I was super excited when I received the Oster Pro 1200! The packaging was visually appealing and I could not wait to try it out! I loved the overall design. It included a to-go cup for those days when you make less and want to take something portable. I make many smoothie recipes and I loved the fact that this blender had more settings than other blenders that I have seen. It was very powerful and I would highly recommend it. I received the Oster Pro 1200 free as a sample product, however, these opinions are honest and they are my own.
