Customer Ratings & Reviews

---- Summary ---- Pros: - Nine pre-set Auto-iQ programs - Three different types of containers for blending - Touchscreen and modern design - Easy to use and clean - FreshVac pump really works Cons: - None ---- Review ---- Design: The Ninja Smart Screen Kitchen System with FreshVac is well built from the inside out. All the components are hefty and sturdy, so I have no worry about anything breaking anytime soon. With a simple touchscreen, it is easy to select the appropriate program for whatever I am making or blending, and the touchscreen also adds to the already visually appealing modern design. Although I usually have it stored in a cabinet when not in use, it looks great on my kitchen countertop. In many ways, the Ninja Smart Screen is a well-designed blender. Features: The nine different pre-set Auto-iQ programs are phenomenal, so I would definitely consider the programs a standout feature. Auto-iQ makes it easy to crush, blend or process just about anything effectively and efficiently, and the FreshVac technology is a perfect complimentary feature. Using FreshVac truly does make a difference. I have tested it out by making a smoothie with and without using FreshVac, and now I will never go back to not using it because the smoothies are exceptionally smooth and full of flavor. If you love smoothies, I am confident that you will love this blender. Other than smoothies, there is much more that this blender can do, and that is facilitated by the different programs and three different containers, which are the FreshVac pitcher, FreshVac cup and the precision processer. This truly is a kitchen system and not just a blender because it comes with everything you could need. Performance: As I mentioned above, the Auto-iQ programs work very well. I have owned several blenders over the past few years and felt that they were of decent quality, but I am impressed with the performance and versatility of this Ninja Smart Screen System, and I am confident that it is one of the best blenders on the market. Verdict: If you are reading this review, my guess is that you are in the market for a blender or thinking about getting one as a gift. There are many blenders on the market, but I think this one should be atop the list of the best, and I would highly recommend it over the alternatives.

I got the Ninja FreshVac Kitchen System to replace an older Ninja “Kitchen System” and for the most part I feel the newer model performs better. After unboxing I immediately noticed the smaller footprint of the 1400-Watt motor base. The drive system is smaller but the same design as the older unit, which has performed well over the years despite being made of plastic. Ninja also reduced costs by eliminated the suction release mechanism from the base in favor of smaller traditional suction feet. All of these cost saving measures make me question long term durability, though time will tell. The new base is all black with a nice selective touchscreen based on the vessel attached to the base. It works well and makes the blender simpler to use, which is nice. Beyond the variety of vessels including with blender (72oz pitcher, 40oz Processor, 20oz cup) Ninja is offering a unique vacuum feature under the guise of not just better texture but also locking in nutrients. The FreshVac system does create a smoother texture, without all of the unwanted foam. I found my usual spinach smoothie with almond milk to be easier to drink but slightly thin. After 2 weeks of daily use the batteries in the FreshVac pump had already died. “Fortunately” Ninja sells a cord that probably should have come with it in the first place. Beyond the FreshVac pitcher and blender cup, the Kitchen System includes a Precision Processor with a reversible slicing/shredding disc, chopping blades, and dough blade. At 40oz, I don’t expect it to hold much dough but I haven’t tried. I have used the slicing disc and chopping blades, both performed reasonably well. I wish it came with an additional disc blade that had a larger opening for thicker slicing but it gets the job done. After a month of daily use, the FreshVac cup blade assembly feels a little stiff and makes a squeaking noise when coming to a stop after blending. Despite this, I am still happy with the new Ninja as it still performs better than my previous Kitchen System. Overall, the Ninja FreshVac System is perfect for those looking for a multipurpose blender with a nice assortment of attachments but also looking to make fresh smoothies and extracts.

I have had a normal regular blender for a long time as well as a juicer/ food processor and was interested in seeing an instruments that combines the best part of each into one system and I must say I am very pleased. The system is well made and the multiple parts included seem to be very durable. The blades are super sharp and the components are numerous but easy to store and utilize. There are many many settings accessed through the responsive touch screen and some are pretty clear but for those that are not , the manual carefully explains each setting which is much appreciated. When it comes to blending it is superb. Inside the box we have two different sized containers (a cup and a pitcher) with effective seal to keep out as much air as possible with the Airvac system which seems to work quite effectively as it removes most of the frothiness from your mixtures. When it comes to food processing, once some things are pre cut, the Ninja shreds, chops and slices everything well and will be just as handy as any other food processor. The only possible cons I have is that although all parts are capable of being washed in a dishwasher, you might find that to carefully wash some parts you will need to wash them by hand. Also there are some very smalls parts utilized in sealing the cup or pitcher that can be easily lost if you’re not careful and there are no replacement parts included.

My family loves smoothies. However, my current blender wasn’t up for the job to make a proper smoothie. I had the opportunity once to watch a demonstration of the leading brand-name blender and I was impressed by what a smartly designed blender could do. However, I did not have the $500 that the store wanted for that brand. The Ninja Smart Screen Kitchen System with Fresh Vac first caught my eye because the pitcher has a very similar design to that pricier blender but was much more budget-friendly. I was also intrigued by the touch screen element. I’m a pushover for touch screens and sleek designs. One thing I’d like to point out here. PLEASE take care when unpacking your blender! I didn’t and ended up cutting myself on the food processor blade. It wasn’t bad, but unexpected. The unit came with recipes to get started but I didn’t have the ingredients at home. It’s frustrating when new appliances come with recipes that don’t have (at least what I consider to be) common ingredients. Once I picked up what I thought I needed, I realized that I had forgot an ingredient, so I decided to make up my own. I used four cups of frozen strawberries, some agave syrup, and a container of Oui brand vanilla yogurt. I used the Fresh Vac attachment per the instructions. I found it very easy to use; it vacuumed all the air our of the pitcher and then automatically turned off when complete. The smoothie came out quite thick, but delicious. I look forward to trying more recipes. The Ninja Smart Screen Kitchen System with FreshVac is a great blender.

Purchased the Ninja smart screen kitchen system with excitement to use its blender function for everyday smoothie purpose. However returned it 25 days as it turned out way below my expectations. The leafy greens remain in bits n pieces and sometimes even whole despite the 3 strong blades . The overall smoothie turned very clumpy in texture and did not taste great.

So the holidays have come quick and I’ve had some time with my system. Overalll it has good range and it does well with heavy duty work. So far I’ve whipped up some Iced Hot Chocolate Bourbon drinks, made some amazing Gnnochi Soup, and chopped all my veggies with the food processor. I’ve had a Ninja before so it met my expectations and more. I’m still learning to use the vacuum technology so I can master smoothies after the gym but the colors are neat. My favorite part is that storing my system is symple and easy to clean unlike conventional blenders. Oh and a side note, since it detects which vessel you’re using it makes the usability super easy that my family easily jumped in to help without adding confusion and slowing down cooking!

I am a Ninja Fan i really like there products for blenders. I have a smoothie blender at home and to upgrade for a Full Blender and food processor is great. I really like the style of this new model not having the push buttons on it but only show up when plugged in is really clean looking. I like it when it knows what you are using as a smoothie or food processor to the blender.The extra nice addition to this new Ninja is the food save option to seal whatever you have blended or getting ready to blend is nice to have. All the attachments that come with the food processor is nice. My wife have enjoyed using them to make salads or guacamole and to keep that fresh is awesome. Nobody likes brown guacamole.. The fresh vac pump is easy to use just place it on the top and press the button and it will suck the air out and let you know when it's done. The extra blades for the food processor are clean and all you will need. It does come with only 1 smoothie cup witch is kinda bad but you can't have it all. Overall this has to be one of the best looking and performing blenders i have. Give it up to Ninja great product.

Pros: -mixes well when using the larger pitcher -pretty powerful and a cheaper alternative to some of the top blenders out there -Multiple settings for different types of blending -the touchscreen is nice -it sticks to the counter with suction cups so I don’t have to worry about it moving -easy to clean -multiple attachments -comes with a “to go” bottle for my morning smoothies so I can make a smoothie and take it with me without transferring it into a different cup. This was the main reason I purchased this product. I didn’t go for other brand units that only had the personal serving cup with no pitcher because sometimes I make smoothies for two people and wanted the option to make multiple servings or just the one. Also, this blender is stronger than the “bullet” brands out there. -the brands we site makes it easy to purchase additional accessories including more of the one serving cups. Cons: -loud (I can’t run it at night because we live in an apartment and it can be heard from outside). This is the only blender that I truly have that issue with. Others, even from the same brand name, can be run at pretty much anytime of the day. -fresh vac is a waste of money in my opinion. I don’t really notice much of a difference if any. -the large pitcher lid doesn’t look tightly sealed to me when it locks into place. Wear and tear later down the line may see some leakage while blending -the locking mechanism when placing the blender on the base is a little more challenging than the other blenders I have. Overall, I think what sold me on this was the fact that I could pack a cup full of stuff for an individual smoothie, blend it, and head off to work for a somewhat affordable price. For about $300 more than what I spent on this machine, I could have purchased a vita mix along with the personal cup adapter. The savings is why I went with this model instead.

I bought this blender about 2 months ago and have used most of it's functions. The two blender cups are fantastic for smoothies and frozen drinks, I generally like to use it to make healthy smoothies from frozen and fresh fruits and have been very impressed with the product. For the food processor, I have mainly used it for chopping and slicing and again find it super easy and quick to use. Overall, it is very easy to use and has preset options that do the work for you. For the blender tools, I tend to load my ingredients and press the a button and then walk away while it it alternates pulsing and blending on it's own; it allows me to get more things done while the blender does all the work. My only complaint/recommendation is for the FreshVac Pump. I do use it and I does make a difference (especially in drinks that tend to end up fairly frothy). However, be aware that you should purchase a new set of batteries, the ones that come with it don't last long. I was worried I was using the pump wrong but really the batteries only lasted a couple of uses. I ended up buying rechargable batteries and a battery recharger for this purpose and have since not had a problem with it.

I've had this blender a few weeks now and it works great. It is powerful and makes smoothies effortlessly I like that it has three blades for blending. I have only used the fresh vac function once and it worked as advertised. The food processor is a bit small. I wish they had made it larger, however I am used to using an 8 cup food processor. The food processor did work great however. It is great for chopping veggies etc. It is a good food processor. My only complaint is the size. Overall I think it is a good purchase and worth it.

I love this blender feels very fancy and works very good compared to my old $30 blender. It is very loud though which is fine but just be aware. It is touchscreen and has a lot of options and does not feel cheap. Only downside is I had to order extra cups and lids they are both a separate price from Ninja and they were not cheap because it only comes with one.

Great everyday chromebook to use. Basically replaces my expensive MacBook and works practically quick. It starts up easily and transfers old files to your new chromebook. Highly recommended. Looks and built sturdily.

I debated buying this blender back and forth and compared it to other brands and other blenders made by ninja. I was intrigued by the FreshVac, it actually works!!!!!! I honestly thought it was a gimmick but it works. I wish that I was less intrigued, because I only used it once for a fruit smoothie- something that I don’t have often. If you know you won’t use the FreshVac, Ninja offers another model that is almost the same minus the FreshVac and you can save up to $100 depending on if you buy it on sale or not. The base is crazy powerful, I’ve found that when using the food processor I have to pulse instead of letting it do it automatically or it will just be mush.

This is our first high powered blender. At 1000 watts this baby will make a milkshake like the pros: well aerated. It will also pump out the air for less bulk and finer texture. Cleaning is a breeze if you put a small amount of dish detergent in the blender with water and watch it suds itself clean. As a bonus the blender is much more quiet then our old Osterizer. The blender lives on a table so we move it to the counter routinely. While the weight is good and light the only, only issue is the little suction cups always make for hesitation when we move it. Other than that it's just plain fun.

Smooth smoothies. Handles all we throw into it. Love the capacity of the blender. Easy to clean. Some reviews mentioned it being loud - which it is. My wife’s Whisper Mill doesn’t exactly whisper either, but has serviced us well for 25 years. If our Ninja lasts half that long, we’ll be happy we went big and strong even if a bit noisy. If you time it right, using the noise to your advantage, you can get the last word in during an argument or at least “not hear” the request for the next item on the honey-do list.

So far I am amazed at how this has replaced my blender and food processor! The Ninja has all the power I need to make smoothie perfectly. I have used the food processor to chop onion, garlic and cashews for a sauce... and wow I was surprised how it knew to stop whenever thing is chopped and blended to perfection. Definitely a great gift from my husband for Christmas!!! Just what I wanted!!!!

My wife and I decided to go with this system as it pretty much had everything we need. After a few uses we are really happy with the purchase. Easy to use and clean, can be a bit loud but I can live with that. I like the fact that we can extract the air before blending for a smooth consistency. The slicer disc is awesome cutting my time to a minimum.

I absolutely love this small appliance. It has all the features you would need in a kitchen besides a toaster and coffee machine. I upgraded from the standard Ninja. I definitely would recommend this to anyone who needs a food processor and smoothie maker. It was very easy to assemble and use. This was given to me as a gift. I think it is worth every penny.

I purchased on a Black Friday deal because I have always wanted a "good" blender and a food processor. First off, I was skeptical about the vacuum sealer, but it actually makes a difference. I first used it to make two batches of salsa to compare and there is a noticeable difference between using it and not using. This blender really purees food into a smooth even consistency, which is important for me making salsas and sauces. I am very happy with the results so far. I have not used the food processor yet, but am looking forward to making a cabbage slaw with it for pulled pork tacos. I have made several smoothies with the single serve cup. However, I actually wanted the cup to grind up dehydrated peppers I grew into a fine powder. This works perfectly for that and the powder is so fine! Next, I really like the smart screen. It identifies the blender, processor, and cup on it and presents menus associated with them. This certainly makes it easy and quick. Also the touch screen is easy to clean! This is great if making a protein shake after a workout or just when cooking. I am very happy with the purchase and versatility of having an "All-in-one" type blender.

I absolutely love this 3 in one appliance. I drink a smoothie every morning for breakfast thanks to my new toy and it’s so easy to use and clean! The food processor is amazing for streamlining long chopping jobs and this mixer looks great on my counter top. 100%recommend.
