Features

Waring MBB518
Professional Quality Blender

The base on the Waring Professional Bar Blender MBB Series blender is heavy-duty and houses a very impressive 390 watt, 2 speed motor. This is not the most powerful motor around but will do most tasks in the kitchen, including crush ice.

On the outside 2 colors are available bright copper or stainless steel. Both colors look great on this blender but if you are looking for something a little different then the bright copper will do the job.

The stainless steel blades are housed in the base of the 40 ounce pitcher and self cleaning resulting in a good all round blender for the price.

Advantages

A beautiful looking heavy duty base sets the tone for the Waring Professional Bar Blender MBB Series blender.

The choice of either bright copper (MBB520) or stainless steel (MBB518) colored base is an advantage and do set the blender apart from others.

The self cleaning blades, which are set in the base of the 40 ounce trademark cloverleaf carafe, are another plus to this blender, along with a Five Year Limited Motor Warranty and One Year Limited Appliance Warranty.

Disadvantages

It seems the Waring Pro Professional Blender MBB Series blender has a problem with the threaded shaft attached to the blades, not a good thing to have snap, particularly if you are blending. A small motor can be a problem, particularly in heavy use and it has been reported to burn out if crushing hard foods, such as coffee or ice.

Inside the base the wiring used appears to be of a thin gauge and can be prone to snapping after time. The higher price might put most people off purchasing this blender, as for the same price you may be able to purchase a better quality blender.

Summary

On the whole it seems Waring have produced a blender that is both good and bad depending on who you listen to. The good points tend to outweigh the negative points, but the final choice must still be yours alone.

The Waring Professional Blender MBB Series blender is a little more expensive than some comparative models, considering the specifications of this blender. However, the manufacturers are willing to offer a lengthy warranty period on the motor and a 12 month warranty on the appliance itself, so in the event of something going wrong with your blender, it is possible to have the parts repaired or replaced relatively easily.
