Best Ninja Blender for Smoothies Reviews Of 2021

This amazing Blender is a great option for people who want to combine style and functionality. It's also known as Nutri Ninja single serve blender with Auto-IQ since it only comes with single serving jar for personal use.

With the Ninja BL482, your smoothies can now be made to the perfect consistency. Its pre-programmed Auto-IQ feature is the strongest selling point that got me impressed. This technology allows the smoothie lovers to make their smoothies without no fuss and no hassle. This feature is very popular among the consumers.

The blender comes with three different size jars- 18oz, 24oz, 32oz. These jars are suitable for making different portion of your smoothies, especially the 32oz, which is large enough to fit a generous amount of fruits and vegetables for smoothies. The smaller 18 oz jar, which is great for making single serve smoothies or drinks on the go.

One of the coolest things of this blender is, it's auto-shutoff feature, which stops the blender when it becomes too hot.

Who Should Buy It:

If you are a cook that wants the simplicity from larger Ninja Kitchen Systems in a smaller model than the Nutri Ninja BL482 is for you. It is also a great option for young professionals looking for something stylish and efficiencies that can help them get started with a nutritious breakfast or wind down a busy day with chilled dinner.

However, if you want to make hot soup & blend hard ingredients with your blender, then this might not be the right choice. The Nutri Bullet Rx model will be your best option to go for.

The Nutri Ninja Auto-IQ compact system looks like very similar to its previous version which is the Nutri Ninja Auto-IQ BL482 model. But It's more versatile than the Ninja BL482 model.

One of the key differences between the Ninja BL482 Vs. the Ninja BL492 model is that the Ninja BL492 model equipped with the special smooth-boost technology with Auto-IQ.

The Ninja's smooth-boost is a unique technology which takes your blending process to the next level. With the touch of a button, this technology allows you to get an ultra fine, perfectly smooth and deliciously drinkable result in no time.

The basic Ninja model was the lack of a bigger jar. Thanks to the Ninja Company for upgrading their feature in this series. Now you will have the ability to blend a large amount of foods at a time with a touch of a button. 

On top of that, the extract function seems very impressive for making nutrient juices with perfect consistency. However, you can only use this function with the single jar.

It has a 40oz jar which is enough to blend and mix a large batch of smoothies, salsas, margaritas, etc. It also comes with 2 regular single serving jar and  a 24 oz stainless steel Nutri Ninja cup which keeps your drinks colder for up to 4 hrs. The jars are super easy to clean.

Who Should Buy It?

The customer loved this model for its strong motor power and versatilities. They're also raved about it's large jar size for making smoothies and shakes for family. If you just want a blender for single serve smoothie, then it's not going to be a perfect choice. You should go for the Ninja BL482 model which is strong enough to blend and mix ingredients.

The Ninja Bl642 blender is not just beauty to behold, but one of the best modern blenders currently available on the market.

It's designed to ensure maximum productivity and are equipped with five Auto-IQ functionality, a total crushing technology that guarantees 100% nutrient extraction and a whole three manual speed setting. It's equipped with a 1500 watts motor, that can handle most of the hard ingredients like- coffee beans, carrots, nuts etc.

The Ninja BL642 has a specific button only for crushing ice and frozen fruits which makes it one of the best ninja blender for frozen fruit smoothies.

In addition to three single serving jars, this unit also fitted with a large 72oz pitcher. It's indeed a smart choice for both small serving or  something more for the whole family. One outstanding feature of this budget blender is its multifunctional capability, which makes it usable as a shredder, blender, grinder or chopper.

We also like its dishwasher-safe construction, safety interlock design that ensures stability when blending. The coolest thing about this blender is the fact that the price is pocket-friendly when compared to others in its category.

Potential Issues:

Some user complain about the lids that does not seal tightly at all, but this only happens when you fill the blender to near the top of the measured markings on the container. However, this little issue can be discounted and should not stop you from choosing this blender.

Who Should Buy It?

The BL642 is intended for professional cooks or home users who demand nothing but the best from a blender. It’s 72oz large pitcher is the best option for those who often entertain guests. The blender is ergonomically designed for preparing all kinds of dishes like- ice cream, smoothie, puree, frozen fruit dessert, etc in a large batch with the larger pitcher.

If you're interested in smoothie making and food processing, all-in-one, then you can look for the Ninja BL682 model, which comes with an additional food processing bowl, that can make up to 2 lbs. of dough within a minute.

The Ninja Complete Blender System(BL682) appears to be one of the top blender in the company’s series of Complete Blender System. With a sophisticated product like this that comes with Auto-IQ functionalities which reduce any stress, you now have a reason to smile as you cook in your kitchen.

It’s very much similar to the Nutri Ninja duo BL642 model. But it’s more versatile than the previous model, because it includes few more kitchen accessories like- a 64Oz food processor bowl with a chopping blade & a dough hook. 

As like the Ninja bl642 model, the Ninja BL682 also has a special ice crushing button. The Volume measurements of 72oz pitcher are easy to read. All the parts are dishwasher safe and BPA free.

However, this blender is not great for making soup. The blender only can make warm (not hot, actually) soup with decent texture and flavor. So, you've to heat it in a microwave for a best result.

The 64oz food processor bowl that comes with the blender is the most outstanding feature that we love. It provides more versatility like- making the dough, processing hardest ingredients like nut butter, purees, dips, frozen margaritas etc.

Potential Issues:

As for downsides, there're some complaints about this blender. Some customers had a poor experience of making milkshakes and puree with this unit. The Good House keeping says that, "although the blender is dishwasher safe, but it showed minor damage after dishwasher cleaning."

Who Should Buy It?

The Ninja BL 682 is suitable for users who want their blender to become an indispensable tool which can blend anything drop into it. If you wish to have a blender that can be used as both a blender and a food processor, (without spending a single penny for a food processor) than pay your attention to this blender.

The Ninja Bl456 is one of the best single serving blender for Nutrient and Vitamin Extraction. Armed with the Ninja Pro Extraction blades, it produces excellent blends while retaining the natural taste and constituents.

Even with its 900-Watts powered motor, its performance is outstanding when compared to other personal size blenders in this range. We're really impressed with its amazing performance of crushing ice and frozen fruits within a minute. Therefore, we can confidently say that, it's one of the best personal blender for ice crushing right now.

This efficient nutrient extractor also does a decent job of chopping, blending and shredding. Though it's best for smoothies, but still you can make dips, sauces and even frozen products in it. If you're looking for a convenient, personal sized/small sized blender for on-the-go smoothies, the Ninja BL456 will be your best choice.

All the parts of Nutri Ninja Pro are dishwasher safe and removable for a complete clean up. However, the blade should be clean manually. We recommend to clean the blades immediately after use or within a short time frame.

Most of the user love this blender because of it's low price point which fits in most of the family budget. Some people appreciate this product because of it's portability. This feature makes it a best travel friendly blender.

Potential Issues:

Some people were disappointed with the longevity of the Ninja BL456 blender. They did not like the plastic finish of this blender. Although, we've also found few user who are continuously using this blender for a long period without any hassle.

Models: BL-200/201/204

The Ninja Kitchen System Pulse BL 200/201/204 series is yet another amazing blender from the Ninja team for your kitchen needs. The most outstanding of this series, however, is the Ninja BL201 and we have chosen to reveal its powerful features in this review.With its large food processor bowl and Pulse Technology System, you can be sure of a great experience if you decide to get this blender.

The Ninja kitchen system pulse blender, combine the function of many kitchen appliances. It has the capability of blending, kneading dough for pizza or bread, and processing foods.

Usability:

The Ninja complete kitchen system has no speed adjustment or Auto-IQ program as like the Ninja Duo model. The blender uses a pulse technology that means the blender, pulse ingredients  rather than  blends.

This mechanism initiates blending after you put the blade in the container and place all the ingredients in the jar. However, you need to align the lid with the bowl’s handle for it to work.Push down to pulse and blending starts. The longer you pause, the more evenly blended with your ingredients.

 It's recommended to use the four blade assembly with the 40oz food processor bowl and the single serve blade with the smaller 16oz Nutri Ninja cups.

Easy to Clean:

The blender is easy to clean, because the blades, containers and attachments are dishwasher safe. But you should never clean the blades manually as it's too sharp. The easiest way to clean Ninja pulse blender is self-cleaning process as like a self cleaning water dispenser - Fill the half of the jar with water and add few drop of detergent into the water and pulse for few seconds.

Let's watch the Ninja kitchen system in action.

The Feature we like most:

The Pulse technology, which the most advanced feature of this kitchen system, is the reason we selected it as our best choice in the Ninja Kitchen System Pulse series. It makes blending easy and fun, cutting out the time you would have used to master each button and what it does.

Whom is The Ninja BL201 Designed For?

The Ninja Kitchen System Pulse BL201 is suitable for users who wish to enjoy evenly processed creamy frozen drinks, fruit juice, protein shakes, and simple smoothies.Its power consumption is quite low and it fits perfectly in your kitchen. It’s also a great option for the people who want a blender with food processing functionalities under an affordable price.

What's the alternative of Ninja Kitchen system pulse?

The Ninja BL201 model comes with two 16oz container. So if you're going to blend a large portion of ingredients at a time then it's not the blender to go for. Rather, you should consider the Ninja Professional Blender BL610 model which is equipped with both single serve and multi-serve containers, under the same price tag.

However, when it comes to blending berry seeds and leafy greens such as spinach, I won’t recommend it. I’ll rather you consider the Ninja Complete Blender BL682/682z series because of its large processing cup and large pitcher with total crushing blade that can easily crush seeds and vegetables.

If you like to enjoy your smoothie with great consistency, then the Nutri Ninja BL 450 or Nutri Ninja Auto-IQ will be your best choice under a low budget.

Customer Reviews of the Ninja Kitchen system pulse

Positives:

It's an ideal blender which can make almost everything from making smoothies to chopping vegetables and kneading the dough. Most of the customers all had positive things to say about the Ninja Complete Blender System Pulse. They love it because, it's versatile and easy to blend as the pulse at their control.

Another reason people love this blender is, it's great price point. They're happy with their blender as it also works great as a mini food processor.

Negatives:

There're also some negative reviews of this blender. Some people found that the blender is not capable of making great smoothies. They've complained that the blender won't blend the leafy greens well, especially kale or spinach.

Some customer don't like the pulse system. They say that, they have to push down the jar to make it blend during the full blending cycle. But the blender will make you sufficiently happy If you want ultimate control over your blending task.

Some customers have encountered another issue with the dough blade which sometimes gets stuck with the ingredients. We've further investigate the reason behind this issue and the reasons are:

 1.The blender comes with less motor power which is not enough powerful for kneading the dough.

2. The 40Oz food processing bowl is not wide enough to handle kneading the dough properly.

Consumer reports stated that, you can make decent cookie and pizza dough, if you use the manufacturer’s recipe and follow their instructional manual.

Our verdict on Ninja kitchen system pulse:

The Ninja Kitchen system pulse series have stormed the market and is enjoying maximum demand and usage from a large customer base. It can handle most of your blending tasks, although it's motor power is not so high. Most of the consumers are happy with this blender as it's a multi-functional blender. This proves that these products are of top quality.

The Ninja Professional Blender series is another innovative product from SharkNinja. It's one of the best ninja blender which is continuously receiving a decent amount of positive reviews (with high ratings) from the users.

There are three models in this series, which include the BL610, BL660 and NJ600 respectively. The most outstanding out of the three is the Ninja BL660, because of its massive pitcher with single serving cups and powerful motor. With it's professional grade motor it can deliver the highest quality smoothies possible.

We will cover all the great features of this blender in this review to help you decide if it is the right choice for you.

Comparison between the models:

All the available models of Ninja professional blender series are pretty much same. However, there're slight differences. Both the Ninja BL610 & Ninja NJ600 model are same in all aspects like-motor power, accessories, functionalities etc. Both have 1000 watts motor power. On the other hand, the Ninja BL660 model has high motor power(1100 watt motor) than the previous two models.Additionally, It also comes with 2 Nutri Ninja single serve cups.

Ninja Professional blender controls

The Feature we like most:

The Ninja BL660 comes with a unique blade design that ensure the ingredients are well mixed and delivered at the desired texture. These type of blade design is very uncommon for any other counter top blender in the market. It's blade designed as a plastic shaft that surrounding by 6 very sharp stainless steel blades rather than just a blade at the bottom. This ensure proper blending of variety of ingredients. 

Whom is the BL660 Meant For?

If you want a high-powerd multi-functional but budget friendly blender then this is the right choice for you. It's also a great deal for making both single serve and family serve smoothies and drinks.

The Ninja Professional Blender BL660 is an excellent choice for the people who want to consume a smoother smoothie every day. If you want to crush ice with high consistence then this blender is the best option for you. 

If you like to prepare hot soups, nut milk and butter than this is not a perfect blender.

What're the alternatives of Ninja Professional blender?

If you don't need a massive size pitcher because you just want to create personal drinks than you should go for the Nutri Ninja BL482, which is ideal for making personal smoothies and shakes.

However, if you would like to have a multi-functional blender that can work as a mini food processor than the Ninja mega kitchen system will be the best blender for you.

Customer Reviews of Ninja Professional Blender

Positives:

A good number of Ninja customers are highly impressed and recommended this blender. Most of the customer adore this blender for its extremely powerful motor and great value for the money. Some of them compared this blender with high-end professional blenders.They also like the unique total crushing blade that helps them in processing all kinds of food evenly.

A large number of customers have very positive reviews for the single-serving cups which allows them to make personal size smoothies and take them on the go. One Amazon reviewer explaining, that even though the blender has 1100 watts motor power, it still perform as well as some more powerful blenders.

Some people love this blender because, the blade is removable which makes it easy to get the blended items out of the containers. That means the cleaning is convenient.

The Consumer reports found it "excellent" at making icy drinks (smoothies) and crushing ice. Moreover, the Ninja professional blender has done a good job at pureeing soup in their blender performance test.

Negatives:

Some customer don't like the blender as it too large(16.4 inches) which require's more space at the kitchen. But it's not an issue for you, If your kitchen has enough space.

Some people say that it's dificult to take apart and clean the blade as it's too sharp that means you've to be very careful.

Few consumer don't like the plastic parts of Ninja Bl660 because they are not durable. They say that, after using it (in a daily basis) for 12 to 16 months, the blade bottom knob wears out. They also say that, if your are not going to use this blender on a regular basis than, this is not an issue.

The Ninja Mega kitchen system is an elegant and professional looking blender series. It’s known as a complete kitchen system or Ninja mega 4 in 1 or 3 in 1, because It’s built to combine the functionalities of four different kitchen tools like – a smoothie maker, juicer, food processor and a grinder.

There're four different models (Ninja BL770, Ninja BL771, Ninja BL772 and Ninja Bl 773CO) in Ninja Mega Kitchen System Blender series. All the models in this blender line have same motor power and functionalities. The entire model in the series is equipped with a 1500-Watt motor and some other accessories to efficiently carry out these functions. The Ninja BL770 is, however, our most recommended in the series with its strong S-shaped blade for that crushing functionality.

Nutri Ninja Mega Kitchen System Performance:

Let's watch the video review below for some real kitchen action testing of the Ninja Mega Blender.

The machine can efficiently handle both simple and complex food processing tasks. The overall outcome, we found from various test is following:

Ease Of Use

The Nutri Ninja Mega Kitchen System is quite easy to use. First of all, place the 72oz pitcher on the base with the handle right of the lock. Turn clockwise. If you hear a "click", that means the pitcher is locked into the base. After that, place the 6-blade assembly in the center of the base. Place the lid on top matching the arrow on the lid to the arrow on the pitcher handle. Then push the lid handle down. Once again, you will hear a click, means the lid is locked. You are ready to blend.

To remove the lid, just press the release button on the lid and pull the handle of the lid up.

Control Panel:

The Ninja Mega kitchen system control panel is very easy to use. There are three different variable speed buttons, one single serve and one pulse button. You can select any of them and these are the pulse, speed 1, speed 2, speed 3, and single serve. Speed 1 is for dough; speed 2 is for blending and speed 3 is for crushing ice and frozen fruit. Single serve button is great for making personalize drinks with the single serve cups. The pulse button is used for pulsing the ingredients.

Cleaning Process:

All the parts of the Ninja Mega Kitchen System are dishwasher safe. You can clean all the parts with warm soapy water, although the base can not be washed as like other parts. It need's to be wiped away. Both the pitcher and food processor bowl are square bottoms, so It's very easy to clean.

The feature we love:

The Ninja BL770 is a very powerful machine, the most impressive feature is the S-shaped blade, which is sharp enough to cut through, and tough ingredients you might have. This makes it rugged and multi-functional as it can perform a wide range of functions, giving you the best value for your money.

Whom is the BL770 meant for?

The Ninja Mega Kitchen System is a professional grade blender which intended to compete with the high powered blenders like- Vitamix or Blendtec. However, if you wish to own an affordable blender which could be compared with the Vitamix then, this is for you, although the Ninja Mega BL770 is not as durable as Vitamix. I think the Ninja wins out over Vitamix in terms of versatility of accessories.

 Alternatives of Ninja Mega 1500 Watt blender?

The Ninja mega kitchen system is a great for professionals cheafs and might not be suitable for personal use. It consumes a considerable amount of kitchen space, so we would not endorse it for a personal type of blender. For a rugged blender suitable for home use, I will recommend the Ninja Kitchen System Pulse blender bl201 , but if you are in need of a machine that can double as a simple blender and a food processor, then this machine is for you.

However, If you don't need the food processor bowl, but wish to have a high powered blender similar to this model then you should consider the Ninja Pro BL660 blender.

Ninja Mega Kitchen System: Customer Reviews

Positives:

Most of the Ninja blender reviews are positive and the customers are highly impressed by the ultimate motor power and the efficiencies of this blender. 

Some reviewers mentioned it as a time-saving machine for them. They've noticed that the blender is extremely fast while blending or processing foods. They've also noticed that the power consumption of this blender is very low. It saves money on their utility bills.

Some customers love the 64oz food processing bowl which allow them to process a large amount of food at a time. Not only this, as the bowl shape is round, it allows the ingredients not to get stuck in the corner of the jar while blending.

A good number of consumers love the versatility and the great value of this blender. They also like some other feature like- easy to use, dishwasher safe accessories etc.

Negatives:

Few customers don't like the plastic material of this blender. Some of them are disappointed with the blender size which is too much for a smaller kitchen cabinet. That means if there're not enough space in your kitchen, you should consider going for something smaller.

Our Verdict on Ninja Mega Kitchen System:

The Ninja Mega 1500 watt blender delivers on its promise of multifunction and durability, which has propelled it to a competitive height. Customers enjoy the massive control they have and the push button controls that automates blending and makes it more fun. The Ninja kitchen system will take care of pretty much all your blending and food processing needs. 

If you are in search for an efficient blender at a reasonable price, then Ninja Master Prep Professional series could be of interest to you. This series has the QB1004 and QB900B models, but we will be talking about the QB1004, which is our best in this SharkNinja series.

What we love about this blender is the versatility it provides with an array of cups for multipurpose functions. In this review, we’ll take a look at the features incorporated in this amazing blender.

Ease Of Use:

The QB1004 machine flaunts a simple design that is easy to assemble and use. The pulse technology and speed control allows the user achieve just the desired result. Although several trials might be required to get the hang of the pulse technology.With two blade sets at your disposal, you have full control depending on what needs to be processed.

The feature we love:

The unique feature that caught our attention with this blender is the wide cup and pouring spout, which makes it easy to serve you smoothies straight from the cup without spillage. It also allows for large volumes of blends and this is great for families.

Whom is the QB1004 meant for?

The product is designed for users who want a blender that can perform quite a wide range of functions without consuming kitchen space. In addition, vegans will find this blender/ food processor enjoyable as it helps them maintain a healthy diet on a daily basis.

Customer Reviews:

Although the majority of the customers did pour praises for the machine, few others have also done otherwise. One complaint was about having some shards in the smoothie, which you can solve by peeling of fruits before blending them.

Overall Opinion:

If you want more for less, the Ninja Master Prep Professional QB1004 is what you want to buy. It is excellent as a personal type blender and a mini food-processing device. It is powerful but not as powerful as the Ninja Express Chop with a full-scale food processor unit, therefore, not suitable for professional cooks who will demand for more complex food processing operations.

For its features and versatility, the Ninja Master Prep Professional QB1004 is a great bargain for its price.Click here now for the best discounts on the Ninja Master Prep Professional QB1004.
