Product Description
The name Waring is synonymous with quality blenders. Crushing ice? No problem. Featuring a heavy duty metal base and the legendary clover leaf carafe this blender not only looks like a pro, it performs like one. This is the blender that the professionals use. You'll recognize our trademark 40-oz. cloverleaf carafe. It was designed to create a vortex action for faster, thorough blending, and it works! The commercial grade 2-speed motor is more power than most home kitchens need, but it makes even heavy tasks like ice-crushing effortless. With a self-cleaning blade assembly, this blender cleans up after itself!
Amazon.com Review
Bandleader and inventor Fred Waring introduced the first blender in 1936, and this model pays tribute to that early version in its retro styling. A tall, old-fashioned-looking blender, it will crush ice and blend frozen fruit beautifully in a few seconds. This blender feels sturdy: the lid, with a cap that doubles as a 1-ounce measurer, fits securely, and the pitcher, made of thick, ridged glass, won't wobble. Many chefs prefer a blender rather than a food processor for soups and creamy sauces--the blades of a good blender whirl more quickly than those of a food processor and will refine a thin liquid such as cream of tomato soup to an incomparably silky texture. This blender is definitely up to that task. The fixed, self-cleaning stainless-steel blades on the base of the pitcher mean the lid is the only separate part to wash. --Maria Dolan

 A Classic - Great Gift! - But Consider Basic Black (Ebony) - This Machine Will Outlive Color Fads! December 2, 2008

For many years now I have wondered if my Waring Blender would ever fail. After two washing machines, a couple refrigerators, and endless smaller appliances have broken down and been fixed or replaced, it continues to work with the unflappability of a perfect butler. This is a timeless design, and at a time where people are rightly cautious about their expenditures, this offers about as Blue Chip an investment as you can find.
Two years ago I bought one of these as a gift for friends who had another company's blender break down after only a year and a half of minor use. They LOVE their Waring! In fact, they tell me they use it far more often than they did their previous blender, because it does such a fine job.
So, if you're looking for a Holiday gift that will keep on giving for many, many years, and you know someone without one of these icons, consider this as an excellent choice among your gifting options.
One of my all time favorite kitchen appliances!
The picture on the review is not the option I would suggest - you can order differing models at slightly different prices. You can find them by clicking the Buying Option and checking out the four or fice ones still around. Consider black with the clear glass, or as a fall back, red with the clear glass, if you can get it. There is also sometimes an all stainless one available, very sophisticated looking. Any of these look very cool and retro and will ride out any temporary fashion madness - such as pistachio!
Waring makes even more powerful models, if you do a lot of partying you might consider one of them. However, for most people this model should be most satisfactory.

without question, BEST blender I've ever used. Crushes ice in mere seconds with NO chunks or ice pieces - period! I make a smoothie drink every morning using powder Isagenix mix, water, fresh fruit and 6 large ice cubes. Creates unbelieve thick smooth shake with absoulety no ice chips. Expensive, yes, but you get what you pay for. Makes incredible frozen Margharita's too! - Purchase this bar blender, you will not be dissapointed.

Works great but it is TOO LOUD. Wish I had done more research before purchasing. For the price, I expected it to be quieter. Friends have bought blenders from other places. (i.e. Williams & Sonoma) and tell me theirs is not noisy.
Best Blender Ever!! August 28, 2008

This is hands down the best blender I have ever used! It has no trouble with quickly blending everything I put in it. It's easy to clean, it's sooo nice looking and I love the cloverleaf container design! No latching the jar onto the base, simply set the container on the base and little feet against the clover leaf shape hold it in place. I'm so happy every morning when I go to make my vita-smoothie! Buy it! You'll love it!

I've had the blender about 3 weeks and have used it several times for pureeing soup and yesterday for pureeing softened dried peppers. It has done an excellent job on each. The minimal number of settings (high and low) has not been a detriment -- medium is still stronger than my previous Krups blender. The blade moves the contents around very well.
I'm glad I chose it.
