Kitchen Blenders

Raney :

This is a great smoothie blender. it does a great job on the ice and makes a really smooth product. It is really loud but it definitely gets the job done. I would recommend taking it apart completely before cleaning because crud likes to get stuck under the blade.

Ingersoll :

We are for the most part happy with this blender. The only disappointment was that the blender karafe is plastic , not glass. If I had known that in advance I probably would have purchased one that was glass.

Olga :

We had an older Waring Pro blender whose blades tended to completely stop rotating (while the motor continued to turn) with heavier ingredients. Thinking it was a defect, we finally replaced it with this one and now have the exact same issue. The blade assembly seems to have some kind of protective clutch, but its too sensitive. So the “powerful 500 watt motor” is a waste because it’s handicapped by the weak blade assembly. It’s like a high-end sports car with defective tires. I would recommend avoiding any Waring blenders unless you’re only using the most viscous ingredients.

Alderson :

I bought this blender two years ago to upgrade from my Oster blender. I loved the retro look until the cool little black pieces started peeling off. Well, that was only cosmetic, but what was that burning smell when I “pushed” the motor too hard? Why didn’t it make a simple fruit smoothie? This is a Waring, right? I have tried to love it. I have tried to forgive it. The truth is, I despise this blender. I gave my Oster blender to my mother-in-law. I wish I could take it back. I didn’t know how good I had it. I wish I had returned it the first time it couldn’t blend a frozen strawberry.

Pizzo :

We bought this about 2 years ago. It looks great and we liked the fact that the jar is glass and the base has a clean stainless look. We use it often to make smoothies with juice, frozen fruit, etc.

However, it started breaking down in the last 6 months. My husband keeps tightening the blades inside the blender, but it has broken down to the point where we can’t use it anymore. We may try to get it repaired, but it would probably cost the same to buy another, less expensive blender. I don’t know how long a blender should last, I just wish this one would have held up longer. I wouldn’t buy another one; it doesn’t seem worth the money.
