Customer Ratings & Reviews

Let me start by saying that I'm a fan of Ninja products. Own their coffee station that is amazing and have been using the 900W Nutri Ninja. Have been using that for several years and this blender absolutely makes that look silly. The shakes I'm making now are a night and day difference. Nutri Ninja requires you to do all the work and press down and hold down until you think its good enough. This thing has all the buttons programmed to do all the work and it is so nice to be able to just select something and let it go. This thing is powerful enough that it requires the suction cup feet to keep it from bouncing off your counter top. This thing does everything. It does Crushing, Nutrient extraction, juicing with a DrinkSaver option to keep your drinks fresh for 48 hours. It includes a 72 oz pitcher, removable micro-juice filter, 20 oz single-serve blending cup with a sealed spout lid. I have now been enlightened to the world of juicing and blending and will be doing a lot more of it now.

Blender looks great hand has a lot of nice features, but it doesn't blend as well as I'd like. I find it getting caught up on pretty simple blends.

I was excited to use this blender. After the first use I was impressed. Went to use it the second time and smoke started pouring from the motor. Called Ninja and they offered to send a replacement in 4-6 weeks.

This is a very nice blender, with attention to detail and features you'll love. This has 3 main features: "regular" blender, juicer and vacuum seal. I'll talk about those. Blender: This is a very powerful, smart blender with attention to detail. The lids snap on very well, with no holding down required. There are suction cup feet which keep the blender held down to the counter with no bouncing or dancing around. The Smart IQ modes actually do make it look like you know what you're doing. Depending on which one you press, it changes speeds and pauses to let the contents settle. It really does make a difference. It comes with two pitchers: 72 oz large, and a smaller almost water bottle size. Juicer: While this is not a true juicer, it does work well for what it is. There is a sleeve insert with a mesh filter. You insert this into the large pitcher, and fill with fruit. The blender then, well, blends the fruit and the juice squeezes through the mesh while leaving the pulp and large chunks in the sleeve. The juice is slightly thicker than normal, but is still very, very good for a blender that is juicing. Vacuum drink saver: This is a new one for me on a blender. This feature will suck all the air out of the pitcher, thus keeping the contents fresh. This is useful for making a smoothie for the morning, at night, and then saving it. Now you don't have to wake up extra early and wake up the whole house making a drink! This works on both the large, and small pitchers. The vacuum is strong enough to even suck the bubbles out of the drinks themselves. Overall: Very nice, capable blender. This can do a lot well, and has a very nice build quality. The features are actually useful, and not just a marketing gimmick like some other products have.

This unit is powerful - 1400 watts is over 1.8 horsepower. It’s a good thing the unit has rubber suction cups on the base or it would trot right off the counter. Our first use was making strawberry/banana smoothies. The bananas were frozen, but that was no problem. The smoothies were really smooth - no lumps (used the Auto-IQ Smoothie setting). Next we juiced up a bunch of limes to test the juicing function. Peeling limes is no fun, but we got a good amount of juice.from them and the unit cleaned up very easily. The vacuum feature kept the debris and pulp out of the lime juice. Finally, we blended a crepe mix using the Low setting and that worked perfectly as well. The number of functions and the power of this blender are fantastic. It’s clear that a lot more experimentation is in order, but some of the suggested recipes look yummy. One negative: I wish the instructions on making salad dressings were a bit clearer - it’s not clear how to add oil to get good emulsification even though there is a “Dressing” button.

This new Ninja blender does lots of things, but is really designed for folks who enjoy smoothies and fresh juice. It comes with a juicer basket, where you follow recipes to create fresh, strained juices. It works extremely well. The best part is that this is the first blender we have used that, with the touch of a button, evacuates air out of the main pitcher or the single serving cup so that you can store your creation for up to 48 hours without losing its freshness. This allows me to create a smoothie for the morning, or to create a larger batch in the pitcher for use of a couple of days. It's as simple as pushing a button on the blender. The vacuum also works with the juicer. This model comes with the base, large pitcher, juicer/strainer (that goes in the large pitcher), and a single service blending cup. We love this new blender and highly recommend it as a great way to add fresh juice and smoothies to your diet. Ninja has stepped up the game and we love it!

This Ninja vacuum blender is a very well built, sturdy blender. Once you place it on the counter the little vacuum feet lock it down and no matter what we blend the unit sits rock solid. I have made several things from pureeing vegetables and fruits to making icy margaritas and this blender never bogs down or has any problem performing the task due to its high capacity motor. The vacuum feature is new to me and it definitely keeps juices from frothing over when you blend them. This blender also includes a micro juice filter that limits the pulp in the juice. The high speed blades in combination with the filter delivers a silky smooth juice that is extremely well blended. It’s also great at turning ice cubes into very smooth slushie style drinks, there aren’t any chips left over its that good at crushing the ice. The best feature of this blender in my opinion are the seven IQ buttons. These are preprogrammed settings for extract, puree, smoothie, frozen drink, ice cream, juice and dressing. I have used most of them and they work wonderfully by automatically pausing and blending over a predetermined time depending on the button pushed. No more having to figure out how long to push what button, you just load in the ingredients and push the IQ button for fantastic results. They also include a personal sized blender cup which is very convenient for creating a juice, smoothie or a chocolate malt in a single serving size. There are a few downsides to this blender but they aren’t major issues. The power cord is very short which means you have to be close to an outlet. The main pitcher is huge, it holds 72 ounces but the downside is that it doesn’t fit under our cabinet for storage because of its combined height with the base. The vacuum is a really nice feature when making juices. It removes the air from the pitcher prior to the blending process but it can be loud when it runs. I assume for safety reasons the main pitcher is a single piece, the main pitcher has the blades built into its base however this makes cleaning slightly more difficult. My old pitcher was a two piece system where the base with the blades could be easily unscrewed from the pitcher for thorough cleaning but this not the case with this blender. Ninja supplies an adequate manual, quick guide and a limited recipe book. They are good enough to get you started but no where near extensive enough to help you unlock all the capabilities this blender has to offer. Overall I am very happy with the blender and its performance.

I usually love all ninja gadgets. Since I was in the market for a new blender and a juicer, no surprise that I graciously forked out $170+ for this juicer, right? Epic Fail for this one. All the juice came out like puree. It pulverized everything. So since I was not going to be able to juice with it, I returned it and purchased a cheaper blender and a juicer and ended up saving $50+.

This blender has so much power! It has a bit of a struggle with frozen ingredients but I found that adding liquid a little at a time helps assist. I've used it to make smoothies, frozen blended drinks and juice. By far one of the best features is the filter that keeps out the pulp, if desired. While I love orange juice with lots of pulp, we made carrot juice and of course didn't want any chunks - I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice, smooth texture. The vacuum seal that claims to keep drinks fresh for up to 48 hours works! I was so happy to find that I could make a double batch of smoothies for my son and that he could drink the second glass the next day without the ingredients separating. Overall I am highly impressed and would definitely recommend.

Worked good at first. Would occasionally not register cup so it wouldn't blend. Then i started having to hold the cup partially on to blend. NOW I HAVE TO USE 72OZ PITCHER TO BLEND A 1CUP SMOOTHIE. Just figured out where i purchased the darn thing. Will see if they will do anything. I only make smoothies with the dang in thing.

Difficult to use, don’t buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not so much value as a blender unless you do juicing heavily

NINJA is a recognized name for powerful blenders. I already had a $350 NINJA from a couple of years ago, and it is still my go-to blender, especially for crushing ice cubes for smoothies! This new Ninja DUO Micro-Juice Blender is even better. Powerful and semi quiet with the added benefit of being able to JUICE! Something I don't do very often since I'm not a real fresh fruit fan. However, this product will probably change my mind! The NINJA is a sizable appliance and stays put on the counter when blending/juicing. It is easy to use and clean and has replaced my previous NINJA's counter space.

I really enjoy using this blender for all my smoothie and juicing needs. It is a very user friendly although it may look like you would need to be somewhat tech savvy. This blender is very useful in making the smoothie for fruit bowls which I have used quiet often. I don't like chunks in my smoothie so this blender really makes it as smooth as possible in little to no time. I prepare my morning protein shakes and am up in the morning really quickly. I would definitely recommend this blender for anyone that loves smoothies, shakes, or is on a juice craze. It's a powerful blender with many capabilities.

We returned this after one use. We put ice, juice, and frozen fruit, and a little alcohol in the pitcher and the motor burned up and smoked after 20 seconds. Tripped the breaker too. Wow. Bought a different Ninja and love that one.

I will start with what plays an important role for me and is the design: It seems to me that the traditional way in which blenders were conceived has ceased to be attractive, the cubic and at the same time modern form of this blender makes it seem a bit futuristic but at the same time friendly. It has the appropriate form to perform the functions for which it was created. The size at first might seem a bit large but as you use it you realize that, whether you want to prepare something for yourself or your family, it is the right size. In particular, i like black color and being a kitchen utensil, I find it very elegant. Performance: Well, the classic custom of making a smoothie as we were taught in the past, is reinforced by the features that this blender has, you can continue doing it in the traditional way, but add functions and options that with a blender regular, you would not achieve. In particular, the option to remove the air from the cup and keep the smoothie or juice that you have prepared fresh for up to 48 hours. I have successfully used the functions included in the blender and I think they are well designed for the most common needs, each of them works effectively. It really fulfills what it promises, it has a powerful engine that crushes everything you add to the cup, it will depend on what you want to prepare, but be sure that whatever you prepare, the result will be great. Using this blender is simple and to be a high range, simplicity has not been neglected. It is easy to wash, even if you have let a few hours pass after use. The only the problem I find is that there are a couple of small pieces that get dirty constantly but nothing to overshadow its great power and simplicity. If you are a foodie or simply want to add nutritious juices or smoothies to your diet, this is a great option.

I've had a Ninja blender for a few years and its been working great. But when this blender became available, it was time to upgrade. This new Ninja blender is much more powerful then my previous one. Build quality seems much stronger and makes me think it'll last for many years. Something that I thought I wouldn't use often was the Vacuum-IQ feature. It really is cool and make blending things much easier. Smoothies come out looking darker and smoother then my personal single-serve blender. Something that I wish Ninja would do is make their range of accessories fit together. For example, my previous blender came with a dough-making attachment, but it will not work in this new one. All my old single-serve Ninja cups also no longer fit. I know it doesn't make sense from a business perspective to allow older accessories in newer machines, but it would have really heightened the whole experience. If you are looking for a blender that is powerful, easy to use, and great quality, then the Ninja DUO blender is the one to get.

Didn’t work, took it back to get a replacement and the replacement didn’t work as well. I got me a vita mix. No problems here

Power supply problem ,so disappointed with the product

This thing is great, I've always had cheap blenders with an on or off switch, and maybe a speed setting. Being able to hit a button and know that blender is capable of adequately handling different types of foods/drinks. The juicing filter does a great job filtering out the thicker particles from juicing, some of the smaller ones get through though, but that's ok I don't think that vacuuming at the time of blending really affects the beverage that much, but being able to prep the night before and vacuum sealing can prevent some flavor changes. Downsides I've run across: it's really loud (but most blenders are so not surprising), it smelled like the motor was burning after the first use but that has gone away, and I'm not a fan of the suction cup feet.
