Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

I love the larger cup and how easy it is to clean. It's a powerful portable blender and I feel like I've tried them all. It has three modes: blend, crush and smoothie. I mostly use the smoothie option. I make protein shakes that can get pretty thick. I've blended fresh fruit/vegetables, frozen fruit, ice, protein powder, and oatmilk with ease. After a few spins, it's perfect.

This blender is amazing! I mainly use it to blend my milk and protein powder into a shake because I got tired of mixing it with a spoon in a glass and drinking clumpy mess floating on top of the milk. Now, my protein shake is thick and perfectly mixed. As powerful as this blender is, I can imagine it makes really good fruit smoothies also. Easy to clean up and because the blades are attached to the cup inside, you don’t have to wash the motor base. Buy this Ninja portable blender. You won’t be disappointed.

Works excellent!! Got this as a gift for my boyfriend. He always makes smoothies and I wanted to get him something I knew he'd use. Blends fast and easy to clean and a plus that it has a pop top for easy drinking. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing blendwe and easy use, very user friendly and absolutely love how small and portable it is.

Highly recommend this item, great product!! Quick & easy to use!!

Powerful with a good battery. Very easy ro use and clean.

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.

The Ninja Blast Max is a really cool mixer, blender, smoothie maker. My version of the Ninja Blast is the Max 22 oz portable version. I am not sure what other versions are out there, but this one is just about the perfect size for making blended drinks on the go. The only issue I seem to have is keeping by teenage daughters from hogging the unit to the point I can't use it. The blender is compact, battery powered and easy to use and clean. All the things that are important. On top of all of that, it does a great job performing what it is supposed to do, mix and blend. The unit comes with a base, charging cable and a 22 oz container that houses the blades. The container has a removable lid with a drink spout that easily twists off of the motor base so that you can take it with you on the go. The 22 oz container fits easily into almost any car cup holder making it the perfect travel companion. It also comes with a handy wrist strap that makes it even easier to carry. It has three of what Ninja calls IQ settings. Blend, crush and smoothie (which is probably the one that gets used the most). The auto IQ is designed to give you the perfect results and so far, I have been impressed. The power button has the battery indicator so you can easily tell when the blender needs a recharged. So far, the battery life has been great for me. If you like blended drinks and smoothies and are a person that is always on the go, this is the perfect combination unit for you and the 22 oz size means your not gonna run out of your favorite drink anytime soon.

I love my Ninja Blast Max 22oz Portable Blender, especially the cool grey color. I have been looking for the perfect small portable blender and the Ninja Blast Max came along just in time. The Fill Order line design and features in making the Smoothie for beginners so easy. The cord free Ninja Blast Max makes it very convenient to use and take your drink anywhere. It has line indicator levels from 1 to 5 in blending and preparing your Smoothie. 1. Adding liquid 2. Fresh fruits 3.Leafy greens 4.Dry ingredients 5.Finish with ice or frozen ingredients. The Control Panel offers Programs to avoid any mishaps and to make sure you get the best speed whether you Blend, Crush, Smoothie when using the Ninja Blast Max. The One-touch Auto IQ programs easily in crushing ice and blending Smoothies for the best taste. I purchased a frozen bag of frozen fruit along with almond milk and made made delicious Smoothie. With a 20 percent larger capacity you can create frozen drinks, protein shakes that the former series can't duplicate. My Ninja Blast Max came as solid green for fully charged but also has real time reading when a charge is needed. The clean up is so much better compared to a full size blender and dishwasher safe. Ninja-Blast Max is the best quick and easy way enjoy a Smootjie on the go.

I was super excited to try this Ninja Blast Max out. I recently started doing protein powder shakes and was really wanting to move into smoothies as a different avenue to incorporate more protein into my daily diet while taking some of the "edge" off the taste/consistency/after taste of protein powders which truly never go away. After unboxing this, I was a little nervous. It looked a little bit on the short side. I let it charge for about 3 hours and at that point, showed it was at a full charge, so I got to work making a smoothie with fresh fruits and veggies. I added a few splashes of coconut water, 2 scoops of bananas, ~10 sliced strawberries and pineapples and I tried to cram some spinach in there too but I was already at the fill line. So I hit the "Smoothie" button and nothing happened and a quick trip to the Quick Start guide let me know I needed to check the attachment of the Vessel to the Motor Base and sure enough after un-securing and re-securing the lock mechanism, I was blending. The Smoothie button did 4 separate start and stop blends of the ingredients and once that was completed I added a handful more of spinach and a couple of scoops of sugar-free ice cream and to my surprise, even though these were added to the top - after I hit "Smoothie" you could hear the exact moment during the second blend cycle when that ice cream and spinach made its way down to the blades and it ended up being blended in so well, you couldn't even tell it had been added after the fact. You really don't even need to add ice, which usually waters the smoothie down anyways. The vessel has a lot of really-well thought out features too. The lid clicks and locks into place when it closes and it's leak-proof due to a rubber seal in the lid. A press of the button releases the lid and if you push the lid back from being angled to being flat and flush it locks into place so when you're sipping it's not pressing against your face. There's also a little air hole which prevents you from creating a vacuum when you're drinking from the spout. It also has a built-in rubber carrying handle. The vessel feels very sturdy in terms of build quality. Cleaning literally only took a couple of minutes. I recommend hand washing - the instructions suggest soap and water into the vessel and putting it on the base and running the "Blend" cycle. After doing this I hand washed it and set it out to dry. I'd be curious to use the "Crush" feature to make slushy drinks with the crushed ice. All-in-all I think Shark-Ninja hit this out of the park. It's very easy to use and it comes with easy to follow fill order instructions and a Quick Start guide that guides you thru all the functions -- i.e. what all different colors and indicators on the control panel do -- blending instructions and cleaning instructions. It also comes with a regular wall outlet connector. For individual usage, this is literally the perfect portable blender - another innovative product from Shark-Ninja that I can't recommend enough!

It seemed to me a couple of years ago, portable blenders became a rage. A lot of companies seemed to come out in this market pushing a portable smoothie maker. I even had a couple of different ones, but none really did what I wanted. What I wanted was a blender that could do what a big blender did without taking up all the space of a big blender. With the Ninja BlastMax 22oz Portabloe Blender, I finally have what I am looking for. For starters, this is easy to set up. You pull out the rechargeable base and set it up. The amount of space it takes up is about a quarter of a usual Ninja blender. Then you fill the vessel with whatever you want to blend, and then you are ready. Twist the vessel onto the base and hit go. It really is that easy. You actually have three different settings to blend with. You can select Smoothie, Crush, or Blend. This is way better than the other portable blenders that I have tried. The “crush” setting works well on ice and can make a nice juicy slush. “Smoothie” works great with frozen fruit. And with blend, I even liked to make milkshakes. This has actually now replaced my big Ninja blender. A lot of times, I am not blending huge amount of stuff. This is the perfect size for me. My daughter has even used it to blend up a pancake mix using just eggs and banana. It works great for that. The nice thing is that once the ingredients are blended, you don’t need to get another glass. You can drink it straight from the vessel. There is a pop open top which allows you to drink straight from the container. There is even a small little carrying tab which allows you to take it on the go. The container even fit in my car’s drink holder. It was perfect. Everything about this blender is great. It has a small footprint which makes storing it very easy. Also, it really is excellent to take on the go. It is perfect to take to a hotel and blend up your own smoothies or drinks when you are away on the road. Cleaning is also easy. The container is dishwasher safe and also easily washed by hand. In the end, I really love the Ninja BlastMax Portable Blender. And even though it is marketed as a portable blender, it still can handle 95 percent of what I need a blender for. With its small size, it is perfect for dorms or other small kitchens. I could see this being perfect for a college student as well. They could mix up a drink in the morning and then take it with them to class. I recommend this blender to anyone.

This charger works well and is easy to use. It does not come with a charge out of the box so you will need to charge it first. It comes with the blender, a mixing cordless-rechargeable base, charging cable. and sipping lid. It is dishwasher safe and comes with an instruction/inspiration book, but does not include any recipes like the book implies. The blender with base is a little bulky for real portable use. After my first charge the mixer was easy to use and I got a few mixes out before needing a recharge. This worked well for me to keep at work and mix a smoothie up, or I can fill it in the morning and store until lunch. I had to look up additional recipes and mixing suggestions. It recommends you put liquids in first and ice and solids last to keep from jamming up the blades. This worked well for me the few times I used it. I also ran it through the dishwasher and it seemed to be fine with no damage - the dishwasher safe is a big plus for me. In all, I would recommend this blender. It comes with everything you need except recipes and mixing suggestions. It carries a good charge for use after you fully charge it once out of the box. It is easy to drink right from the mix bottle and it's dishwasher safe.
