We were looking for a new blender that would make great smoothies. Was leaning toward the VitaMix, but just couldn't with the price that they are. Saw this one $30 off at Sam's and, after a bit of research, bought it. It has worked great for our smoothies with frozen fruits and fresh veggies. Not even a small chunk of anything is left; it is all perfectly smooth. The 2 extra cups are great for taking to work in the morning. Also pulverizes ice cubes to make snow cones with super fine snow, not the chunky kind we are all used to. Overall am happy so far with this purchase.

Already have a Vitamix but realize i might not have neede it now that I have the Ninja. It is great for smoothies (with the 2 take-and-go cups and perfect for making sauces and dressings when the Vitamix is just too big to mix it all up. It even crushes ice. I'm very glad I bought the Ninja.

Love this blender! Makes my life so much easier!

We love it! It get's the job done.

Quick and easy to use. Our first one finally broke after having for 10 yrs.

Just opened it and, WOW!!

Best Appliance for blending, making smoothies & chopping for different recipes on the market.

Great blender except that the pitcher is plastic. Would have preferred a glass pitcher.

One of my favorite appliances. It makes great smoothies.

This blender works as stated. I use this blender for protein shakes.
