Descriptions of the oster bpst02 b tend to focus on its capabilities for making drinks like margaritas or smoothies, but did you know that you can also use it to chop up dried or dehydrated food, for instance? This handy blender can also help you cook when your recipes call for such food items.
A few reviews have claimed that the oster bpst02 B has a tendency to create air pockets because of the tremendous speed the blades achieve while spinning. When a certain user tried to blend small chunks of frozen fruit, the blender had to be stopped momentarily several times so the fruit chunks could be pushed down toward the blades. Once the food reaches the blades though, it gets blended completely.
This blender has ice crusher blades that are known to turn whole ice cubes to slush after just a few moments of blending. It is probably this particular capability that has made it a go-to appliance for people who want to make bartender-quality drinks.
The 1/2 horsepower motor that spins the blades of the Oster BPST02 B is the most powerful motor that Oster makes. An all-metal drive exclusively from Oster efficiently transfers power from the motor to the blades and makes operation of this appliance quite smooth. Because the Oster BPST02 B has the only all-metal drive in its category, it should outlast its competition. This blender’s metal construction makes it sturdy so that you will not have to worry that it might fall apart, especially if you happen to be prone to using your blender frequently.
You can easily control the two speeds of this blender with the commercial-size toggle switch on its base. The base, which has a black matte finish that will resist fingerprints, is die-cast and built for endurance. Attached to the bottom of the blender base are its large feet that keep it stable on top of a kitchen counter or bar.
The glass jar that comes with the Oster BPST02 B holds 5 cups or 40 ounces. Cleaning it is a breeze since it is dishwasher safe and scratch resistant, to boot. You can also take it apart to give it a full cleaning.
With all its pros, a notable con for the Oster BPST02 B is that it considered loud. It has the average noise level for any blender that is tough enough to take on frozen material and blend it successfully. However, since it works fast, there is no reason you will have to put up with blender noise for long periods.
