Best Blender Ever!
I’ve had a few blenders over the years, but this Ninja BL660 is on a whole different level. It’s super powerful I can toss in frozen fruit, ice, even nuts, and it blends everything smooth in seconds. The 1100 watt motor doesn’t mess around. The 72oz. pitcher is perfect when I’m making smoothies for the whole family, but I really love the two on the go cups for quick mornings. I just blend right in the cup, pop on the lid, and head out the door. It’s super convenient and saves me time and cleanup. It’s also great for sauces, dips, and even chopping veggies. The 3 preset functions make it easy to use, and everything feels solid and well built. Plus, it looks sleek on my counter. If you want a blender that actually does what it promises and fast this one’s totally worth it. I use it almost every day and it hasn’t let me down.

    I bought the Ninja BL610 Black professional blender a few weeks ago, and it has exceeded all my expectations. It has a 1000-watt motor that really shows: it crushes ice in seconds and leaves smoothies with a super-smooth, lump-free texture.

    The 72 oz (2.1 L) pitcher is ideal for preparing large batches, which is perfect for when I'm cooking for the whole family or having guests over. Plus, the Total Crushing® technology in the blades is incredible; I've even made frappés, thick salsas, and green smoothies effortlessly.

    The design is modern and sleek, in black, and looks great in my kitchen. It's also easy to disassemble and clean, and all parts are dishwasher-safe, which is a huge plus.

    ⚠️ Note: It makes some noise when operating, but that's understandable considering its power. And while it doesn't come with extra accessories like single-serve cups, that hasn't been a problem for me.

    Bottom line: If you're looking for a powerful, durable, and high-quality blender, the Ninja BL610 is a totally worthwhile purchase. Highly recommended!

    It does what it's supposed to--and well. There's something for everyone with this blender and it's a must have for the summertime. You can make fantastic pina coladas and margaritas for lounging by the pool, great breakfast smoothies (especially for people like me who won't eat a lot of fruit otherwise), and I've also used it with slushie syrup to make slushies. It's a little trickier as a lot of syrups are meant to mix with water and freeze up in a slushie machine, but with the right ratio of ice, syrup, and water, you can make the exact same thing with this.

    And for the price? It's a no brainer. If you think of the prices of smoothies (around $10 at the SmoothieKing near me), or the prices of margaritas ($7-$20 depending on the quality), it's not going to take a lot to cover the cost.

    Why did you pick this product vs others?:
    I purchased a smaller blender (different brand) a few months ago. I discovered it wasn't powerful enough to blend the ice I use in my protein shakes. I decided to purchase the Ninja, even though the price was considerably higher, because I need a reliable and powerful blender to make my daily protein shakes. Well, this does not disappoint!! I wish I purchased sooner. I've been making numerous protein shake recipes the past week. It blends everything! Frozen bananas & other frozen fruit, peanut butter, frozen Greek yogurt. The possibilities are endless! I'm now excited that I can be very creative with my recipes. Don't hesitate to buy! This is a solid, powerful and easy machine to use. Has a convenient pour spout. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I rarely get excited about a product or appliance I've purchased but this is the best blender I've ever owned! This thing really works like no other blende I've used. The triple Tree blades not only obliterate ice and crunchy vegetables but keep all of the ingredients moving through the chopping process the entire time. The end result is homogenous mix of whatever it is you've blended. It works great for breakfast smoothies and frozen Margueritas! This product is built well and performs excellent. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable and reasonably priced blender!

    LOVE!!!! I admit it's a week bit noisy, but not annoyingly so. And boy does that thing work!! It turns ice cubes into crushed ice quick and evenly! I've used it to make Salsa (because I didn't feel like dragging out the food processor) ..it worked great! I bought mine on sale for $79. It's bigger than I thought too. Great for shakes sauces smoothies crushed ice. I'm glad it. BUT...watchout for the mixing blade - that thing is VERY sharp.... as I discovered trying to clean it. LOL

    I'm a healthcare professional and bought this after researching the competition (i.e., "Vita-Mix). After reading through a gazillion comments and reviews (including CR who rates the Ninja #2) I opted for the lower priced Ninja. I have used mine twice a day for the 6 weeks I have owned it, I use it for making smoothies. I blend for health, I have a morning fruit and berry smoothie and I have an afternoon veggie smoothie. Blending is a really convenient way to get in all your servings of fruit and veggies each day without removing the (very important) fiber. So far, I love my Ninja. I have had stuff made with a Vita Mix in the past, but have never done a side by side comparison, though I can think of a few differences that are meaningful for me. One, the Vita Mix generates heat. They use it as a selling feature, that you can use it to make soups, but I like my smoothies cold, so it's not something I look for in a blender. Secondly, Vita Mix seems to win in all the comparisons with Ninja on smoothness, or thoroughness of blending. The only reason I knocked one star off the Ninja is because I have noticed that my smoothies are a bit chewier after several weeks of blender use. I attribute that to the fact that Ninja relies (apparently) on their sharp blades, which naturally dull with use-especially when blending frozen berries or ice (which both of my smoothies contain). I've noticed a subtle change in texture, no chunks, but definitely not a fine blend. My understanding is that Vita Mix has dull blades that work for years, they do not rely so much on sharpness as they do on speed? The other thing (in addition to heat) that you get with a Vita Mix is aeration (foam), which I do not notice with the Ninja. My smoothies are full of fruit and veggies, so they are full of fiber. If you are okay with having some noticeable fiber in your blend over time, the Ninja is a great deal at about 1/5 the cost. If that matters to you, expect that you will have it in time (I started to notice it after about 25 blends). The blender cleans very easily and is simple to use. I've never had to remove the top to tamp stuff down and I use 3 cups of leafy greens like kale and arugula, as well as whole carrots, celery, apples, and never have chunks. Overall it's a great machine. I cannot rate longevity since I've only had it 6 weeks, but so far I'm very pleased.
    Update: It's January 2018, I owned the Ninja about 3 months and ended up getting a Vita Mix. I still stand by my original review, but there is a difference. The Ninja starts out pretty great, but then over time things do no blend as well. I drink 2 smoothies a day (one veggie, one fruit), so I use it a minimum of 2x a day. Over time I started calling my Ninja smoothies: "grainies." The blades start out very sharp, and the technology depends on that, but they dull with use and it shows in the results. The Vita Mix does not depend on blade sharpness, but power, it pummels everything to pieces (itty bitty pieces). I am amazed at the flour I can make with it. Also, the heat i mentioned is not a factor but a feature. Most things are blended in less than a minute (35 seconds often), so nothing really gets warm unless you leave it on in order to generate heat. The Ninja is a good blender, especially for the cost, but I don't think one can fairly compare it to a Vita Mix, it's like comparing apples and oranges.

    J'apprécie la qualité du produit pour son prix. J'ai été référé à ce produit depuis une pub facebook qui montrait les meilleurs mélangeurs pour faire des smoothies. Je croyais que j'allais payer près de 300$, mais j'ai acheté celui d'une boîte ouverte qui avait de légères imperfections. J'ai pris une chance et ce n'était que de petites égranitures comme des traces de clés sur le plastique. Bref très léger.

    This blender is incredible! I have filled it to the max with fruits, vegetables, seeds, yogurt and many other things, and it tears through it. It doesn't even hesitate. Price is a bit up there but I would totally pay it again.
