Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great blender. Enjoy making salsa. Also it great for making green chill sauce for enchiladas.

This Ninja Blender is a really nice piece of equipment! It has 3 functions including: Smoothie, Ice Crush, and Ice Cream. Additionally, you can set it to blend on Low, Medium, or High or on Pulse. This blender really shines when it comes to blending/crushing ice and frozen ingredients. On blenders that have a blade at the very bottom of the pitcher, it can really be a struggle to crush and blend ice. This blender does a phenomenal job at crushing/blending ice and frozen ingredients and does so quickly and easily. I used this blender to make a mango and yogurt smoothie with ice and it turned out great. With the frozen mango and ice added, it turned out like a very smooth and delicious ice cream using the smoothie function. It was very creamy and delicious. There were a few small pieces of ice in it, but for the most part it all blended together really well. I have not tested the Ice Crush and Ice Cream functions, but I would expect them to work great just like the smoothie function. The design of the blender is great. It is stylish and seems to be well-designed. It has a piece in the back for wrapping the power cord around for storage and the lid has a feature where it locks onto the pitcher to ensure it stays in place. It is also very easy to remove the lid with a simple release button. Additionally, there is a spout with a cover on the lid which allows you to pour the contents out without removing the lid. The bottom of the blender has suction cups that help it hold onto a counter while blending. The blade in the blender can be pulled right out which makes cleaning the pitcher a breeze without having to worry about getting cut while cleaning it. Overall, this feels like a well-designed product and the parts seem to be sturdy and of good quality. There are a few things I think this blender could do better. The gear on the blender which connects to the pitcher and spins the blade is made of plastic. While it seems to be a very hard and sturdy plastic, it would be nice if these blenders used more metal components for better durability. Additionally, it uses a simple 2-prong plug rather than a higher quality 3-prong plug. That being said, I think this is still a pretty well made unit, but it could have higher quality parts. Considering the price of this blender, I would say the parts are of good quality and definitely meet my expectations. I would have liked to see a cleaning brush included with this blender. The blade has a great design where the blades are spread out to allow for easy cleaning, but unfortunately, I did not get any sort of brush with this blender to clean the blade with. Since it is a sharp blade, it would have really helped to have had a cleaning brush included. That being said, the manual does say the parts like the blade are top-rack dishwasher safe, so that is a convenient way to clean the components. While this blender does an awesome job with making smoothies and ice creams, there is one area where it really struggles and thus I took off 1 star. It does not blend greens that well. I tried two different smoothies, one with lettuce, and one with spinach, and I did not feel like the blade blended them well. I didn't like the consistency of what turned out and the greens just didn't get blended enough for a smooth and creamy texture. If you plan to blend a lot of green smoothies, I would advise going with a blender that has a blade at the bottom rather than this tall blade. This blade design is perfect for soft and frozen fruits, yogurt, ice, powders, etc but I will not be using it with greens or at least not a lot of greens. I did not test it with nuts, but I would imagine that it would not blend nuts as finely as a blender with a standard blade at the bottom. The mango smoothie I made was delicious, it had a wonderful, creamy texture and turned out great. As long as you are using ingredients that work well with this blender, it does a phenomenal job. If you want to make ice creams or anything that involves crushing ice, this blender really shines with that and does an awesome job. I have found that blenders that have a standard blade at the very bottom struggle with frozen ingredients and ice, so that is what this blender really does well with. Overall, really happy with this blender. There are certain things I wouldn't use it for, but overall I really enjoyed the smoothies it made and the mango ice cream smoothie that I made was delicious. Not too sweet, very light, creamy, and absolutely delicious. So much healthier than regular ice cream, which I did not miss it one bit! I have included pictures of the mango smoothie that I made in this review so you can see how it turned out.

After the first order came in a thrashed box that damaged the item, Best Buy sent a second that was in fine condition. Easily remedied. So while it says I purchased it 6/3, I didn't get the working product til much later. The item works well and is easy to clean. It is very loud - louder than most blenders I feel like, but it isn't like there are quiet ones out there or anything. There is a slight burning plastic smell when it runs, especially for the longer functions like "Ice Cream" - it has worn off a bit with use and there is no smoke or heat or anything like that and it seems to be a commonplace occurrence. I just turn it on and walk away so I'm not there huffing it. I primarily use it for fruit smoothies and use primarily frozen fruits, and haven't noticed any issues with chunks left behind or anything. I haven't tried raw veg/spinach or any of that. I think that odor is my primary dissatisfaction with the product and hence the single star removal. Otherwise, it's been a couple weeks and so far so good.

This thing is a beast. My first blender. I really researched a long time. Compared to a vitamix which is basically top of the line blender, this Ninja hold up very well for way less money. I use it for smoothies, I throw in frozen bananas, lot of other frozen stuff lol..carrots, vegetables.. nuts.. this thing blends it very well together in like a minute. I love the iQ button, it takes the guessing out what setting to choose. You can still choose a setting for the type of smoothie or soup you are going to make, but so far I've only used the iQ button and it always gets the job done. It also has a clean feature, very handy. It's loud.. but duh.. it's blender. The only thing that would've been nice is if it had a glass canister, it's a minor thing. For the money you get a world class product that holds up very well against "professional" ones, I'd say this one is professional to me. Had it for over year, still works like it's new.

The blender arrived -- alas, the delivery company left it outside the patio gate in full view of the street. AACCKKK!!! The blender does its job very well but VERY noisily -- a lot of horse-power in a tiny box. It makes good smoothies and I am going to make the recipe booklet's tomato sauce recipe shortly. The top cover is a minor annoyance to clean. The container cleans up easily. The recipe book is long on smoothies and alcoholic beverages (looking forward to trying some) but short on other types of delights. A good machine for the price.

This is a good blender, but I wish the jug was glass instead of plastic, which has been scratched up pretty good already by the blades. It works as expected, and is fairly easy to clean.

Decent blender, the plastic makes it vulnerable to blending hot food. Washing it in the diahwasher has somehow gotten food particles stuck inside the handle too. Overall for the price it is a good buy. The above issues being fixed would make it easily a 5 star product. This is the second one I bought, first was 4 or 5 years ago.

Works great & much more powerful than very old blender it replaced. Easy to clean. Only negative, it’s loud... but I would buy again.

I’m very satisfied with this product! It’s easy to use and blends and crushes very well .actually it’s better then I expected

Got this one because it was good price and i trust the ninja brand. unfortunately didnt know that finding the smaller extraction blade and those smoothie cups would be such a hassle I would've gone up a bit and paid to have the other aattatchements had I known it'd be a journey through the universe just to find them. the big blade in the pitcher is removable but not adjustable in size so if you want the "extractor blade" and those mini smoothie cups just get the other model, if you're fine with this pitcher its cool but a bit much for single guy making breakfast smoothie each morning fresh

Really easy to use and clean. One step smoothie making. A little noisy but not too bad. Got it for soups. Breaks down food well.

This blender is strong, crushes ice and makes good smoothies. It was a gift to my daughter and family and they love it! They use it daily. It's not too loud for early morning smoothies. It's good at lower speeds as well to whip cream or mix ingredients. I would recommend this blender.

Amazing product does exactly what it says it provides excellent quality features get this one is will definitely make you're cooking taste better

It is an awesome blender, but for just one person, the cleaning and maintenance can be a pain (My situation). If you want something for protein shakes and smoothies, get the one that has the cup attachment for less. Also, lid already went faulty.

Strong blender but some features are more annoying to me. Suction cups at bottom of base and blade reaching to the top of the blender is not ideal

The suction cups that cling to table are great. The blade is so sharp, super careful cleaning. Took a couple slices of my finger to remind myself. It is big, so finding a convenient storage spot in a small house is tricky. But overall, great buy

Super powerful, and watch out for the super sharp blades. It liquified a whole lime (in other liquid) very easily. I use it to make morning smoothies, but only fill it a small to a small amount. I think this probably works best for large amounts of food.

I am very happy with this purchase. Makes delicious smoothies very fast. I gave 4 stars only bc I hate the handle. It’s clear and water gets trapped in it after washing.

Just bought this blender and it is an upgrade from the single serve Ninja Blender that I bought years ago (it started making a loud, jarring sound while blending - do not use hot liquids for those!) This particular blender is great for the price. It's not the most quiet blender but it's definitely much easier on the ears than what I've had to deal with before. It quickly blends and makes great smoothies. My only complaint so far is that while the plastic is durable, it can make light scratches easily. I had used a Scotch-Brite Scour Pad (which was stupid) to clean the inside after making a smoothie the first time and it made little tiny marks all in the inside. After making something, try to rinse it out right away to prevent food from sticking and wash with a regular soft dish towel.

This thing is so quality it’ll blend anything you throw in it! Turns ice go fluffy ice powder and smashed through anything for the perfect smoothie or salsa or any liquid food your heart desires!
