The Oster One-Touch is a budget full-sized blender with an 800-watt motor, a 48-ounce glass jar, and a four-blade stainless steel assembly. It includes three manual speed settings, a pulse function, and two auto programs for smoothies and salsa. All parts except the motor base are dishwasher-safe.
Our Verdict
The Oster One-Touch is a great multi-purpose blender. It handles everyday blending tasks well across the board, from smoothies and frozen drinks to nut butter and hot soups. It's simple to use and easy to clean. The only real downsides are that it doesn't feel particularly well-built, and it can be quite noisy while you use it.
Quickly crushes ice into a fine, snow-like texture.

Easy to clean.
Some parts feel fragile.
Somewhat small jar for a full-sized blender.
The Oster One-Touch is great for making single-serving smoothies. It handles tough ingredients like leafy greens and frozen fruit well, producing consistently smooth blends. The downsides are that it can be quite noisy, and the build quality isn't great, but neither significantly impacts the end result. On the plus side, cleanup is quick, with most parts going straight into the dishwasher.
Produces smooth results, even when dealing with trickier ingredients.
Quickly crushes ice into a fine, snow-like texture.
Easy to clean.
Some parts feel fragile.
The Oster One-Touch does a good job making large batches of smoothies, though it requires a little effort. You'll need to scrape down the sides throughout the process to make sure that the ingredients stay in contact with the blades. Build quality is mediocre, and the jar is on the smaller side for a full-size blender, which limits how much you can make in each batch. On the bright side, the jar is dishwasher-safe and easy to hand-wash.

The Oster One-Touch is good at crushing ice, creating fine, snow-like results quickly with just a few pulses. The jar is on the smaller side, though, so you'll want to work in small batches. It can feel somewhat cheaply built and won't inspire a lot of confidence as you blend, but it doesn't get in the way of actual performance.

The Oster One-Touch is great for making soups. It handles hot, cooked ingredients well and processes them into a smooth result without leaving chunks behind. The jar is on the smaller side, so larger batches will need to be done in stages, and the build quality is mediocre, but neither of these factors limits what the blender can actually do. It's easy to clean, either in the dishwasher or by hand. Just remember to remove the center cap from the lid before blending hot liquids so steam can vent safely.

The Oster One-Touch is a good blender to use in a professional setting like a restaurant or cafe. It handles ice crushing and hot blending well, and produces good results for smoothies and nut butter. On the downside, though, the jar capacity is on the smaller side for a full-sized blender, so you'll have to work in multiple batches if you're blending for a crowd. The build quality isn't particularly impressive and may not withstand heavy daily use. The motor runs very hot during long blends, which could become a problem with heavy use. Luckily, the jar is dishwasher-safe and easy to clean by hand.

Popular Blender Comparisons
The Oster One-Touch sits at the budget end of the full-size blender market, and it will appeal to buyers who prefer glass over plastic. Glass won't scratch, cloud, or pick up odors the way plastic does over time, but it's heavier and more prone to shattering if something goes wrong, which is why most high-performance blenders stick to plastic. For everyday tasks like smoothies, frozen drinks, and basic soups, the One-Touch holds its own, but even when compared to other budget glass-jar blenders like the Black+Decker Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar, it's not a top performer. If glass isn't a priority, the Chefman Obliterator is a stronger all-around blender at a similar price. If your budget stretches further, blenders like the KitchenAid K150 deliver noticeably better performance across the board.

The Oster One-Touch and the Ninja Foodi Cold & Hot Blender are both full-size blenders with glass jars, but serve different needs. The Ninja is a more capable machine overall, with a larger jar, better build quality, and stronger performance across most blending tasks. Its built-in heating element also lets it cook ingredients directly in the jar, making it a better fit for soups and hot recipes. The Oster keeps things simpler: it's easier to clean since all parts except the base are dishwasher-safe, while the Ninja's non-removable blades and heating element mean everything has to be cleaned by hand.
The Oster One-Touch and the Black+Decker Quiet Blender with Cyclone Glass Jar are both budget-friendly blenders with glass jars, but they have different strengths. The Black+Decker produces smoother results with fibrous ingredients and (like its name suggests) is noticeably quieter. It also comes with a personal jar for single-serve blending, which the One-Touch doesn't include. On the other hand, the One-Touch is much better at crushing ice and handles hot blending more reliably, since its center cap is designed to vent steam rather than requiring you to blend with the lid partially open.
The Oster One-Touch and the Oster Master Series Blender with Texture Select Settings are both blenders with dishwasher-safe glass jars, but there are a few meaningful differences between them. The Master Series has better build quality and comes with an additional personal jar for single-serve blending, along with more auto programs and texture thickness settings that give you more control over the end result. The One-Touch, on the other hand, does a better job of crushing ice and produces slightly better smoothie results, whether you're making small or large batches.
The Oster One-Touch and the Chefman Obliterator are both full-sized, budget blenders, but the Chefman outperforms the One-Touch across most tasks, including smoothies, ice crushing, and soups, and it has a stronger build quality. It also offers you much more control over the blending speed, with a wide range of settings that let you fine-tune blending intensity in a way the One-Touch's three narrow speeds don't allow. The Oster's is really only a better choice if having a glass jar that resists scratching and clouding is a priority for you.
Test Results
The Oster One-Touch is relatively compact for a full-size blender, so you can easily store it on your countertop or in a cupboard.
The Oster One-Touch is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to build quality. On the one hand, the glass pitcher won't scratch, stain, or absorb odors over time, unlike plastic jars, and the all-metal blade assembly feels sturdy.
That said, the motor base is made of thin, light plastic that feels noticeably cheap, and the rubber gasket between the blade assembly and jar feels like it could snap or break. The buttons on the front panel also feel unresponsive and occasionally require a second press in order to register.
Perhaps most importantly, attaching the jar to the base isn't an easy or intuitive process. You have to line up the knobs on the base with the corresponding bumps on the jar before lowering it into place. If you skip that step, it can shift around while it's in use.
The jar has a 48-ounce capacity, which is on the smaller side for a full-size blender.
This blender comes with a dishwasher-safe glass jar. The advantage is that it's less likely to scratch or discolor than plastic, but it's also more prone to breaking.
This blender uses a two-part lid that presses into place. It doesn't have a gasket to create a tight seal, so while it's easy to put on and remove, it doesn't feel secure.
This blender features a relatively short power cord, but it should still be long enough to reach an outlet.

The One-Touch does an excellent job of blending fibrous ingredients in small batches. Running on High creates a stable vortex that keeps everything moving on its own, and the resulting texture is very smooth, on par with what you'd expect from a much more high-end blender. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides once to catch anything that escapes the vortex, but it's a minor step.
The main trade-off is that the blender incorporates air into the ingredients quickly, leaving you with a noticeably foamy smoothie. Blending longer to chase down any remaining bits only makes the aeration worse, so the best approach is to stop as soon as the texture looks right.
The One-Touch does a great job of blending fibrous ingredients at full capacity, creating smooth results, though it takes a little effort. The jar's shorter profile means ingredients near the top don't get pulled back down to the blades on their own, so you'll need to stop and scrape at least once to keep things moving.
Another issue is that this blender introduces a lot of air into the ingredients, resulting in a foamy texture if you run it for too long.
The One-Touch is excellent at crushing ice. A few pulses on High is all it takes to get a fine, snow-like result in under a minute. For the best results, blend in smaller batches rather than filling the jar.
The only downside is that ice tends to pack tightly underneath the blade assembly and against the glass jar, making it difficult to scoop out cleanly.
The One-Touch does a good job of making nut butter, though it takes a little patience. The jar shape helps draw the blend toward the center on its own, so you won't need to stop and scrape much, but expect the full process to take up to seven minutes. The motor runs very hot by the end, so you should let everything cool down before tasting.
This blender is quite loud, so it may become irritating if you're sensitive to noise.
This blender isn't very powerful and has a limited range of blade speeds, so it's not particularly versatile. Oster advertises it as having an 800W motor, but the blender's actual power draw peaks at around 390W in real-world use.
The One-Touch has three manual speed settings and a pulse function, which runs at the same speed as High. It also has two automatic blending programs: Smoothie and Salsa. It can blend hot liquids, but you'll need to remove the center cap from the lid to allow steam to be released.
The One-Touch is easy to clean. You can disassemble the blade mount, and all parts except the motor base are dishwasher-safe. The jar's open bottom lets water run through it, eliminating a common pain point when it comes to cleaning a blender. There aren't many tight spots or crevices to work around, keeping the overall process quick.
