Waring Commercial Glass Bar Blender, 1/2 Horsepower Two-Speed Motor with 40 oz Glass Container, for Bars & Nightlife Commercial Use, NSF Certified, BB900G

Very well thought out design without all the bells and whistles you don’t need! I look forward to using it for years! It’s made very well with a very thick glass carafe that has slack on the stand so you don’t ware out any gears…….smart!

This is my second Waring blender. The first was a gift and lasted for 25 years. The motor still worked in the old one but at the time a part was broken and was cost prohibitive to replace. After trying another blender for a few years I went back to this model Waring as it should last me the rest of my life.

EDIT: We tested the metals INSIDE the container as well. While the fins didn’t show positive, the metal used on the base of the container ALSO tested positive for lead. See screenshot. STAY AWAY from this blender! We bought the BB900G blender (which uses this container) around 6 months ago because it used glass instead of plastic, which (we thought) made it safer to use and truly dishwasher safe. The metal fins on the bottom of the container had a different color on them that reminded me of the color of lead, so on a hunch I bought lead testing swabs on Amazon and tested it. Almost immediately the color turned to a rich purple. The blender worked well besides this, but I am throwing this out and switching to another one because of this issue.

The design and control is so simple, but this glass blender works so well. I purchased the cuisineart old model and Hamilton glass ones before, but their engine were just not strong enough for my desired smoothie compared to the plastic pricy blenders. So glad to find a glass one!!! No more micro plastic!

This is my first review I've ever made and I'm doing it because this product deserves all the respect it deserves. With so much waste of raw materials and conscious overload of plastic mill that is sold to the human body. Is this product really the best for the environment and the body? I'm so proud of waring, who really put a lot of effort into developing a product that is good for people. Thank you and I am proud to have bought such a device. I hope that over time there will be many other products on the market that are just as good as this one. I would choose to buy this product again anytime. It is worth the money.

Timeless

I am an avid cook and I love this blender. It is just the right size for me, looks beautiful and works effortlessly. I have made sauces and drinks and smoothies with it. The blades have had no trouble with frozen fruit of many varieties. In less than 15 seconds I make a smoothie each morning. I love the glass container as it is easy to clean and healthier than plastic. I use an immersion blender to purée soups so I would have no comment on that with this blender. Please do not compare with a Vitamix, that is a whole other type of blender and 4 times the price to get a good model. This blender is on the essentials list of the Barefoot Contessa’s website highlighting essential kitchen tools. I love it!

Meh, it's ok. Minimalist design and glass container is great, as well as doesn't take up much counter space. But when it comes to actual operations, it falls short. Two speeds are ok, but it doesn't totally mix well often resulting in the need to scrape the sides of the glass container which fits loosely at the base. At this price point, I would expect better performance and doubt would purchase again.
