Best blender I have used for making frozen smoothie bowls, or even thicker smothing bowls with the thickness of ice cream. I bought this because I wanted a blender that can make smoothies and smoothie bowls, and it is one of the best. It has different setting for different types of blendings. I like to cut fruit into small pieces, freeze it, then blend it in this and get no issues. Anything from strawberries, bannans, pineapple, mango, and apples will get shredded in this blender. The blades are really, really sharp and agressive. This will blend anything forzen or not! This blender is verry sturdy and the plastic is very durable. Easy to store and can be used for different servings! Read more
This Ninja system is an absolute powerhouse. I’ve used plenty of blenders before, but this one doesn’t even flinch at frozen fruit, ice, or anything remotely tough. The 72-oz pitcher is perfect for big smoothie batches, and the to-go cups are super convenient when I’m heading out the door. The food processor bowl is what really impressed me — it actually chops evenly and doesn’t leave random big chunks behind. I’ve made dips, spreads, and even quick salsa, and it handled everything like a champ. The controls are simple, the preset functions are spot-on, and the whole thing feels sturdy and well made. Cleanup isn’t bad at all, and the parts lock in easily without fighting them. Overall, it’s one of those appliances you end up using way more than you expected because it just does everything well. If you’re looking for a blender/processor combo that actually delivers power without being ridiculously loud or complicated, this one’s a winner. Read more
I bought the 1600 W version, and I really like it. I mostly use it for making my morning smoothie with ice cubes, sometimes frozen fruit and other stuff. I did end up buying the bigger cup (32 oz) because the stuff I put in my smoothie filled it too full. Yesterday I took a head of cabbage and cut it up for cole slaw. The food processor works tremendously well. It was easy to clean afterwards, and I got a whole huge zip lock bag of shredded cabbage. It's not that loud on the food processor setting. I did get an error at the end for some reason, but I just unplugged it, plugged it back in and it was fine. Not sure why that happened. So far, I really love this. I do let it run for 2 cycles on the smoothie setting though to smush up all the strawberry seeds. Read more
📝 Review: I bought this hoping to make a better smoothie. What I got was a power-hungry appliance that could probably knead dough, crush concrete, and prepare for battle in the kitchen arena. Here’s how it went down: 🚀 Setup & First Use: Took 10 minutes to unbox and figure out (half of that was me admiring the attachments). Made a smoothie. It vaporized frozen strawberries like they owed it money. Glass pitcher is hefty and dishwasher safe. Respect. 🔪 Food Processor Test: Shredded an entire block of cheese in under 3 seconds. It did not ask for permission. Sliced onions so efficiently I didn’t even have time to cry. Turned a zucchini into a memory. 🧂 Dough Blade Attempt: Mixed a pizza dough like a stand mixer at CrossFit. Dough was perfect. I may now believe in kitchen magic. Briefly considered opening a pizzeria just to justify owning this thing. 🧼 Cleaning & Storage: All parts are dishwasher safe. Easy to take apart, though I made sure to speak kindly to the blades while doing so. There are a lot of pieces. You’ll need a dedicated drawer or possibly a minor garage conversion. ✅ Pros: SmartTorque motor is absurdly strong (but smart). 6 auto-iQ functions = push button, walk away. Shreds, slices, crushes, blends, kneads—honestly might parent my children if I let it. Makes smoothies smoother than your ex’s excuses. ❌ Cons: Loud enough to wake nearby pets and/or ancestors. Big. Plan your storage like it’s moving in permanently. 🎯 Final Verdict: This isn’t a blender. This is a high-functioning culinary robot disguised as a countertop appliance. If you cook a lot, meal prep, or just want to feel unstoppably productive every time you make a shake—buy it. If you're afraid of powerful machines that might one day lead the AI uprising… maybe also buy it, but be nice to it. Read more
I really love our Ninja. It does so much and we use it everyday. Smoothies, soups, doughs, nut butters (constantly), frozen drinks, everything. Here's the thing. As strong as it is, it could be just a bit stronger. The motor strains sometimes. Also the handle is flawed. Stuff can overflow and get stuck in there. Not good. The nut butter attachment should really unscrew from the bottom too, because to clean behind the blades is a chore. We just use the big blender and make large batches tbh, clean-up is so much faster. Overall a great machine though Read more
This thing is amazing!!! We have had our unit for about a month now. This was purchased to replace our nutribullet, which worked great in college but we needed something woth more power. At first I was a little intimidated by it - there are so many functions and different attachments. We first used it to make a smoothie, and it quickly pulverized our frozen fruit with ease. After that I no longer felt intimidated or hesitated to use it! It was a huge help at Thankgiving in getting the cheese grated for my mac-n-cheese, and it gets used every Sunday during our weekly meal prep. Grating cheese? A whole block is shredded in 30 seconds or less. It has so much power that can even handle harder cheese, like parmesan! Smoothies? Perfectly blended every time. I still need to try the slicing function for my veggie prep, but I have no doubt it'll handle that with ease too! Easily recommending this unit to anyone who could use it, and for what we paid I feel like it's a great value! So many appliances in one, and it easily fits into my cabinet for storage. Read more
