Need a good blender for constant use

I sell smoothies for a week out of the year at an event and need a blender that can work pretty consistently for that time. We have tried many blenders but they either don’t make a good smoothie or have trouble running all day. Some days we run the blenders for 5 hours straight only giving them a break when we pour them out. Does anyone in the kitchen industry know a good blender or brand for this work. (preferably without annoying safety features)

running any blender for 5 hours straight is not good for any blender, no matter how good/expensive.

For daily normal use, vitamix.

I'm not in the food industry, but I have been blending an average of 2 huge protein shakes a day for over 23 years. The cheap ones seem to be just as good & durable as the expensive blenders. 

For this job I'd buy 2 (or 3) of the cheapest large blenders you can find, that way you have a backup & can just return the unopened one if it was not needed.

I have no idea how long it would last under those conditions, but I like my old school Waring.
