Overall Product Weight: -8.3 lbs.Bandleader and inventor Fred Waring introduced the first blender in 1936; more than 60 years later the Waring blender remains the standard for the field. This one, a hardworking blender with a durable glass pitcher and a sturdy metal base, can quickly pulverize ice or purée a vichyssoise to creamy smoothness. The stainless-steel blade is removable on this model, and the plastic ring that attaches the blade to the pitcher feels a little light for such a heavy blender. Those in doubt might go with one of Waring’s fixed-blade blenders. With a one-year appliance warranty, though, there’s plenty of time to test this one out. –Maria Dolan

The quality of the current version of this time-proven workhorse is downright atrocious.One has to wonder what the thinking is at a company that produces a quality…
BEAUTIFUL, but functional design flaw I love the look and feel of this product, as I own an Oster that is similar. I did not want a plastic product. But I am lost. The original blender I ordered did not align easily on its base and when I called customer service I was not given any direction. Rather, she said “you aren’t using frozen fruit are you?”. While I hadn’t, I thought that was a crazy comment, given that this blender is listed as a “commercial blender”, and should be fine with ice and all frozen fruits…
Broke after using 4 times – a piece of junk ! This blender is a piece of junk. To use the blender, you simply place the top part (the jar assembly) on the bottom part (the base). There is a rubber (yes, rubber) coupling on the top of the base which fits into a metal gear at the bottom of the jar, transferring power from the motor in the base to the blade in the jar. There is only way to fit the jar assembly on to the base, so there really isn’t any way to make a mistake from a user’s perspective.After making a total of four…
