Reviews for Waring MX1000XTX Xtreme 3 1/2 hp Commercial Blender with Paddle Controls and 64 oz. Copolyester Container - 120V

Ok, I already wrote a 5 star review for this blender but then I made them take it down because I had a few issues (which have worked themselves out/made sense) and I think I have changed my mind from thinking may 3 star to go back to a 4 star review. PRO: it is pretty heavy duty CON: it does Max out, overheat and shut off PRO: it automatically shuts off when it is getting overheated/maxed out CON: it smelled like it was burning a lot in the beginning (and still does when it maxes out) and one of them would max out way sooner than the other in the beginning. They seem to be more equal now, but one was a total pain in the butt in the beginning. PRO: they ARE pretty durable CON: I think they could be a bit more durable/heavy duty... they talk this blender Read More

Replaced control electronics twice in 18 months. No warranty support since I shipped it out of the US so I am stuck paying $100+ for the part plus shipping. Would not recommend.

Love this blender! It is so much quieter than our last one. It mixes anything you put in it in just a matter of seconds and it's very durable. The pitcher is very lightweight also.

This is a simple machine which can outperform any of the competition if used in the right way. There aren't a lot of frills on this guy: two speeds and a pulse function. He also runs extremely loudly, but the power and effectiveness of the engine can blend through anything if properly used. The Waring MX is cheaper than the fancied up Vitamixes and Blendtecs, but the machinery behind the blender and stand up to and exceed both. If you don't mind a kind of clunky, noisy machine,this is an incredible bargain.

After MANY HOURS of research that included reading reviews, sorting through countless customer comments, and watching way too many videos on various blenders, we decided to go with the Waring MX1000XTX for our busy restaurant's bar. Our verdict after about a week of use? Stop your research and just get it! The first day our bartender prepared our signature 48oz Mexican Bulldog (frozen Margarita with a Corona inverted into it)...in less than FOUR SECONDS--with no bits of ice, in the presence of two die-hard blender fans and they were blown away. No joke, it looked like a majic trick. And those who complain that it is loud must be using it to make smoothies in a closet at 5:00 in the morning! The 64 oz container is a great size for our bar. It will blend one 12oz drink or a full pitcher with the same ease. Now our kitchen staff wants one as well. And you can't beat the great price and service from Webstaurantstore.

This blender is almost frightening. I've been using consumer blenders for a long time, and after having burned out yet another Oster, I figured I'd take the plunge and get something better. I've seriously looked at Blendtec, Vitamix, and the new KitchenAid Diamond series, but they all seemed to have a few pitfalls, and were very expensive. This Waring looked like a great performer, and the many videos of it on-line show that it does an outstanding job. It does. Here are my observations: The base alone is almost as tall as an entire consumer blender (it is BIG). There is a lengthy, heavy-gauge cord. The canister is very heavy as well (the metal of the base and blade assembly is very sturdy). 64 ounces is a LARGE capacity. The width of the jar is such that you don't need a tamping stick. How does it work? Amazingly well.  Read More

This unit truly deserves a 5-star rating. I have had it for six months now, and wish I had bought it years ago. I got the 64 oz. container for larger batches of iced smoothies. It makes the smoothest pureed soups in just a few seconds -- I toss in chunks of cooked chicken thighs, lots of steamed broccoli & cauliflower, and a can of Swansons chicken broth for a thick and creamy puree. It handles the ice for my smoothies and frozen margaritas without a problem (something my other blenders could never do). With all that going on and it doesn't budge from it's place--no walking. It's built like a little tank with minimal moving parts, and I expect it to be in service for a very long time because of the quality materials used in its manufacture. I'm 64, and this Read More

It’s beeen soooo good with us making fresh juices with berries and all different kind of fruits. Very strong smooth and very practical it doesn’t take much room .been veeeeery happy with it I use it every day

I have been using waring blenders for many years and the quality is getting worse and worse. Last month I got a replacement and now it doesn't work well. I just wonder if waring gave refurbished or bad one for replacement. Very disappointed at the quality of the price.

We couldn't be happier with this blender. Its hard working and after a year of use still works perfectly well. I like the way it blends everything very finely, doesn't leave big chunks and makes smooth sauces. The cord is also long - I wish all appliances came with a long cord like this.

We have owned this blender for several years and can't say enough about it. It is an absolute workhorse at our restaurant's busy bar. I just can't see paying several times it's price for other brands that aren't nearly as powerful. As with any product, some who have left negative reviews may have received a lemon. BUT...Webstaurantstore does an amazing job of taking care of issues. We have always been extremely satisfied with their customer service and prompt response to questions/issues, no matter how minor, and that is a big part of what keeps us coming back. You can buy this blender with no reservations. Great investment!

I'm torn on writing and rating this blender. On the one hand we really like how they work and the power they have. They easily blend smoothies and sauces. That is while they are working. We do about 30 smoothies, a day with the blender 5 days a week. In 4 years, between this one and the next step up, the MX1200 we've had 4 or 5 warranty returns withing a year. Fortunately those were covered and we received new units. Two other's we've had lasted about a year and a half before breaking out of warranty. We blend according the the manufactures instructions. It's seems for the price of the blender of this power that they should last longer with the use we put them through. For a blender that is rated for 75+ drinks a day I'm disappointed to say the least. These may last in a residential situation, but they just don't seem to hold up even to light commercial use. Unfortunately we're no long able to recommend these and will be looking for another manufacturer for our blenders.

This thing is a beast! Crushes ice to snow on low in mere seconds. I don't know why I did not purchase this sooner. This blender beats out every high end blender on the market. It blends vegetables for soup (broccoli cheese, tomato) so well that I don't need to add cream, its so incredibly creamy and smooth out of the blender. It's very quick, you can make peanut butter or other nut butters without feeling like you are straining the motor. It powers through it without any extra effort, slowing down or grinding noise. If you are looking at vitamix or anything else there is no comparison. Waring is the way to go. Also Webstaurantstore.com is super fast shipping. I believe I received my blender the next day.

Blender was used 5-7 times a day for fruit smoothies and stoped working in a 3 month. Customer service promised to reply back to me in 48 hours but noting happened. Very disappointed.

it is good to make smoothies and mixed drinks also quickly cleaned after a busy day and it cut the pieces . i recommend it for you

Best blender. I use it for slashing fruit and vegetables for juice. It is about 200 dollars cheaper than other seller. Great buy in general.

Great blender. We use this in a high volume shop and use it everyday. We blend frappe and smoothies super quick and easy. . wish it came with two pitchers. Only negative is that it is loud...

This Waring MX1000XTX is well worth the price! It is strong enough to chop through I cubes and makes fantastic smoothies. It's a great value!

Very powerful blender. Paddle controls give a lot of control to the user. Soft start on the speed control paddle, and instant power on the pulse button. Pour spout is very helpful.

Simply put, this thing is a beast. Makes easy work of the constant flow of frozen cocktails coming out of our bar. Hesitated to buy a second jar until we tested the blender, and ended up getting a second jar right away. Save yourself the hassle and order a second jar from the start, as this blender will not disappoint.

Bought this blender for making smoothies at festivals. This blender is powerful and handles the ice and frozen fruit with no problem. I highly recommend this blender !!

This blender rocks! We make a lot of blended margaritas and this really gets the job done, and quick. The multitude of uses for the blender is also what blows me away. We have done everything from grind coffee to make soups with this!

This commercial blender works great for our thick milkshakes and malts. The motor went bad while still under warranty and Webstaurant was able to ship me a new one within the week.

This is an awesome and powerful blender. The gradual ramp up of the speed is great so it doesn't spray liquids all over the container. Considering this is more powerful than a Vitamix i think this is totally worth it especially considering it is less than half the price. For smoothies at home the i only need 2 speeds. An infinitely variable speed control feature is something that I don't think i ever need. The only problem i have with this blender if that the paddle switches on the front are easy to hit by mistake. I keep the blender on the counter since i make smoothies daily so i frequently knock the ON switch on by accident. Thankfully with the gradual speed ramp up of the motor I hear it speeding up it and turn it off before it gets going too fast. Even with that I would still recommend this blender over a Vitamix any day of the week and twice on sunday.

Best thing I've purchased for my kitchen. Makes smoothies, sauces, whatever creamy and silky without fail. If you love smoothies, making soups, and sauces in your home kitchen or commercial, this is a great investment.

We were torn between this and a popular competitor. We have not been disappointed in our decision. We sale a lot of smoothies that come frozen and the Waring just chew right through them without any difficulty. I had thought about submitting a video, but they require the video to be 30 seconds long and after the short 5-10 seconds of turning a block of frozen ice and fruit into a drink I didn't want to stare into the camera for the other 20 seconds. We use this for all the workhorse blending and could not be more pleased, It doesn't come with a tamper but guess what, a standard tamper we found will do just nicely.

Love this blender. We bought it to make Frappes in our small bakery. It pulverizes 2 cups of ice in less than 5 seconds. Would buy it over an over.

This is THEE BEST commercial blnder! I use this in my home as I burnt out several before purchasing this one. I use it to make smoothies every morning, using frozen fruit this things grinds and blends them up with ease. The first time you use it you will hear and feel the difference from crappy cheap blenders...this one delivers the POWER! Amazing!

It is perfect for making frappes and smoothies in a few seconds the ice melts and leave like snow, with a very nice texture. Of course we recommend

Thisis definitely the best blender we have ever owned!! Frozen drinks, licuados, shakes, pureed soups, salsas, refried beans, we use it for pretty much everything with no problem!

I bought this for home use to make smoothies and other pureed foods because a standard home blender just doesn't get the right consistency. It is incredible! The end result is just what I wanted - when I make green and fruit smoothies I don't have lumps or shreds or ingredients floating in the glass - it's all really "smooth." In lieu of using my food processor I made mashed cauliflower and apple in the blender and the consistency was better than the processor. The jar that comes with this is 64 oz, and that was a little large for daily use, so I also ordered the 48 oz jar. The base and the smaller jar fit in the appliance garage on my counter, and make it convenient for daily use. You can buy the version that has the electronic power buttons with the 48 oz jar, but I wanted the toggle power source, which only comes with the 64 oz jar. It cleans very easily. Well worth the money!

Very powerful but a bit too noisy. We have been using this for frappes and milkshakes and has worked perfectly well. If you don't mind the noise then I will definitely recommend.

We bought this blender for my mom. She loves it. She makes a smoothie in it everyday. It is easy to clean and it is keeping her healthy too!

Great blender! Is powerful and has no problem making smoothies out of whole fruit very quickly. My one and only complaint is that the blender container doesn't "click in" very easily to the base. I usually have to stop and make sure it's in- which can be frustrating during a busy rush. Other than that, works very well!

Have been using this model for years and has provided us with great results. Made from great material. Easy to wash. Great price and fast shipping. Would recommend to any restaurant or business. Overall all 10

Very, very powerful blender used at our bar to crush ice for mixed drinks. It's a bit loud, but no noisier than any other blender that I've used and many of those have less power. Really like that the pitcher/container is not heavy glass but a lighter and sturdier plastic product.

Love this blender! It is much quieter than any other brand. and the price is very reasonable. you just need to put in the flavors and fruit, and few seconds it done become smoothie.

After an extensive research, I had high hopes for this blender, however, it was very disappointing to find out that it sheds small black particles into food. I thought that it would wear off after some use and thorough washing but no such luck. I've purchased an extra container and they both had the same problem. If you search for blender shedding online, you will learn that Waring is not the only one with the problem. Overall it's a powerful machine and I wish the company would fix the issue with the blade assembly. On a positive note, WebstaurantStore customer service was amazing. I had few phone conversations with them while trying to resolve the problem and was able to return the product without any issues.

Blender quit after 2 months of very little use. Just coming into frozen drink season and started using it a few times a day, getting a refund hopefully. I've been waiting 2 mos. for a refund on sales tax so who knows.

This is a powerful, fabulous blender! I was also looking at a Blendtec and after doing the research, this models seemed like as good (if not better) and was less expensive. I highly recommend this for home use.
