Oster® VERSA® Performance Blender Review & Giveaway



From the number one brand in blending, the Oster® VERSA® Performance Blender is a commercially-inspired, high performance blender that delivers a healthy blend of power, precision, versatility and value. Offered at a fraction of the cost of comparable high performance “Vita-something” blenders, this affordable luxury can create hot soups, cold sorbets and creamy nut butters in minutes!  This rugged, durable, multi-tasking innovation features a massive 1,400-watt motor that spins its stainless steel blades at 28,000 RPM to deliver precise and professional results at the touch of a button. The 8-cup BPA-free Tritan plastic jar creates a forceful blending vortex that pushes ingredients off the walls of the jar and down into the blade. Ingenious design, massive power and extraordinary speed come together to deliver fresh, preservative-free homemade foods in minutes. An oversized control knob promises optimal customization to create an endless array of healthy homemade foods and beverages.  Protein drinks, green smoothies, dips, dressings, spreads, sauces and salsas are just the beginning. 


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

  54. I like the Tamper accessory because from previous experience, we use a spoon or a spatula to make sure that the shake we blend would be uniformly blended. Sometimes, the blade comes in contact with the spatula and this would sometimes destroy the spatula.

I would love to win this for her as she makes smoothies everyday and she could finally use a new blender. However, if I bought it for her she would make me return it. If I won it for her, she would use it. Love Oster!!!
