Oster is trademarked under Newell Brands and owned by Sunbeam. The company was founded by John Oster in 1928, when he created a pair of hair clippers that were powered by an electric motor. In 1946, the John Oster Manufacturing Company successfully acquired an electric company that held the patent for liquifying blenders. Oster took that patent and created a sub-brand within his company, Osterizer, which was used to market the aforementioned blenders. Today, Oster is a well-recognized name in many households, and its reliable products have won the company a high reputation with consumers everywhere.

The Oster Pro 1200 Blender comes with an extra-large 24-ounce smoothie cup, a six-cup Boroclass glass jar, and a five-cup food processing jar that has both a stainless-steel blade and a slicing disk. The 1200-watt motor ensures even blending, and the blender’s pre-programmed settings are perfect for making all kinds of foods, including salsa and milkshakes.

The extra-wide base on the blender, combined with its 3.5-inch extra-wide blade system, means you don’t have to worry about chunks of food or ice in your smoothies or protein shakes! The all-metal components within the machine’s housing have been tested to blend up to 10,000 smoothies, and it comes with a 10-year limited warranty. The Duralast All-Metal-Drive components are part of Oster’s commitment to ensuring its products last longer than any others on the market.

The 3-in-1 system is also available in three choices: the one featured here, the blender plus smoothie cup, and the blender plus food processor. Whichever you decide to get, you won’t be disappointed with Oster!

If you’ve ever been grateful for one of your electric kitchen appliances, thank Hamilton Beach for making the first non-commercial electric motor suitable for home use. In 1910, L.H. Hamilton and Chester Beach founded the Hamilton Beach Manufacturing Company, which sold motor-driven appliances, including the iconic Drink Mixer. When Hamilton Beach merged with Proctor and Silex in 1920, the two companies came together to create some of America’s first appliances: the silent toaster, irons with attached cords, electric coffee makers made from glass, and pop-up toasters.

With all its innovative products, it’s no surprise that many people rank the Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Shield Blender in Silver as one of the best blenders on the market! Its super powerful 1500-watt motor, combined with three program settings (puree, ice crush, and smoothie) means no more chunks of ice or frozen food in your smoothies. The additional "clean" setting will ensure your blender is squeaky clean.

The quiet shield, which blenders typically only have in commercial settings, greatly reduces the noise as well as splatter. The pitcher has a second use as a serving pitcher. Your purchase also includes the tamper, which can be used for foods with a thicker consistency (for example, making peanut butter). The blending jar is 32 ounces, BPA-free, and shatterproof, and the entire unit comes with a five-year limited warranty, so there’s no risk in giving it a try!

SharkNinja Operating LLC is probably better known as just “Shark” or “Ninja,” which are the two main brands operating under the LLC’s umbrella. Shark mainly distributes household cleaning products, while Ninja leans more toward kitchen appliances. The company first began operating in Montreal, Canada, in 1995, but then moved to a larger location just outside Boston. The current CEO, Mark Rosenzweig, believes in creating competitively priced, but groundbreaking, products that make it easier for consumers to cook, clean, and care for their homes.

Ninja’s Nutri Ninja Auto iQ uses powerful blades and a 1000-watt motor to extract the most vitamins possible from whatever food you’re blending. The auto iQ technology is an intelligent program built into the blender that times the blending and extracting process, so you don’t have to continually mess with it once you press “Blend” or “Ultra Blend” on the device’s front panel.

Your purchase includes several extras— 18-, 24-, and 32-ounce Nutri Ninja cups, three lids, and the pro extractor blades. All the plastic components are BPA-free and dishwasher safe, so cleanup is a breeze. The best part of the Nutri Ninja is that it’s easy to take with you on the go. Just set the auto iQ to blend your morning smoothie, get ready for work while it blends, and then snap the lid on once it’s done. It’s that easy!

Everyone knows the name Cuisinart. You may know that this brand was rocketed to celebrity when famous American chef Julia Child praised the company’s food processor—the first one in America—in 1973. But what you may not know is that, in addition to offering kitchen appliances, Cuisinart strives to provide people with culinary education tools, like the MyPantry application and recipe booklets packed in its product boxes.

You may also not know that Cuisinart won the Good Design Award for both 2015 and 2016, or that the company works with renowned chefs like Hubert Keller, Eric Ripert, and Jacques Pepin to help them further their culinary careers and goals.

With corporate arms so deeply steeped in the world of food, it’s no wonder people love the Cuisinart Portable Blending System. The main blending cup is 32 ounces and BPA-free, and the blender packs 350 watts of power, which is perfect for smoothies and shakes. It's easy to operate this device because the stainless steel touchpad only features three buttons: high, low, and pulse.

Other features we really love include:

• Safety mechanisms, like safety interlock and an auto-stop feature
• Blades are stainless steel and patented
• Two blade assemblies: chop and blend
• Available in three colors - black, pink, and white
• Comes with eight-ounce chopping jar
• Also comes with four 16-ounce lidded travel cups
• Dishwasher safe travel cups
• Easy-to-clean blending cup
• Three-year limited warranty

And because it’s Cuisinart, a recipe book is included with your purchase, so you can be making delicious smoothies as soon as your package arrives.
