Yes. I am making all smoothies directly. It's easy to use and simple to wash.

Upgrader · Answer

Yes. And it's easy to fill cup with water and a little dish soap and run it quickly to clean it. Then let it sit out to dry.

Grambo · Answer

Yes you can make them directly into the cup. The blade screws out of the main blender jar and screws directly to the top of the cup and then you turn it over and put it into the motor. Very durable, easy to clean and goes into the dishwasher as well

Yes, used almost daily for two years without issue. I think blades dulled and motor overpowered them.

Enjoyed enough, I replaced original with a 2nd of same model.

It is very easy to clean, especially the seal which will get some liquid in it on all blenders. The NInja Pro was extremely difficult to clean the seal, which got gross after a couple of uses. Both the individual and large units on this model are extremely easy to use and clean. Hardest part is remembering that the blade unit screws in counter clock wise.

Yes you can Linda. I prefer making the smoothies in the cups, because you can measure it perfectly and there is no waste.

Denny · Answer

Yes! It has two to-go smoothie cups! You attach them, blend, and go!

Only if there's not a lot of ingredients in it, anything more than some milk and powder and the travel cups don't have enough room for the liquid and contents to circulate. The blender jut works great but it's not the easiest to keep clean. Also note, our model died after just over 3 months of moderate use.

Absolutely! You fill the travel cup with smoothie items, then screw the blade attachment to the bottom, then to the base. Once its done blending, you remove the blade and screw on the travel cup drinking lid. I just rinse them as soon as I finish using. There are raised plastic "seams" inside the cups, so if you dont rinse them, you have to be able to clean those with a handled brush.
