Waring WSB65 Big Stik 18" Variable Speed Immersion Blender - 1 HP

this was our go to immersion blender for the past several years. a unit usually lasted 3+ years. we just had one die 1 month from the one year warranty and i was told it wouldn't be replaced because it was used to blend soups and is not capable of soups--only sauces and condiments--blending soups with this guy voids the warranty.

this is really big and high speed , i make mayonise with it in my house but now i took it to my store to make different thing with it, because its big for home use

I use this blender to mix up large batches of organic peanut butter. The oil separated and lays on top and the rest is solid. The only way to get a smooth consistency is to use this blender. Plus, waring is great to work with if I ever would have a problem with their product

I love this immersion blender so much! We use one in our restaurant kitchen, but I also got one for home use. Excellent quality product. Well made and very handy and efficient. Highly recommend.

This product has been working great for about 7 months...now it's sputtering and doesn't stay at a consistent speed, I have to hold the speed dial at 9 for it to work properly. It's used to blend milks together and I do work with some powders so I even vacuum out the top area to ensure there is no dust particles blocking anything but that doesn't help. I'll be reaching out to Webstaurant for help.

Works well and fast. Use for most of the mixing in our kitchen and is very reliable. Well built product, and no complaints. Good stuff!

This is a medium length stick blender. We use this to mix items in our food safety 5 gallon buckets. If you need to mix items in that size container or slightly smaller, it is perfect. If you mix in large stainless pots you may need to go a little longer.

We purchased2 of this after burning out smaller one witch we use daily. This immersion blender easily handles purées making a smooth product with no lumps. Storage and cleaning are easy because the shaft is removable. This is an immersion blender that we use every daily in our restaurant.

Bought this variable speed mixer to mix sauces and make mashed potatoes. It's a good size for me but a little heavy for some of my staff. Variable speed is great for mixing sauces and blending creams, but it's a bit under powered when attached to the Waring WSB2W 10" Whisk. I have to run at full power to mash 15kg of potatoes, and it feels noticeably over-worked at this quantity. I'd say this is it's limit. But for soups and sauces, even thick BBQ sauce, it's perfect. Compared to more expensive brands I've demoed, this model is a great buy. If I were to buy again, I'd get a larger one only to whisk larger pots of mashed potatoes.

This was one of the best purchases I ever made for my soap making company. We used it for making 25# cold process soap batches, shampoo and hair conditioner. It is powerful and reliable. We'd set it up in a 5-gal stainless steel pot and let it run until that lye to oil contact was going good. It turned a several hour process into about 5 minutes. Hair conditioner required some cooling down time so we'd run it for 30 minutes or so to mix while it cooled, then off and on. It is a little difficult at first to figure out how to turn it on. There is a button you push and seems like there is some magic combination to get it going. After you figure that out it works great. You won't be able to live without it.

After using the WSB40 for a year and burning thru 2 of them we decided to upgrade to the WSB50. VERY happy with our purchase, we love the versatility of the removable/exchangable shaft and the increased power of the motor. Plus after shopping around Webstaurant had the most solid price ESPECIALLY if ordering multiple items (save on shipping)

Most valuable tool in the kitchen, soup & sauces are perfectly pureeded. Outstanding, easy to use & clean, kitchen staff uses this product every day

This 16" blender is a wonder! I use it frequently for blending handmade soap til ready to pour. It saves me time, does not overheat, has a variable speed and is super easy to clean. The little ones for drinks cannot begin to hold a candle to this one! Highly recommended!

Works great a reliable for my kitchen

I really wanted to like this immersion blender, but it's just too much power. We are a growing restaurant/kitchen making all of our dressings, aioli's, soups and custards from scratch. When our last "commercial" immersion blender began to slowly fail, I researched, trying to find the best for our needs, and ordered this unit. Although most of my staff are 6' and over, they all admit that this unit is just too big for our applications. When attempting to use it for large batch custards, it required 2 people to have hands on to not create a huge mess. I need to find something capable of meeting our growing needs, but not this large.

This is our third immersion blender in 19 years and is by far our favorite. Easy to use for our sauces and dressings; easy to store and easy to clean. It's very sturdy

love this thing! total workhorse and easy to use.

Dissapointing. In use for 6 months for blending salsas and it sounds like a gas engine running out of gas. Started with plenty of power but now strugles to keep from dying.

Had one that lasted years and like others that have reviewed this mine broke within a couple of months. Reached out about warranty replacement and never heard back. Would not buy. Save up and buy a Robot Coup brand immersion blender.

This is really a good emulsion blender. All you need to do is make sure you take care of it and do not abuse it. If you clean it regularly and properly and do not let stuff get into the motor area it should be just fine. Although thicker sauces or thicker products will make it harder to run so you might need to watch out for overheating.
