    Good portable blender!

    The 22-ounce portable Ninja-Blast Blender is a nice little device but it has it’s shortcomings. The first one is the size which 22oz is okay for one person however i think they should offer one that is 36oz big enough for two people. I really like the Ninja Blast unfortunately for me it overheats when I make shakes with it using ice cream straight out of the fridge. When that happens three orange lights come on and you have to wait 60 minutes. I love that I can take it with me though and that it is battery-powered. This little blender is very powerful and while I tried it on Smoothie it seemed to have a feature that would automatically pause it to let things settle for a second and restart like pulse mode on a regular blender. The Ninja Blast will take some getting used to in order to see what works and what doesn’t but that does not bother me. I will adjust my ingredients appropriately in order to get the best use out of it just because I like it so much. I may let my ice cream sit a minute before blending it with milk. I do think it will work perfectly fine for most use cases. Ice cream scoops always seem to sit on top and in most blenders requiring some spoon assistance. I think I have become somewhat spoiled by my full-sized 64oz Ninja Blender that churns through whatever I throw at it. This product is definitely well made like all Ninja products I have used and I can’t wait to take it with me on the road to create some delicious treats. It is very simple to use with a center power button then your Blend, Crush and Smoothie modes. The Ninja Blast feels substantial and high quality and I can not wait to try many different recipes with it. Now I can make shakes and smoothies anywhere and that’s awesome. I would definitely recommend it, but I don’t expect it to keep up with your full-sized plug in Ninja Blender.

    Compact and Easy to Use

    The Ninja Blast Max is a nice little portable blender that saves space and time making a single smoothie. This 22oz blender is great to use on a time crunch and the blender doubles as a cup so there’s less to wash all said and done. You can basically blend and go! It’s got more pros than cons for sure. We make smoothies at home with milk, frozen berries, bananas, protein powder, and peanut butter. There are instructions I followed for the order of the ingredients in the cup and I found that the Blast Max did a good job of blending everything smoothly. The 3 buttons are easy to use. The “Smoothie” and “Crush” modes do a good job of automatically pulsing in certain patterns for the best blend. The “Blend” mode is a steady 30-second blend which is also used for the quick clean. The one thing I didn’t like about this blender cup is the placement of the lid. It does “lock” in an upright position, but it’s a little awkward to have it right in my face when I drink from the cup. The cleanup on the Ninja Blast Max is better than cleaning a traditional blender. It never really felt worth it to bust out the big blender and make multiple dishes to clean for a single smoothie. I like that you can do a quick clean on the Blast Max with some warm water and dish soap. The cup and lid are supposedly dishwasher safe, but the instructions say not to use the heat dry setting and I don’t want to turn off heat dry for my whole load. I’d rather not risk ruining my new blender so I’m just washing it by hand for now. The Ninja Blast Max portable blender is great for its compact design, easy cleanup, and portability. Overall it does meet the expectations of quickness and portability but I’d like a different design for the lid and handle.

    Ninja Blast Max - Big Power in a Small Package

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Ninja Blast Max 22oz Portable Blender is my new favorite appliance for use at home and on the road. We have been splitting our time recently at our home and on the road traveling in a camper van. So when looking for new appliances I like items that are small and can run cordlessly. The Blast Max fits those needs and exceeds them. I have a full-sized blender and tend to talk myself out of making a smoothie or other blended drink as it seems like a lot of effort for a single drink. That has all changed with the Blast Max as it’s a perfect size for making a single smoothie and taking it on the road as well with the sealed drink vessel. In the Box: - 11.1V rechargeable motor base - 22oz. Twist & Go vessel with built-in CrushBlade™ - Easy-Open Sip Lid with Carrying handle - Charging Cable - 5-recipe Inspiration Guide - User Manual Initial Impressions: This is a very well-built and compact blender system that fits easily into a cabinet or drawer for storage. The power and control buttons are easy to read and centrally located on the front of the blender base. There is a rubber foot on the base that keeps the unit in place during use and storage. The vessel acts as the mixing container and is easily screwed off the base and acts as a sealed travel mug for any type of smoothie or blended drink. The twist top seals nicely and the pop-top opens with a click of a button on the top of the lid. There is also a heavy-duty rubber carrying handle which is nice on the go. The gradient gray color of the base also matches well with other appliances in our kitchen. Set Up & Operation: The Blast Max is packaged well and there isn’t much set up required. Ninja recommends charging the unit to 100% before the first use. There is a printed user’s manual in the box and also a QR code to scan and get the manuals electronically. The blender did need a bit of charging when received, so I took that time to read through the instructions. There are 3 modes to operate the blender: Blend, Crush and Smoothie. Blend is a manual approach that runs the blender constantly for 30 seconds. Crush and Smoothie are automatic modes that blend, pulse and pause to achieve the best results. The power and mixing option buttons also work to provide the charge level, whether there is a jam, etc. All the indicator lights are outlined in the manual. The manual also points out the best way to stack ingredients into the blender for optimum blending. I made a few different protein smoothies and a couple of mocktails to try the different blending options and can say that the Blast Max handled everyone with ease. Even a peanut butter banana smoothie, which tends to clog up my other blender, blended fully as expected. Pros: - Well-built as expected by the Ninja brand - Portable size and convenience for on-the-go use - Ability to run it cordlessly is super convenient - Travel vessel with sealed top and carry handle is a game changer for me - Battery life was exceptional - Easy to operate and clean Cons: - Charging cable is specific to the blender, so another cord to carry around - Location of the flip top when drinking is kind of awkward Overall, the Ninja Max Blast 22oz Portable Blender is a great addition to any kitchen or for people living on the road. Its portable size and battery operation are perfect in any environment. I would certainly recommend this blender to anyone looking for a single use blender that is easy to use and clean.

    Good portable blender

    This portable blender is well-designed and convenient for travel and for quick personal-sized blending; however, its chopping ability is unsurprisingly not as robust as larger blenders. The unit is lightweight (2.2 pounds), and the bottle part fastens/unfastens securely and easily from the base. The lid has a spout that is uncovered by a button release, as well as a built-in silicone handle. There are 3 different blend modes -- Blend (for protein shakes), Smoothie (for chopping fresh or frozen fruit), and Crush (for ice cubes to make frozen drinks). Switching between modes and overall operation is intuitive. In practice, it works pretty well, but it doesn’t chop fruit as well as our bigger Ninja Professional (unsurprisingly). This is a minor compromise if you want the convenience of a single-serve portable blender. Since it uses a rechargeable battery, it’s ideal for travel or camping (but this also raises the question of what to do when the battery inevitably degrades). Charging is via a 13.3V barrel-type charger -- it would’ve been nice if they used USB-C instead. Cleaning is easy -- the bottle is dishwasher safe (but be careful if you plan to wash it manually, since the blades are integrated into the bottom of the bottle). Overall, this is a decent portable blender that’s best for certain use-case scenarios, not as your main blender.

    Really Like This Portable Blender

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Ninja - Blast™ Max 22oz Portable Blender in cool gray is really a nifty machine that is well appointed for your blending pleasure. Like most of you, I have some other earlier iteration of a small individual serve-type blender to make my single serve smoothies, dressings, etc. However, in order to get the power to chop the ice and other tough food-stuff items, you really needed the power of electricity versus this battery-operated one. Thankfully in this case, the blast max is very powerful and truly portable. This blender states that it has the performance of a corded blender, but cord free and I whole heartedly agree in this case. I was very pleasantly surprised. So, the box contains the following: the twist and go vessel, the base motor, a plug-in the wall charging cord, and some user guides. First thing out of the box the user needs to charge before using. Simple enough. Then there are 3 blend modes: blend, crush, and smoothie. What you will instantly notice and be pleased about is that this motor can easily crush the ice without fail and once you push the button on one of the 3 modes it takes over automatically, you do not need to keep your finger on the button, it works through its time to accomplish the blending task. In fact, one of the user inserts instructs you on how to layer the vessel's contents-put your liquid at the bottom, then add your fruit, next add your greens, dry stuff next like nuts, seeds, protein powder, etc., and finally finish with ice or other frozen matter. Voila, press the button and let it do its job. The vessel is BPA free, 2, the top on the vessel is twist and go with a rubber handle that can be attached with a carbineer to attach to a belt to take on a walk, and there is also a push type button on the top that you can either drink or pour from and it is also wide enough to insert a thick straw, too. It is easy to use with the programs that flash different lights and colors to alert the user to what is happening during use. In fact, you can have this machine do a self-clean by filling with water and then put in some dish soap and let it go. Of course, you can manually clean it, too. Overall, I am very happy with this blender

    I had no idea how much I'd enjoy using a personal blended. I've used a full size blender at home, of course, but I had no idea how much I'd enjoy a portable model. It's great! Versatile. Fun. And money saving. I love it. Getting it out of the box was pretty easy and setup was even easier. I charged the base up, washed the components in the sink, and then went to the fridge to see what I had to make my first smoothy. As it turned out, I didn't have much, but kale and carrots are pretty good in my book and I was just trying it out. I added water to the minimum water marker, then kale and carrots. The carrots pureed nicely, the kale less so, but the drink as a whole was good and I was intrigued. The next day I went to the market and I got a frozen berry package, Greek yogurt, and some bananas. It was great! Then my coworker, who swears by her personal blender, offered me some powdered vegetable protein and I haven't looked back. I've experimented with fruits, vegetables, protein powders and more. I have added exercise to my days, and I've been losing weight (which I needed to do), feeling sharper, and feeling more energetic. I rated the blender 5 stars because I love it, but there are some weaknesses, I think. The main one is how long it takes to charge. It takes a while. I also really wish that it came with an insulated bag to hold the whole thing. Ninja offers online recipes through their website, but they're pretty boring and I found more interesting recipes searching the web. Even with the weaknesses, I love the blender! I use it daily. I had no idea how much I needed one. I recommend it to family and friends.

    Inside the box you will find the rechargeable motor base, charging cable, a 22 oz Twist and Go BPA free vessel and lid along with an instruction guide that has a few recipes to try out. On the side of the lid there is a quick release button. This button will allow you to drink whatever concoction you decide to make and take with you or to pour into a glass or glasses at home. Although this blender states it is a 22 oz blender, you can only fill it up to 18 oz. so that it blends properly. However, you could always add some fresh fruit chunks, etc. on top of the mix to fill to the 22 oz capacity. It even gives you a little paper to tell you the fill order when making your frozen drinks. The vessel has a screw on top and a comfortable silicone handle to let you just grab it once you have finished blending and go. The Crushblade assembly is great for crushing up ice and frozen fruits with ease…YUM, frozen margaritas. The vessel easily twists on and off the base. On the side of the vessel there is an oz and ml guide that also tells you how much liquid to put in and the max fill line. The base itself has a power button and three settings: blend, crush and smoothie. The battery life is pretty good as it will last up to 3 hours on a full charge. On the bottom of the base there is a silicone pad so that your blender will stay in one place and won’t slide around on slippery surfaces. The instructions state that the vessel and lid are dishwasher safe, as long as it is on the top rack, but DO NOT use a heated dry cycle. I find it easier to use a little warm water, a bit of dishwashing soap and turn it on blend to give it a good cleaning. You can always hand wash it as long as you are careful when washing the blade area. For a blender I was surprised that it is not as loud as I thought it would be. For the size, it is more powerful that you would think. I like that it is small and lightweight and love that it is portable when detached from the base. This is a must have for anyone that loves smoothies or even a frozen margarita or two.

    NINJA Blending to the Max!

    I was super excited to get my hands on this NINJA Blast Max Portable Blender! While I already own several full-sized blenders from a variety of brands, I'd yet to find a smaller, more portable model which fit my needs. Until now. This Ninja personal blender is built exceptionally well! The blending vessel is made of really thick plastic, as is the sip lid with flip-up push button cap (which snaps closed with a nice tight seal). The carry strap is made of a nice thick rubber. There are two overlapping blades (be very careful when cleaning, they are sharp!) for the built-in "CrushBlade Assembly" which does a fantastic job of crushing ice and slicing thru frozen fruit. Aesthetically, the surface of the motorized base is done in a stylish gradation of color, from silver to gunmetal black. And the rubberized bottom of the motor base ensures the blender will securely stay put on your countertop when in use. While operating, the blender isn't overly loud, either. Even though the blending vessel and sip lid are dishwasher safe (top rack, no heat drying), I prefer to clean them as suggested in the Owner's Guide - with a small squirt of dish detergent and 6 oz. water for a short 'blending' cycle. *Caution: Since the motor base of this Ninja Portable Blender is a rechargeable rather than a plug-in corded model, be aware of this when you handle the base or for storing when not in use, as it's easy to inadvertently press the power-on button. Also, read over the Owner's Guide and pay attention to the safety instructions, as well as, the proper way to put ingredients into the blending vessel for best results. Some of my favorite drinks to create with these types of personal style blenders, is shakes and smoothies. Partly, in my efforts to recreate my preferred beverages from those "places" we all know. Although I've yet to master this, I'll keep trying, experimenting, and have much delicious fun doing so. Overall, this NINJA Blast Max Portable Blender is pretty sweet! The price is just right, too. Plus, the blender's build quality matches its performance. Recommend.
