Ninja BL660 Professional Compact Smoothie & Food Processing Blender, 1100-Watts, 3 Functions -for Frozen Drinks, Smoothies, Sauces, & More, 72-oz.* Pitcher, (2) 16-oz. To-Go Cups & Spout Lids, Gray

I’ve been really happy with this Ninja blender. It blends everything very well and makes smoothies super smooth without leaving big chunks behind. I’ve used it for fruit, frozen ingredients, and everyday drinks, and it has been strong and reliable so far. It feels powerful but still easy to use, which is exactly what I wanted. I also like that it comes with different cups and attachments, so it is convenient whether I’m making a bigger batch or just one drink for myself. Cleaning is pretty easy too, which makes me actually want to use it more often. Overall, it works great, blends really well, and feels like a solid purchase.

This blender has been an excellent upgrade for our family. Our old personal blender finally stopped working, and since we now have a bigger household, we wanted something large enough to make smoothies for everyone at once. This blender has been perfect for that. It’s incredibly powerful and blends smoothies quickly and smoothly. I’ve also used it to make dips, and it handles everything with ease. The included personal smoothie cup is a nice bonus and works just as well for single servings. The only downside is that it’s a bit loud, which tends to scare our dogs, but that’s a small trade-off for how well it performs. The blades are also extremely sharp, so cleaning requires extra caution. I actually cut myself the first time I cleaned it. Now I simply fill the pitcher with very hot water and a little dish soap, let it soak, and avoid touching the blades directly. As long as you’re careful, it’s easy to keep clean safely. Overall, I absolutely love this blender. It’s powerful, versatile, and the perfect size for a family. If you’re looking for a high-performance blender that can handle everything from smoothies to dips, this is an excellent choice. Just be extra careful when cleaning the blades.

I haven't had a blender in many years. About six months ago I started a new health and exercise regimen...determined to feel and looking better by making small steps every day. I eat a lot of fresh fruit and veggies like avocado, kale, bananas, etc. I decided a couple months ago that it was time for the next step...healthy, clean smoothies! I was a little lost on where to start, and trying to figure out if I wanted to splurge the extra couple hundred dollars for a Vitamix or if a Ninja would do the trick. I am glad I saved the money and went with the Ninja. Although I'm sure if you use the blender for a lot more than smoothies and for really rough food items a Vitamix could be a great investment - but for smoothies? This is perfect for me and I don't possibly see how they could taste better. I love how this comes with two cups so that you can make single-serve smoothies without all of the huge mess of using the big blender. I mostly only use this for single-serve smoothies, so I haven't touched the big one in a long time. WARNING - please be warned that the blades are EXTREMELY sharp, and I do believe that Ninja should alert you to this more while opening. While opening the package, my husband literally sliced his finger open. He hates going to the hospital so stitched it himself...but it was serious, probably about 6 stitches worth. It was a massive gash and the packaging doesn't warn you about it at all. I read another reviewer said that when her husband opened it the blade was loose and literally fell on his food and he had huge lacerations and had to go to the ER. So it's nothing to mess with. I was actually kind of terrified of the blender for a short while after it happened, but it's fine now...just be careful! The SINGLE-SERVE is really the life-saving part of this. Here is my absolute favorite smoothie recipe: Banana Peanut Butter Yogurt Smoothie 1/4 cup water 3-4 ice cubes 1 banana 3/4 cup of yogurt (I prefer the new Oui French Yogurt by Yoplait. One glass container is exactly 3/4 cups). Pinch of cinnamon 1 tablespoon organic peanut butter Optional: ice cream (if I'm in the mood) or a half a scoop or scoop of protein powder after a particularly hard workout. Make sure when you make smoothies to put THE SOFT STUFF on TOP! I used to put the ice last on the top and it takes like 10 times as long to blend. Sounds really obvious, but I totally was not thinking at first. In about 30 seconds or less your smoothie is absolutely perfect. I have zero problems with it. It's totally smooth, delicious, and the cups are really easy to clean and I love the lids. I am so happy with this purchase. If you are a gourmet chef and are blending things constantly for dinners a Vitamix may be for you...but for basic things, like smoothies or shakes? This is perfect and I'm so glad I chose this one.

I love this thing! It makes the finest of chopped ice and anything else I put in it, and it works very well as a result. I don't get to use it often, but when I do, I feel a bit like a ninja with all the blade work going on in my kitchen with all the slicing and dicing it can do. I've made some great milk shakes with it and can't recommend it enough for that fact alone.

First off, I love ordering from Amazon. They are so fast. Product came within a couple of days! I read hundreds of reviews on this product and others before I purchased. I do not have the $, and did not want to spend on the higher end such as Vitamix, Blendtec, or even Breville. So, I research the Ninja. Not sure where all these folks who write bad reviews are having their troubles, but this blender rocks. First off, the blades. Yes, they are wicked! Just unboxing this device and looking down in, I can't imagine why anyone would even try to stick their hands inside the blender with the blades in. When I use mine, I simply fill up with warm water, add a couple of drops of dish soap, blend, then rinse. I got this idea from another reviewer. When I dump out the water, I just hold my finger on the top of the spindle for the blades to hold it in place while I am dumping out the water. Then I set it on the cabinet to let it air dry. I bought this product mainly for making smoothies. I make a 20 ounce smoothie made of kale, spinach, protein powder, berries, ice cubes, coconut/rice milk and whatever other "green" stuff I choose. I pulse it a couple of times, then off I go on speed 3. This blends it up nicely in just a few seconds but no longer than a minute. I am not clear what folks expectations are on smoothies, as their is a little "pulp", but this recipe is delicious, the ice is blended perfectly, no chunks and I can drink it through a straw in the cup I pour it into. Great way to start my day. I use the single serving cup to give my granddaughter a smoothie made of a strawberry flavored protein powder and milk. She thinks she is getting a strawberry frappe while grampa is sneaking in some nutrition! If anyone is considering this product, buy it. It is a third-half the cost of competitors and it blends perfectly. I guess if you're an ultra serious health conscious green smoothie consumer, then vitamix or blendtec might be for you, but I personally can't see any reason to spend that much money. For me, it works perfectly all the way around; fantastic blending, easy cleanup (you just have to think a bit about what you're doing) and my particular smoothie tastes great.

I made this purchase back in 2017 for a mere $63, which was quite a steal at the time though adjusted for inflation that would be about $80 today. At that time, I was on a budget and couldn't splurge on a Vitamix, but I still wanted something more capable than a Black and Decker blender which in my experience was more of a course stirrer than a blender. This blender, admittedly, wasn't expected to be the most robust, so from the time I bought it until about 2020 it spent most of its time tucked away in my cabinets, making occasional appearances for the creation of frozen daiquiris and it did that quite wonderfully. As time went on, and I grew a bit older, my perspective shifted. I realized the importance of incorporating fiber into my diet for an enjoyable, healthier, and... regular life. This led me to start making smoothies regularly, and that's where this blender truly shines. Since the end of 2020, I've been blending a smoothie, sometimes two or three, every day. That's three years, well over 1200 smoothies, and remarkably, every single one has been well-textured and fully combined. I can't complain about the output. Certainly, there are evident signs of its budget-friendly nature. The build is lightweight and quite plasticky, lacking any sound dampening, making it quite loud. Yet, given its initial price point, I didn't expect top-notch build quality. They compensated for this underwhelming build by ensuring the internal gears continued to churn just as effectively as they did on day one. The only issue I've encountered over the years was the rubber threading on my smoothie blade wearing out, forcing me to purchase a replacement for $15 back in February of this year. Not bad for something this cheap. All things considered, I've been genuinely pleased with this purchase six years later. While I might consider upgrading in the future for reasons of aesthetics and noise reduction becoming more important to me than price, if your primary concerns are price and function, this is a pretty good option. I can't speak to all the functions of a blender, but if you want to blend frozen fruit smoothies with chia and flax (and you need to break apart those seeds while blending so that your bowels operate with some level of consistency), then this is undeniably a fantastic entry-level blender.

I LOVE mine so I had to get my daughter-in-law one for their new home. We love making smoothies with this. It's loud but very good at blending what we need. The cups and lids are a great addition. The size is great and using the cups for smaller blends is perfect.

Cant go wrong with ninja stuff. I love this blender. I can finally make pro level stuff because it has the horsepower behind it.

I bought this blender to replace an old glass one that I had for $60. This one is by far more than quadruple the quality. The blades are quick and powerfull. Blends all the way through 98% of the time. I'm sure the 2% is my user error. The 3 blades are very nice and are the reason why it blends so smoothly. cleaning them is a little difficult so I suggest rinsing the blades with hot water immediately after you are finished blending to avoid scrubbing so much. The jug size is large and is easy enough to fit lots of various ingredients. The main motor hub is really powerful, it is loud but not as loud as some of the more cheap blenders. This one is very simple and has only 3 speeds and a pulse option, which in all honesty is all you need. The buttons are the membrane push buttons for easy cleaning they feel durable. there are a few safety features for the lid to prevent turning on the unit without the lid. The handle is ultra comfortable and plastic is very durable so far mine is not scratched at all. Overall it's an amazing Blender and I brag about it to my friends since even though they have blenders they hate blending every morning. So far I have been making a smoothie every day for the past 3 months that I've had this thing. It's still going very strong! ps. Blends protein powder into your smoothie very quickly! So really only 8 seconds total is all you need to blend in the protein powder after everything else is blended otherwise you will end up with a protein whipped cream lmaooooo.

The seller is excellent. Unfortunately, I had to return the product because it doesn't use the necessary electricity where I live.

BUEN PRODUCTO, EXCELENTE PRECIO, MUY PRACTICOS LOS VASOS

Funciona de maravilla, hasta para triturar el hielo, lo recomiendo bastante, sus aspas y el motor qué incluyen facilitan muchísimo el trabajo.

This blender is fantastic, everything blends evenly with the fantastic blade design, nothing sticks to the bottom like a traditional blade blender I found myself having to tip the machine and bang on it to get ice and fruits to actually blend because they would stick to the bottom edges. This one eliminates that, and blends everything evenly and quick. Very good solid build quality, would recommend to anyone looking for a easy to use quick blender without the frustrating issues of a traditional blade blender. Makes a perfect snow out of ice without the surprise lumps of ice. Powerful motor really gets er' dun, without lagging or straining the motor under load.
