Oster 14-Speed Blender —
I used to work at a juice bar, so I'm familiar with using the expensive Vita-Mix commercial blenders. I wanted a blended that would chop up frozen fruit for smoothies as good as those blenders did. This blender is AMAZING! It works just as good as a $500 blender. It has no problem chopping up frozen fruit! I'm sure in time the blade will become dull and it will leave chunks of fruit behind, but trust me, even really expensive blenders do that over time. I am so impressed with this blender. Everything is perfect with it; the style, the price, etc. I am so HAPPY with it!
