Personal cordless blender with amazing power
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Smoothies on the go! Ninja makes some really great products and this one is right up there with the best of them. I never put much stock in a battery powered blender, but after I tried this one, I couldn't believe how well it performed. Ninja always seems to engineer their products from a user perspective and always delivers items that not only perform well but bring added features you didn't even know you wanted to the table. The 22oz. Size blending cup is the perfect size for smoothies and personal drinks. My wife and I both use it for healthy smoothies and I can see it's already going to come in handy and get a lot of use. I really like the carry handle that's built right into the lid. It's got a soft silicone feel to it and it's set up to slip all your fingers through when you are drinking from it. The flip top is perfect for taking it with you in the car as long as your drink isn't too thick, as the opening is a little on the small side. Speaking of taking it with you, both the no leak blender cup and even the battery base will fit inside a standard car cup holder. The blade is built into the cup but it is dishwasher safe (on the top rack, no heated dry), so not really a problem. The cup installs in the base and twist locks in place. The rechargeable base is super powerful. It blasts through ice and frozen fruit like nothing. For as compact as the base is, I was really amazed at how easily it crushed anything frozen. Not sure how long the battery is supposed to last but we've made smoothies for three days on the same battery charge and the power button is still green. I like the control panel, it's intuitive and easy to read. The Crush and Smoothie buttons use what's called the Intelligent Auto IQ programs. These buttons only need a single press and run the programs to create consistent drink results. The Blend button is a manual button that runs it for 30 seconds. In the center is the power button which also acts as the battery indicator by changing color as the battery drains. Actually, it only has green and red for status colors, so if the power indicator turns red you need to charge it, simple as that. As far as charging, it's a bit disappointing that if I want to bring it anywhere, I need to remember to bring the specific wall charger it came with. I already have a large number of cords and chargers to keep track of and this will just add to that mess. I would have liked a more universal way to charge the base using a charger I already own along with a more standard type of charging cable. I mean there are chargers I have that will easily charge a laptop, I don't think it would be a stretch to use the same type of charger for the Ninja Blast. All in all, I really like the Ninja Blast. It's highly portable and cordless. It has an amazing amount of power for such a compact design. The cup and lid are unique and leak proof and the control panel is easy to use and not overly complicated. And just for fun it comes in 7 different colors. What's great about it: Tons of power to crush ice and frozen fruit Intuitive display panel with easy operation Compact and self contained Cup (and base) fit in a car cup holder Good battery life What could be better: The hole in the lid could be bigger A more standard method of charging

Great for fresh. Not so much for frozen.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn't do frozen stuff very well. If you prepackage and freeze your ingredients, don't use this blender. It's best for fresh ingredients and a few ice cubes. Not much more.

Great for On-The-Go
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Inside the box you will find the rechargeable motor base, charging cable, a 22 oz Twist and Go BPA free vessel and lid along with an instruction guide that has a few recipes to try out. On the side of the lid there is a quick release button. This button will allow you to drink whatever concoction you decide to make and take with you or to pour into a glass or glasses at home. Although this blender states it is a 22 oz blender, you can only fill it up to 18 oz. so that it blends properly. However, you could always add some fresh fruit chunks, etc. on top of the mix to fill to the 22 oz capacity. It even gives you a little paper to tell you the fill order when making your frozen drinks. The vessel has a screw on top and a comfortable silicone handle to let you just grab it once you have finished blending and go. The Crushblade assembly is great for crushing up ice and frozen fruits with ease…YUM, frozen margaritas. The vessel easily twists on and off the base. On the side of the vessel there is an oz and ml guide that also tells you how much liquid to put in and the max fill line. The base itself has a power button and three settings: blend, crush and smoothie. The battery life is pretty good as it will last up to 3 hours on a full charge. On the bottom of the base there is a silicone pad so that your blender will stay in one place and won’t slide around on slippery surfaces. The instructions state that the vessel and lid are dishwasher safe, as long as it is on the top rack, but DO NOT use a heated dry cycle. I find it easier to use a little warm water, a bit of dishwashing soap and turn it on blend to give it a good cleaning. You can always hand wash it as long as you are careful when washing the blade area. For a blender I was surprised that it is not as loud as I thought it would be. For the size, it is more powerful that you would think. I like that it is small and lightweight and love that it is portable when detached from the base. This is a must have for anyone that loves smoothies or even a frozen margarita or two.

Disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not all I was hoping for. Have to scrape the sides very hard to get everything blended to the fill line. If your looking for a product that you will use powder and fruit with I would go look for something cheaper. My son broke my magic bullet smoothie/ blender really wish I had just rebought that never a complaint or unmixed ingredients!

Sleek, Slim, powerful
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has become the PERFECT blender for our small appliance heavy counter. We are not overly crammed for space, but the counter is getting filled: Air Fryer, Pressure Cooker, Coffee Pot, and full sized BLENDER. This Portable Blender is great for multiple reasons, first the important ones. It makes pre-made smoothies and even custom smoothies easily, quick simple push button, right into a usable cup. Easy. Small nock on the placement of the latch, but overall not an issue. There are times I wish there was more than one cup for it, so we can blend and drink... and then blend another for someone else. (instead of blending, pouring into another cup, washing, then the next one). We have used it multiple times, while not plugged in, and well the battery life is good, but we haven't pushed it, and it still retains all it's power, as compared to when it is plugged in. The fact that the adapter fits IN the cup, makes this really easy to store and put away, and travel with when necessary. The slim design also is GREAT on the counter, as I mentioned earlier. it is 1/3rd the size of a traditional Ninja blender, and takes up little space (it even tucks behind the curves of the pressure pot, taking up even less space.

Ninja coming out strong, blend on-the-go, gym
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rechargeable blenders are fairly limited at the moment in what is available on the market and known name brands. Ninja did great with the limited amount of packaging used; it’s easy to open and recycle when done. Out of the box, there’s the main cup, rechargeable base, power pack, quick drink recipes and instructions. Prior to first use of the blender, it will need to be charged fully to ensure the initial charge on the product has been met. Charging is noted as complete when the light is a solid green. Design. The blades are tied to the main cup for the unit, leaving the base behind when done using this for your pre/post workout drinks and other quick blend items. Most other portable blender brands leave you with having to carry the entire unit together as an assembly or leaving you with the need to find a power source to use it. Because the base is rechargeable, this means you can use it anywhere and anytime. The separable base is great as it removes the everyday challenge when cleaning the cup and blades by removing the possible water exposure to the electrical components leading to main unit damage and increasing overall longevity of the product. One additional advantage to this is the blend cup is dishwasher safe. One good use example is as follows: After gym workout, blend before leaving the gym or in the car by leaving the base in your cup holder, drink your smoothie on the way home, and place the blend cup directly into the dishwasher. Blend Options. Blend, Crush, and Smoothie. All of these options work well. The blend option worked well with making a quick small batch of salsa as a take along for my weekly meal plan. The Crush option worked well with crushing the regular sized ice cubes (4-6 pieces) into smaller pieces prior to using the smoothie option. The Smoothie option works really well without the need to crush the ice prior actually making your smoothie. Whether using ice, a combination of frozen fruits, or even ice and protein powder. With the blend cup being ~22oz, it has plenty of room for a single drink or a drink for two. Run-times. Run times on a full charge will vary depending on how “hard” you are pushing this blender. During my uses and taking this to the primary levels for the gym, I am able to get drinks almost a full 7-days, with around a half to 1 cup of smaller ice from the ice machines. Highly recommend for anyone that likes to take drinks on the go and need a quick use blender.

really nice portable blender.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first portable blender so I didn't know what to expect. I thought they wouldn't be strong enough to crush ice or handle frozen fruit chunks when blending. It is strong enough to handle most of what I've thrown at it. I did add too much frozen fruit and cream to one smoothie and it did freeze up that time. It ended up being an extra thick ice cream shake essentially. Once it froze up, it took a conciderable amount of time to cool down to be used again. The other times I used it, it handled everything including ice without issue. I'm still learning the best recipes with proper quantities so that I'm not overloading the unit. I love that there's a QR code on the blender for more recipes. It's most definitely portable and easy to clean. It would have been nice if it had a USB-C charging port rather than a proprietary port/cable. For my first portable blender, I'm pretty happy with it. It has 3 different blend options, blend, crush and smoothie and after running about 30 seconds, it pauses then runs again. I believe this prevents it from getting overheated, but it also allows the heavier large chunks to lower and get to the blades for the next run. I've learned my favorite to make so far is the iced frozen coffee drinks. I've made about 10 smoothie or coffee drinks and I've not yet had to charge the unit a 2nd time so that battery life is better than I expected as well. I love with this portable blender, I can have coffee drinks better than I can get from Starbucks with exactly what I want in it. I can control the amount of sugar in each drink making them much healthier and better for me and my husband. I'm very happy to have this blender!

Pretty sweet smoothie making machine
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ninja Blast Max is a really cool mixer, blender, smoothie maker. My version of the Ninja Blast is the Max 22 oz portable version. I am not sure what other versions are out there, but this one is just about the perfect size for making blended drinks on the go. The only issue I seem to have is keeping by teenage daughters from hogging the unit to the point I can't use it. The blender is compact, battery powered and easy to use and clean. All the things that are important. On top of all of that, it does a great job performing what it is supposed to do, mix and blend. The unit comes with a base, charging cable and a 22 oz container that houses the blades. The container has a removable lid with a drink spout that easily twists off of the motor base so that you can take it with you on the go. The 22 oz container fits easily into almost any car cup holder making it the perfect travel companion. It also comes with a handy wrist strap that makes it even easier to carry. It has three of what Ninja calls IQ settings. Blend, crush and smoothie (which is probably the one that gets used the most). The auto IQ is designed to give you the perfect results and so far, I have been impressed. The power button has the battery indicator so you can easily tell when the blender needs a recharged. So far, the battery life has been great for me. If you like blended drinks and smoothies and are a person that is always on the go, this is the perfect combination unit for you and the 22 oz size means your not gonna run out of your favorite drink anytime soon.

A True Blender That Happens To Be Portable Too
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It seemed to me a couple of years ago, portable blenders became a rage. A lot of companies seemed to come out in this market pushing a portable smoothie maker. I even had a couple of different ones, but none really did what I wanted. What I wanted was a blender that could do what a big blender did without taking up all the space of a big blender. With the Ninja BlastMax 22oz Portabloe Blender, I finally have what I am looking for. For starters, this is easy to set up. You pull out the rechargeable base and set it up. The amount of space it takes up is about a quarter of a usual Ninja blender. Then you fill the vessel with whatever you want to blend, and then you are ready. Twist the vessel onto the base and hit go. It really is that easy. You actually have three different settings to blend with. You can select Smoothie, Crush, or Blend. This is way better than the other portable blenders that I have tried. The “crush” setting works well on ice and can make a nice juicy slush. “Smoothie” works great with frozen fruit. And with blend, I even liked to make milkshakes. This has actually now replaced my big Ninja blender. A lot of times, I am not blending huge amount of stuff. This is the perfect size for me. My daughter has even used it to blend up a pancake mix using just eggs and banana. It works great for that. The nice thing is that once the ingredients are blended, you don’t need to get another glass. You can drink it straight from the vessel. There is a pop open top which allows you to drink straight from the container. There is even a small little carrying tab which allows you to take it on the go. The container even fit in my car’s drink holder. It was perfect. Everything about this blender is great. It has a small footprint which makes storing it very easy. Also, it really is excellent to take on the go. It is perfect to take to a hotel and blend up your own smoothies or drinks when you are away on the road. Cleaning is also easy. The container is dishwasher safe and also easily washed by hand. In the end, I really love the Ninja BlastMax Portable Blender. And even though it is marketed as a portable blender, it still can handle 95 percent of what I need a blender for. With its small size, it is perfect for dorms or other small kitchens. I could see this being perfect for a college student as well. They could mix up a drink in the morning and then take it with them to class. I recommend this blender to anyone.

Ninja! What a Blast
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my Ninja Blast Max 22oz Portable Blender, especially the cool grey color. I have been looking for the perfect small portable blender and the Ninja Blast Max came along just in time. The Fill Order line design and features in making the Smoothie for beginners so easy. The cord free Ninja Blast Max makes it very convenient to use and take your drink anywhere. It has line indicator levels from 1 to 5 in blending and preparing your Smoothie. 1. Adding liquid 2. Fresh fruits 3.Leafy greens 4.Dry ingredients 5.Finish with ice or frozen ingredients. The Control Panel offers Programs to avoid any mishaps and to make sure you get the best speed whether you Blend, Crush, Smoothie when using the Ninja Blast Max. The One-touch Auto IQ programs easily in crushing ice and blending Smoothies for the best taste. I purchased a frozen bag of frozen fruit along with almond milk and made made delicious Smoothie. With a 20 percent larger capacity you can create frozen drinks, protein shakes that the former series can't duplicate. My Ninja Blast Max came as solid green for fully charged but also has real time reading when a charge is needed. The clean up is so much better compared to a full size blender and dishwasher safe. Ninja-Blast Max is the best quick and easy way enjoy a Smootjie on the go.

Ninja is a very reliable brand for the kitchen!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ninja is such a staple in my household that I don't have any doubts whenever it comes to their products. This blender is no different. The battery lasts me days at least 4 days in my experience. I do only use it once or twice a day. The size is fantastic. 22oz is just a little bit more from a grande from Starbucks or medium sized drink and it's just below a venti or a large. I find that to be a sweet spot for me because I find 16oz to be too little since I love to drink a lot. I can fit in ice, fruit, milk, whatever all together in this blender and it creates a nice, great smoothie for me. The container works as well as a cup so no need to transfer the drink and make things more messy. I find that it keeps my drink cool for just a little longer but it's not as well insulated as more proper containers. The blender itself is strong enough for my needs which I listed earlier. There are different modes that you can get with this blender and I personally just use smoothie and blend mode for the most part.
