The Oster Pro 1200 is a great addition to my kitchen. It has been used to create shakes, smoothies, fresh salsa, chop veggies for soups and that was within the last week. Both attachments are very easy to clean up, and the sharp blades get the job done quickly. I love the look and styling of the product, it fits right in with my kitchen. I am looking forward to using this product more and more with the different meals that are prepared throughout the week. As I have seen in other reviews, the motor is a louder but that was not any reason to rate it any lower. I plan to use this unit for years in my kitchen.
