I know the title of my review sounds over-the-top, but for me, the Ninja Blast really is life changing. This is what I love most about the Blast:
I love smoothies and shakes and being able to make something quick without a lot of fuss is important to me. Until I found the Ninja Blast, I was using an old-fashioned full-sized blender to make my smoothies. Ugh. It is too big for one shake and cleaning it is not easy. I rarely made smoothies because I dreaded the cleanup. I know, a bit lazy but cleaning the blender is just one of those tasks I hate. The Ninja Blast, on the other hand, is compact enough that cleaning really is a quick cleanup.
The cleaning is not the only thing, however, that I love about the Ninja Blast. It is so darned powerful for such a small blender, and I was quite surprised the first time I used it. It is easy to use because the smoothie button is pre-programmed. No guessing required! Crush and Blend work just as well and so far, all three options have met my needs. After charging, it is an out-of-the-box and ready to use blender without having to spend time reading instructions. There are two peel-off instruction tips on the motor base, but I've left them on because they are excellent guides.
Bottom line, I highly recommend the Ninja Blast Cordless Portable Blender.
The Ninja Blast Max is an incredible mixer! With a simple click, it attaches to the blender, making it super easy to use. It’s just the right size—slightly larger than the Ninja Blast—so it holds the perfect amount for my daily protein smoothies at work. I use it every day and couldn’t be happier.
Love this blender for travel. Have had it since February & use it about 3 times a week. Battery died recently and they sent me a new one quickly with the warranty.
I bought this blender two days ago. I tried out the blender with 8 ounces of water and a full container of frozen fruit. Strawberries bananas blueberries. First I push the button. Nothing happened. This was on a full charge. I shook the container. Nothing happened again. Now I removed the container from the base. I took a straw and tried to move around some of the pieces of fruit at the bottom. I started the blender once again now it started to work. But it still did not pull down the rest of the fruit. I had to shake this container and blender and move it in different directions to try to get it to blend everything. Extremely difficult. I did add more water and repeated the process several times this did work. But I wanted to add my protein powder next, I tried to do that when I pushed the button again. I received three orange lights which indicates overheating. If this overheats, you have to wait an hour for it to cool down.So I had to try to shake everything else in the container and finish because I did not want everything that I mixed to go to waste. I will try this one more time with less ingredients and I will see what happens. Maybe the blade on this unit are just not sharp enough and the initial torque on this machine needs to be increased.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Theo, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We're so sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your Ninja Blast. Please reach out to our team by phone at 1-800-365-0135, we'd be happy to look into this for you.
I bought it a few weeks ago. And it’s perfect for me. Allows me to bring smoothies on the go. Blends very very well! Haven’t used the crush ice option but I’m looking forward to making iced drink with it! So far I love it and have no issues with it. Loved that it’s also able to be removed from the base and carried around that way. Would for sure buy it for friends & family.
