Waring HPB300 MegaMix Commercial Blender, Brushed Steel
Product Description
Built for professional bars, commercial kitchens and smoothie shops, the MegaMix® commercial blender by Waring® is the choice when only the best will do. Waring puts a full horse of extra power into this blender to crush ice and pulverize frozen ingredients in a matter of seconds.
A real time saver, this blender is a workhorse that can blend soups and sauces, as well as ice, slushy drinks and ice-cold smoothies. The 27,000-RPM motor runs much faster than other blenders, allowing you to prepare shakes, pina coladas and favorite coffee drinks in record time.
A solid cover houses the powerful 2-speed motor that crushes ice to any consistency. Just toggle Hi, toggle Lo, or toggle Off. The heavy-duty blade and blade assembly are time tested under bar and restaurant demands, and are housed in an extra-large dishwasher safe and durable 48-ounce plastic jar.
Serious looking but simple to operate, MegaMix® makes blending a pleasure.

This is a real blender
By David Swanson
I bought this to replace a Kitchen Aid.The Kitchen Aid uses a coupler on top of the motor which spins the blade that's made out of rubber over metal which will break if you make lots of frozen fruit drinks. That's what I had happen.The Waring uses the same type of design, but the difference is that you can buy a replacement ($5.95) and put it on yourself with a wrench If it were to ever come apart. The Kitchen Aid has to be serviced, take apart the motor to get to it from the inside etc.
This Waring Blender is very powerful! It's loud and spins very fast. Which makes it blend in a fraction of the time of others. It makes my old Kitchen-Aid seem like a childs toy in comparison.
It's much more obviously commercial through heft, simplicity of design and function and servicability.
It has only 2 speeds. Professional chefs say that's all you need. it has a simple toggle switch, no multiple speed electronic gimmics. Just very functional.
I originally really wanted a glass container. It provided some heft to my old Kitchen-Aid and I thought that it was a sign of higher quality.For a commercial application you would prefer the unbreakable quality of the polycarbon plastic as well as the lack of weight. It's light as a feather.
I was also concerned that the blade being permenantly mounted inside the container would be hard to clean. (actually you can take it apart with a deep socket and extension, not for cleaning but blade replacement). My Kitchen Aids came apart for cleaning and I could put it in the dishwasher. I find the cleaning instruction are easy with the Waring, actually simple to clean you should just do it right away once your done mixing. Less time to clean and assemble.
What I see now with comparing this to the kitchen-Aid besides what I've already mentioned, is that the Kitchen-Aid looks simple through it's visual design. It's over designed through what appear to be valuable features which only make it more complicated. You have to do more work from cleaning, assembling and servicing.The Waring on the other hand is bare bones functional. It was designed to blend and be easily serviced and quickly cleaned.

It makes my old Kitchen-Aid seem like a childs toy in comparison.Note: You don't load the thing up with frozen fruit or else it may just jam and won't spin. Also you're supposed to drop the ice in from the top while it's running.It's much more obviously commercial through heft, simplicity of design and function and servicability.It has only 2 speeds.

It's light as a feather.One of the first things I noticed was that the container doesn't lock to the base. I was originally concerned, but in a commercial setting you'd just keep your hand on it since it's not going to take long to blend, and then you just quickly pull it off and pour.I was also concerned that the blade being permenantly mounted inside the container would be hard to clean.

Daily user - fruit smoothies for breakfast
By Peter
Over the past 3 years, we have owned a 'commercial quality' KitchenAid with a stainless steel pitcher and a high end Oster unit.Neither blended milk, frozen fruit, soy powder, and cottage cheese properly. The Kitchen Aid always left a blob of non-blended material plus chunks of fruit in the bottom.We purchased the Waring Mega-Mix 5 months ago after reading the reviews on Amazon.com. We use it at least once daily.Pluses:1. Blends frozen or fresh fruit amazingly quickly and completely.2. Mixes powders, fluids, and solids completely and efficiently.3. Incredibly powerful motor4. Polycarbonade pitcher is light weight and seems very strong.5. High quality construction and commercial look to it.Minuses:1. Initially offered us a 'burnt' odor for the first 3 weeks of use (Amazon reviews warned of this)2. Very noisy! I have adopted a one hand over one ear and the opposite shoulder plastered against the other ear stance while keeping the other hand on the lid.3. Does not crush ice for drinks as well as other reviewers indicated.Overview: Not perfect, but far better than anything else that we have used!
