Waring WPB 01 / 04 / 05 / 09 Professional 2 Speed Blender  Product Reviews

"I had this belnder (but with a glass pitcher) and the motor just stopped after two and a half years of service. I was told it was NOT DESIGND to blend frozn fruit because of the fiber - I make smoothies daily. I mostly use frozen blueberries and raspberries. I would not consider that a heavy work load. Its not like I am belnding frozen hay or wood chips. Before this one I had a cheap plastic blender (brand???) that blended fruit and ice and who knows what else for years without trouble. Save some money and dont buy this, if you do buy it, fill out the warranty card and register the product!!!! Also, if from the start, you are not happy with the performance, take it back!"

"I just purchased this Waring blender after researching it for quite sometime. We couldn't wait to get it out of the box and immediately set to making some strawberry smoothies. This blender is extremely fast and powerful~nothing like other blenders I've used. Ice crushes in an instant, as do frozen berries. It has only 2 switches, low and high, but I can't see why you would need more than that. It gets the job done in seconds!"
