 Horrible for smoothies April 12, 2008
V. Janssen (Annapolis, MD)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm on my third blender (store of purchase replaces it) and the latest one AGAIN smells and seems to be working at less than full capacity. I make smoothies - for me and my kids everyday. I've gotten so I throw in fresh fruit & veggies first, then frozen fruit and then ice and other ingredients (dry milk, etc...). And once again I'm having problems with the Waring blender. It's supposed to be such a great blender - and I have the anniversary edition - but it does not work well at all. I'm switching to a KitchenAid!
 Good buy April 8, 2008

This is the second time I have bought this blender. The first one lasted for 8 years and during the last three years had some pretty heavy use. We like to make a lot of fruit smoothies with frozen fruit chunks and it blends the frozen fruit into the drink just fine. It also crushes ice if desired. One thing to remember, when attempting to blend frozen food chunks it is important to have the frozen pieces on top of the liquid. This way you almost never have to open the blender and stir it, it will suck the frozen peices down into the blade and crush them as it blends the liquid. I think this is a good blender for the price and an added benefit is that it looks good on the counter.
Burned Up February 6, 2008

We bought this blender to make fruit smoothies, usually with soft fresh fruit and ice. We always start with our liquid, then the fruit, then the ice. Almost immediately, we detected a burning smell. I thought it was supposed to have an auto shut off to prevent the motor from burning. Now, we are hesitant to use it. We thought this "top of the line" blender would be heavy duty enough. Oh well.

This product is excellent. It performs above my expectations and, more importantly, my wife's.
Thanks
Poor quality blender...worked 8 months then stopped January 3, 2008

Good looking, sufficiently powerful blender for daily smoothies, but it stopped working after 8 months. It just quit and would not turn on. Beware: the warranty does NOT offer a replacement; you must send it in for repair. What a hassle that could have been avoided if they had simply built a reliable product in the first place. Waring customer service had no one available to take my call and asked me to leave a message. No one called me back; I finally had to call their Sales Dept to talk to someone (it's funny how they always have someone to answer phones in the Sales Dept but Service is always out "helping other callers").
I also noticed the glass chipping that was mentioned in an earlier review. I thought maybe I had chipped it accidentally, although I couldn't remember doing so. If this problem is endemic to this model, it certainly makes sense.
If you want a reliable blender, I advise you to look elsewhere.
