Oster Blenders in Blenders(70)

How do I know what size blender should I buy?

The majority of standard blenders hold between 2 and 9 cups of liquid, but you can find smaller personal-size blenders and larger high-performance blenders as well. Choose a size that best fits your needs. Are you using it to make personal smoothies each day? A smaller size, like 2 to 4 cups, should suffice, or you may want to look into a personal blender that serves one person and holds between 8 and 20 ounces. If you use a blender to make large meals for your family, you might want one that holds 6 or more cups. If you plan to use it to make mixed drinks, think about how many people you typically entertain. You'll want to allow for at least 8 ounces per person. For big crowds, look for a high-performance blender so you can keep the drinks flowing. Not only are they often bigger than standard blenders, but they work faster too.

Can I use a blender to make my own baby food?

How do I know when to replace the O-ring on my blender?

Two signs your blender needs a new O-ring are usually that it's running louder than normal or that it's started leaking when you use it. These rings act as a seal for your blender, but they do deteriorate over time. If you know your blender's brand and model number, finding a replacement part is usually pretty simple.
