Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Waring PBB2 Professional Bar Blender
Customer Review: A Great Blender!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I've had this blender for 4 years already. I originally purchased it from Amazon based on the reviews from the others that I read and I have been extremely happy with it.
This is definitely a lot to pay for a blender, but if you think about the cost of replacement blenders, it's probably cheaper in the long run. I've been burned too many times in the past by buying cheaper appliances only to have them fall apart after a few months, thus forcing me to buy a new one. Besides, a good blender is something that encourages you to use it because it makes a good mixed drink/smoothie. If it doesnt make you want to use it, it's probably not the one for you.
It only has two settings: high and low, but in reality that's all I need. If you want it smoother, you can just put it in longer. I always put all sorts of frozen fruit and ice into it and this thing just powers through it. The motor is extremely strong.
Pros: The stainless steel is extremely durable and unbreakable. I kept chipping my old glass ones on the sink when it would fall over. Also makes extremely smooth drinks. I received a lot of compliments from others who were impressed by how smooth the frozen drinks come out.
Cons: The cost is extremely high relative to other blenders, but you get what you pay for. Also, this blender is extremely loud. Luckily that only lasts for a few seconds as it blenderizes the frozen parts. Then it's just as loud as a vacuum cleaner. One other thing is that it only makes about 2 glasses. You can't exactly make a ton of drinks for a lot of people at one time. But if you're only looking to make one or two glasses at a time, this is perfect.
I did have a problem with the bottom of the stainless steel container getting loose after 3 years. I just tightened it by hand and it was as good as new. I suspect it was all of the use from the blade spinning just eventually loosened it, but that only took me a few minutes to tighten it.
Also, cleaning it can be sort of a pain since the steel container is pretty narrow especially at the bottom and difficult to clean with the blades down there. So I just put in some water and add some soap then turn it on for a few seconds and let it blend for a few seconds. That usually cleans it up right away.
All in all, this is a great blender and I'd recommend this to anybody who can afford to buy an expensive blender that will last a long time and make great smooth frozen drinks/smoothies.
