Ninja - Professional 1000 3-Speed Blender - Black/Silver

I was undecided between this and the Nutri Bullet until I did some research. I found many, many reviews including you tube videos that said that the Nutri Bullet leaks from the gasket area. I did not find any that said that about the Ninja. Having already had a regular blender that leaked a little, I did not want that to happen again, especially not at that price range. When I went to look in the store at the two products, I was shocked at how little the other blender's "pitcher" is and how little it would hold. I like to use 2 cups of spinach plus many other ingredients to make breakfast smoothies and the other brand would not even hold just the spinach from the way it looked. So, I bought the ninja. I am glad that I did. Now I can see why it doesn't leak- because the bottom of the pitcher does not come apart. It's all one piece for the entire pitcher which is nice because it will never leak. It also makes it very easy to clean because the food doesn't have anywhere to get stuck. Very powerful blender that works very well!

I've had several blenders over the years, the most recent a Cuisinart, mostly in the $50-$60 price range. They are all in the garbage or on a thrift store shelf by now. After reading reviews, I decided to spend a little more and wow it has been money well spent. The jump in quality that small investment buys is apparent in every detail of this blender. I've been really surprised by just how well-built this thing is for the money. Everything about it feels really solid and well-made, and all of the parts fit together snugly. There is plenty of power for making smoothies with completely frozen fruit and all those blades pulverize ice easily. The front panel buttons have a nice positive feel and the panel itself is easy to clean. I love the locking lid but use the pour spout only for adding additional liquids during blending. The blending pitcher is easy to clean (I have yet to put it in the dishwasher) and soap rinses away easily. It locks onto the base with a satisfying and positive click. A nice touch is that the removable blade shaft fits over a fairly tall spindle so it doesn't fall out every time you tilt the pitcher (but I still recommend holding it in place when you pour.) If you like lots of choices or have a need for timers or dozens of speeds, this may not be the best choice for you. I've always been a bit of a minimalist in that area (my Bonavita coffeemaker has exactly one button), so the "3 speed with pulse" model is perfectly adequate for me. I'm very happy with this blender purchase and highly recommend it if you can spend a little more money to take the next step on a better blender. I can't imagine really needing a Blendtec or Vitamix for home use with this option available.

This product works wonders for all of our needs around the kitchen. We've used this for nuts, vegetables, and fruit with no problem. Good buy for the price.

This blender kicks butt ! It is very powerful and shreds ice like it's angry. Easy to use and easy to clean up. Great for smoothies!

This blender is the best out on the market for the price. The blades are extremely sharp, and there are three elevated blades (more like very sharp swords) in the blender, of which creates a vortex / tornado inside, which ensures that everything gets blended, top to bottom. The product also seems to have an exhaust fan system, making sure that the unit gets adequate cooling during it's extreme blending process. The power this product packs is PLENTY. Very cool product and packaging. Also has a bunch of other safety mechanisms to ensure that you don't get hurt by the SWORDS. Very large and plentiful in room, container. Highly recommended.

We use this blender several times every day to make protein shakes. It is very easy to clean quickly in the sink. I have also used it to make a baja sauce and to blend walnuts. The blades are superior and I can't say enough about it. We used to have a regular blender that just couldn't keep up with us and finally started smoking. This is a great blender!

The Ninja Speed Blender is excellent. It chops and blends the fruits easily. Easy to wash. Very handy but sturdy when your using it. This it the best for me.

Great item, love the security lock on lid . Blends fast and efficiently . Great for making healthy shakes.
