Waring WSB550X Big Stik EvolutionX Immersion Blender, 15 Gallon, 14" Shaft, 1.5 HP, Variable Speed, 120V

The Waring WSB550X is a Heavy-Duty Big Stik EvolutionX immersion blender with a 14-inch stainless steel shaft and a 1.5 HP, 1,145-watt variable-speed motor. Rated for batches up to 15 gallons (60 quarts), it is a strong all-round choice for busy restaurant and catering kitchens that work in tall stockpots. It runs on standard 120V power.

EvolutionX Power Pack With a 14" Sealed Shaft

The EvolutionX power pack runs a 1.5 HP, 1,145-watt variable-speed motor that reaches up to 18,000 RPM. In place of a basic high/low switch, an electronic control panel with easy-touch buttons and an LED indicator lets the cook choose an exact speed from 1 to 9. That matters in practice: you can start a hot soup slowly to avoid splashing, then step up to full speed for a velvety finish, and every cook on the line gets repeatable results by using the same setting.

The 14" stainless steel shaft separates from the universal power pack, so the shaft can be cleaned in the dishwasher while the motor housing stays dry. The same power pack accepts every EvolutionX shaft and the whisk attachment, which lets a kitchen own one motor and several shaft lengths. Couplings are user-replaceable and the cord is serviceable, so routine wear does not have to send the whole blender out for repair. A dual-trigger handle, rubberized comfort grip and patented pivoting second handle keep the unit balanced in a deep pot, and the continuous ON feature allows hands-free running when the blender is mounted with the optional bowl clamp.

The 14-inch shaft adds depth over the 12-inch model so the blade reaches the bottom of taller stockpots, while remaining light enough to handle comfortably through a full prep shift.

Why Operators Choose It

• Versatile size: 14" shaft and 15-gallon rating cover most restaurant stockpots
• Power to spare: 1.5 HP, 1,145 W motor up to 18,000 RPM for thick soups and purees
• Nine precise speeds: electronic control with LED indicator for consistent texture
• Built for long shifts: dual-trigger handle, comfort grip and patented pivoting second handle
• Clean in the dishwasher: detachable sealed stainless shaft separates from the power pack

Controls

An electronic control panel with easy-touch buttons sets the speed from 1 to 9, and an LED indicator shows the selected setting at a glance. The dual-trigger handle starts and stops blending, and the continuous ON feature keeps the motor running without holding the trigger, useful for long purees with the blender clamped to the pot. A cord wrap keeps the power pack tidy in storage.
