Nuwave Infinity Commercial Blender, Heavy-Duty Smoothie Blender | 2.5HP Copper Motor & Laser-Cut Blades, Quick Ice Crushing, NSF Certified, 10 Speeds, Self-Cleaning

Shockingly the best blender we have ever owned in almost 2 decades! I was very hesitant to purchase due to the reasonable price - Though was how can it compete with a 2K commercial blender? Or an $800 Vitamix? It out performs them all at a fraction of the cost its truely remarkable! We have been making smoothies almost daily for 15 years - Have owned many blenders over the years Blendtec, pro line Vita-Mix, 2K Warring Commercial units and Kuvings Commercial Vac Blender. These all range in price from 700-2K. This blender is better than them all! - almost perfect here is where it outperforms in design and function. PROS - - So far we have run 16 full smoothie containers @ 30 seconds each one after another without overheating and shutting down via the thermal protection designed to keep the motor safe. For comparison the Vitamix shuts down for almost and hour after 2 blends which makes it unusable and the worst blender we have owned. Brand new and had to take it to goodwill as I would not gift such a trash heap to someone I care about. This review isn't about them but I include for reference as its so popular expensive and useless. I suspect the older models were probably better as the Motor base on the Nuwave is 3x the weight of the newer Vitamix Pro line. The Blendtec has been our daily driver for over a decade and it still runs sadly they dont make that model any longer hence the dive into different brands for a backup. - Container design is pro level - Lid locks onto the top preventing blow off volcanoes in your kitchen. Pour spout is better than the others we have owned. Its not perfect as you need to pour slow when full as its a little small. The plus is it does not drip down the front side making a mess while filling containers. All the other blenders we have used make a mess when pouring. Very large capacity - it holds more than 64 oz leave so leave some room. The only time it tripped the thermal protection is when we first used it and filled it up to the very top with too much fruit. - Stability - Motor is very robust and that weight and the jar design make it so that you can blend a full jar without holding onto the jar or blender. - Motor - Very powerful with properly set thermal protection. We have only tripped it a couple times and it was our fault because we overloaded the jar. Resets in 5-10 Minutes which is usable. We just leave 1.5" at the top and its no longer an issue. -Overall design. The selector knob makes it easy to use and everything is very easy to clean up. Cons- -No drain hole in the base of to allow water to drain out in the dishwasher. Easily remedied with a drill. Short version - After owning blenders that cost over 2K and most in between it was very hard for us to believe that a 210.00 blender beats them all hands down. Its truly remarkable! We purchased a 900 Series VitaMix to have a back up to out blendtec that we have been using for over a decade. It was on sale during prime day so we decided to get one as a back up. The Vita-mix is a hot mess literally. Its totally unusable as it overheats after 2 blends usually and then it takes almost an hour for the over temp sensor to reset allowing you to use it again! Total garbage and its one of their best models supposedly. The blendtec has been great but they no longer make that model. All of this was a little gift from the cosmos to get us a fantastic blender and an unbelievable price. Just buy it you wont be disappointed.

I love this blender It's power is fantastic! It has a learning curve and is a bit loud but very powerful and exceptionally high performance.

Great but. Very powerful and does and excellent job. Have it for a few months now and no complaints at all!!!

This was given 1 star simply because it came with a plastic Tritan co- polyester jar, and because there were no options for buying a glass or stainless steel jar for this unit's motor base. When the product was purchased, I didn't know that hot liquids cannot be pressed in Tritan plastic jars. My only reason for buying this blender was for making applesauce (with peelings). The motor on my old Oster blender with a glass jar had failed. And a wanted my new blender to be more heavy-duty. The applesauce is canned in pint size mason jars after being blended to produce a smooth texture. (This blender also is too large for my kitchen counter.) I plan to give this product away to family members that use blenders for making cold drinks. And then buy a new heavy-duty blender with either a glass or stainless steel jar.

I was hesitant to get a blender with a plastic jug, but relied on the good reviews and am glad I did. Much easier to lift than heavy glass, and seems very durable. Have made several batches of soup and batches of icy slush drinks (think slushy margaritas) and it performed great. I was also hesitant to get a blender with the blades built into the jug, but clean up is easier than ever with the 'Clean' setting. Haven't had to use the instruments provided to dig under the blades or push things around while blending - the built-in wave action seems to move everything around (as long as there is enough liquid along with solids). I've only had it a couple of months, but so far am very happy with performance.

I owned $700 Vitamix for 10 years. It is great but started not being as great with less liquid. Gave to Daughter in law who loves it. I bought this one that looks and sounds and performs just like my expensive Vitamix for a sale price on Amazon of $187. It’s also made in USA and has steel and copper parts. Performs the exact same with same power and maybe even a tad quieter. No issues and I believe this has a lifetime warranty versus a limited warranty on Vitamix. Not saying Vitamix is bad. It’s also made in USA but for way less money this one looks and works the same by comparison.

This blender is powerful with a very large capacity. A good value and quality for this type of blender. However I don't find it easy at all to clean it as per the instructions if you are making anything that is sticky like nut butters. I've had difficulty with the functions options - but that is probably due to me just not understanding the internal programming of the options. This is HUGE and I can't keep it on my counter. I have to remove the container and store the pieces in my pantry. It's also deafening when in use. The dogs clear the kitchen.

The best blender I’ve ever owned. Have tried so many and they don’t compare to this one. It blends things so quickly, within 10seconds it’s done. I no longer have to use a strainer. I also just throw all veggies in whole don’t have to chop it prior to blending it and it still does a tremendous job. Have recommended it to family, got it on sell during prime day for 160. It cleans easily, less noisy than other blenders too. It is bulky so take that into consideration, but very worth it. Thank you!
