Powerful Blender
I love my new Ninja Professional Plus blender. This very powerful blender has 3 layers of blades that easily crush ice consistantly. No ice chunks left uncrushed. I really like the Auto IQ one touch feature. You touch the select feature and it blends it for you. It pauses when needed to allow the mixture to settle and speeds up automatically to complete blending. Margar...

Pitcher cracked immediately
Had a Ninja blender from Costco for 4 months of regular use for smoothies before we noticed a huge crack across the bottom of the pitcher, which got bad enough to leak about 2 months later. Returned that and bought this one, thinking it was a newer model and hopefully wouldn't crack like the old one, but after using this a single time there was a big crack in the pitche...

Love it
Love this blender. Easy to use and works great. I've bought it for the 2nd time due to it breaking during a move and would order again if needed.

Great
I purchased the Ninja blender/processor from Costco and it is great! Well worth the money. I have been using it for smoothies, it has an automatic blending mode which is very convenient. I am still learning about all the things I can use it for. The power is amazing. The suction cups on the bottom of the Ninja are quite strong, I have had no problems with the Ninja movi...

Plastic pitcher cracks
I used the first one 5 times and the pitcher cracked. They replaced it and the second one cracked after 3 uses. The plastic pitcher can not handle the torque of the motor. Do not buy this.

It works well
It works well, but it’s not compatible with other products. You can’t use the smoothie cups or other accessories. I would recommend purchasing the ninja that comes with additional parts.

Trash. Rarely use this blender and after a year of light use the blades no longer spin.

Get it!
I have been using this blender for over two years, multiple times a day and it is amazing! I just had to replace it from dropping it too many times over the years but my smoothies are perfect

Ninja/Vitamix
I have a Ninja Blender and Food Processer in my beach house in a different country. Last Christmas I received a Vitamix blender and for the past year I have not liked it to the point I sent it back because it wasn't working properly (so I felt) They sent it back and said it was user error not the blender. I continued to use it but hated it to the point I told my husband...

Highly recommended
I received my blender as a gift one year for my birthday. However it stopped working and i contacted them for repairs. Once they assessed the problem, they realized it was not reparable. Honestly it was an easy smooth technical call. After all was said and done. I was upgraded from the model I had to the latest model. It’s been working so good for me. I’m so grateful an...

The Pitcher cracked without much use
I bought the product about 3 months ago and the Pitcher cracked at the base without much use (I use it once every 2 or 3 weeks) and wash it in the dishwasher.

Great blender, but pitcher cracks with minimal use
I bought this blender one year ago. I have used it only to make smoothies and have treated it carefully. After several months I noticed cracks in the base of the pitcher starting at the gear for spinning the blade and radiating out towards the sides of the pitcher. These cracks got worse until the pitcher started to leak. There is a design flaw that makes the material o...

Flawed design. Lasted 3 weeks
I bought this Ninja Blender in August and it worked well for about 3 weeks. There is a flaw in the design of the upper portion of the machine. The plastic Jar cracks pretty severely on 2 corners at the bottom (see pics attached). The result is the liquid pours out of the cracks as soon as you turn it on. This device might be great with a glass jar, but as is it is usele...

Great Smoothie Blender
I tried the ninja foodi smoothie maker and found the size a little small so I decided to go with this and it's been great. The size is perfect since now I'm able to put all my fruits, vegetables and other ingredients in that I like to have in my morning smoothies.

Absolutely Love! But, it won't last that long
I absolutely loveeee my Ninja. It's super powerful and sturdy. You can tell the materials used are of good quality. I've honestly been able to use almost daily for many different things. Crushes ice like no other. Smoothies come out creamy and delicious. Self clean mode is amazing. I would have given it a 5 star rating, BUT the only thing is, we've had it for about 4 ye...

Very powerful
This machine blends quickly and completely. My smoothies and soups are turning out fantastic although you must be sure to cool the soup before blending as the blender is not heat resistant. I’m glad I purchased this blender.

Great Features/Purposely Sharp Blade
This blender is the real deal. The Auto-IQ for smoothies is dead on accurate.

Beware when handling the blade tough, its extremely sharp. I sliced my right ring finger while trying to clean it. It healed:) I learned my lesson.
Add soap and water inside the blender, pulse a couple times and you're good with cleaning the blade.
