Blenders for Kitchen | Smoothie Blender, Mixer, Grinder - Premium Blending Performance for Sauces, Frozen Drinks, and More | 1200 Peak Watt Motor | SS101 Foodi Personal Smoothie Maker

TLDR: this blender is comparable to a Vitamix E310 in terms of blend quality, and is in some ways easier to use. Read below for my smoothie journey and how I settled on this being my preferred blender. I’ve used a couple of different blenders over the last couple years, including a Vitamix E310, a magic bullet and a nutribullet. The Vitamix was great, but just too big for my needs. I normally make single serve smoothies/bowls for just myself, and don’t require a super large container to make multiple smoothies. The magic bullet was undoubtedly the worst blender, with only a 250 watt motor It really struggles to make anything using frozen fruit or ice. The nutribullet was better, but it required some babysitting as you had to shake the container to distribute the fruit when it gets stuck at the top. So now I’m here, I haven’t tried ninja blenders before and I did quite a bit of research before settling on this one specifically. Ninja does have more expensive blenders that come with a larger container as an added bonus, however during my research I have found that the larger containers for this brand seem to perform worse than the smaller single use containers. The reason comes down to the blades, the larger one uses 3 separate blades that “chop” everything up, where as the smaller containers use a more traditional blender blade system that blends things nicely. I was also intrigued by the bowl attachment, as it is similar to how Vitamix uses the tamp to distribute items more evenly. So I bought it, and it works fantastic. I’ve attached a short video where you can see a bowl I created with the bowl attachment, and 2 smoothies blending. The video really shows how well the blender is able to mix frozen items without supervision. It just does it, no babysitting required. The smoothie bowl attachment does require you to twist it, but only for 30 seconds (which I think is doable considering how great the consistency is) Also somewhat surprisingly, it blends leafy greens like kale or spinach perfectly without leaving clumps. Only the Vitamix was ever able to do this for me, so I’m happy to have found a blender that is able to do this in single serve fashion. For this to work well you need to use the extract button. At the time of writing this review it’s $69, and I’m pretty sure this is the best blender you can get for that price. Even at its normal selling price I’d still buy it considering how well it works. The only potential downsides to this blender include: 1) it’s pretty light, and it can just hop around the counter if the suction feet aren’t attached properly. Try to get the feet a little wet and clean the counter before setting it down to avoid this. 2) it’s a ninja, I don’t think this brand is exactly known for product longevity but I guess I’ll have to see how it holds up. Build quality is overall good but not up to Vitamix standards of course. 3) It’s loud, like I’m pretty sure you will wake up everyone within a 500 ft radius if you are blending at 6 am. Don’t be that person. That’s about it for this long review, I’m not sure why I spent the time writing this out but I think it’s good for a product like this to get the recognition It deserves. 5 stars, just buy it.

I bought this blender because I wanted to make meal replacement shakes/smoothies as a quick lunch, since I work from home. I searched and searched for something affordable, but also powerful. I could not afford those $300+ blenders, so I went to Ninja. I have heard great things about their products, and the majority of the reviews are positive. So I buy the blender, it arrives, I can't wait to use it. I read about the reviews that said it is "SO LOUD" and like yeah, it is loud, but it honestly wasn't that bad. My husband slept through it, and I used it in the kitchen, 25 feet from our closed bedroom door. I wouldn't use it around a newborn baby, but my cats were okay with it. I just threw a couple dish towels over it to dampen the noise. But listen, for power of this kind, it's a worthy trade off. When I tell you this bad boy blended everything I threw at it, I am not kidding in the slightest. Chia seeds? Dust. Frozen fruit? Obliterated. Ice cubes? Chunks be gone. It has made the most delightfully creamy and, well, smooth smoothies I have ever had in my life. It has preset options for what you're blending, but also has a pulse option. I used it for smoothies, but this would make amazing margaritas, daiquiris, dips, spreads, dressings, you name it. I love that it comes with multiple cups and lids, and it is very easy to clean. The base is small, so I can leave it on my counter or on a shelf without taking up much room. If you need a new blender, and want one that will crush anything, get this one. Your standard pitcher blender will be put to shame. It simply cannot do what this Ninja can. I have been missing out all this time with lumpy, bumpy, and chunky beverages from my old blender. No longer will I be plagued by having to chew my drink! I highly recommend getting this blender if you need a new one, or are in the market for some quality smoothies and drinks. It is absolutely worth it!

Works great. Doesn’t leak . Easy to clean . Good motor.

My husband purchased this for me almost two years ago, let me tell you, it still lives on my kitchen counter and is out to work weekly if not daily! We like to make protein shakes, smoothies, and the occasional milkshake. It make fast work out of everything. It’s high quality. The blades are sharp and have no problem getting though ice, frozen fruits, nuts, lettuce and everything else we’ve tried. The capacity is defiantly a one to two serving max, but that’s exact what we we looking for. We love the travel lids. And I like the flat storage lid if I make a smoothie and want to save half for later in the fridge without fear of it spilling. It’s a great value. The only drawback is that it is LOUD. You will definitely wake someone in the next room. It can be quite abrasive if it’s something you use first thing in the morning. However, because of the reliability and durability we’ve decided that it can be as loud as it needs to because we can always count on it to work and to have our shakes ready quick so we can get on with our day. We would purchase this again. And we would even purchase additional blending cups to the three it comes with just because we use them all so frequently.

Had to buy a new blender because my old ninja blender’s blades suddenly started smoking and heating up to the point it was burning my smoothie and visually and audibly smoking. So I immediately bought this one. It’s a higher wattage and I blend a lot of frozen stuff and drinks with lots of ice so I thought this would be a better option. I was shocked at how easily this one blended my protein shake. I put it on the smoothie setting and watched as it perfectly blended it. No help needed to move ingredients back down. The smoothie is smooth and the sharp blades did its job. I definitely think this is better than the other one had ever been. I can’t wait to use the bowl cup and setting to really test this out. My only complaint is the very first use showed signs of wear and damage from one blend. A little worried about the quality and whether this product is going to last daily usage.

This blender is a beast in the most fabulous way. I’ve been using this for breakfast smoothies for almost a year now and I love it! It seems to be durable and well made. I have also made pesto and hummus and it works very well. The size is compact and easy to store. I love how easily it blends ice and frozen foods into a smoothie. No shaking, tilting or stirring required. I love having multiple plastic blending cups so I can set and forget in the fridge for a few days. No leaking or big messes to clean up after using. Dishwasher safe also makes clean up a breeze.

Love this blender so much! It can handle frozen fruit with ease and makes the most perfect smoothies in seconds. Is it loud? Sure, it's a blender. But I don't think it's louder than any other bullet blender I've ever owned. I use it every day at home, so I bought a second one to keep at work. 10/10 recommend this unit.

I've only blended smoothies so far, but it's performance has been perfect. It completely blends frozen fruit and ice in ten seconds. The smoothie function goes twice as long as needed, but maybe that accounts for nuts and seeds or something. Absolutely zero issues so far.
