Some new blender videos

[petek]

It's been a long time since I uploaded any new videos to Youtube but since I got these two "new to me" old blenders why the heck not.

This ones pretty fun, very gimmicky and cheaply built. The Remington Happy Hour blender. No way would this thing chop ice in a drink it's that cheap LOL

I've been wanting one of these forever. They pop up on Ebay occasionally and always went for a sum and weren't in that great a shape.. This one did show up with a buy it now so I bought it then and it's in great shape.

Hey Pete, CONGRATS on your blender finds! I especially like that Waring, I've never seen one like that! Pretty neat!!

I agree!  That table top Waring is beautiful, and I've never seen the round cocktail mixer before.  Great score!

Really cool Waring-and for its time--1000W motor-very powerful.and its low speed-fast for "Lo".the Remington Stein blender-very strange-more a novelty item-guess it could be useful at a bar for minimal ice single drinks.would wonder if extra stein-containers were available so more drinks could be made by just putting them on the motor base.Whats the wattage or amps of the motor?The Stein machine might be able to grind coffee or soft spices and herbs.

Huge motor in the beer stein blender, a whopping 40 watts, made in Japan. It really is cheapy,has that Ronco/Ktel feel. It would stall if a small ice cube got in the way

40W-guess it would be lucky to blend even water.So---the machine wouldn't have much use at all.Yes,an ice cube could stall it-so much for using that blender for much of anything.

I thought Waring was a Joke for the longest,when my Gram passed I got all of her Kitchen gadgets even a 100 year old electric butter maker but she had a Waring Blender and if I am not mistaken the blender jar had a  wheel like thing and the motor was a high wattage for the age of it, more power than the ones the sell now unless you go to a Vitamix,K-Tech.I have a Vitamix and we still have a old  Nutone food center in the kitchen..I used the blender sighting  in a old Holland&Holland elephant gun that was old has hell my Pa-paw left me.I got lucky on the first shot and it blew it to a million bits , but that rifle about ripped off my shoulder from the kick of it and I got a black eye.I guess that was Karma for the Blender, that gun makes my thirty aw six feel like a 22.. Mom has always told me Waring was junk but she was talking about the coffee makers something she gets only the best of the best..The one thing that stood out and I was thinking finally a blender that has space around the blades unlike most out there.I know that blender could grind ice and a whole orange unlike these narrow at the bottom blenders I was used to..

I think the Waring blenders with their wider flat bottom jars are a better design than the narrowed ones used by Oster and others because they're less prone to having food chunks/ice etc getting stuck and going nowhere without a prodding. They were late out of the gate though in bringing out a removeable bottom/blade assembly in the 70's. By the 80's the quality went for a real nose-dive but then so did Oster and others.
