WaringCommercial MX1050XTX 3.5 HP Blender with Electronic Keypad Controls, Pulse Feature and a 64 oz. BPA Free Copolyester Container, 120V, 5-15 Phase Plug

This thing is the bomb. Smooth velvety smoothies. A must have for vegans. I bought the stainless container version and it is .... badass. I feel like it is made for grinding rocks. Indestructible. Waring must have listened to all people complaining about black specs, because I did the clear water test several times: no black specs or any particulate if any kind. I don't see any black sealant either. Just stainless container with a stainless blade assembly. Amazing machine.

This is a truly awesome blender! For those who doubt a higher grade of blender, this one can thoroughly blend frozen fruit, ice cubes, etc. with no problems. Also, this is a slow start model, which means better and more thorough grinding. Very happy with this blender!On the negative, yes, it is loud, but what do you expect with that much power? Read: do not use when the kids are asleep.

I purchased this blender for its impressive power and ability to blend ice smoothly, which it does exceptionally well. It handles tough ingredients with ease, making it great for smoothies and frozen drinks. However, I have encountered a recurring issue with reliability. On multiple units, the blender would break down, with electric sparks appearing at the base accompanied by a burnt rubber smell, requiring replacements. While performance is strong when it works, the frequent malfunctions are concerning and inconvenient. I would recommend this blender for its blending capabilities, but caution buyers about potential durability issues.

Replaces the dying one we've had for years

I really wanted a high-speed blender but did NOT want the plastic blender jar that comes with the majority of them. (Food heats up in a high speed blender and it’s never a goood idea to heat food in plastic. Also, I’ve seen how the plastic jars get very scratched and clouded over time.) So, I was thrilled to find this blender. The price is comparable or better than the VitaMix and it blends just as well — my smoothies no longer have tiny bits of kale in them and nuts turn to nut butter very quickly! A few minor things you may want to be aware of:- I don’t love the blender lid. It’s a soft, almost greasy looking plastic that I’m guessing is PVC. It reeked of chemicals when I took it out of the box, so I had to let it offgas in the sun for a few days. (I used to have a Bosch stainless steel blender jar that had a rigid plastic lid, which worked great and didn’t stink. I wish the manufacturer would consider that here.)- This is a commercial product and wasn’t designed for good looks. The blender jar is sleek and industrial, but the base is fairly ugly sitting on the counter.- The instructions do not say whether the blender jar and lid are dishwasher safe. Based on a couple of product answers provided on this Amazon product page, I’ve been putting mine in the dishwasher, and so far it seems fine. [Editing 2 years later to add: The aluminum base of the blender jar has now become pitted from being put in the dishwasher regularly. (That’s common with aluminum.) It still works fine, but this may reduce its lifespan, and it looks bad. I’d now recommend hand washing.]Overall, I’m glad I purchased this and it works well. I hope manufacturers will continue to consider using non-toxic materials with food-contact kitchen appliances. This product is certainly a step in the right direction.

I rarely leave reviews but the this blender. I have to say something. Due to my health condition, I have to use it to blend food multiple times per day. And it is still blending as the first day I bought it. The only part I need to replace over years is the jar.Really hard to find things continuing to function years after years these days. Highly recommended.

I run a smoothie shop and these blenders are hands down the best out there. People always comment about how great our texture is of our shakes. The canister is virtually indestructible. Went 5 years without having to replace these blenders. That’s great when it’s your business.

very powerful and easy to use... saves time and the result is perfect. one of my downside is that when we brought it to another country to use the blender is 110v and we have to find a transformer to convert it from 220v to 110v.it would be best if it is an autovolt from 100-240v.
