I had wanted a Ninja for so long, but couldn't justify buying a new appliance when my Kitchenaid worked just fine. Finally, I decided to splurge for myself and bought this Ninja System. Let me tell you, I have now gotten rid of my Kitchenaid blender and food processor! The Ninja totally replaces them and works so much better. It has more power, works faster and performs many more tasks than the other blender and food processor did.



I love that the Ninja is so much easier to clean than my Kitchenaid was. The blade is removable, so it is so much quicker and easier to clean.



The pitcher locks onto the base so much easier and smoother. It removes easier and smoother too.



The lids lock securely.



You get a blade for each device, plus the dough blade. Excellent quality and generous of the company to add all these blades instead of trying to make them with just one blade to switch onto each device.



Although there are only 4 settings, plus the pulse, this thing handles all tasks perfectly and quickly. It makes my Kitchenaid look like a total joke and I just wish I would have bought this Ninja System sooner and never even bothered with the Kitchenaids.



You can get absolutely perfect smoothies, milkshakes, iced drinks in literally seconds. Frozen drinks, margaritas, slushies - perfect every single time and it really only takes a few taps on the pulse to get it done. I was amazed at how much quicker this is and how perfect you can get the consistency iof the drinks. No matter how thick or thin you like your smoothies, and whatever ice type you like for frozen drinks and slushies is possible. From tiny chunks like the real Icees/Slush Puppies or soft like snow, like italian ice, you can get it perfect. This system can make every consistency. And it doesn't matter if you use the large pitcher or the single serve, you will get the same great results.



Using the single serve is quick and easy. It is so nice to be able to mix up something in the cup and be able to take it right with you and not have to worry about a large pitcher to clean. It is really nice when you're running late or in a hurry because it takes literally just seconds to make your drink and be done and go. My son loves the single serve for use with protein shakes/smoothies. They're so much less gritty and he can add fruits into them to get a bit better flavor than just the powder and milk or water.



The base feels very solid, well made and durable. No cheap feeling to any part of this set. There are suction feet on the bottom so that it won't vibrate or move around on the counter.



You have 2 sizes of food processors to use. You can use the large one by itself, or if you need to process smaller amounts you just put the smaller bowl inside the larger one and add the ingredients to the smaller bowl.



This is one of my most favorite purchases, ever. It is everything you need, all in one package and just one main base/motor. It is actually saving me cabinet space too, instead of having the blender and 2 food processors. My kitchenaid blender was tall and slender, so it was hard to store - it was too tall for the kitchen cabinets and I hated taking the pitcher off the base to store it because the pitcher always wanted to fall over everywhere and it was tricky to attach and remove. The Ninja is a much more convenient shape and size. The single serve cups go right on the shelf with our other drinking glasses and protein shakers. The food processor bowls store inside each other nicely. The only thing that sets randomly by itself is one of the blades because you can fit 2 blades in the processor bowls to store them. No bug deal though, I just keep it in the corner cupboard in a plastic storage container so no one gets cut on it.



Love, Love, Love this system. We use it every day and it is just as powerful as the first time we used it. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. It is a great gift too since you have so many appliances in one. I was like a kid on Christmas when UPS dropped it off to me and I still get all giddy and giggly with delight when I use it.
