By far the best blender, it exceeded my expectations.

I absolutely LOVEEE this blender!!! It works perfect!!

Best blender ever! I would definitely buy it again

Very strong blender blades are sharp mixes smoothly

It is a nicer, updated version of the blender I had. Works very well and the air reliever is very interesting.

I love this blender. Great for smoothies and ice cream. I do recommend reading all materials that come in the box.

I have the old one,this one is better. I really liked the price.I'm enjoying creating new smoothies and recipes.

I love it!! It is exactly what I was looking for do do my smoothies. I totally recommend this product

I love Ninja products and this is one of my favorite ones. Super easy to clean

This blender works great. I do wish that the vacuum pump came with the charger instead of batteries.

Purchased this for me girlfriend because she’s been having smoothie cravings. She love it

Efficient and convenient. From salsa to smoothies, my wife and I love using.

Works better than I expected. Easy to use controls and powerful motor.

Got this as a gift for someone and they love it. Works good overall.

But the fresh vac already messed up good thing for the warranty

good product with good price, meets all our needs

I've only had the chance to use this blender a couple of times so far, but I have been thoroughly impressed. We made smoothies one night in the two single serve jars and this thing powered through the ice and frozen fruit like it was warm butter! We used the "vac" on one and not on the other just to see the difference. The taste was the same, but the one without using the vac was a lot more frothy while the one with the vac was smooth and professional looking. The available presets change depending on whether you put the single serve cups or main jar on which is a neat feature. There aren't a ton of options which actually is a plus for me as our family tends to use blenders for the same two or three things. Any extra functions would simply be wasted on us. Be aware, this unit is very heavy (as are all of my Ninja products) and fairly loud. You won't be toting it around with you nor can you blend anything while hoping to have a conversation or that your child will stay asleep.

I have an older Ninja Ultima BL810, and while that has an slightly more powerful motor (1500w vs 1400w) it is little more than an on/off pulverizer when compared to this DUO w/Freshvac. Depending on which of the three included canisters/jars you attach to the base, the DUO will illuminate the options on the touchscreen panel. If a selection is grayed out it means you simply can't choose that for the canister you've installed. Swap it out for another and the base registers this change and presents you will whatever choices are available. Simple, easy, no guess work. Pros; - Options -- you can get any blender to blend with. This thing offers you options and makes it easy to go about achieving them, which is usually what keeps people from exploring new things; the guess work and lack of ease. (this is a semi double-edged sword, see "blades" in cons) - Strong motor -- while not as strong as other Ninja offerings (or other brands for that matter) it's plenty strong enough for 99.9% of what a household would plan on using this for - Interface -- the seamless touchscreen is not only sleek (when off it's completely blacked out for a nice stealthy appearance) but allows for zero-moisture to make it's way into any electronics. - Overall "Quality" -- the DUO feels nicely built. There's a solid feel to just about every component regardless of material you are touching. Everything has a nice notch, click, or slide to it. Cons; - Vacuum release on the jars -- you eventually (hopefully) remember to do this, but at first I forgot a handful of times. After a few times, though, it became muscle memory, so not *really* a big deal. - There's a few different blades which I've yet to really notice any difference given how much your contents are getting tossed around regardless of which canister/jar you're using. I get that depending on any number of variables that you may want something diced to a certain to degree more/less than in another application, hence offering multiple blades. But, I still don't know if it's necessary. To cap off the "cons" portion I'll add that prior to writing this review I noticed mine aligned with a few other reviews. Pretty much confirmed to me that, while being really insignificant to the overall performance of the blending, they were still worth mentioning again to point out to potential buyers that they aren't just one-off problems/issues. The only other thing I could even remotely add to it is "cleaning" -- but, until someone invents a blender that cleans itself (when they do, call me) that is something inherent to every. single. blender. on the market...unfortunately. All in all; an easy recommendation.

When you need powerful pull this out. It is not easy but it does a great job.

I've been making smoothies in my Shark bullet for several years and wanted to move up to a bigger model. I was skeptical about the vacuum system which takes oxygen out of the blender/vessel so I tried creating a smoothie with and without the vacuum technology. I combined spinach and other veggies along with an apple and strawberries. I split the ingredients into two different batches and made one version with and one without the vacuum technology. I was impressed with the difference between the two versions. The version using the vac was much richer in color than the other non-vac version. I taste-tested it along with my wife and we both thought the vac-version was better. The other great aspect of the vac system is the smoothie maintains a better consistency when refrigerating it overnight. I only had to shake up the container the next day rather than blend it again. This was one of my biggest frustrations with my old Ninja. You basically had to make and consume what you created as it was never the same after it was in the fridge overnight. I also like the touchscreen technology. It's intuitive and cleanup is easy if there are any spills on the base unit. Like most blenders, this unit is loud, but clearly has a lot of power. I also don't know why blenders have to have such short power cords. This unit is packed with power, additional components for smaller batch concoctions and the vacuum technology is a differentiator over other brands. The value built into this Ninja is impressive.
