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’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.

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.

This blender and blade will last a lifetime if you hand wash it but if you put the cups in the dishwasher the heat will shrink the plastic and your blades won’t screw on right anymore. It’s very easy to hand wash though so i find it’s only a mild inconvenience. If you find yourself not being able to screw on the lids after the dishwasher, don’t try and force them because the cups will start shedding plastics pieces and it could crack the blade. The cups just need to be replaced. The blade and blender all still work fine!

Durability is the problem. I’m on my third machine in a year and half. Hopefully the replacement I received this time will last longer. I use half cup frozen berries, half fresh banana and my almond milk and protein powder. No ice. No big chuncks . It blend that easily. The consistency is nice when it works properly. Nice smoothie. Crossing my fingers.

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...

I love this one! My old one was smaller and was starting to not work as well because it got a lot of use. This one is so much nicer and more powerful! I love that it automatically pulses on smoothie mode. It holds a lot more too! I’ve had it for a couple months now we are all loving it!

This blender base seems as large as a full size blender but the cups you use to blend your choice of ingredients are a good size to take with you in your car. There are two cups and each has its own lid. This Ninja blender is programmed for several modes and is easy to use. My only complaint is the loud noise level which necessitates wearing earplugs when I use the blender.

I bought this because my 20 year old Cuisinart blender disintegrated when I turned it on to make a smoothie. I never knew that it could be so easy to make a smoothie, drink it from the container I made it in, and wash it when finished. I am so glad I bought this! It is so powerful that it goes through frozen fruit and ice cubes like butter.

Great little blender, makes great smoothies, purées, chops, make dressings, etc….it can grate hard cheeses such a Parmesan and Romano. The only thing I don’t like, hence 4 stars instead of 5, is that it has a mind of its own…the Auto IQ causes the machine to pulse constantly instead of continuously blend…I prefer to pulse myself thank you! Otherwise great little blender.
