Measures 10 inches in height and is made in the USA.
Our take
This Oster Designer Kitchen Center is a vintage gem. With 10 speeds a variable speed control, it's great for precise mixing. The glass bowl feels premium, and it comes with a dough hook, slicer, and chopper. At $109.22, it's reasonably priced for a vintage model. However, it's plastic and can scratch. The blender attachment works, but it's not as powerful as modern ones. Still, it's a functional and attractive piece for retro kitchen enthusiasts.
