Blenders > 5 Cup Blenders

Advantages: compact size, sharp blades, great for drinks
Disadvantages: can't chop food properly

...not when you're getting an Oster Blender. Since manufacturing the first blenders in the 1920s, the Oster brand has made its presence known in most households across the world. Some of the BASIC FEATURES of this model are: * 12 speed blender- I used to have an 8 speed Oster Blender which worked well enough for me. Having some extra buttons to push isn't a big plus for me since I still use the same buttons anyway. The placing of buttons ...
...doesn't look cramped at all. * 5-cup capacity- It's really compact so you can't expect more in terms of capacity. 5 cups works well for small parties anyway. In addition to this, there are also measurements on the sides of the pitcher. 2 sides provide measurements in cups with 5 cups total and another 2 sides offer measurements in liters with 1.25L total. * 450 Watts of Power * All-Metal Drive system for power and extra durability ...

This blender looks like a professional blender in my kitchen. The interface of this blender is what i wanted. I like to make peach ice blended using this. Just add in 1.5oz of peach syrup, or whatever flavour of syrup that you like, add in a cup of ice. Blend it for a while and a cup of ice blended peach is done.

...with my jaw and the Magic Bullet is perfect for my nutritional needs. Nothing is too hard for this kitchen must have. It grinds ice without a stop so you know that frozen fruit and nuts are no challenge. Anyone that needs softer foods, has a baby with food to puree or enjoys a tropical sunset drink (grab an umbrella) will find the Bullet invaluable. With the Holidays approaching, I can't wait to use my "Magic" to whip up my favorite cheese dips ... Read review
