Oster BLSTPB-WBL vs. Magic Bullet 11-Piece Set: Which Personal Blender is Better

Overall Verdict

In our tests, the Oster BLSTPB-WBL wasn’t particularly impressive, churning out a serving of protein shake, leafy greens extraction, or frozen fruit smoothie with an acceptable texture, but not perfect.  Some of its competitors in this market segment, including the Magic Bullet 11-Piece Set, produced even  more mediocre results.

Within  the same price range,  the quality of build design between the two single-serve blenders is quite comparable. Both are equally average-built and come with a compact base. However, the Oster BLSTPB-WBL looks more aesthetically appealing due to the sporty design. 

In short, making blended beverages with the Oster BLSTPB-WBL is good for the simple combining of soft ingredients; its 250-watt motor being insufficient for excellent results of heavy-duty blends. But if this is sufficient for your needs and you can make compromises in order to get even blends, this blender would be the  better one to have.

Pros & Cons

  • It is affordable but better than its competitors at blending frozen fruits.
  • The light-duty motor works consistently for basic tasks like making smoothies, protein shakes, whole-food sauces, and more. 
  • Its usability allows for an enjoyable blending experience. 
  • There is a built-in, resettable fuse, which will revive the motor in 15 minutes if it overheats.
  • Easy to use, assemble, and clean. 
  • Stainless steel extractor blades are pretty solid. 
  • Three extra blending cups are included.
  • The blending jar is somewhat difficult to clean due to its narrow design.
  • The small circumference of the jar’s opening makes adding powders and fruits quite messy. 
  • This blender is not ideal for quick fibrous meals.
  • It doesn’t allow for hands-free operation. 
  • It is not suitable for blending frozen fruits or raw nuts. 
  • Motor base jumps around while operating. 
  • Build quality is not good. 
  • Its performance is inconsistent.
