Waring Commercial WSB40 Quik Stik Plus Immersion Blender with 2-Speed Heavy-Duty Motor, 6-Gallon

Heavy duty blender
I purchased this blender to use in making soap so, unfortunately, I can't use it in "regular" kitchen food preparation. That said, it works GREAT in my large batches of soap and hasn't let me down so far. It's so powerful, that I really can't imagine using it in my everyday cooking as it would pulverize everything (hey, maybe that's a good thing ... ). Anyway, if you're looking for a blender that can handle just about any job, this is the one. (That said, I have to tell you that I found this blender for about $100 less at a "business Costco".)

Big Hand Blender with Long Cord
This hand blender is big, and comes with a 9-foot cord. Two things to beware of are that it has a commercial warranty, and that it's too big to fit the business end in a standard home-sized blender beaker. Please note the commercial warranty is void if the device is purchased for home use. Heeding that though, this hand blender is built like a troop carrier. It even has a nice safety feature, not common to the Waring line, that requires the user press two buttons simultaneously to start it and that the user hold the trigger button to keep it running. The other Waring commercial hand blenders keep running until you push a button, which isn't exactly as safe for the user. I'd buy this hand blender again even knowing I get no warranty as a home user. It'll probably last me 20 years. I didn't buy mine from Amazon, but I'd buy it again, just for the 9-foot cord.

Buyer? Beware!!
The product will and does work as advertised, but people who consider this product should know that

It is not a genuine Waring product.

It's what they call a "sourced" product which means someone else makes it and they put the Waring Commercial name plate on it. Unlike the WSB50 and above products - the 35 and 40 CAN NOT BE REPAIRED. If they fail after the one year warranty they are essentially junk. No parts available, no repair shop, just disposable.

Considering that the entire Waring Commercial line... and in fact the very term "commercial" is supposed to mean that it will last for years and can be repaired as needed, this is a sad low of a once proud line of products.

Just imagine that the box and manual were to read "non repairable, disposable consumer product" and compare to other brands with that in mind.
