5.0 out of 5 stars Great Smoothie Maker, August 28, 2006

By	C. Martinez "Mixed Drink Queen" (San Luis Obispo, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently replaced my broken Kitchen Aid Professional Blender with the Waring Pro Retro Blender. I LOVE this appliance. It's sleek styling looks great on my countertop and it crushes ice in mere seconds. I have made thick smoothies that fill almost the entire glass jar and the Waring has no problem blending ice and frozen fruit. I have read some negative reviews of this blender and I am truly mystified by them. I have tried many different brands and no blender comes close to this one in terms of blending power and pure aesthetics.

2.0 out of 5 stars Broke down after 2 months, December 24, 2006

By	Liese A. Thomas "swimmom" (Bartlett, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this blender to make fruit smoothies (mostly strawberry) for my athletic husband and son. I bought a "top-of-the-line" because I knew it would get heavy use. It worked perfectly for about 2 months, and then I had to take it in to the authorized repair shop in our city for a new blade assembly because it no longer blended the frozen fruit; this was done under warranty at no cost to me. The repairman said to add the liquid first, and then add the fruit through the hole in the lid while the motor was running because the blades don't grind frozen fruit--they cause it to "explode". I took the repaired blender home, where it made 2 or 3 good fruit smoothies before going back to its old trick of not blending the frozen fruit again. It will still make shakes with ice cream and the like, but forget the fruit smoothies. So I guess I'll be going back to the repair shop and seeing what can be done--or asking for a replacement.
