I had the smaller less powerful one whcih I already thought was great but this one is even better which I thought was impossible. I bought this blender because it was bigger than my other Ninja Blender. This one is exceptional and worth the price. It blends and liquifies to perfection. I use it with the smoothie option and it exceeded my expectations. It is worth every penny.

We brought this as a replacement for a cheap mixer that died making smoothies.. The Ninja works very well . It doesn’t get stopped by mixing the fruit and ice and is very fast in getting the right consistency.

Just the upgrade I needed. Very powerful blender. I had an older version that lasted me a while it still works but I wanted a new one. Caught it on sale Mother’s Day weekend and couldn’t pass it up

Finally, an economical blender that is powerful enough to completely pulverize even frozen fruit into the smoothest of smoothies. And it doesn't give the usual impression that it's about to blow up. Its suction cup feet really work on a smooth counter top. I'm totally okay with just the 3 presets. Having 10 like some others has never been useful. It's built-in on-off sequencing was a surprise, but it makes sense after seeing it work.

I bought this when it was on sale and I wanted to make Smoothies. This does the job extremely well! I don’t like pulp and I put a whole peeled mandarin orange and some fruit with spinach and it came out absolutely delicious! No pulp and very smooth! I will say it’s very loud but it’s only about a min of loudness. The small blender attachment for the cups is good if you use powdered smoothies or want to refresh your already made smoothie.

Only problem is the square unit. Ingredients get stuck in the corners. The 2 smaller round containers are great.

This is the second NINJA I've purchased- I accidentally broke my pitcher on the first one and a replacement cost was more then it should be. It was a better value just to replace the whole thing. That said- It's the best blender I've ever owned! You won't be disappointed if you decide to buy this Ninja.

Had to get a new base unit sent out covered by warranty because the switch that the cups activate when you twist it on the base, was assembled in the wrong direction and not allowing the cups to activate the system. New base was shipped and received in about 2 days. Excellent customer service from Ninja company... Awesome unit!

I bought this primarily to make smoothies, it does not liquefy the ingredients. Has many chunks and grit.

Based on an excellent price, I purchased to have a blender at the lake. It operated very different than my older Ninja. The ice crush, which I use for slushy drinks, pulses. It does not run continuously. The other settings run for 60 seconds then turn off. To get slushies and blended ice drinks such as a daiquiri, super smooth, I run the blender for several minutes. I don't want to stand by the blender to constantly restart the blender. I returned the blender.
