Owned for ~6 weeks - very disappointed. Construction is minimal [eg: compared to Vitamix]. Used it primarily to make smoothies. When container/jar is filled to 3/4+ capacity (pineapple, berries, etc.] plus liquid , fruit fibers accumulate on extractor tine/blade knife edges adding drag on the motor causing the whole assembly to vibrate/shake and burden. When cleaning w/ soap/water only, machine sometimes stops altogether and displays an error code. Power cycling clears the error code. It appears after 5+ weeks of daily usage weakened the motor and/or possibly dulled the tine/blade edges such that on one occasion the container/jar vibrated loose [unwound] on several occasions stopping the machine. So glad for Sams' return policy.

I use at least one of the peices to this set every singly day. I bought it to replace my old food processor because the peices on the Ninja system are much easier to take apart and clean. I like locking base and lid. It also has suction cups on the bottom to add stability when it is on. The blender is also fairly quite compared to others I've used.

This was the original blender I purchased around 8 or 9 years ago . I used this for everything from drink to dough to salsa. So easy to use and put together. The different blades fit each piece separately so there is no guessing what goes with what. One your ice or hard things are blended, it’s pretty quiet. Very easy to clean compared to other blenders with lots of parts. This is so worth the money . The only reason I replaced mine was because I lost some parts to it during a remodel.

After 2 years, the plastic pitcher finally cracked all over at once, leaking everywhere. Prior to that, the pitcher had some minor cracking, but no leaks. For the price, I expected this to last much longer. I've had family with glass blenders that last years and years... and they were much cheaper and even modern versions are still cheaper than the Ninja. DON'T WASTE MONEY ON PROTECTION PLAN FOR SAM'S. I purchased the 3-yr Allstate protection plan from Sam's, but Allstate denied the claim for the Ninja because they say it is just "normal wear and tear" or "manufacturing defects". It has only been about 26 months. They will cover a device that is working properly but then fails for some vague reason, but because I described cracks forming early on they concluded it was a defective product!! They judge that something is a "manufacturing defect" just so they can deny the claim!! Rant about ratings: Vendors and manufacturers ask for rating too soon. It is deceiving when all the 5-star ratings are probably done in the first month, never reflecting the long-term quality of the product.

The Ninja Professional blender/food processor did not disappoint!

My daughter was pleased using to do her smoother and chopper works perfectly well.

Just what I was looking for!

Easy to operate, cleans up like a breeze, multi tasking.

Very loud and blades tend to clog up making smoothies; not thrilled with this purchase

Quieter than last Ninja. Great crushing ice. Mixing, smoothies, and purée a breeze. Great device.
