The Waring Professional Blender Offers Popular Power and Style

The MBB518 Waring Professional Blender

The MBB518 is a Waring Professional Blender worthy of home and commercial bar ownership because it is economically viable for either enterprise.

This commercial blender comes with a 40 ounce glass carafe that can be used to blend ice, fruit, vegetables and soups. This countertop professional model is equipped with a 390-watt motor and has a high and low speed that will handle all of your food and beverage blending tasks. The blender measures 16.5" in height and 8" in diameter.  The motor has a five year warranty and the unit itself has a one year warranty. This blender comes with a 3 foot power cord which is longer than the cords that come with most blenders.

Customer reviews on this Waring blender are mixed, although it has an above average overall above-agerave rating. The common complaint on this blender is that the blade assembly leaks and the leak often occurred after only a few uses. The glass carafe chips as well which prompted several reviewers to go out and purchase a stainless steel replacement carafe which is noisier than the glass jar but safer to use.

The biggest complaint is that for a commercial blender, the Waring comes up short when it comes to blending frozen fruit. The manual that comes with the blender states it may be used to blend frozen fruit and to crush ice, but users who rated the blender 1 and 2 stars say it doesn’t work that well for these tasks. The frozen fruit should be added last when using the blender. Put the liquid and softer fruits at the bottom of the jug to get the optimum performance from this small appliance.

The Waring Professional Blender looks like a retro blender from the 1960s. The base comes in your choice of stainless steel or bright copper. It is very sturdy and won't wobble because of the weighted base, which is a common complaint of less expensive blenders when the unit is being used. The price of the pro blender is reasonable and can be purchased for $120 to $190.


Pros and Cons
Pros
  • Big 40 ounce carafe is an improvement over the 32 ounce carafe because it really provides enough liquid for two.
  • Cleaning the unit is easy because there is no disassembly needed in comparison to a Kitchen Aid blender.
  • Comes in stainless steel and copper and looks attractive if your intent is to leave it out on your countertop.
Cons
  • The offered warranty does not cover broken blades or leaking blade assembly. Most warranties are limited in scope and may not cover product replacement.
