So glad my husband broke my old blender. This blender is SO incredibly powerful. The stacked blades coupled with the high power make all difference. No more stopping to push top items to the bottom And I can use a lot less liquid so I can make frozen smoothies SO thick I almost don’t need my Ninja Creami. I also like that it’s much easier to clean than traditional blenders.

This is my second breakdown in 1 1/2 years. I am researching different models. I bought this blender Labor Day Weekend 2024 to crush ice, spinach, and soft vegetables for smoothies. I used it 1-2 times per day for six months when the cups began leaking. I thought this was my fault since I ran the top in the dishwasher. I replaced the tops and that fixed the issue. This week, almost exactly 1.5 years since purchase, the blender is making the loose bearing sound that has been reported just before it quits within a few days - a couple of months.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

Love the function of the blender don't love the design. Would be better if it fit under the kitchen cabinets so it could live on the counter. The smaller cups have a nice wide mouth for cleaning but are really hard to get the lids off because they are just too wide for gripping.

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.

Our Ninja is simply outstanding and is so easy to use to make a varitey of smoothies, drinks and food items. The preprogrammed features certainly takes the guess work out of manually setting the speeds and or time. Outstanding product. Only downside item is that it is louder than we anticipated,
