Ninja BN801 Professional Plus Kitchen System, 1400 WP, 5 Functions for Smoothies, Chopping, Dough & More with Auto IQ, 72-oz.* Blender Pitcher, 64-oz. Processor Bowl, (2) 24-oz. To-Go Cups, Grey

I am fascinated with my new Ninja blender. The power of its motor is strong and impressive—it blends frozen fruit, hard ingredients, raw and cooked foods easily and quickly in just seconds. In addition, it is very complete: it includes a pitcher, two single-serve cups, a food processing bowl, and two attachments for kneading and chopping. This allows me to prepare everything from smoothies to pizza or bread dough. Cleaning is also very easy because the blades are large and wide, which makes washing much easier. It is a very complete and high-quality kitchen tool. I highly recommend it.

Such a great unit. Love that it just mows through just about anything I throw at it. Processor is amazing, smoothies come out perfect, and the blender makes a killer margarita (add egg whites to make them fluffy). Lids don’t leak, and the customer service was awesome when I’m my first one would not get power to the unit. Worth it in the long run, but this one, not an underpowered POS. Sad I didn’t buy one sooner.

I’ve been buying ninjas for at least 12 or 13 years and this one does not disappoint. Sharp blades, efficient even with ice or frozen bananas and sturdy. I have to say when my daughter went off to college I found a ninja smoothie version of this at Walmart and it was cheaper plastic and cheaper components and broke her first year there. I still think these companies make cheaper versions of their stuff for big box stores so that they can sell it at a lower price. This purchase was a quality ninja product.

This thing is awesome! I've been able test out all three attachments so I'll review them separately and provide a overall review. Blender cup: Easy to fill assemble and use. Easy to clean blades and cups. Blades are nice and tough they cut through frozen and fresh fruit and veggies like a hot knife through butter. I do have to reblend from time to time if the frozen items get a bit clumpy but this is not a fault in the device. Blender: Nice sharp blades that go through ice without a thought. Even and smooth blending. Food processor: Good size bowl 8 cups! I've used this to cut butter into flour for biscuits and it did a great job. I preferred the actual bladed insert over the dough blade for this though. I have also used the dough blade/setting for muffin batter and was a bit underwhelmed. The bladed insert had no trouble grinding beef chunks to a good textured ground. Went through carrots without care. Super sharp and the multiple levels of blade speed up the process. That said the lid needs a chute so you can add ingredients as you mix/blend/chop. I do find this a bit annoying to have to pop the lid off everytime I want to add more to the bowl. This was the most annoying when using the processor's dough function, you end up with flour everywhere if you don't give it a few taps and shakes as you remove the lid. If they sell or sold an additional lid with the chute I'll be ordering one. Overall: This machine is very well made and well thought out, most everything makes sense. Ninja thought about the consumer would actually use the appliance when preparing food. I do wish some that same thought had been applied to the process of cleaning and maintaining the different components. There are lots of nooks and crannies on the underside of the processor and blender attachments as well as the lids so hand washing is a must. The blades are also super sharp so that adds an extra bit of challenge. This is probably one of the louder small appliances I own but that doesn't bother me but it could be a con if you live in an apartment. I enjoy all of the preprogrammed settings they make sense and add some ease of use to the appliance as a whole. This thing is nice, it has replaced three appliances that I use regularly but had to store and lug out if I wanted to blend a single smoothie or a whole pitcher. The extra parts now sit it the cabinet where the blender and smoothie blender used to be. Now it's just a matter of changing the top attachment and not having to lug out a heavy small appliance when I want to make a certain thing.

I bought this Ninja as a gift for my daughter-in-law last Christmas because I have one just like this one and every time she saw it, she said she wanted one. It's super practical, excellent quality. It has five functions. It’s XL capacity. Its blades are powerful. It includes a 72 oz. pitcher, two 24 oz. single cups with spout lips, an 8-cup precision processor bowl, a 30-recipe guide, and an instruction manual. She loves the design and color. My daughter-in-law loves it. She makes smoothies, crushed ice, milkshakes, and much more. It’s very durable and good for the price.

I always go straight to Consumer Reports "recommended" to pick out any appliance nowadays. I know of no other good way to be able to make an informed decision. This has worked well for me and I decided on this blender due to CS's recommendation. I like the tower/multiple blades for mixing/chopping, as well as the three different containers and their specialties. They each serve their functions quite well. All-in-all, this has been an excellent, powerful choice for a blender. My only beef is: why are the containers plastic? I hate the containers being plastic. We already know we ingest a credit card-sized equivalent of plastic every week. Researchers estimate that the average American consumes more than 70,000 particles of microplastics per year. I have warned my husband against scraping the sides of the two large containers when putting in the blades to attempt to avoid scratches that can sluff off microparticles of plastic. Additionally, the two smaller containers, I assume to give the plastic added strength, have verticle ridges going all around the interior of the containers. This makes it quite difficult to "scrape-off and out" of the container whatever I have blended and much is left behind. This is a very good product, but I would have willingly spent more if you'd GIVEN ME GLASS!

Great quality. Works well, easy to use, and does exactly what I need.

The best of the best! Super powerful and easy to clean! Highly recommend!
