Oster BLSTPB-WBL vs Magic Bullet 11 Piece Set Side-by-Side Comparison
Our comparison between the Oster BLSTPB-WBL vs. Magic Bullet 11-Piece Set reveals that, with the same level of power, there isn't always the same efficiency.

Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
In our tests, the Oster BLSTPB-WBL wasn’t particularly impressive, churning out a serving of protein shake, leafy greens extraction, or frozen fruit smoothie with an acceptable texture, but not perfect. Some of its competitors in this market segment, including the Magic Bullet 11-Piece Set, produced even more mediocre results.
Within the same price range, the quality of build design between the two single-serve blenders is quite comparable. Both are equally average-built and come with a compact base. However, the Oster BLSTPB-WBL looks more aesthetically appealing due to the sporty design.
In short, making blended beverages with the Oster BLSTPB-WBL is good for the simple combining of soft ingredients; its 250-watt motor being insufficient for excellent results of heavy-duty blends. But if this is sufficient for your needs and you can make compromises in order to get even blends, this blender would be the better one to have.
