I love my Ninja, but it was so expensive. I wanted something that was going to last for a very long time. I love to make "shaved ice" for my Grandsons and put their favorite syrup over it. It's a great snow-cone maker. I love the suction on the bottom because I don't want it falling on anyone or being pulled off my counter-top.

An all around great machine! My fiance wasnt too keen on me buying this system, but once he started to use it for chopping veggies for soups, he loves it! He has said at least twice how much he loves having the Ninja!

This blender is awesome! Any other blender I have owned in the past needed you to jam a wooden spoon into it to get it to blend frozen fruit or ice. With this blender you can hit the button and turn around to do something quickly and when you go back to the blender it's done! The dough mixing feature is a major plus because it means I don't have to struggle mixing thick cookie dough. I love the suction cup safety feature because I have seen blenders waddle off of the table, another great safety feature is that the machine turns off if you take the lid off while it is blending! It is worth the money!

Very accustomed to my black and decker, old school glass jug blender, I needed an immediate replacement when the flass jug broke. I purchased the Ninja after researching many kinds online. I tend to be a little pessimistic when it comes to "amazing, one of a kind" advertised kitchen appliances having found none quite as amazing as advertised. So far, my ninja has changed my mind. It does an amazing job I have to say. I chose this model so I had thw mixing feature as well and made cookie dough just like my mom's mix-master! Smoothies with same ingredients just creamy delicious! Havent chopped veggies yet; but for this kitchen shy mama, I cant wait to keep playing with it! Cleans up easily, both jug/bowl large size. Love it! A little pricy.. more than average blenders but also came with capabilities the others did not. $198 tax

I love this almost more then my kitchen aid for certain uses, such as bread making, cookie dough, blending ice to snow!! So many great uses!! I love how quickly it kneads your dough, 2 minutes, for fantastic buns! I love this unit. I am a lover of the blender it works amazing! It falls short on the single cup blender for smoothies and such, I find my magic bullet works just as good for the single cup and better for making baby food. But all in all 2 thumbs up!

This is my favourite blender!!! Seriously it's is fantastic! I can make a frozen berry, banana, kale and matcha smoothie in less than a minute.

Other blenders would leave some of the berries still whole, and bits of the kale which were unpleasant to say the least, but this blender makes a perfectly smooth, amazing smoothie.

I'd buy it again if I had to, but don't think I will.
