i love her talking

You can probably make your own seal by cutting one out of the smaller silicon lids that you may not need.

If You’re having problems with the rubber gasket in the Oster Pro 1200, make a silicone one yourself. A YouTuber named “helpfulnatural” did it easily for next to nothing. She shows how to do it and says it works perfectly. She also has several excellent videos on what this very powerful blender can do with its 6-point reversing blade. It even liquifies chia seeds and turns ice into snow. She sold her Vitamix because of its nasty plastic jar which became cloudy, scratched and smelly and loves her Oster Pro 1200 which gets heavy daily use.

I have the Pro 1200 set with a 5-cup food processor attachment and a 24-ounce travel cup and it’s great. Cost: $89.99. The blender and cup alone are around $60.00. Bought mine from oster.com with free shipping. Target also sells them. Warranty: 10 years on the all-metal drive train and 3 years on everything else. Oster sells replacement parts.

Love this comparison! I’ve had the Oster Pro 1200 for just over 2 years and still use it every single day. I too do not like the rubber gasket seals so I made my own seals using a Wilton silicone baking sheet. It’s true, silicone seals much better than the rubber ones do. I may have to get some of those Dynablend silicone seals. 🙂

So is the Oster Pro 1200 powerful enough to blend frozen bananas or other frozen food into ice cream or sorbet? Is it as close to powerful as the Vitamix?

Blenders that I reviewed in this video:
1:50 Kenmore 40708 * http://amzn.to/2G2SIWz
5:53 Waring Pro (also looks like exactly same blender is sold by Cuisinart) * http://amzn.to/2F6wXUz
7:42 Dynablend Clean DB-950 * http://amzn.to/2F4emsh
11:48 Oster Pro 1200 * http://amzn.to/2DoSEyr
Based on my personal experience the best blender is Oster Pro * http://amzn.to/2DoSEyr
Best is base on:
1) food safety (no plastic scrapes and Teflon flakes)
2) price
3) durability
4) performance
(not in any specific order)

To make the glass Oster blender even more food-safe and plastic-free, I recommend switching from the included rubber seal to a silicone seal and use a silicone lid instead of the included plastic lid.

BPA-FREE PLASTIC – SCIENTIFIC STUDY – INDEPENDENT:
The claim of “BPA Free” is according to the manufacturer NOT according to several INDEPENDENT (as in not paid or influenced by the manufacturer) scientists.
There are several studies (US and European) that show that “BPA-Free” Tritan plastic (used by Vitamix and many others) leaches BPA and other toxic chemicals.

I thought you were Russian first, then German, then Greek. My first thought was correct; I shouldn’t have overthought. Thank you I will subscribe.

I have a vitamix .. used many times per day .. I wonder if a glass jug can be found to fit it because it does have a powerful motor .. thanks for your research 🙂
