I bought this about a month ago and so far its amazing how great this product is. The power is great to battle anything, I made a smoothie using frozen strawberries and it had no problem dissolving it. Really like the features it has on this version. It truly is worth the money to purchase this blender.

Great product but food processor cup broke easily

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like my blender/food processor dual function appliance, and it works well. However, I am disappointed that the lid for the food processor broke quite easily (it fell out of my cabinet), and now I have to buy an ENTIRE new food processor attachment since the cup/lid is not available separately. Then when I went to order the whole food processor attachment, I was disappointed to find that it is out of stock for at least the next 4-6 weeks (and there is no option to be notified when it is back in stock).

I would just like to commend Oster for standing behind their products. I have owned Oster appliances for many years and less than a year ago purchased the Oster Versa. While blending today the rod in the base which causes the blades to spin broke off. I called the company and within 30 minutes got confirmation that the company would be sending me a free new base without having to return the old one. Within an hour I had email confirmation that my order had been processed. This is why I always use Oster products because they stand behind their products! Thanks Oster!

Very Powerful

I received this blender as a sample to test the product. I thoroughly tested the product and found it to be so versitle and powerful. It pureed things that I have had trouble getting smooth with other blenders that I have used. With the different attachments it works as a blender and a food processor and makes the absolute smoothest purees and smoothies. There are even individual to go cups that you can make smoothies in to go. There are a lot of pieces as a result of this versatility, but managing storage on this is definitely worth it! I highly recommend this product to others as you will be able to have one appliace do the work of two or three and do it very well!

I really like this blender

I have always been skeptical of high-end kitchen appliances—stand mixers, programmable slow cookers, etc. So I never really wanted to buy into these new ‘super blenders.’ After all, when was I going to need to blend an iPhone? We did get “Ninja” a couple years back. It actually was an upgrade over our old, cheap blender, albeit with some shortcomings. It never chopped evenly, you could only run it for 15 seconds at a time, it only had one setting, and the blending jars were a little small. If a $60 blender wasn’t that much of an upgrade over my $20 one, why would I want something that costs even more?
That’s where my Versa Blender surprised me. In my opinion, for any pricy appliance to be worth it, they can’t just do a single job better than their less expensive counterparts. They need to actually do more jobs. So a nicer blender shouldn’t just blend. It should also chop, slice, dice, plus make me a smoothie. And this one does. It actually makes peanut butter. I’m using this thing for stuff I had never thought of.
I hardly ever make a meal without using it. I’m terrible at chopping veggies. I don’t know if I should blame myself or my knives, but I’m bad at it—and half the recipes I use call for onions. Now I just throw them in the food processor jar, and it 10 seconds, I have diced onions. What else? Chopped cilantro. My wife makes this cilantro-lime rice (like a certain fast casual chain named after smoked jalapenos). The problem is, to evenly distribute the flavor, you’ve got to really, really dice up the fresh cilantro. That’s hard to do—unless you have this baby.
My most common use for this blender is for green smoothies. If you’re not familiar with them, they are drinks made up mainly of leafy greens and frozen fruit. I’m by no means a health nut. It’s more of my way of getting in my veggies when dinners consist mainly of corn dogs, or something equally bad. The worst part about those green smoothies is the tiny bits of spinach and kale. The taste isn’t that bad. I can down worse-tasting stuff. It’s the texture that kills it. My old Ninja did a suitable job. But the Versa Blender rocks it. No bits of green. I actually drink the stuff more regularly now because they aren’t so terrible. On top of that, the jar is big enough that I can add in all the ingredients at once, and then push the ‘Smoothie’ preset and walk away. The whole thing blends itself in about a minute.
Oh, and I love the little blender bottles that come with it. Perfect if you want blend something but take it to work. My wife has done that a few times with her green smoothie.
I would recommend this product to anyone.

This blender is so easy to use and chops up almost everything. I use it regularly to make smoothies and they always turn out "restaurant style" Blends and chops everything up perfectly. Great modern design and fits in perfectly with my kitchen decor. The motor is a little loud but worth it to have such an amazing blender. I love the blend and go cups. So easy and convenient to use. I received this product for free to test and review. I absolutely love it. Doing away with the old blender!

All-in-One and very user friendly

This blender is a great accessory to the kitchen! It's all in one versatility and user friendly operation make this an appliance you can't do without. Great recipe guide and the personal use 20oz bending cups make smoothie and frozen drinks a family's go to snack, just add your ingredients, put on the blending blades, hit a button and the blender does the rest.
Accessories include, a standard blending container, a food processor with both grating and chopping options, and two personal use my cups. Everything worked flawlessly, even when I had a problem with the personal use cups blade attachment, the seal was ruined, zoster was quick to replace the gasket with an upgraded piece.
I received this blender as a sample product and am very happy with it. This would be the option I'd purchased if I was looking for a great value performance blender.
