We judged the Oster Master Series with Texture Select purely as a smoothie machine: how smooth it gets leafy greens and berry seeds, how it copes with frozen fruit and ice, how easy it is to use and clean, and whether the price is fair for what you get.
What we like
- Texture Select programs are beginner-friendly
- Glass jar plus a to-go cup
- Inexpensive
Watch out for
- Glass jar is heavy
- Not as smooth with greens as premium models

Smoothie performance
Soft fruit, yogurt and milk blend fine, but fibrous greens and seeds leave visible bits, so stick mostly to fruit-based recipes. It handles frozen fruit well as long as there is enough liquid; very thick blends may need a stop to stir. Thick smoothie bowls are possible with patience, but without a tamper you’ll stop to stir.
Size, cleanup and day-to-day use
It holds 6-cup glass jar + 24 oz to-go cup, so it suits one or two smoothies at a time. Dishwasher-safe: yes. The quickest cleanup for any blender: fill it a third with warm water and a drop of dish soap and blend for 30 seconds right after use.
Who should buy it
Best for: beginners who want a full-size glass jar and a to-go cup for under $70. The main trade-off: glass jar is heavy.
Price checked October 2026, blenders go on sale often, so compare a few retailers and check the warranty (See Oster’s warranty terms) before you buy.
Our verdict
A great pick for: beginners who want a full-size glass jar and a to-go cup for under $70. The catch: glass jar is heavy. If that’s a deal-breaker, see the alternatives below.

Alternatives to Oster Master Series with Texture Select
Vitamix’s entry model blends nearly as smoothly as the 5200 with a shorter jar that fits under cabinets. It’s the high-end blender we’d recommend to most smoothie fans.

More power than the BL610 plus Auto-iQ programs that pulse and pause for you: press “smoothie” and walk away. Smoother results with greens than cheaper Ninjas.

The main Vitamix rival: powerful, very smooth and run by simple preset buttons. A shorter jar fits under cabinets, and the 8-year warranty is the longest we’ve seen.
