The machine itself is very big. I have only used the cups so far. The blender works great. I don't like how on the cups the blade part screws on to the outside of the cup. But the lids screw in on the inside of the cup. Not a great design, in my opinion. That's all I have so far.

Absolutely love this machine. It’s smooth and fast. What I love about it the most, is that it is quieter than most machines out there. I wake up way earlier than everyone in the house and you could hear it all through out the house. This one not so much for being so powerful. Definitely a bang for your bucks.

We have been wanting a Ninja blender for a long time, and when our old blender quit us, we took the plunge. I am so glad we did! It is so easy to use, and most importantly, easy to clean!!! I love the settings, where I can start it, and continue cooking, and it starts/stops on its own. It’s a huge timesaver, and it does a fantastic job! With the old blender, we would have to shake the pitcher or stop it and stir the ingredients, but not this one. And better yet, I don’t need to use the immersion blender after using the Ninja 😊

I had owned this blender myself before recently upgrading to a more advanced Ninja model, but I bought this model for my nephew’s household to replace a 20-year-old blender they were still using. The Ninja blender’s blade design is super efficient, and the inclusion of the extra blender cups is a real plus. In my experience, you cannot go wrong with a Ninja-brand blender.

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 finally have a great blender for making smoothies. It is excellent at crushing ice and I love how you just push a button and it starts and stops when it's done. However, it is very very LOUD. If you don't like noise, you probably should think twice about getting one.

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.

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

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.
