This is a real blender
I bought this to replace a Kitchen Aid.
The Kitchen Aid uses a coupler on top of the motor which spins the blade that's made out of rubber over metal which will break if you make lots of frozen fruit drinks. That's what I had happen.
The Waring uses the same type of design, but the difference is that you can buy a replacement ($5.95) and put it on yourself with a wrench If it were to ever come apart. The Kitchen Aid has to be serviced, take apart the motor to get to it from the inside etc.
This Waring Blender is very powerful! It's loud and spins very fast. Which makes it blend in a fraction of the time of others. It makes my old Kitchen-Aid seem like a childs toy in comparison.
It's much more obviously commercial through heft, simplicity of design and function and servicability.
It has only 2 speeds. Professional chefs say that's all you need. it has a simple toggle switch, no multiple speed electronic gimmics. Just very functional.

Note: You don't load the thing up with frozen fruit or else it may just jam and won't spin. Also you're supposed to drop the ice in from the top while it's running.

Daily user - fruit smoothies for breakfast
Over the past 3 years, we have owned a 'commercial quality' KitchenAid with a stainless steel pitcher and a high end Oster unit.
Neither blended milk, frozen fruit, soy powder, and cottage cheese properly. The Kitchen Aid always left a blob of non-blended material plus chunks of fruit in the bottom.
We purchased the Waring Mega-Mix 5 months ago after reading the reviews on Amazon.com. We use it at least once daily.
Pluses:
1. Blends frozen or fresh fruit amazingly quickly and completely.
2. Mixes powders, fluids, and solids completely and efficiently.
3. Incredibly powerful motor
4. Polycarbonade pitcher is light weight and seems very strong.
5. High quality construction and commercial look to it.
Minuses:
1. Initially offered us a 'burnt' odor for the first 3 weeks of use (Amazon reviews warned of this)
2. Very noisy! I have adopted a one hand over one ear and...
