Ninja - Mega Kitchen System 72-Oz. Blender - Black

"Ninja-1200 Kitchen System" has greatly improved, reinvented, and redefined the meaning of the blender. Note, that this review can just about apply equally to their updated 1500watt model, only designed with basically fewer attachments and, therefore, requires slightly less power consumption. On this model, both sensibly sized 40-ounce and 72-ounce containers come equipped with respectively compatible blade assemblies. The ingeniously simplistic concept of the ultra sturdy, sharp, and contoured multi-blades are clearly the actual reason for the capacity to accomplish amazingly fast, thorough, efficient chopping, pulverizing, mixing, blending, etc. Any kind of food item from, for example fresh carrots to ice-cubes, are altered and created into a liquid or any other form you may wish, with the mere touch of your preference of speed button. Nutrition can be enhanced with the easy preparation of any one, or a combination, of various healthy, fresh foods as they become created into any of many conceivably desired recipes, such as beverages, shakes, soups, even cake or cookie dough. If you want to do it, this device will help with speedy efficiency to help you make it happen. All container contents from bottom, middle, and top will be managed by the multi-blade assembly. Plus, with the more than sufficiently powerful motor, it is capable of unparalleled performance. Some might be initially thrown by the strong, loud motor rotation and vibration, though you'll soon realize this is literally telling you that the job is getting done amazingly fast. The base locks onto a flat surface for security and each container is accompanied with an accurately fitting, durable, locking lid for safety and cleanliness, since the contents will be processed at an incredible pace. My family and I, as well as numerous others we know of, have been struggling with the disappointing and frustrating inferiority of those previous, old-fashioned units or modern blenders- inclusive of claims of so-called professional grade models. The inefficient results of those models leave the user feeling as if they failed when, conversely, product manufacturer's claims failed the consumer. Then, so unfortunately, the user gives up and returns to seemingly convenient, processed, readily prepared but unhealthy junk foods. The amazing efficiency of "Ninja's" enhancements will, instead, make you feel like a winner and provides nutritional benefits that will make you feel healthy. Availability of the "Ninja Kitchen System-1200" at Best Buy leaves you assured of paying a reasonable price and while, fair pricing of excellent quality products is a definite consideration to me, the nutritional enhancements of this great product and, investing in my own family's nutrition, had been my primary considerations. You may likely question, "Why, in this world, would this person whom we don't even know say so many good things on this product review?", and that's a very understandable point. My answer is straightforward in that more people need to exhibit good-faith and share knowledge with one another of helpful stuff, and I can only hope at least some others may join me in spreading good -faith. In any event, we can certainly still care for ourselves, so join me in purchasing this fantastic product and begin living a healthier lifestyle.

I bought this blender locally because I did not have the money for a vitamix, Well it was a big mistake. The big blender pitcher was never really that great it always left my drinks gritty even after having it on for minutes at a time, plus it would leak through the pour spout on top even if I was under the max line. So I basically bought a blender to only use the processor and single serve cups -.- . Now the processor wasn't bad but I noticed it started collecting grime on the bottom near the part that the base connects to to make it actually spin and also in the handle. Both of which cannot be cleaned because you would need to unscrew the bottom part to get to the grime and when I went to go do that I noticed where the screws are the plastic was cracked, meaning if I took the screws out the plastic would crumble and I wouldn't be able to get it back together and it would be useless. And the single serve cups were to only way I could make smoothies and they were always waaay to small and also would leak. But mainly my reasoning for the bad review is because of what happened the other night. I plugged my blender in and it tripped my outlet, So I reset the outlet and plugged it in again, pressed power, nothing happened the light didn't come on. So I reset the outlet again same thing nothing happened, tried a different outlet, nothing happened. Tried something else in the outlet to make sure it wasn't my outlets and the hand mixer turned on. Very upset, I took the blender to another outlet somewhere else in the house and still would not come on. I've only had this blender for a year and a half and it is already dead. Don't waste your money on this faulty blender...

I had heard a lot of good times about the Ninja Blenders; some friends and family members have purchased them. I wanted to get one but was a little reluctant because of the price - the model I liked was $200. I decided to purchase it because of all of the health benefits it could provide. Of course, as I am checking out, I am asked by the cashier if I would like to purchase Best Buy's warranty in addition to the one that comes with the blender (1 year). With the money I was already spending, I decided not to. Unfortunately, less than a month later, the pitcher became defective (the part that spins the blades literally dropped out from the bottom of the pitcher). I took the blender back to Best Buy and was sorely disappointed when I was told because I hadn't purchased their warranty, I would have to deal with the manufacturer. I have heard of nightmares of friends calling Customer Service lines and not being able to get any useful help whatsoever. Additionally, I would have to pay for the shipping - I was not happy. I went to Ninja's website and noticed that they have a Chat you can use. I thought, "why not"? I clicked on the chat link, got a quick response, told my rep Megan what my problem was and waited for the list of charges and detailed instructions I would have to follow to fix the problem. Megan asked me four questions: 1) how can I help you; 2) what is the model number; 3) where did you purchase it; 4) what was the date you purchased it. She then asked me for my address and told me she was sending me a replacement pitcher at no cost to me and that I should be receiving it by FedEx in 3 to 5 business days. WHAT???? I don't have to pay anything? We don't have to argue back and forth? I don't have to call you names? This is what I call REAL customer service. Needless to say, I am a customer for life!!!

I was reluctant at first to spend this kind of money on a blender/food processor, but had heard so many great things about the brand, and wanted something that would hold up to regular use. I decided to take the plunge, after all, you get what you pay for, right? Well, it was great for the first three months or so of use, even making smoothies 4-5 days a week. Then, I started noticing some fine, hairline cracks in both the blender and processor bowl. I should’ve said something then, but didn’t. Now, it’s less than one year since I purchased this and the processor bowl is completely cracked open and leaking brown liquid everywhere, and the blender bowl is not far behind. I took the screws out to take the bottom off and was horrified by what I found. I’m very upset that this pricey piece of equipment didn’t even make it a full year before I had to start throwing parts of it out. Ninja really needs to make glass bowls for their blenders if they are going to charge that much. Will not purchase again.

This blender works great. It is very powerful, it will blend up anything, it is versatile and smoothies are so good for you. We even purchased a food processor/cheese grater attachment (have to purchase directly from ninja) and it works terrific. The only complaint is that it is very noisy, even to the point of insanity. All the other comparable, expensive blenders are quite loud also. There was a problem with the blade base for the small, single serving blender containers. I called the manufacturer to get a replacement blade base and they sent me a completely new blender and full set of blender containers. They also sent me a return label for the old unit and accessories. Once I received the new unit and set it up, full knowing that it was working well, I sent the old back. That is one of the best warranty return customer service experiences I have ever had with any company. The only other companies that have comparable warranty service is Apple and Nintendo.

The Ninja System has become one of my family's daily used utensils. I make smoothies in the single-serve cups every morning for me & the kids. I also use these cups for making quick nut-butters or bread crumbs (from croutons). Clean up is super easy if you do it right after using. The pitcher blade is easily removed but a little tricky to clean if you've got something thick on it. It was a little confusing when I first started getting used to how the lids work because you have to match the arrows and secure the lid down before the machine will even start - great safety feature since the blade is not secure without the lid. There are several pieces to this system, and they're pretty clunky and difficult to store. I don't worry about that too much tho, since I still use the machine daily. That being said, I still recommend it to my friends & they have bought it based on my recommendation and are happy with it too. All-in-all I am very satisfied with this purchase, its the best machine I could afford while I'm working my way up to a VitaMix!

I just love my ninja. I am always a little apprehensive about spending a lot of money on something that claims to be the great and has constant infomercials. But I have to say, I would have paid more for this....My son makes fruit smoothies every day and uses the personal cup that comes with it. I have used the processor for just about everything but my favorite is making tomato sauce fresh from tomatoes. Is crushes the tomatoes just perfect. I really bought it for the use of the dough blade, I like to make pizza dough and cookie dough. It works wonderful. After you use this blender for tropical drinks you will throw your old blender out. Unlike other machines I have that you avoid to use because it takes too long to clean and not worth the effort. The ninja cleans up really easy. No cracks or crevasse that things can get caught up in. I have to say, I never review anything but I really felt this was something to share...

I have only owned this product for about a week and used it a couple of times for Margaritas and smoothies. The product does perform well, and includes several useful accessories, if you have space to store them. The build quality on the other hand, leaves much room for improvement. The 72 oz. pitcher and 8 cup processor bowl is made from cheap plastic that will not stand up to heavy use year after year. The single serve cups are also plastic (to be expected) but seem to be of okay quality, comparable to other travel mugs/cups. With light use and proper care this blender can serve you well for many years, but a heavy user can expect to replace this item after a year or so. I would only recommend this product for light use or to someone who's budget doesn't allow them to invest in a higher quality product or if you truly need/want all of the accessories this includes. I believe you can find a less expensive, higher quality blender that will produce similar results if you do a little research. When it's time for me to replace, I will invest in a better product.
