Waring has been a household name in quality appliances, particularly blenders, for decades. The company began when Fred Waring, noted bandleader, was pitched the idea for a blender back in 1938. As he toured with his orchestra, he demonstrated the blender to anyone who would watch, and from there the 4-cup Blending Jar with chrome base and a single on/off switch went into production. Serious looking but simple to operate, MegaMix makes blending a pleasure. Built for professional bars, commercial kitchens, and smoothie shops, the MegaMix commercial blender by Waring is the choice when only the best will do. Waring puts a full horse of extra power into this blender to crush ice and pulverize frozen ingredients in a matter of seconds. A real time saver, this blender is a workhorse that can blend soups and sauces, as well as ice, slushy drinks, and ice-cold smoothies. The 27,000-RPM motor runs much faster than other blenders, allowing you to prepare shakes, pina coladas, and favorite coffee drinks in record Powerful, sturdy, and frill-free, the Waring Mega Mix commercial bar blender puts function first and foremost. Equipped with a one-horsepower, commercially rated motor, the unit delivers quick ice crushing and consistent blending of drinks, desserts, soups, and sauces. Operation is as simple as it gets-one metal toggle controls the two speeds-and the four-angle blades turn up to 27,000 rpm. Designed for both hot and cold ingredients, the durable 48-ounce plastic container features a broad base for tip-resistance and a flexible lid with a removable insert. Markings in ounces and liters help you track recipes. Cooks accustomed to a tight connection between container and base may find the Waring’s fit unusual at first-the container simply rests on the clutch instead of locking on. Fitted with non-skid feet and a heavy-duty three-prong cord, the blender measures 6 inches in diameter and stands 16-1/2 inches high. It carries a five-year warranty on the motor and a one-year warranty on the rest of the appliance. -Emily Bedard.
