Bought this 2 months ago and quickly rinsed and cleaned blades and base immediately after every use. The gasket quickly started to smell and was VERY difficult to remove and clean. Because it is located close to the blades. I’ve nearly stabbed myself multiple times trying to remove the gasket. I even bought replacement gaskets to rid the smell and two different tools to remove them. The new gaskets only need a tiny bit of fluid underneath, and you’ve got a smelly gasket the next day, even with immediate proper washing. I smell spoiled milk every time I take a sip out of the smoothie cup. For someone who makes smoothies daily as a quick breakfast, this design flaw makes this a smelly waste of time and money.

LOVE the blender itself. It's perfect! However I am on go and had to buy extra mugs. When I bought them, no lids came with them. You had to purchase a lid separately. I would hope that you could stand by your product enough to provide lids and not just the cup. It's extremely greedy!

It blends well and smoothly, especially smoothies. However, it requires a lot of liquid to get moving. I tried to blend basil leaves in it but the blades didn't cut through them. It's also way louder than I expected. Super easy to clean and convenient design though!

Starting with the pros, this unit is very powerful. In a single pulse the ingredients were already mixed. Leave it running and you are sure to get a well blended smoothie. We're all looking for something that will mix up a good smoothie and the Nutri Blender Pro does just that. Plus, I like the large 24 oz cups and the lids that come with them. But the sound... I was looking for a unit to make smoothies at work, so it was important that I got something on the quiet side, and this is NOT it. This unit is LOUD. After a single pulse trying it at work I immediately had to stop as it sounded like a construction site. I brought it home to use yet it blends at such a high volume I can't possibly use it in the morning if my partner is sleeping. I take it into the bathroom and drape a towel over it! Even if you want to use it while hosting a party, this unit will drown out your guests nearby. It's not exactly a "fun" blended drink maker if it sounds like a jet is taking off from the kitchen. I am not exaggerating. Lastly, the unit uses suction cups on the bottom that are clearly not meant to be removable. I tugged at one and it felt pretty fixed (maybe I have to read the specs again). I want a blender that I can stow away in a cabinet and not have out as a kitchen counter fixture. It is annoying to pull the base up every time and I have to store it upside down so I can pull it out quickly. Overall, this unit is "clunky" and just too loud for comfort. I am pretty sure I am going to return this and keep researching quieter blenders.

Excellent quality. Used only twice, but is very heavy duty. Didn't realize how large the base was and thought they should have included a regular blender bottom with it or other items you can attach. Has sticky feet so it doesn't move around the counter. It crushes ice like some other similarly priced blenders on the market. So far so good.

I bought this blender after some research into different personal blenders on the market. My previous bullet-style blender did not have enough cup capacity and wattage to get the job done. I would constantly find the motor would get too hot and short out. This blender has plenty of power to get through anything! I also love it has different size cups but they all fit the same blender blade base. Auto-IQ is an amazing function and has taken ALL guesswork out of blending drinks.

I bought this about a month ago when my prior Ninja stopped performing optimally that was gifted to me 7 years ago. Right there they last a really long time! Love the pulse and automation of making smoothies features. You can set it and go about your time working on other things in the kitchen. I also like the suction cup to help stabilize the blender as well. No regrets on this purchase. I would honestly recommend you purchase this product.

I bought This about a month definitely helped us the magic bullet that I had previously. I mainly use it for hot liquids and I know that is not the intention so I tried to cool it down first but so far I have had no problems and it has blended with perfection.

I’ve bought a ninja blender before with the smaller blend ups and they are good but like all the others this one isn’t good at blending frozen fruit without slipping and motor burn smell. It won’t last long if you put large chunks of fruit in it and make frozen smoothies. I put half a banana into it and some frozen sliced strawberries along with some yogurt and soy milk and it slipped just like my old unit. It gets hung up and you have to pick the whole unit up and shake it to make it keep blending, otherwise the motor burns up and the bl under lid will strip. This could be made better for frozen drinks.

My initial thoughts of the Ninja Nutri pro blender BN-401 was, that it was just worth purchasing. It has more than surpassed my expectations. Mixing my morning protein drink, is 180° from what I was doing previously. The smoothness and the creaminess of the drink is just amazing...
