Waring Xtreme 3 1/2 hp Commercial Blender with Paddle Switches, and 64 oz. Container

Ok, I already wrote a 5 star review for this blender but then I made them take it down because I had a few issues (which have worked themselves out/made sense) and I think I have changed my mind from thinking may 3 star to go back to a 4 star review. PRO: it is pretty heavy duty CON: it does Max out, overheat and shut off PRO: it automatically shuts off when it is getting overheated/maxed out CON: it smelled like it was burning a lot in the beginning (and still does when it maxes out) and one of them would max out way sooner than the other in the beginning. They seem to be more equal now, but one was a total pain in the butt in the beginning. PRO: they ARE pretty durable CON: I think they could be a bit more durable/heavy duty... they talk this blender Read More

Replaced control electronics twice in 18 months. No warranty support since I shipped it out of the US so I am stuck paying $100+ for the part plus shipping. Would not recommend.

Love this blender! It is so much quieter than our last one. It mixes anything you put in it in just a matter of seconds and it's very durable. The pitcher is very lightweight also.

This is a simple machine which can outperform any of the competition if used in the right way. There aren't a lot of frills on this guy: two speeds and a pulse function. He also runs extremely loudly, but the power and effectiveness of the engine can blend through anything if properly used. The Waring MX is cheaper than the fancied up Vitamixes and Blendtecs, but the machinery behind the blender and stand up to and exceed both. If you don't mind a kind of clunky, noisy machine,this is an incredible bargain.

After MANY HOURS of research that included reading reviews, sorting through countless customer comments, and watching way too many videos on various blenders, we decided to go with the Waring MX1000XTX for our busy restaurant's bar. Our verdict after about a week of use? Stop your research and just get it! The first day our bartender prepared our signature 48oz Mexican Bulldog (frozen Margarita with a Corona inverted into it)...in less than FOUR SECONDS--with no bits of ice, in the presence of two die-hard blender fans and they were blown away. No joke, it looked like a majic trick. And those who complain that it is loud must be using it to make smoothies in a closet at 5:00 in the morning! The 64 oz container is a great size for our bar. It will blend one 12oz drink or a full pitcher with the same ease. Now our kitchen staff wants one as well. And you can't beat the great price and service from Webstaurantstore.

This blender is almost frightening. I've been using consumer blenders for a long time, and after having burned out yet another Oster, I figured I'd take the plunge and get something better. I've seriously looked at Blendtec, Vitamix, and the new KitchenAid Diamond series, but they all seemed to have a few pitfalls, and were very expensive. This Waring looked like a great performer, and the many videos of it on-line show that it does an outstanding job. It does. Here are my observations: The base alone is almost as tall as an entire consumer blender (it is BIG). There is a lengthy, heavy-gauge cord. The canister is very heavy as well (the metal of the base and blade assembly is very sturdy). 64 ounces is a LARGE capacity. The width of the jar is such that you don't need a tamping stick. How does it work? Amazingly well.  Read More

This unit truly deserves a 5-star rating. I have had it for six months now, and wish I had bought it years ago. I got the 64 oz. container for larger batches of iced smoothies. It makes the smoothest pureed soups in just a few seconds -- I toss in chunks of cooked chicken thighs, lots of steamed broccoli & cauliflower, and a can of Swansons chicken broth for a thick and creamy puree. It handles the ice for my smoothies and frozen margaritas without a problem (something my other blenders could never do). With all that going on and it doesn't budge from it's place--no walking. It's built like a little tank with minimal moving parts, and I expect it to be in service for a very long time because of the quality materials used in its manufacture. I'm 64, and this Read More

It’s beeen soooo good with us making fresh juices with berries and all different kind of fruits. Very strong smooth and very practical it doesn’t take much room .been veeeeery happy with it I use it every day

I have been using waring blenders for many years and the quality is getting worse and worse. Last month I got a replacement and now it doesn't work well. I just wonder if waring gave refurbished or bad one for replacement. Very disappointed at the quality of the price.

We couldn't be happier with this blender. Its hard working and after a year of use still works perfectly well. I like the way it blends everything very finely, doesn't leave big chunks and makes smooth sauces. The cord is also long - I wish all appliances came with a long cord like this.

We have owned this blender for several years and can't say enough about it. It is an absolute workhorse at our restaurant's busy bar. I just can't see paying several times it's price for other brands that aren't nearly as powerful. As with any product, some who have left negative reviews may have received a lemon. BUT...Webstaurantstore does an amazing job of taking care of issues. We have always been extremely satisfied with their customer service and prompt response to questions/issues, no matter how minor, and that is a big part of what keeps us coming back. You can buy this blender with no reservations. Great investment!

I'm torn on writing and rating this blender. On the one hand we really like how they work and the power they have. They easily blend smoothies and sauces. That is while they are working. We do about 30 smoothies, a day with the blender 5 days a week. In 4 years, between this one and the next step up, the MX1200 we've had 4 or 5 warranty returns withing a year. Fortunately those were covered and we received new units. Two other's we've had lasted about a year and a half before breaking out of warranty. We blend according the the manufactures instructions. It's seems for the price of the blender of this power that they should last longer with the use we put them through. For a blender that is rated for 75+ drinks a day I'm disappointed to say the least. These may last in a residential situation, but they just don't seem to hold up even to light commercial use. Unfortunately we're no long able to recommend these and will be looking for another manufacturer for our blenders.

This thing is a beast! Crushes ice to snow on low in mere seconds. I don't know why I did not purchase this sooner. This blender beats out every high end blender on the market. It blends vegetables for soup (broccoli cheese, tomato) so well that I don't need to add cream, its so incredibly creamy and smooth out of the blender. It's very quick, you can make peanut butter or other nut butters without feeling like you are straining the motor. It powers through it without any extra effort, slowing down or grinding noise. If you are looking at vitamix or anything else there is no comparison. Waring is the way to go. Also Webstaurantstore.com is super fast shipping. I believe I received my blender the next day.

Blender was used 5-7 times a day for fruit smoothies and stoped working in a 3 month. Customer service promised to reply back to me in 48 hours but noting happened. Very disappointed.

it is good to make smoothies and mixed drinks also quickly cleaned after a busy day and it cut the pieces . i recommend it for you

Best blender. I use it for slashing fruit and vegetables for juice. It is about 200 dollars cheaper than other seller. Great buy in general.

Great blender. We use this in a high volume shop and use it everyday. We blend frappe and smoothies super quick and easy. . wish it came with two pitchers. Only negative is that it is loud...

This Waring MX1000XTX is well worth the price! It is strong enough to chop through I cubes and makes fantastic smoothies. It's a great value!

Very powerful blender. Paddle controls give a lot of control to the user. Soft start on the speed control paddle, and instant power on the pulse button. Pour spout is very helpful.

Simply put, this thing is a beast. Makes easy work of the constant flow of frozen cocktails coming out of our bar. Hesitated to buy a second jar until we tested the blender, and ended up getting a second jar right away. Save yourself the hassle and order a second jar from the start, as this blender will not disappoint.
