This is a great juicer. It has a strong motor with little vibration.Easy to use can juice fruits(apples,grapes,etc) and vegetables. One of the nice features is easy clean up, a small brush will help expidite all pulp clean up.Juicer assembly very easy to set up and tear down. A well made machine with all the health benefits of a good juicer.

This is without a doubt the best item I've ever purchased.
I hate sounding like a commercial, but I honestly don't know how I got along without it. It absolutely liquidfies everything!
It's an AMAZING Blender and I strongly urge anyone who is looking for a Blender to purchase this one.

Waring PBB210 Professional Bar Blender-Waring

As an ex-bartender and ice cream parlor manager, I am particular about my shakes and smoothies. The two speeds are sufficient for anything as the 390 watt moter handles all I toss into the carafe. I like the 40 oz, clear carafe better than the 32 oz stainless steel version, (the extra eight ounces makes for quicker social bartendering), because you can watch your beverage develop and the handle makes for easy pouring.

I have used the Waring PCJ218 juicer for the past 6 months. I juice on average 10 oranges each day. I can state without reservation that this is a good looking, well made, powerful juicer. How good is it? I have purchased 2 additional PCJ218 juicers as gifts. Do I know what I'm talking about? I design machinery for a living. Rarely do I find consumer products to be worthy of praise. This juicer is a real gem at a reasonable price.

At first I thought it was a lot of money for the juicer, but when I made my first glass of juice, I realized that I had a lot of juicer for the money.

This juicer is very sturdy, has a powerful motor, and cleaning up is incredibly quick and easy. The pouring spout is able to accommodate my tallest glasses. It is a well-designed piece of machinery that I expect to have for a very long time.

I highly recommend this juicer.

There are two very important things a juicer should do. 1) extract all the juice and b)clean up easily. This juicer does both. The manufacturer calls it slow, but I saw it as very powerful. By the time I juiced my second lemon, I was a pro happily throwing out completely empty half lemon rinds. It costs a little more than some of the other models, but it's also built to last. I'll probably end up having to put it in my will.

This blender has been completely satisfying. It crushes ice consistantly and thoroughly. My smoothies alwalys come out like silk. I use the blender several times a day, and the motor hasn't burned out. The steel adds a unique touch while leaving me fearless of broken glass. And, the warrenty that comes with it is a comfort in the event I have problems with the unit. I highly recommend this product for it's quality, distinctiveness, and dependability.

I make smoothies with frozen fruit on a daily basis, and in the summer I also make a lot of daquiris, so a heavy-duty blender is vital to me. Although I've only had this Waring PBB blender for a week, I'm very impressed. It blends frozen bananas better than the KitchenAid Ultra Power 5-speed blender I own, doing the job in just seconds and leaving absolutely no chunks! (I had taken to partially-thawing the fruit for my KitchenAid.) I think that may be because the Waring has a smaller (40 oz) container, although they claim that the cloverleaf shape is also a factor. It crushes ice well, too. I also like the way it looks, although it is VERY yellow. Since I've burned out the motors on two KitchenAids, the 5-year warranty on the Waring motor is a big plus. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this one lasts!

Hi. If you're like me, you've killed more than you care to count blenders in your life time. You know that a good margarita requires finely chopped ice without lumps! You've probably cut up a few of those rubber things that come with the other blenders because you put it together wrong. It's embarrasing when your guest sees chopped up grey rubber in their margarita glass. Let's not forget the numerous parts to those other blenders and when your toddler runs off with one of the parts, never to be found again. Well, the Waring PBB25 Professional Bar Blender does away with all those unnecessary complications in your life. I ordered this blender and gave it to myself for christmas. Let me tell you, I love this blender! I love this blender! I love this blender! It's beautiful, it's a single unit with no parts (except for the lid), no rubber thingys, it's powerful, it's affordable, and best of all, it makes the best margaritas, the best chocolate shakes, and the best diet/protein shakes. The only problem is that my five kids love it as well. ;-)

Our daughter loves fruit smoothies more than anything, so we ordered the Waring Drink Mixer for her for Christmas. When we opened it up to set it up on Christmas Eve, there was no mixing cup in the box. It may be a good product, but poor customer service ruined her Christmas morning...

I read the reviews about how great this thing looks in ebony, and decided to check it out for myself (buying one from Amazon). The electrical cord is WHITE, sticking out the bottom SIDE of this BLACK mixer. What an eyesore. If you happen to have a white countertop ... no big deal. If not, be prepared to struggle to get the oversized cord redirected out under the bottom back of this thing. Kudos to the design engineer at Waring that approved this debacle.

I got a deal on this one (clearance) but it's worth the full purchase price. The main thing that sold me was the fact that the whipping blade (agitator) is metal. All the other drink mixers I've seen have a cheap plastic agitator and I've heard stories about them chipping/breaking off which made me very hesitant, even though I've wanted one for a long time. This [one] will not chip or shatter...in fact it did a good job of nicking up my favorite 18/10 stainless steel spoon I was using to stir my first milkshake while it was mixing! It's a solid, well-built addition to your kitchen whether you use it once a month or 10 times a day. (It also looks great next to my KitchenAid mixer.)

Weak, very hard to clean and messy. Total waste of money. I own it for a couple of months and looking to replace it. The only good thing about this product is design. Is is pretty cool. If you're looking to decorate you kitchen and not going to make any juice, go ahead and buy it, otherwise pass it on.

Since purchasing this extractor 6 weeks ago, I have used this on a daily basis. Ease of clean-up was critical in the selection process and I haven't been disappointed. Aesthetically, this machine looks nice on the kitchen counter and the stainless steel cup eliminates any worries about ending up with yellowed, stained plastic parts.

If you're interested in making primarily OJ, this may not be the right juicer for you, though. If you're juicing strictly oranges, you'll have to empty out the pulp basket after 2 oranges. Any more than two and this is the one scenario that will make this juicer leak. I have found that by alternating oranges with apples or carrots, I can juice 6+ oranges in one session.

Fortunately, our local discount club started selling these for 1/2 of retail so I got a great deal. Regardless, this would have been an excellent purchase.

This juicer has performed very well. I like the stainless steel cup (no juice stains). The motor very powerful (400 amps) and is holding up well; I've juiced lot's of fruits and veggies so far. The strainer is a snap to clean (I recommend you use an old tooth-brush instead of the brush they give you). Cleaning the pulp after use is also a snap.

Cucumbers, apples, and pears go through very easily. Red beets take a little work. Carrots are easy, but make up the majority of the pulp. Also, too many carrots will clog up the pores in the strainer (so be careful) Romain lettuce and parsley are a little tricky. I recommend folding and juicing it first, then any fruits later. I tried cabbage; big mistake (it stinks). And, do not mix grapefruit with any veggie juice (the high acid with veggie juice tastes aweful after a few days in the fridge and is just bearable fresh).

Overall, and excellent addition to my lifestyle.

This expensive yuppie blender may look good, but it isn't built very well. Ours literally burned up the second time we used it making margaritas and a friend of ours has had to have hers fixed twice. Don't be fooled like I was thinking that this thing is expensive and looks heavy duty so it must be good, it isn't.

We used this blender probably a total of 5 times before the metal base FUSED to the motor!!!! It literally became FUSED!! Now, we thought all we had to do was order the base part from the Waring company. No, they don't sell that part. I was told by the Waring customer service people that I would have to take the blender to be serviced. Ha! Like I'm going to spend $45 to repair a BLENDER! We are buying a new one....needless to say it won't be a Waring blender.

The Waring Professional Bar Blender is all the blender I will ever need. Smoothies are now easy to whip up and a snap to clean up. To top it off, the stainless steel model I purchased looks great on the countertop. The motor (390 watts) has plenty of power for crushing ice and making frothy drinks. Waring blenders exude high quality.

Certainly there are more powerful blenders. Vita-Mix and Waring's Mega Pro are two such examples. Nevertheless, one would be hard pressed to justify the added expense of either machines for the average home. Kitchen Aid puts out a slightly more powerful blender (500 watts). But I have used both and for my money, Waring produces more consistent results for a wide variety of blending applications.

The cloverleaf glass jar is sturdy and easy to clean. I had some reservations about buying glass with a stainless steel version available but to my surprise, I actually prefer it. It is often necessary to have the contents visable(not possible with the steel jar) while blending to ensure a consistently smooth texture or to prevent overblending.

I recommend this product highly.

I have owned this juicer for over a year now and have had to change the blade twice. It does a good job most of the times, but when you start mixing soft and hard fruits and vegetables simultaneously and in a certain order, the unit will start vibrating to the point where the blade will make contact with the metal column where vegetables/fruits are introduced. The result: the maching will grind the blade and damage the performance of it. Try the following combination: apple, carrots, and grapes. Say bye bye to your blade.... (a $40 value).
