Overall Opinion: The Oster Pro 1200 blenders is one of the best blenders under $100 with strong power, quality metal driveshaft, and a good warranty. While the Oster 1200 can blend well, it will struggle with tough tasks like making nut butter. Consumer Reports tested the Oster Pro blender and said it was “very good in overall performance”. Customers really love the glass jar even though it is somewhat heavy. I like the 3 year warranty that Oster provides(vs most blenders in this price range are 1 year). The large 3.5 inch blade that gives the user more reach for better blending. Positives: Excellent blending power and I really like the extra 24oz personal-size smoothie cup so you can make large or small batches. The blender’s six-cup glass container is well built and tested to withstand thermal shock. The blender comes with a three warranty and a ten year warranty for the metal drive. The three pre-programmed functions are: food chop/salsa, milkshakes, and green/frozen smoothies. It has seven speed settings: 1) Green/frozen smoothies 2)Food chop/salsa 3)Milkshakes 4)low 5)medium 6)high, and 7)pulse. The Oster Pro 1200 comes with both a large 6-cup capacity blending pitcher and a separate 24oz smoothie cup. I reviewed the lesser priced Oster BRLY07-B below and the Oster Pro 1200 is a solid upgrade with a powerful 1200 watt motor(900 watts when you crush ice) and extra 24oz smoothie cup. Oster Pro 1200 Review – TOP PICK : Reliable and Blends Well These are the best budget blenders that perform well and provide good value for the money. KitchenAid KSB1570OB Review – Popular, “Classic” Blender Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender – Best Cheap Blender Nutribullet Combo ZNBF30400Z – Good Performance Ninja BL610 – Most popular blender under $100 Note: this guide is about finding a cheap countertop blender and does not discuss handheld blenders or personal blenders. I considered all of the criteria listed above when selecting the blenders below. This is especially important for entry-level blenders. We put a lot of weighting into brand reputation based on our experience with many blenders as there are a lot of no-name blender brands that don’t last. If you will be doing horsepower-intensive blending tasks like milling flour, hard nut butters, and pureeing raw vegetables then you will want to pay up for a blender that won’t burn out on you in the first six months. If you plan on making green smoothies with tougher ingredients like nuts, kale, or broccoli then it is worth getting a blender with the power to properly handle those ingredients. If you just want a blender to make milkshakes, simple smoothies and occasional frozen drinks then most blenders should be fine. Too many people burnout their blenders and keep buying cheap blenders over and over rather than just buying a good blender that will last for many years. If you are going to be using the blender daily then I would pay up a little more to get the next level blender because it will last longer. I only included blenders below that have decent motor strength for the price and capacity. This results in either burning out your motor or drinking smoothies with chunks in it. There are many inexpensive blender with large pitchers but they have motors that are not powerful enough to blend that much volume.
