The Oster Master Series Blender with Texture Select Settings is a budget-friendly full-size blender. It comes with a 48oz glass jar with a 2-part lid, along with a 24oz personal jar with a resealable to-go lid. Unlike the similar Oster Pro 1200, it has 'Texture Select' settings, which lets you select the thickness of the recipe you're blending.
Our Verdict
The Oster Master Series Blender is great for multi-purpose use. It does a good job of blending small or big batches of fibrous ingredients for recipes like smoothies and soups. Some blenders are easier to use for thicker recipes, but they can produce smooth, spreadable nut butter without too much work. It can also make snow-like crushed ice, although it can only handle six ice cubes at once, while many full-size blenders can crush 12.
- Makes a mostly smooth blend with fibrous ingredients.
- Makes small batches of snow-like ice.
- Easy to clean.
- Takes several minutes to blend fibrous ingredients.
The Oster Master Series Blender is very good for single-serve smoothies. It comes with a 24oz personal jar that's a good size for personal smoothies or shakes. While the automatic blending programs don't produce the best results, running the blender manually for a few minutes makes a mostly smooth blend with difficult ingredients. Unfortunately, the manual doesn't specify if this jar is dishwasher-safe.

- Makes small batches of snow-like ice.
- Easy to clean.
- Takes several minutes to blend fibrous ingredients.
- 'Smoothie' program doesn't produce the best results.
The Oster Master Series Blender is decent for multiple servings of smoothies. The 48oz jar is somewhat small for a full-size blender, but if you use its full capacity, it does a decent job of blending fibrous ingredients like kale or fruit. It makes a mostly smooth blend, but you have to blend manually for several minutes after the automatic smoothie program is over, and it helps to stop the blender and scrape the jar's walls a few times.

The Oster Master Series Blender is good for crushing ice. While it can only handle about six ice cubes at once, it makes snow-like crushed ice with its 'Pulse' mode with only a few chunks left over. However, some full-size blenders can process about twice as much ice at once, so it's not the best choice if you plan to make a lot of crushed ice for cocktails or blended drinks like slushies.
- Makes small batches of snow-like ice.
- Easy to clean.
- Limited capacity for ice crushing.
The Oster Master Series Blender is great for soups. You can use the 48oz glass jar to blend hot ingredients, although you have to remove the center piece of the lid to do so, unlike blenders like the KitchenAid K150. They also recommend not blending more than four cups (about 33oz) of hot liquid at once. However, it does a decent job of blending fibrous ingredients like broccoli and kale in soups.
- Makes a mostly smooth blend with fibrous ingredients.
- Easy to clean.
- Takes several minutes to blend fibrous ingredients.
- Limited capacity for hot blending.
The Oster Master Series Blender is good for professional use. It has a good build quality and a reasonably versatile performance. It can make small batches of snow-like crushed ice, spreadable nut butter, and mostly smooth blends with fibrous ingredients. However, it's not the fastest blender, and with thicker recipes, you have to stop the blender to stir and scrape the sides of the jar.

Popular Blender Comparisons
The Oster Master Series Blender is a budget-friendly blender with a glass jar. Like the Oster Pro 1200 and the Black+Decker Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar, it has a 48oz main jar and a 24oz personal jar. It has more options for automatic blending since you can choose between three thickness settings for smoothies. While it does a decent job with most recipes, it's not that powerful and takes a while to blend fibrous ingredients or thicker recipes like nut butter and hummus.

The Oster is sturdier and comes with a 24oz personal jar in addition to its 48oz main jar. It's much more versatile since it can handle tougher blending tasks like crushing ice or making nut butter. However, the Hamilton Beach makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients in recipes like smoothies and soups.
The Oster Pro 1200 and the Oster Master Series Blender with Texture Select Settings have a similar design since they both come with a 48oz main jar and a 24oz personal jar. The Pro 1200 has a better blending performance, especially when it comes to blending fibrous fruits and vegetables. However, the Master Series blender is much quieter when it's running.
The Oster Master Series Blender with Texture Select Settings is better than the Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Multi-Function for most purposes. The Oster is sturdier and more versatile since it does a much better job of tougher blending tasks like crushing ice and making nut butter. It also comes with a 24oz personal jar intended for single-serves. On the other hand, the Hamilton Beach can make a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients in less time.
The Black+Decker Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar and the Oster Master Series Blender with Texture Select Settings are similar blenders. Each comes with a 48oz glass jar and a 24oz personal jar. However, the Black+Decker makes a smoother blend with fibrous fruits and vegetables. It's also quieter. On the other hand, the Oster is better built because it uses metal gears on its jar and base.
