Professional reviewers acknowledge the Oster Pro 1200's strong motor and versatile presets as solid value for its price, but they consistently note its high noise output and limited control features as drawbacks compared to rivals like Ninja.
Everyday users praise the blender's powerful performance, easy setup, and the convenience of the portable smoothie cup, but they frequently cite the loud noise, occasional jar jams with fibrous foods, and basic control layout as pain points.
Professional reviewers commend the BN301 for its strong ice-crushing and ability to blend fibrous ingredients into smooth textures while maintaining a reasonable noise level. However, they criticize its single-speed, press-to-blend operation, limited 20 oz capacity, and motor performance that falls short of true professional-grade expectations.
Everyday users love the smooth, creamy results and the convenience of the three portable cups that fit car holders, noting easy cleanup thanks to dishwasher-safe, BPA-free parts. Recurring complaints focus on durability concerns, the need to keep the unit plugged in, and occasional blending inconsistency requiring extra pressing.
“Extremely loud during runs”
“Easy setup, strong blending for daily smoothies/ice (pulse excels)”
