Product DescriptionWaring Pro 3. 0 HP Blender heavy duty, 30,000+ RPM’s. Great for Soups, Salsas, sauces, desserts, dressings and beverages!Amazon. com ReviewJust the size and weight of this blender indicates it is a professional grade workhorse. Weighing 15 pounds and standing 19 inches tall, with an oversized base measuring 9 inches square, the blender takes on a prodigious appearance. The supercharged three-horsepower motor and large blades will crush ice with ease and smoothly blend fruit drinks and soups. Only two speeds, high and low, are available, which should cover most needs. The pulse feature is ideal for creating large-particle foods such as homemade salsa and gazpacho. Squared in shape, the tough polycarbonate pitcher features a very generous nonslip handle and holds 64 ounces of cold liquid, less if hot. The flexible lid presses tightly in place and features a central clear cap that turns and releases to open for adding foods. Two paddle-shape switches make operation easy even if hands are wet. The removable pad that covers the top of the blender base to add nonslip cushioning for the pitcher can be tossed in the dishwasher for cleaning. The four broad legs of the blender are also made of nonslip material to help prevent sliding and make pick-up secure. Because the blade assembly does not unscrew from the pitcher for separate cleaning, the blender pitcher should be washed thoroughly with hot soapy water and a soft scrub brush after each use. Waring covers the blender with a two-year warranty against defects. –Ann Bieri

Product DescriptionKALORIK 2 SL TOASTER 2 TABLE MATS BREAD BASKET TGAmazon. com ReviewBandleader and inventor Fred Waring introduced the first blender in 1936; more than 60 years later the Waring blender remains the standard for the field. Tall and old-fashioned looking with a plated metallic finish on its base, this blender will crush ice and blend frozen fruit beautifully in a few seconds. This blender feels sturdy: the lid, with a cap that doubles as a 1-ounce measurer, fits securely, and the pitcher, made of thick, ridged glass, won’t wobble. Many chefs prefer a blender rather than a food processor for soups and creamy sauces–the blades of a good blender whirl more quickly than those of a food processor and will refine a thin liquid such as cream of tomato soup to an incomparably silky texture. This blender is definitely up to that task. The fixed, self-cleaning stainless-steel blades on the base of the pitcher mean the lid is the only separate part to wash. –Maria Dolan

Product DescriptionMetrokane’s 1009 Citrus Power Juicer is the world’s most powerful mechanical Juicer with more than twice the leverage of other professional juicers. It’s the “easiest squeeze on Earth” for oranges, grapefruit, limes and lemons. Amazon. com ReviewThe most powerful of all Metrokane’s manual juicers, this one exerts more than 1,000 pounds of pressure, which means it’s also the most effortless to use. Limes, lemons, oranges, and grapefruit give up every drop of juice with just a swing of the lever. A stainless-steel pouring pitcher catches and pours the juice, and the stainless-steel cone and funnel remove for easy cleaning. Topping the scales at 10 pounds, due to the durable all-metal body, and standing 20 inches tall, the Citrus Power needs a good, clear space for operation and storage. The juicer is beautifully finished in polished chrome, and makes a superb gift for the fresh juice aficionado. Metrokane covers the Citrus Power with a lifetime warranty on moving parts. –Ann Bieri

Product DescriptionKALORIK 2 SL TOASTER 2 TABLE MATS BREAD BASKET TGAmazon. com Review Bandleader and inventor Fred Waring introduced the first blender in 1936; more than 60 years later the Waring blender remains the standard for the field. With this stainless-steel, black bar blender, the company has captured perfectly the sleek, modern look of its first models. The perfect cocktail party appliance, it doesn’t just look good but has a strong, efficient (though slightly noisy) motor that zips through ice and frozen strawberries. The metal keeps drinks cold longer, too. The blade is nondetachable, so you never need to worry about the seal deteriorating. The stainless-steel container is also perfect for a classic diner-style milkshake. –Maria Dolan Editor’s Choice:Waring’s professional bar blender only has two speeds, high and low, and it doesn’t need any more, which is why it’s our choice for best blender over $100. This 350-watt blender is really for professional bartenders, but it’s also a dream for the home user that plans on blending often, or on blending a lot of ice or frozen drinks. The blades are stainless steel, as is the 32-ounce jug.
