What customers like about Waring Big Stik WSB40

  • High blending power from the 1/2 HP motor that easily processes large batches
  • Excellent for commercial applications like large quantities of soups, sauces, and dressings
  • Durable, professional-grade construction that stands up to heavy daily use
  • Ergonomic and secure rubberized comfort grip for safe handling during operation
  • Fast processing speed up to 18,000 RPM saves time in busy kitchens

What customers don't like about Waring Big Stik WSB40

  • The unit can feel heavy and cause hand fatigue during prolonged, continuous use
  • On standard WSB40 models, the fixed shaft design can make thorough cleaning more tedious than models with detachable shafts
  • Not well-suited for processing very thick or small-batch home recipes, which can cause the motor to struggle or overheat
  • Bulky physical size makes it less practical for standard residential home storage

Verdict

The Waring Quik Stik Plus WSB40 is a medium-duty commercial immersion blender featuring a 10-inch fixed, sealed stainless steel shaft paired with an all-purpose stainless steel blade, engineered to process batches up to 6 gallons (24 quarts). Driven by a 1/2 HP, 350-watt motor that operates on 120V electrical connections, it provides high-efficiency blending with a 2-speed high/low control capable of reaching speeds up to 18,000 RPM for pureeing, whipping, and emulsifying. Main advantages include a lightweight, ergonomic design equipped with a rubberized comfort grip for controlled handheld handling, alongside reliable performance backed by NSF and cETLus sanitation certifications. However, notable drawbacks include its fixed shaft design which restricts thorough cleaning flexibility compared to removable alternatives, and its operational threshold being strictly limited to medium-duty applications, rendering it less suited for extremely thick or high-volume commercial production volumes.
