The Ninja is incredibly versatile and powerful. I use it for smoothies, sauces, and food prep, and it handles everything with ease. The blending power is excellent, and having both a blender and food processor in one system saves time and space in the kitchen. It’s very easy to use and clean, making it perfect for everyday cooking. I’m very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it

This Ninja system is an absolute powerhouse. I’ve used plenty of blenders before, but this one doesn’t even flinch at frozen fruit, ice, or anything remotely tough. The 72-oz pitcher is perfect for big smoothie batches, and the to-go cups are super convenient when I’m heading out the door. The food processor bowl is what really impressed me — it actually chops evenly and doesn’t leave random big chunks behind. I’ve made dips, spreads, and even quick salsa, and it handled everything like a champ. The controls are simple, the preset functions are spot-on, and the whole thing feels sturdy and well made. Cleanup isn’t bad at all, and the parts lock in easily without fighting them. Overall, it’s one of those appliances you end up using way more than you expected because it just does everything well. If you’re looking for a blender/processor combo that actually delivers power without being ridiculously loud or complicated, this one’s a winner.

I’ve been using this blender daily for smoothies and it has been excellent. It performs well for the price, has never given me any issues, and feels reliable over time. The blending power is consistent and it does exactly what I need it to do without any hassle. Overall, it offers a great balance between quality and price. I’m very satisfied with it.

I bought the 1600 W version, and I really like it. I mostly use it for making my morning smoothie with ice cubes, sometimes frozen fruit and other stuff. I did end up buying the bigger cup (32 oz) because the stuff I put in my smoothie filled it too full. Yesterday I took a head of cabbage and cut it up for cole slaw. The food processor works tremendously well. It was easy to clean afterwards, and I got a whole huge zip lock bag of shredded cabbage. It's not that loud on the food processor setting. I did get an error at the end for some reason, but I just unplugged it, plugged it back in and it was fine. Not sure why that happened. So far, I really love this. I do let it run for 2 cycles on the smoothie setting though to smush up all the strawberry seeds.

Great for food prepping, smoothies, and more. Blades are sharp and slices my veggies well. I love the grater. I don't buy bagged cheese, I grate my own. I can grate 2lbs of cheese in under 2 minutes. I use the smoothie cup for smoothies, sauces and coarse chopping of nuts. The dial makes choosing the right setting easy. I was able to replace my blender and food processor with this one appliance.

I love it. The blades are SOOOO SHARP! If you're like me living in the stone age without a dishwasher, BE CAREFUL washing the blades, particularly the inside edges where it meets the center. I cut my hand open accidentally about 4 times just by accidentally touching that part, and it will slice the sponge clean in half if I'm not careful. So, clean it with a brush!! I like the different attachments, although I cannot recommend using the dough mixer for bread. As someone who bakes bread pretty regularly, it's not worth the hassle and cleanup. You'd be better off using a stand mixer or just hand-kneading. It's fine for cookie dough though, and overall this beast works very well for: hummus, smoothies, cheese grating, veggie chopping/slicing, vanilla bean paste, date caramel, and ok for cookie / other non-yeast dough. The vanilla bean paste is quite an accomplishment too, because the whole bean needs to be chopped down into pieces the same size as the tiny individual seeds inside for the texture to be right - and it did it! Many will say this can't be achieved without a Vitamix but I did it with my ninja and was quite pleased! Neutral comment - it's a little loud but very powerful. The auto /smart settings are a little hard to get used to but they are useful if you give it a chance. One complaint I have, and it's a minor one but still annoying, is the inside of the big pitcher is such a pain to clean or even scrape out/scrape down. There are these stupid... lines... Bumps?that cause little extra nooks and corners on each side and stuff likes to stick in there - and makes it nigh on impossible to scrape out whatever you've made with a silicone spatula. Or to easily scrape down the sides as one does when one is mixing something thicker. Honestly this stupid design flaw was in part why I said it isn't worth it to make bread in this thing. Cleaning a sticky yeast dough off anything is never fun, but especially when your main piece has dough stuck in these stupid little pointless corners that seem to serve no purpose but to get in the way of being able to use a spatula to scrape out whatever you've made cleanly. Without these arbitrary, useless, cumbersome bits on the inside of the main pitcher, this thing would absolutely be 5 stars, hands down. Anyway aside from that completely terrible design flaw I love this thing.

The Ninja blender delivers impressive power and versatility for its price. It crushes ice easily, blends smoothies to a smooth consistency, and handles tougher ingredients like frozen fruit or nuts without struggling. The build quality feels solid, and the multiple preset modes make it convenient to use. Noise levels are on the louder side, but overall it’s a reliable, high-performance blender for everyday use.

I didn't believe I needed to purchase a food processor until I purchased this Ninja Blender. It has made cooking more enjoyable. This processor is easy to use and easy to clean. I love the side scrapping feature. I have recommended this brand to others.
