Professional Bar Blender (40-oz.): Copper by Waring

I purchased this unti to replace another, a machine that due to faulty design had to be replaced by the manufacturer 3 times! This blender is wonderful, makes my frozen banana smoothie in SECONDS where the onther one used to take a minute or more. Powerful motor. And it cleans up fast. Highly recommend

8 seconds on low for perfect frozen margaritas. No stirring required. We timed it. Zero mess when pouring and leftovers in the carafe go right into the freezer. Clean up is nonexistant. Rinse it out and dry it after use and you are done.

After dealing with a previous ~$50 Smoothie Pro Blender that took about 2 minutes to grind ice, dripped and made a mess everywhere and eventually started leaking I threw it in the garbage. It lasted a grand total of 2 years.

I bought the Waring because I used to work in the food service industry and they have Warings that have been around forever. You get what you pay for. This blender is awesome and will last for a very long time. The copper color is gorgeous.

The only problem I can see is that the carafe is glass, and therefore the potential for breakage is there if dropped.

I bought this for my wife, since she's burned through every prior one. I kept telling her that it was going to be really poweful, and I thought it was going to be loud with whirlwind, and tornado as the two speed settings.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out how quiet it was, and yet still very powerful.

Great blender!

I had a waring blender a few years ago and for some inappropriate reason when i had to replace it i got a Kitchen Aid. Nice name, not a great blender. Every time i watched Bobby Flay, who uses the Waring, i vowed i would get another when the time came. The Kitchen Aid died and I got the Waring. it is great: two speeds, not 5 or 6 -- who needs that; steady powerful motor, three simple pieces and easy to clean. As Justin Wilson would have said "it a wondermous thing." Phil Jackson

smoothies, margaritas, soups, ice - handles all easily great design good motor sharp accurate blades superfasy easy to clean

This is not your mothers kitchen blender with all the buttons that doesn't even crush ice. This blender delivers. You can put rocks in this and it will blend them, but really this blender works great.

I gave this to my son and wife as a gift. It seems to work as well as our Waring we bought a few years ago for double the price. I read many reviews before purchasing and decided on this one. It seems to be well built and comes with a very good warranty. There are so many models and most look the same, but they are not.

We have had Waring bar blenders for many years, replacing them every 5-8 years when the pitcher starts to wear from tons of use. The copper finish on this one is absolutely gorgeous.

I love this blender and I'm pleased with the price I paid for it.

If you like making pureed soups, this blender is a champ.

Works great! My mom had a Waring same style and it lasted her entire life. Great product! Goes great in out newly remodeled wet bar!

Extremely happy with this blender. Most I've ever paid for one (but still could have paid much more) and I am glad I did. Very solid feel, heavy glass top and who really needs more than 2 speeds? First night out of the box it made some awesome frozen margaritas and handled the ice cudes with no problem. Been using it a lot ever since.

The Waring Pro is the best! Simplicity, strength and beauty. What more could you ask for. It lives up to all my expectations and more. American made and obviously proud of it, with a five year warranty. It's a little noisy, but not unexpected, due to it's metal high strength gears. Something I can live with, knowing that it will last for a very long time. It is also a very attractive appliance. If you value your dollar, this is it. Go for it!

To put things simply, this blender is the essence of what a blender should be. It has everything a blender should have (which many don't) and nothing that it doesn't need (which many blenders do).

Design: The heavy glass carafe is crafted in a unique clover-leaf shape that continuously forces food back into the blades. A side-effect of this design is that while it doesn't *appear* to have a pour spout, it actually has three; Pour lefty, righty, or straight. (Well, four, if you're the kind to chug right from the carafe. I wouldn't, but that's me). The bottom isn't one of those screw-off jobs that never goes back on right. This is solid, one-piece construction... and it still cleans up in seconds.

Usability: Get your blender out of the cabinet. How many buttons does it have? Eight? Twelve? I think my mother's has sixteen (eight buttons, with a two-level switch). Okay, now... how many of those buttons do you use? How many are even labeled in words you *understand*? Two, maybe? That's fine. You've mastered your two-speed food processor, and never wished for six more. The Waring has a three-position toggle switch: High, Low, and Off. Two speeds. It crushes ice on Low, and obliterates it on High. If you want six more buttons, you're delusional.

Power: It crushes ice on Low. That's not enough for you? Okay, how's this action for ya: It makes peanut butter. You might actually need to scrape down the sides once or twice in the beginning before it really gets going, but it requires no oil for emulsification. Natural peanut butter in minutes, at half the price that you'll get it in the store. And this stuff won't separate, either.

This hot little number kicks butt, and isn't bothering to take names.

I have other blenders, i.e. cuisanart and oster, but this blender does everything so much better. It chops ice and makes icey drinks with a hesitation.

Purchased blender for making daily energy shakes and occasional frothy treats; this blender is the perfect choice. Great for icy drinks like frappes and makes my shake very smooth. I like the ease of use and ease of cleaning; not gimmicky, just great function!

This Waring blender is exactly what I've been looking for. I didn't want fancy speeds that I wouldn't use or a plastic housing. This blender is perfect for my needs and I really like having a glass container that won't stain from tomatoes or fruit. I highly reccommend this blender as a powerful kitchen tool.

I read some of the other review before deciding to purchase this product. I think it's a great product for the money. I bought it to make smoothies and it does a great job. I don't have to stop it and move the contents around with a rubber spatula like before. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

When making protein drinks in the morning, I was using a machine that was made for smoothies. Not only was it extremely noisy, it took a long time to mix, and did not pulverize frozen fruit completely. The first time I used this machine, I couldn't believe how powerful, yet quiet, it was compared to the smoothie maker. I use it to make fresh bread crumbs and an assortment of other items. The only negative to this machine is the clear plastic cap that fits inside the lid--there should be a nib underneath to lock and unlock it. If I lift up the lid by the plastic cap, it lifts out of the lid. That is a good feature when adding things while mixing, but then you could unlock it for that. You should have the ability to lock it for lifting the entire lid.

This blender is the best we've ever owned. I have bought one for a friend, and our kids will get it for Christmas. Love it!
