This blender packs a nice punch--it's used primarily for morning breakfast smoothies and it crushes and grinds all ingredients really well. It's had no trouble tackling fruits, veggies, and ice for nice smoothies. The to-go cups are super convenient, don't drip, and fit well in our car cup holder. I'm deducting one star only because the lids on the smoothie cups are really difficult to remove once you have them on. My husband and sons struggled and had to break out rubber grippers to get it opened. I fear the pressure on the lid is eventually going to pop the top off the drinking spout because you end up using that for leverage. Otherwise, this is a great blender. We've been really impressed with the quality of Ninja products.

If you are looking for a blender replacement as I was, this is it. The power behind this is incredible and I love the ease of use without a bunch of parts to clean. The blade has razor sharp blades up and down the stem that sits inside. It is separate so you pull it out and rinse it off. It makes smoothies with veggies and fruit easily. The 2 separate containers for smoothies and other quick drinks has its own blade in the lid and its just as powerful as the blender unit. I am so impressed and happy with this machine. The price is low too!!!

I have only used the big part twice but it worked really good. I use the cups every day and they work great. It did stop working one day after about 2 weeks of using it and I just had to unplug it and start over. Hoping that was just a one time thing. I love that I can set it on smoothie and walk away and it stops when it's done.

We started having a smoothie for breakfast that included pea protein powder as well as green banana flour. (Pea protein Is self-explanatory and the green banana flour is a resistant starch) When we put this in our Vitamix along with the water and fruit we always had to scrape the sides and it did not mix very well at all. We thought we would try this Ninja because it had, a totally different blade system. (The Vitamix has four blades at the bottom of the container, whereas the Ninja has a series of blades on a shaft, coming upwards from the bottom) Wow! Are we ever glad we did. With the Vitamix we had to put everything in a little bit at a time and some of it still stuck. With the Ninja everything goes in, close the lid and push the smoothie button and it does everything else. So, the Vitamix is now in a box in my workshop and the Ninja has a prominent place in the kitchen.

The blender is a great size (64 oz or 8 cups) to blend one batch not have to do multiple batches. The control buttons are clear and easy to use and there isn't lots of parts to too keep track of. The four little rubber feet keep it in place on the counter and keep it from being too noisy.

I loved this blender so much, my daughter purchased one! Great buy and price a wonderful find. This Ninja Blender is built strong and yet looks great on my counter. Protein drinks take seconds to make. I’m so extremely happy, over a piece of equipment I’m embarrassed. lol

This blender (especially this model) was an excellent purchase! The motor is so powerful and blends whatever you like perfectly. The different speeds work smoothly and without issue. This blender package from Sams Club was the best deal. I love that it came with individual smoothie cups and a separate blade for the individual cups. Great buy for sure, highly recommend!

So, first all the build quality is excellent. The 2 blender tumbler are heavy duty, really gives confidence. 2nd, the tumblers lock in, so no concern over walking out, holding down, etc. The power is excellent, blends really well. Finally the auto programs are effective for my needs.

I bought this blender, on sale, for about $80. It is worth it for that price. The two cup blenders are really nice. Most other brands only come with one so I really appreciate the extra one. It’s been perfect for chicken baby food and smoothies. I’ve used it several times now and I’m really happy with this purchase.

This is the best thing a mom with infant or toddler can have! I can blend food for my baby who cannot stand broccoli or carrot chunks on his plate but loves it when I blend! And he also wont eat chunks of bananas but enjoys the mixed fruits smoothie! I am in Love ! And the Ice crusher is perfect for frozen drinks! I can also store left over drinks in the jars given the lids are perfect! It is loud however and startles anyone around but all in all I love!!!
