Waring Pro Blender Review Model MBB
Historic Design and Easy To Use

The Waring Pro Blender was one of the first blenders ever created, back in the 1930's, and over time has perfected its design. This model is stable and dependable.

GoBlendIt Editor's Rating: 3.5 out of 5.0

GoBlendit Editor's Review

The Waring Pro Blender MBB offers some nice basic features and appears to be a stable blender that takes care of most tasks you'll need it for. The setting controls make it very easy to use and simple to operate. However, we'd like to see a little more power in the motor (only 390 watts) at this price point ($100+). If you plan on using your blender primarily for smoothies and like them very smooth, no small ice balls, then you may want to look at something a little more powerful.
