The smoothie was chunkier than the milk at my grandmas house

It helps to invest in a good blender. I use the Ninja Pro 1000 (BL610) and it wrecks everything I put in there.

YouTube— neutral

I have it and like it except the “blend sense”, that drives me crazy!

Meh Forum— neutral

This is a good blender. This is a good price. But there’s no way to wash that dumb blade without cutting yourself. Be careful with this thing.

I can do the same things with this ninja blender at home and the blades help so much when making smoothies.

I tried blending it for like 3-5 mins, it comes out not chunky but still very gritty.

I think hard water stains will build up in hard to reach places. Probably not easy to clean if you can't take it apart. But better than many.

If you want the best cheese possible using cashews, a Ninja won't quite do. You'll get a smoother result with a Vitamix-teir blender.

It's the bomb because while it's not CHEAP, it's not overly expensive either, it's dishwasher safe, the blades lift out easily and the jug is solid so it doesn't leak. It has enough power that it liquifies almost anything. It's the best $100 I've ever spent!

I have one and it's awesome super powerful

These would be decent blenders if they weren't made almost entirely out of plastic.

Meh Forum▼ don’t recommend

Finally opened it today, and it died on the first blend. Started emitting toxic rubber-smelling smoke from the motor after 5 seconds.

Reddit▲ recommend

Really easy to use, it's no louder than a small vacuum cleaner, and really easy to clean as well. The lid has a flap at the top so you can pour it into your containers easily.

After three minutes of blending, the greens were still only partially broken down, making the smoothie come out a little grainy

Slickdeals— neutral

these blenders are LOUD. Very, very loud. Great at making smoothies though!

Slickdeals— neutral

These are powerful - just don't drop the pitcher because it cracks ez

Noise levels are loud on high speed, akin to a jet engine warmup, which might disturb light sleepers or quiet mornings

I bought a Ninja a year and a half ago to replace my 10 year old kitchen aid blender. What an upgrade. Use it every day for my post work out shake which includes ice and frozen fruit (along with protein) and still works great.

I was looking for a ninja because that’s what I already had and this looks like it might just be my replacement

This is overpowering food processor at best. So much big chunks of green, how you call them smoothie?

I have this at my house, I Have had no issues with it. Not super cheap but not vitamix expensive either.

Lid falls apart so easily and they have cut corners in every part

Why is it so chunky . A smoothie needs to be .. well, smooth

Reddit⚠ product link▲ recommend

Absolutely! I’ve got one of these blenders. Pretty cheap and they have multiple sets of blades going through it. Simmering the ingredients make them very soft so then I put them in here, turn it on high and play video games for about 10 mins and then come back and it’s all smooth! I actually bought this blender a few years ago when I got into making hot sauc
