Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love Ninja products! I bought this on black Friday and still use my previous version. This is for my office in case I want to make smoothies.

Great new rendition of the Ninja Blender! I’m pleased with this blender so far; my wife and I have been making all sorts of things from healthy smoothies and chocolatey coffee milk shakes to salsa and hummus. I like the IQ modes, once you select one of the buttons, the blender seems to know exactly how to make the perfect concoction every time. I am happy on how fast the blender is. It takes about a minute and with the IQ modes, the blender pauses every few seconds before going again, I believe the pauses are so the liquid can fall toward the blades again before restarting, ensuring everything gets blended. No more shaking the blender to ensure everything gets blended, those days are finally over, this thing is a beast! I really like that it comes with two 24-ounce cups with flip top spout lids, making it easy to take your fresh smoothy with you on the go. For the crushed ice, it comes out more like snow which would be perfect for snow cones on hot summer days. As for the looks of the blender, you can’t beat the sleek modern look that Ninja provides. The blender looks so good and is small enough to fit on any counter space. The Nutri-Blender Pro also comes with nice suction cups on the bottom to secure the blender and prevent it from walking when operating, I found this to be a great feature. I haven’t found any cons with this blender, it just works great, every time. In all, I am happy I picked this blender up. I have added it to my morning routine making healthy green smoothies before I hit the road and my kids are really enjoying all the fun milkshakes for dessert. If you are looking for a sleek, smart, and quick blender that can make two 24-ounce drinks, this is the one. Hands down, this has been a fun and exciting experience! The recipe book it comes with is great too!

Mornings are hectic to begin with, getting the kids up and ready to go, getting breakfast ready, coffee and lastly your own breakfast. As for me, I usually make my self a little breakfast smoothie and sometimes during all the commotion I don’t always get the consistency and chunky and then find something to take it in. Well, that whole process has been made a bit easier. This morning I prepared my smoothie in the Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro, and let me tell you it was easier. I put all the ingredients into the cup then placed the blade assembly on, pressed the smoothie button and walked away getting everything else ready. 50 seconds later the smoothie was ready with the perfect consistency and all the ingredients were chopped up nicely. I placed the spout lid on the cup and was on my way out the door. The Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro with Auto IQ provides 1100 Watts of Peak Power to power through the toughest of ingredients. I usually use frozen fruits in my smoothies and I had no issues at all using this. The Auto-IQ pre-programmed buttons allow you to get the perfect consistency every time. And when its all said and done just place the cup and blade assembly into your dish washer to use the next day. To test out how well the unit performs and to check its Ice Crushing functionality, I filled up the cup with ice cubes and ran the unit on CRUSH function for probably 10 seconds, I didn’t even need to run the whole cycle and the result was homemade snow cones. All the cubes were crushed basically into tiny little chucks perfect for snow cones. -In the Box: 2 24 OZ. Cups and 2 Spout Lids 1 Blade Assembly 1 Motor Unit Recipe Book Overall, I have been using this now for the past few days for getting my breakfast smoothies ready before work and honestly, I can’t complain. The one touch system and the to go cups really do makes hectic mornings a tad bit easier.

I have nothing bad to say about this machine. It has no problem blending frozen fruit, it has an automatic blend setting for smoothies, it conveniently turns the blender cup into a drinking cup with the change of a lid, and everything is dishwasher safe! Best of all, I’m saving money making my own smoothies rather than dropping $5-7/cup per person at the local smoothie joint. It has been about a week now and the fam and I have been going to town making smoothies from bags of frozen fruit at the local wholesale warehouse. The blender comes with two 24oz cups, which is plenty for a family of 4; I make a first cup to split with two kids in their own cups, then make two more for the wife and I using the original 24oz cups with the included lid. In my opinion, it has been leaps and bounds easier to make smoothies with this thing rather than bring out the traditional big blender. It takes no more than 5 minutes to do all this. And when it’s all said and done, I just toss the cups, lids and blade in the dishwasher. Ninja did design this blender to be a single-serve blender, but as I stated above, this can work well for small families, and quite possibly larger ones, but you’ll be running the blender quite often the more people participate. But that just means that each person gets their own customized drink since you don’t have to throw all the ingredients like you would in a large cup blender. Obviously if you’re purchasing this for yourself or for a party of 2, this is where Ninja hits the sweet spot. But overall, I just found using this thing so much easier, and that’s why I hold it so high with respect to the Vitamixes and Blendtecs when it comes to smoothie creation. I haven’t tried yet, but I can imagine myself making a quick breakfast smoothie before hitting the road to work or even making a post protein workout shake blended with ice. If you’re out of ideas, Ninja includes a recipe book for different types of smoothies as well as cocktails. Some notables about the blender is that it has a fool-proof twist lock mechanism that ensures the blades are secured to the base before allowing you to switch the unit on. Another nicety is the blender motor base has suction cups as feet to keep the unit firmly planted while blending. Highly recommended.

I've wanted to get a "freezie maker" for a long time, because I loooove slushy drinks and because I have a chronic condition which makes staying hydrated difficult. I've had bad results in the past (about a thousand years ago or so) trying to make frozen beverages with different kinds of blenders that were nowhere near powerful enough to handle ice properly. I recently moved and treated myself to a Vitamix, which is a magnificent machine, but it's huge and cumbersome and again, a chronic illness means that you dont always have the spoons to haul out that behemoth when all you want is to make yourself a smoothie because youre just not feeling well enough to make a meal. It really does matter. After doing a TON of research I decided on the Ninja BN401, because my other Ninja/Shark appliances are excellent quality and this unit had a lot of superior reviews, both user and in the media. This thing was worth every dime. It's small, compact, light, easy to set up, has a small footprint so you can leave it out, and it works so well that it's almost magic to me after so many years of trial and error. One-button frappes, slushies, and smoothies, plus manual controls if/when you want them. Clean-up is incredibly fast and easy. Lids included so you can drink right from the container you blend in. This thing is a spoonie's dream. If there was any improvement I would make, it would be to make the base a little heavier, because the motor / blending action is so powerful that the base skips a little bit now and then, so stay within arm's reach of it when it's operating, and put it well away from the edge of your work surface. You dont want it dancing over the edge. It just loves its job so much it can't sit still, lol, A suggestion I would make for the package is to include at least one of the various cups available: a blender bowl, a 24-ounce cup, and a 32-ounce cup, with lids. It'd be nice if two of each of these were included along with the blender itself. I'd be willing to pay the extra money for that option, because finding and buying those extras is often a real pain, to be honest, and Ninja/Shark, while making excellent products, is unfortunately not great in the customer service department, so it's hard to get any information out of them for replacements or additional items (or anything else for that matter). Anyway, if you're a fan of frappes, smoothies, slushies, this little devil will be your best friend. If you're a spoonie, you will hug this beast every day. And finally, for all those the Sbx frappe fans out there, here's the lowdown: Buy a case of your favourite Sbx beverage for less than $15, and this machine pays for itself in six frappes from the store. Pour the bottle into the container, add ice up to the max mark, and hit crush. In 60 seconds you have a Sbx frappe for $2 instead of $6-9. No driving, no tipping, no putting pants on. Works a treat. And you can customize it to your heart's content.

I bought this blender not expecting much. I just wanted to use it to make some protein shakes, but this thing crushes ice better than my trusty commercial grade blender. The smart IQ program takes out all of the need to shake the blender cup. Overall I’m very satisfied with the power, the noise level, and the performance.

Title: Powerful Performance with a Decibel Dilemma I recently purchased the Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro Personal Blender with Auto-iQ, and overall, I am impressed with its performance in the realm of blending and food processing. However, one significant drawback has left me with mixed feelings: the deafening noise it produces. Let's start with the positives. The Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro lives up to its promise of powerful blending capabilities. With Auto-iQ technology, it efficiently tackles a variety of tasks, from making smoothies to crushing ice and processing nuts. The motor is robust, and the blades are sharp, ensuring a consistently smooth and well-blended result every time. The convenience of the personal blender design and the included travel lids make it a handy companion for those on the go. However, the downside to this impressive performance is the incredible noise it generates. The Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro is, without a doubt, one of the loudest blenders I've ever encountered. The noise level is so high that it can be disruptive, especially in quiet environments. If you're an early morning smoothie enthusiast or prefer a discreet kitchen appliance, this blender may not be the best choice. Despite the noise issue, if you can tolerate or overlook the sound factor, the Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro Personal Blender with Auto-iQ delivers on its promise of efficient blending and convenience. It's a trade-off between power and peace, so consider your noise tolerance level before making this purchase.

This blender is one powerful machine. It is obviously smaller than a traditional blender but larger than the older magic bullet type blenders that also do a single serve. I was surprised by the size of the base. The good thing is, it does do a fantastic job and it's quick. When you select the smoothie button, it runs for 60 seconds and does a count down for you. On this particular smoothie, I had to do a 2nd minute because a chunk stayed more at the top and did not get crushed. No big deal. The smoothie came smooth and perfectly blended. There is a max fill line, pay attention to that. I didn't have any issues with the bottom leaking during mixing. The cups are nice and big so you can have fun with your ingredients. This smoothie had strawberries, ice, blueberries, vanilla almond milk, banana protein powder, turbinado, peanut butter, vanilla frozen yogurt, and a small squirt of strawberry syrup. The booklet comes with recipes and instructions for best mixing results. It is a nice addition to my healthy lifestyle toolbox. The only con I can say is the base is bigger than expected, but it does have lots of power so the size is justified.

having had Ninja's for the last 12 years and them still being used, i was interested in the auto-IQ programs for making smoothies, etc If you're new to blending drinks, refer to some of the recipes and instructions. the order is KEY. I wasn't paying attention and put ice in first then my fruit, etc not thinking about that when you put the lid on and blend, the ice is now at the top. makes it more difficult to get the job done. Ice is usually the last or near last items to put in. but it does do an excellent job. it's nice having the program so i can hit the button and walk around the kitchen prepping other things, like my food or just general tidying, while it executes the program cleanup is easy, while the blades don't remove from the base, there's ample room to get a sponge/brush/whatever around the blade to make sure its cleaned off If you're always blending for one on the go, this makes sense, but if you'll occasionally want to make more or have more people around it may be worth going up a level to the ninja that has the large pitcher, plus two of these personal size containers. it's not much more space to take up and you have more versatility that way. if that's not an issue, or you're really tight on storage, this would be the choice then.

This blender is a game-changer for my daily shakes and juices. It blends everything to perfection in seconds, saving me time and effort. The powerful motor and well-designed blades handle fruits, veggies, and even nuts with ease. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and delivers smooth, consistent blends every time — no hassle at all. If you’re looking for a reliable, fast, and efficient blender, this one is a must-have. Highly recommended for anyone who values convenience and quality in the kitchen.

Purchased this since its more compact and looks nicer than those complicated mixers that are hard to wash. Boyyy this thing is powerful, It crushes through ice, fruits, vegetables....I use it for everything and so easy to clean. Its pretty loud not going to lie but I've never needed to use it more than 30 seconds since it gets the job done quick.

Right out of the box, the Ninja Pro has been a pleasant experience. You can immediately feel the weight and solid construction behind it. This is way above previous smoothie makers I've owned & discarded. That's not to say that it's just for smoothies, as you can see from the attached photo the thickness and sharpness of the blades allow it to easily slice through the toughest of fruits & vegetables you can throw at it as well as pulverizing ice. You might infer from the other photo that I have a fondness for making malts. If you've never used malt before, it never really dissolves in liquid, acting more like the bean specks in vanilla bean ice cream. With my previous mixers, you could always see a slight accumulation of the malt on the walls of the container. I always needed to be careful not to dump the malt in first, or else once it got wet, I'd get a clump of it below the blades, making it difficult to clean. No such problem with the Ninja, it dispersed the malt particles nicely throughout the drink. This probably has something to do with how it operates. While it has an on/off button, there is also a program mode for smoothie (and one for ice.) Using the smoothie program, the timer sets for a minute, then it goes through a series of long & short pulses that allow still solid material to settle so the blades get a better shot at cutting. With other blenders solids might remain in suspension above the blade, or you'd have to keep pulsing manually. The unit comes with two separate containers with lids (dishwasher safe along with the blade section) making it handy for those mornings when yesterday's dishes are still in the sink. This is my fourth Ninja product (Foodi, Air Fry Oven, upright vacuum) and all have performed admirably. I still can't believe how quickly the Air Fry toaster oven heats up - another great morning helper! The Ninja is a solid choice for the price in this market - highly recommend.

My husband got this to make smoothies. He uses it more then 3 times a week. It work great. Only draw back is its so loud. Using it while people are sleeping is very difficult!

"The Ninja Nutri Blender Pro with Auto-iQ is a game-changer! Its powerful motor effortlessly blends anything, from smoothies to tough ingredients. The Auto-iQ feature makes blending a breeze. Easy to clean and durable, it's a versatile powerhouse for all blending needs. Highly recommended for its efficiency and convenience!"

Excellent smoothie maker..well made easy to use and cant go wrong with ninja product..very happy with purchase and use everyday.

This product was recommended by a friend. I am so glad I listened. It makes the best smoothies and a nice feature is you can hit the button and walk away and not have to stand there and push buttons repeatedly until it's finished. The stainless steel casing is a nice touch and goes nicely with any decor. It is a bit loud as it blends but that is to be expected. It's easy to wash the removable lids and they're dishwasher safe too. I'd recommend this to anyone.

This is the best blender for smoothies. It is so easy to pull out, use, and clean. We drink our protein smoothies more often because of the ease and convenience. I have also pureed soups. Overall, we are very satisfied.

I use this blender to make thick, tasty, cold protein shakes with ice and milk and it works great. It has enough power to power through ice. It is also very convenient having the blending container also being the glass to drink from.

Surprised how well this worked. A lttle noisy but to be expected. I have been enjoying my shakes.

I got this to replace a similar mixer I've had for over 5 years. I have a bad habit of over blending my smoothies and the Auto-IQ feature on this is exactly what I needed. I can just turn it on and walk away with no worry. The consistency is right on every time. It's really been a welcome addition to my kitchen as it has made my quick breakfasts so much healthier. The quality is exactly what I have come to expect from Ninja products. Everything is well built and durable. Really appreciate the suction cups on the base too.
