It took me a while to pick the “right” blender, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. It’s great for personal use.

I’ve used it to make smoothies, pure, and soups (only after it is has cooled).

The self blending option let’s you walk away from it if you think it’s too loud. It doesn’t bother me at all.

We found at our cost that with blenders, you get what you pay for. More than happy to recommend.

We use the blender a lot and have gone through 2 blenders a year but this blender is easy to use, blends quickly and smoothly, love i

I use for making smoothies and it does a great job.

Been using for a month now – making smoothies and smoothie bowls almost every day, even made some good crushed ice drinks when the weather was hot. Very happy with the product overall, the unit is a little noisy but it is also very powerful and copes with any frozen fruit etc easily. The recipe book is good enough to give you some starting points and get you going. We’ve used the unit to make savoury spreads and quick pate too, it’s very versatile. The only negative point is the size of the cup which comes with the unit, it’s just about big enough for two people but we ended buying a lager one separately, which was another 20.
Another tip I would give is if you are crushing icy drinks on a hot day, don’t tighten the seal really tight by hand before blending as it will contract even more with the cold and you won’t be able to unscrew! We found that out the hard way!
Really happy with this and it will be very well used.

I own a few high end kitchen appliances inc a larger capacity, very high powered blender (2600w) which I use for larger volume smoothies, nut butters, smoothie bowls etc but I find it too large to make just a single portion & always end up with loads leftover.

I wanted something smaller that I could use to make just a single portion & after much deliberation between this and another well known brand I opted for the Ninja. I’m so impressed – the auto functions are great & ive just made the best green smoothie I’ve ever drunk. It’s packed full of spinach & smooth as silk. The instructions/guide are really easy to follow & I love that I can push a button and get on with something else without having to keep an eye on the time or switch it off. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking for a really good quality blender that looks good in the kitchen.

Also, other reviews have commented on how noisy it is but it’s no worse than the other blender I have and not something I would have even noticed had I not read the other comments.

OMG I love this, used for shakes and it makes them sooo smooth.

So happy with this machine 😉 easy to use and looks elega

I have been using it several times now since purchase. Usually I don’t post reviews, but it’s great item, worth buying. Very happy with it.
Easy to clean, blends very well, crashes ice without problem. I love the auto IQ programs. A bit loud but what a performer!

Best blender for all round use. Much better than the nurti bullet.

Really good product, far superior to other brands on the market that I had had before and have broken.

I have been using this every day, sometimes several times a day to make anything from protein shakes, to smoothie bowls or ice creams. Easy to use, easy to clean. Another amazing Ninja product!

Great blender, had numerous other top brand blenders before but this is on another level.
Easy to use (yes it’s a bit noisy, but that’s the price you pay for getting the job done properly!), great to have different settings & containers as this gives more control over the texture/density.
We use it mostly for smoothies and making our own baby pure, will defo try making some of our own dips & no doubt some frozen margaritas in the summe

Wasn’t sure what to expect when I received this to try. I’d heard mixed reviews about Ninja products, many folks raved about them, but others really didn’t like them. But when I thought about it many of the negatives were for the “Air Fryers”.
It comes all packaged up in a nice colourful box with a lot of the information you’ll need on the outside. Inside you’ll find the following.
*Base Unit; This is fairly compact 17 cm x 17 cm (just over 6″ x 6″) and really solid. Most of the body is metal & houses the 1100 Watts motor and weighs in at 3.64 kilograms (14lbs). On the bottom of the unit are four suckers to stop the unit wandering off of the worktop during use. Comes with a UK plug and the easy to operate controls are on the front.

*Hybrid Edge Blades Assembly; I’ve found a lot of blender blades aren’t really that sharp, they rely on brute force to blend your food. Not only are these genuinely sharp (I managed to cut my finger when carelessly putting it on the draining rack) but there’s a lot of them, four pairs (eight blades) whizzing ’round when in use. So not only do they chop more, faster, but their design actively pulls food towards them like a propeller. This means that you don’t tend to get the cavitation voids even with very viscous liquids/pastes.

*Power Nutri Cup with Spout Lid; This is the cup for slightly thinner foods like smoothies. 700 ml (1.23 pints) in size with measuring graduations moulded into the plastic (so the wont wear off) & a MAX Fill Line to avoid spillage. Threaded at the top to allow attachment of the Blades Assembly, Spout Lid or the Storage Lid.

*Power Nutri Bowl with Storage Lid; 400ml (0.7 pint) in volume with “Power Paddles” This one is meant for thicker liquids & pastes like hummus, pat & nut butters. I was sceptical about the “Power Paddles” being able to do the job. You fill the bowl, put on the blades, insert into the base & turn on and continuously turn the paddles by hand to stop food sticking to the sides and force it down into the blades. Though I didn’t think it would work, work they did and I’ve made really thick things like pistachio butter, frozen yogurt & peppered mackerel pat so far with no problems. I did think that washing them up would be a pain but usually a hand wash in warm soapy water is all they need. Did find that with nut butters is was a good idea to fill with water to the top of the paddles with water & a drop or two of dish soap, assemble the unit and whizz it on mix while turning the blades. The dish soap breaks down the nut oils and the power of the machine loosens anything stuck where it shouldn’t be. (Seemingly the cup, bowl, lids & blades can be popped on the top level of the dishwasher – but I don’t have one so can’t attest to that.)

*As well as the hardware you get a Quick Start Guide & a little book of Recipe Ideas; These explain the use & care of the machine and some good ideas on what to make with it and which Cup or Bowl to use to make what. There are recipes for everything from fruit/veg Smoothies or Power Bowls, to pancake batter, guacamole, nut butters, fruit or herb sauces, pesto or curry sauces. This will get you started in understanding what it can do/make and you can tweek & use your imagination from there.

Its not just a case of press & hold ’till you think its done with this machine; though you can if you wish. There is a display to let you know time left. You have a “Start/Stop” button & a quick “Pulse” button. Below these are the “Auto IQ” program buttons which will stop & start the motor to get the best results and thoroughly blend everything.
*Blend; for fruit smoothies & milkshakes.
*Crush; for ice based drinks & green smoothies.
*Mix; for Smoothie Bowls & frozen yogurt.
*Powermix; for houmous & pat.

In living with the machine for a month so far I’ve really enjoyed it. It looks nice in the kitchen and doesn’t take up much space, so it lives by the kettle rather than be stored away like my big blender. I’ve found it quite easy to use and clean so I’ve been using it daily. My one negative about it is that its very loud. It made me jump the first time I started it. My next door neighbours have a new baby & although they say they’ve never heard it I’ve changed my breakfast time. I’m usually up and about by 5 am and don’t want to run it at that time in case I wake their baby. So I eat a little later now. (Though I could blend stuff up the evening before if I wanted too). My usual routine now is to make mix some oats with milk and store it in a jar/Nutri Cup in the fridge overnight then add any fruit I want in the morning and blend it then. This is also a benefit as the power/friction in the machine can warm up the contents slightly on a heavy mix, so everything being pre-chilled means that it stays nice & cold.

It’s not the cheapest blender on the market. At 99 some may find it pricey, but if you’re going to use it daily you want something that’s easy to use, can do a large variety of things and will last a long long time. Going by the quality of the components, the power of the motor and how its been thought out I think this will be on my counter-top for many years to come, and while doing so encourage me to eat a healthier breakfast as well as give me quick access to a blender for sauces/pastes for my cooking rather than haul out the big blender from the cupboard which is also a pain to clean.

I think Ninja should rename this Foodi Power Nutri Blender to the Ninja Pocket Rocket because it’s a very modest little (rocket-shaped) device that completely pulverises almost anything you put into it. It’s extremely powerful and really quite noisy but then it works so quickly you don’t have to suffer the jet-engine whine it produces for too long. The motor base is smaller than most blender bases tend to be, including Ninja’s, but it packs a punch – so much in fact that it needs little sucker-feet underneath to stop it launching itself across your worktop.

You get two containers, one for blending smoothies and the other for making nut butters or desserts, and they both share the same blade base. There are also two more lids, one plain leakproof lid and one with a flip-top spout so once you’ve blended your smoothie you can swap that for the blade base and drink straight from the beaker. As a smoothie maker this Ninja does what you’d expect and blends everything to a tasty smooth texture in a minute or so. Even frozen fruit or ice cubes get obliterated and you can even use it to make instant fruity ice cream or frozen yoghurt by adding frozen fruit to custard or yoghurt. I tend to use it to mix up protein shakes and it’s perfect for that, no lump stands a chance.

The other beaker has an inbuilt stirrer which you rotate by hand while the blender is working to make sure all the nuts or fruits get evenly blended. That works pretty well but it’s a chore to scoop out anything gloopy, like nut butters, which get stuck around the plastic stirrer blades and it’s another chore to wash it out afterwards. However, although it’s a chore to clear out it’s still totally worth the effort because it does such a good job of making nut butter and so quickly. You simply add about 200g of your favourite nuts together with a spoonful of oil and a shake of salt (optional) and then attach the beaker and push the button. You use the MIX program and that takes about 2 minutes and varies the pulses and speeds as it goes. Throughout that process you manually spin the stirrer blades on top and they supposedly make sure all the nuts get buttered. That said it doesn’t actually seem like the stirrer blades do very much but when the program is finished and you open the beaker you get a lovely crunchy-style nut butter which seems to be very evenly smushed. If you like very smooth nut butter then it might be possible to keep blending but I haven’t tried that and TBH I doubt if it would work very well – maybe if you add extra oil to slacken the mix it might be effective. Personally I love crunchy style nut butters and this Ninja makes them better than any device I’ve ever tried before and I’m looking forward to experimenting with different nut mixes and maybe adding other ingredients. Yes, I mean chocolate.

That smaller beaker is really handy for chopping up other things too but you have to be aware of how powerful and fast it is, it really takes no prisoners. For example I wanted to make breadcrumbs for a topping on a dish I was making and so I put a single slice of frozen bread in and tapped the PULSE button and in an instant it was pulverised to fine breadcrumbs, literally in about a second. If you wanted to chop things more roughly or coarsely then this little blender might be overkill but if you want to blend things to a smooth texture it’s amazing. It’s small and neat enough to be left sitting out on your worktop and the beakers are easy to assemble and use even if the stirrer-beaker is a pain to clean afterwards. It’s certainly quite loud and noisy but it’s a great little whizzer.

This has swiftly become my favourite kitchen gadget. Although I already had a food processor, a hand whisk and a jug blender, this machine has really carved out a place of its own in my kitchen and gets used almost daily.

If you’re considering getting one, you need to understand that it’s not a blender/liquidiser for making soups or other hot dishes. It doesn’t have a large capacity, and it’a not for blending hot liquids. What it’s great at is producing fresh and healthy smoothies, shakes, dips and spreads – everything from a breakfast banana milkshake to a fresh berry smoothie to a bowl of home-made hummus, guacamole or peanut butter.

The box contains a base unit and a blade assembly unit which can screw into either of two blenders – a large one (Nutri Cup) for shakes and extractions or a smaller one (Nutri Bowl) for thick smoothies or dips/spreads. The base unit has a number of smart programs you can use with the specific recipes in the accompanying booklet (obviously you can adapt these to suit your tastes!) called blend, crush, mix & powermix. You can also operate the unit manually or “pulse” briefly as necessary. The smaller Nutri Bowl has a “power paddle” which you can rotate manually as the device is working – this is a great addition, as when blending something thick or viscous, it helps stop the contents getting stuck at the top as the blades do their work underneath. Both have lids – one with a pouring spout – which you can screw on after removing the blade assembly, so you can mix your drink or spread and take it with you if you like.

I made several recipes from the accompanying recipe book – two in the large NutriCup (banana milkshake and Ginger Orange Extract) and two in the smaller NutriBowl (Green Power Bowl and Raspberry Frozen Yogurt) and I also plan to use it to make home-made slush puppies, hummus and other dips and spreads. It’s very versatile.

The blade assembly, both blender bowls and lids are all dishwasher safe (top shelf only) but it’s also quite simple to wash them quickly in the sink if you’re in a hurry. One note of caution, though – don’t fill the cups too full (there is a maximum marked on both containers) or you may find they’ll leak while you’re blending.

I can’t believe I have gone so long without having a ninja blender. I have other similar products from other brands and they worked fine, and I thought “they are all the same anyway right?”…..wrong!
This is amazing. It’s quicker than others I have used, very consistent….consistencies, a little loud (as you’d expect) but the preset programmes and the time shown on the front are super helpful. And unlike some others than means I can set it up and leave it to work while I do something else rather than stand and watch it or have to hold it down to activate.

I love the power nutri bowl, the dial on the top to keep the contents moving is a brilliant idea. Previously I either couldn’t make thicker drinks/sauces etc…or else I had to keep stopping the blender and shaking to redistribute ingredients, almost always ended with little chunks that didn’t get blended.

Good size cup for smoothies/shakes with a comfortable sports top lid. The lids!…great seal, the screw in to the top of the cups rather than over them which just makes for a better seal and less mess, none of that little dribble down the size when you unscrew it after it’s been shaken up a little.

Doesn’t take up huge amounts of counter space, quick and easy to put together and rinse off the blades when you’re done (perfect for making smoothies before work in the morning, done in 5 minutes) and strong suction cups and grip feet on the bottom to hold it steady while it does it’s thing.

And a nice selection of starter recipes in the accompanying booklet.

Everyone should own one, you absolutely won’t regret it.

I’ve had my old ninja for a fair few years now but just don’t use it often as you need to stand and press the cup down and can only do it in 30 second bursts. This new one you can press a button and your smoothie will be ready in 60 seconds.
A couple of noticeable upgrades from my original one. Firstly, there’s an extra blade so it chops through fruit and ice quicker. The base whilst wider than my old ninja has suckers on the bottom which stuck firm to my worktop. I filled the smoothie tumbler with a double quantity of smoothie which was almost at the max fill and in 60 seconds I had a perfectly blended drink.

If you want a blender that’s powerful, nice to look at, sturdy and easy to use and clean then get this machine!

It’s not just the power I like about this blender, it’s the build quality. Everything seems robust and that it’ll last for a long time.

I’ve purposefully reviewed this product empty so you can see how fast those mighty sharp blades spin (look at the comparison between a still and one of the functions being selected!)

You can either manually blend a combo of ingredients or select one of the auto programs that will combine anything you put in the cup within a matter of seconds!

Yet another fantastic product from Ninja! No complaints whatsoever 🙂

I had a type of blender for years until it was damaged by a fall. So decided to get a new 1 and this 1 came up. So got it and have to say it’s really good. I’ve put quite a few things through it as a tester and it did what I needed it to do.

I really do like it. It’s nice and heavy so it won’t fall over which blending everything up. It makes some nice smoothies and drinks and loads of things it can make. It has no end of things to make if you need it too.

Got to give it high marks as it’s an awesome blender.

Giving it 5-5. Just an amazing bit of kit every kitchen should have. Very please and very impressed with it.
