER® MYBLEND® PRO PERSONAL BLENDER  can handle just about anything you can throw in it. It's powerful enough to puree fruits or vegetables, but you can also use it to make a mean smoothie, even if you add nuts or granola. You can even use it to grind up your coffee beans or herbs.  Just fill up the container, stick it on the unit and twist. There are no on/off buttons or confusing instructions. One mode can crush, grind, or puree whatever you throw into it.

What I really love about this particular set, is that the container actually converts from the a blender to a travel mug by simply switching the caps.  This allows you to store your creations without the mess of transferring it from the blender to another cup.  And speaking of messes, they just aren't an issue at all with this mini blender. It never leaks when you're blending and once you're finished, you just need to rinse off the blades, stick it in the dishwasher, and you're good to go. It even comes with a few reusable straws for the travel mug!

 Whether you're making a yummy milkshake for your kids or you want to start eating healthier with delicious smoothies, the OSTER® MYBLEND® PRO PERSONAL BLENDER is the perfect way to get started.   Any dad who wants to eat healthy is going to love having his own personal blender.

Our Thoughts

This is one awesome blender! It honestly sounds like a plane is taking off when it's on the highest setting, it's really neat. There is a lot of space in this blender, I can't imagine filling this thing to the top with anything I'm making, it's really larger than it seems. I made a smoothie and thought I just made a little bit but it just kept coming out! A lot really hides down there where the blades are.

This is not an annoying blender that you have to twist on and off the base in order to turn it on. No more messes when you have a blender filled with liquids and it sloshes over when it twists off, it just easily sits on and you just as easily pull it off.

It works quite well, it will turn your ice cubes to mush in a matter of seconds, I know I'm not going to spend 15 minutes making a smoothie. That device it came with to push down the inside is so nifty, I don't necessarily have to stop the blender to get what comes to the top pushed back down, just make sure you turn it off if you're pushing it all the way down obviously.

Now the reason my last blender went bye-bye was it was a disaster to clean and I just gave up one day. Not with this one. Since you can make hot soups in it, why not  hot water. We pour hot water in the blender and turned it on and it shot up water all over the side and liquefied all the stuck on food! A simple soapy wipe down and rinse and it was clean.

There are different settings on the Oster Versa blender, one specifically for smoothies, soups, dips/spreads. I had no idea you could make dips or spreads in a blender and I love love love dips and spreads. The blender came with two recipes books for each setting (smoothies, soups, dips/spreads) and oh my word... so simple to make and they look amazing!

I am really loving this blender, it's definitely becoming one of my favorite kitchen accessories!

MSRP: $199.99; available at Wal-Mart, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Amazon.com
