Osterizer
Osterizer is a brand which has been used by Oster Manufacturing for its line of blenders since 1946.
History
It is claimed to be the first mainstream brand of blender,[1] though technically the Waring blender brand was introduced in 1937.
In 1946, Oster acquired the Stevens Electric Company, which had received a patent on the liquifying blender in 1922. Oster itself was bought by Sunbeam Corporation in 1960.
The blender
Osterizer blenders tended towards heavy construction and motors. While this raised cost, many early-model Osterizers still function today, and are more powerful than a majority of contemporary consumer blenders.
Popular culture
Oster Platinum Face 60-Minute Timer celebrated the 80th Anniversary on December 2010.
