Awesome... powerful and gets the job done. I would prefer that it did not have the "sticky" suction footing but everything else "rocks"! I have had a "lesser" Ninja model for a few years with no problems, so hopefully this one will have the similar durability.

This Blender is the bomb!! I took everything out of box, washed the items and its was ready to go. The recipe book that is included is amazing. The great thing about the recipes is you use all natural ingredients. This particular model has variable speeds as opposed to the one that only has 3 speeds. That feature makes a big difference as do the single serving glasses that were also included. This blender is extremely powerful and easy to operate. The consistency of the mixture is absolutely awesome; no clumps of ice or frozen fruit at all. I highly recommend this blender!

This blender seems to be very well made. It is a very heavy duty machine. I use it daily for breakfast smoothies, blending frozen fruit, ice, and flaxseed. Everything gets broken down easily and is blended to the perfect consistency. This blender has a locking lid and suction cups on the bottom so even on high speed it will not walk off the counter. The blender jar has smooth sides which make it very easy to clean. I am very happy with this purchase. Previously I had a Sharper Image Blender, (1000 watts, at a cost of $150.) Even on low speed I had to hold the blender in place to keep it from sliding, it was so difficult to clean and broke after 16 months.

Surprisingly a great blender so far. Makes great smoothies without chunks and will literally pulverize spinach and kale. The single serving attachments are great for a quick and easy smoothie for one.

My step mother has a $500 vitamix and she wasted her money... This is the same quality for half the price and with the single serve blender cups it makes it even better. Don't hesitate to buy one .. Sams auctions has amazing deals.

The Ninja blender works very well in grinding up ice plus other items to make a juice or other mixture.

I bought this instead of the Vitamix for my green smoothies with whole veggies and fruits. I wanted something to make larger batches of smoothies than my Nutribullet (great machine). I debated getting the Vitamix on easy pay at one of the home shopping channels, but found this on their site for $159 with easy pay, so I snapped it up knowing that I could return it and be out only one month's payment instead of the whole thing. I love it. It makes my whole fruit and veg smoothies wonderfully smooth and quick. It is loud, but it is crushing, grinding, and pureeing things, so don't expect it to be quite. It makes all my smoothies liquid in no time.

I have only used my Ninja for fruit smoothies because that is what I bought it for, but I absolutely LOVE it for that!! Only thing I wasn't aware of it that you have to use the pulse button for blending single serve smooties. I had gotten a NutriBullet for Christmas and truly love it too. However, I wanted the ability to make more than one smoothie at a time and the Ninja allows me to do that. PLUS, this little gem blends the chia seeds and all to a super smooth consistency!! It is wonderful!!! Love it and highly recommend it :)

Dollar for dollar Best Value on the market today, the machine really does the job! Gave it four stars due to the selection of included accessories, ( 3 included " go cups" ) , for myself I would have preferred including a smaller pitcher, and less cups. But that's my wish and does not take anything away from the value of the machine itself , and it's excellent performance . I have already recommended this machine to others, so guess that's about as good as my Review can get!

I wanted a powerful blender with a larger capacity than the one I had previously owned. This one fits the bill. It is very powerful, has a choice of blades with the attached blade and the removable stalk of additional blades. I have used it once so far and my only complaint is that it is very loud. The lid is a bit difficult to put on and off but I understand the need for making it safer than the usual lids because of the extra blades inside.
