[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a professional blender with a modern design and powerful motor compared to the original blender from Ninja. The total crushing blades give perfectly crushed ice for smoothies and frozen drinks with 1400W power. It has 3 preset programs that allow you to create frozen drinks, smoothies, and ice creams with a touch of a button. It has an auto shut-off, locking mechanism, and a digital display screen for ease of use. It can crush up to 72oz of ice and has a 64oz liquid capacity. It is dishwasher safe or can be hand washed as well. This is one of the kitchen utensils which are used daily, especially since we have a young infant who can only eat mashed veggies, fruits, and cereal mixed with liquid ingredients. A handy blender that has space for every home.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ninja Professional Plus is an exceptional, highly functional, all-purpose countertop blender. It's well-built, durable, and very effective at accomplishing most of the tasks that I need to complete. There are two suction cups on the bottom of the blender to help keep it in place. Its large 72-ounce main jar with labeled measurements and a secure lid is ideal for making sizeable batches of great tasting sauces, dips, and dressings. The machine has a powerful 1400-watt motor and sharp stainless steel blades that are highly efficient at effortlessly pulverizing nearly anything inside it. Still, the unit could do a somewhat better job of fully blending nut butters and fibrous ingredients like kale. This convenient blender has three manual speed levels, a pulse feature, and boasts three Auto-IQ blending programs for crushing ice, making delicious smoothies, and healthy frozen treats. These intelligent presets take the guesswork out of blending, and I get really consistent results each time I use them. Unfortunately, this model cannot handle and isn't designed for making hot items such as hot soup. An included recipe book has provided me with plenty of inspiration. Moreover, the blender is easy to clean and all of its detachable parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great blender! I really like how simple it is: there's two intelligent pre-sets, high, medium, low, and pulse. That's it. Which is really all you need in a kitchen gadget to get things done. The AutoIQ intelligent functions ("smoothie" and "ice crush") are one-push easy buttons that walk through a preset speed and on-off sequence to get these items done with ease. I really like that! Smoothies are often tough on a blender that just has on and off functions, often creating a cavern around the bottom of the pitcher and never blending quite right. And crushing ice never comes out uniform. But with the AutoIQ functions, they are a breeze. That's not to say you can hit a button and forget about it; low volumes and thinner smoothies really don't need to go for the full auto duration and I prefer to sometimes stop in the middle of the longer end-run cycle. The multiple blades along the shaft really help with uniform blending, which is a great feature until you have to clean it; even then it's pretty easy if you're careful around the blades--they're sharp. I also really like the safety features: the soft rubber feet form suction on countertops, and the pitcher twist-locks into the base while the lid locks down for the unit to function.
In terms of power, the motor is powerful enough not to get bogged down, but I'd prefer a little more power. It's a minor gripe, because I haven't found anything this blender can't blend effectively. And sure, there are more powerful blenders on the market with full variable speed knobs, but this is an all-around good workhorse and definitely worth a spin.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blender is simply amazing. I like the bottom sticky thing which will hold blender pretty well so you don’t have to worry about it moving or holding it. I also like the auto iq and smart function which only turn it on when the lid is placed properly and tighten. Those multiple blades also blender everything perfect I used to hate putting spoon in my blender to move my smoothie and things upside down so all of it will have same consistency. Overall it’s amazing for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can tell it’s a powerful machine when you look at it—- The blades, and how tall the whole blender stands. It is larger than most blenders. The features are pretty straightforward. Plastic glass makes it easier to handle.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the ultimate blender. Horsepower to spare when crushing ice with plenty of capacity. The presets are amazing and flawless. Makes perfect smoothies with ease. The crushing blades aid in the quickly crushing large amounts of ice all at once.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ninja Pro Plus Blender with w-AutoIQ is an amazingly powerful blender. I love how easy it is to use and easy it is to clean; the parts are dishwasher safe (top rack). The main pitcher is large which is perfect for making larger portions all in one go.
The entire unit feels well-built/durable and the blades are super sharp (with six blades). This blender really does a fantastic job of crushing ice which we do regularly. You can easily create any blend of smoothies or icy beverages in seconds with this blender.
I really like the modern look/design and I especially appreciate the design of the lid as it has its own lock mechanism. I also find it clever that the lid also helps to keep the blade stable/in place. It locks into place as the lid goes on the pitcher, and with the lid off, the blade is easily removal for ease of cleaning.
I love that the power cord has its own stow away compartment which I honestly think should exist with all appliances. Overall footprint should be small enough to fit under most cabinets. The Ninja Pro works well for our needs. I find the controls to be responsive and simple to use and the pitcher size is perfect for our family of four!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a smoothie junkie and this blender makes it so easy. The auto IQ is nice because I’m not continuously trying to find the right speed, it does it for me. I’ve also made homemade salsa and it came out perfect. I definitely recommend this if you’re on the fence.
