My backup immersion blender gave out during a big soup service

It was a Saturday night rush and the motor just smoked out halfway through a 20 gallon batch of butternut squash. Had to grab a hotel pan and a spider to manually puree it, took forever. Anyone have a brand that can handle high volume without burning up?

Used to doubt them, but a Waring commercial unit survived my kitchen for years.

Ever wonder if the commercial grade stuff is just a marketing trick? That's a solid point from @christopherwilliams, because those units are built totally different (heavier duty motor, different switches). For a home kitchen, you're right, a regular one might die in a year with heavy use. The real trick is knowing if you actually need that power, or if you're just blending smoothies once a week.
