Compare Blenders
Oster Pro 1200 Blender with Borosilicate Glass Jar scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want a glass-jar blender for a family of 3–4 and need a 48oz jar to avoid running two blend batches every morning.
Chemical safety in food-contact surfaces is your top priority and you want independent Mamavation validation rather than a brand claim.
You're blending soft fruits, yogurt, and liquid-forward smoothies — not frozen-solid fruit or whole greens.
You need the most jar capacity per dollar in a glass-jar blender under $35.
You want the safest commonly-available jar material (borosilicate glass) with independent third-party BPA verification.
You blend a variety of ingredients including soups, frozen drinks, and sauces and want enough motor power to handle them reliably.
You want a warranty that gives you more than 1 year of coverage without paying Vitamix prices.
You're upgrading from a plastic-jar blender and want a meaningful step up in food-contact safety.
Your household blends daily and needs a mid-power machine that won't give up on tougher recipes.
The main thing to know
The 2-year warranty is the weakest in this comparison at the same price tier — both Hamilton Beach and Oster offer 3 years for roughly the same money. If durability coverage matters, look at those alternatives.
The Oster Pro 1200 uses a borosilicate glass jar — the safest food-contact material available — but the 48oz capacity requires two batches for a full family of four.
Skip this if you...
You want the longest warranty available at this price — both Hamilton Beach and Oster offer 3 years for the same money.
You regularly blend frozen fruit, kale, or whole nuts and need a motor that can handle them without pre-processing.
You live in an apartment or have young children who nap — we can't confirm this blender runs quietly.
You're choosing between this and a budget glass-jar option only for safety reasons — the $40–$60 alternatives carry the same Mamavation safety rating.
Your priority is ultra-quiet operation — at 1200W, this blender will be audible in open-plan living spaces.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
