Xtreme Hi-Power Waring Commercial Blender w/ 48 oz. BPA Free Carafe

    Exceptional Blender - Fantastic power and speed. Coming from a standard retail/big-box blender, the performance is totally unbelievable! It requires a cleaning cycle after each use. There is water leakage around the center cap on cleaning cycle. (Thicker mixes do not leak.) Not at all well designed for that. The plastic jar is getting cloudy at the base where ice is flung by blades. Fix the cap insert leak and it could not be better!

    Xtreme Hi-Power Waring Commercial Blender w/ 48 oz - I purchased this Waring blender last summer after much research. I was looking for a blender that was strong enough to make "smooth" smoothies. I was originally looking a the VitaMix and BlendTec blenders, but I wasn't willing to pay $500 for a blender. I believe one of them was too tall to fit under standard kitchen cabinets too. I saw that the Waring Xtreme was equally as powerful for $350. I am very happy with my decision. It makes smooth, creamy smoothies and seems to blend effortlessly. I make veggie and fruit smoothies, so it is hard to find a blender that doesn't leave it chunky. It is also easy to clean and fits on the counter under the cabinets. I love it!
