These models have a lot in common. Both are average personal blenders, with standard features and plenty of practicality for day-to-day use. In our tests, they performed similarly, with the exception that the Oster BLSTPB-WBL didn’t make protein shake as well as the BLACK+DECKER FusionBlade.
Besides the reassuring performances, both also stand quite firmly while in operation, and their simplicity make them as easy to use as any basic personal blender. If only they allowed for hands-free operation so you could manage multiple tasks at once.
In conclusion, if you're on a budget and just want to buy something basic, both the Oster BLSTPB-WBL and the BLACK+DECKER FusionBlade will not disappoint you.
