Third-party reviews

What customers like about Waring Big Stik WSB55

  • High-power 1 HP (750W) motor handles thick ingredients effortlessly.
  • Massive 15-gallon (60-quart) capacity is perfect for high-volume commercial kitchens.
  • Variable speed control (up to 18,000 RPM) offers excellent precision.
  • Removable, completely sealed stainless steel shaft is dishwasher safe and easy to clean.
  • Continuous 'ON' locking feature reduces hand fatigue during long blending cycles.
  • Ergonomic dual-handle design with a rubberized grip provides great control and safety.
  • User-replaceable couplings extend the lifecycle of the unit without requiring complete replacement.
  • Universal power pack allows for seamless swapping with other shaft sizes or whisk attachments.

What customers don't like about Waring Big Stik WSB55

  • Heavy and bulky frame can make it exhausting to hold for extended periods without a bowl clamp.
  • Extremely loud operational noise level when running at high RPMs.
  • Significant suction forces can pull the blender forcefully toward the bottom of deep containers.
  • High acquisition cost compared to light or medium-duty alternatives.
  • Overkill and highly impractical for residential use or small-batch kitchen tasks.

Verdict

The Waring Big Stik WSB55 is a heavy-duty commercial immersion blender powered by a robust 1 HP, 750-watt variable-speed motor capable of reaching up to 18,000 RPM. Designed for high-volume preparation, it features a 14-inch completely sealed, removable, and dishwasher-safe stainless steel shaft that can mix, puree, and emulsify batches up to 15 gallons (60 quarts). Its main advantages include a continuous "ON" function for effortless long-term blending, user-replaceable couplings, an ergonomic rubberized comfort grip, and a dual-handle configuration for maximum stability and precise control. However, its industrial power and heavy-duty construction make it excessively bulky, loud, and impractical for small-scale residential kitchens, while the fixed blade cannot be individual detached from the shaft for separate cleaning.
