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.

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

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.

An excellent in-home blender that’s perfectly balanced between simplicity and ingenuity. This series is both easy to use, yet not as haphazard and boring as most other models. Your ingredients will be expertly broken down in the blink of an eye. Fruits, veggies, ice, you name it it’s getting sliced and diced by the sharp blades of this Ninja. The only drawback is that it’s pretty noisy, but that’s a minor inconvenience when you think of how much power the Ninja Duo packs to get your ingredients broken down. The smart IQ feature makes it easy to push a button and watch it go. Definitely my favorite purchase of my household appliances thus far.

I bought it for my daughter as a Birthday gift, she had been hinting for a while that she wanted any Ninja product. She was so happy she use it every day, I mean every single day (LOL) She's happy, I'm happy, best gift ever and for the perfect price.

Love it!!! Great purchase & this blender does everything I wanted & more. I especially love the interchangeable mini bottles and the fact that you can blend or store the contents in the bottles. Best of all my granddaughter & I broke it in making smoothies for her birthday!

I love this so much that I have now bought this same package for my daughter last year and then for my other daughter last week (she begged for it after seeing mine). It has earned its place in my kitchen for coveted counter space and is one of the few appliances to stay out all the time. I started drinking smoothies for breakfast, and this is simply the best way to do it. No mess. Literally, I just rinse off the blade and that is it. There is NO cleanup. When you compare the horsepower on this machine with anything else on the market, it's like apples and...well, teeeny baby apples. :) This thing has 2 to 3 times as much horsepower as the others. I had a choice between the Ninja that was only the smoothie maker and it came with the 32-oz blender cups or paying a little more and getting this DUO with the 24-oz blender cups. I love the blender, so I got this (all three times when I bought it). Most of the time I really want a bigger smoothie (and yet, I've lost really quite a lot of weight drinking even the large fruit smoothies). So, 24 ounce might be big enough for most people, but I ended up buying replacement cups at a bigger size. I still would buy this set just so I could have the blender. Speaking of the blender, this one solves the problem that I've always had with blenders where you have to stick a spoon down in there to get things to mix up halfway because they don't blend evenly unless it is just liquid. That doesn't happen with this. The stuff that is on the top smooshes down to the bottom like magic. It just works perfectly throughout. It crushes ice better than anything you could ever imagine. So, I sound like a paid infomercial, right? I'm NOT. I paid my hard-earned money for these. I bought them repeatedly because they are great.

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.

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