Great blender that is easy to clean!

This is a review for the Nutri Ninja Duo Blendmax, 2 functions, 1 base. Included in the box - 1600 Watt Base, Max 88 oz Total Crushing Pitcher, Total Crushing Blades Assembly, 1 - 18 oz and 2 - 24 oz Tritan Nutri Ninja Cups, 3 Spout Lids (for the cups), Pro Extractor Blades Assembly (for use with cups) and a 20 Recipe Guide.
The first thing I did was take all of the parts out and wash them, noting that all of the parts were made in a way that they are very easy to clean. That is important to me. If something is difficult to clean, I probably won’t think it is worth dragging it out to use. The pitcher is huge! Much larger capacity than I have seen with other blenders. I will be using this to try out the Mudslide recipe for some friends. As for the base, it is heavy enough to feel sturdy but not so heavy as to be difficult to put it away regularly. This blender has Auto-IQ, which is automatic programs that are built in to make using it a no brainer. I did not own a blender before this one but wanted to own a good one and that is what I believe I have. The Auto-IQ buttons include: Smoothie, Frozen drink, Extract, Puree and Total Crush. The base also has buttons for low, medium, high and pulse actions.
I gave the recipe book a quick look and then went to the fridge to get some stuff to make a smoothie. I saw in the book that you could use the extract button to break down “fibrous ingredients” to include skins and seeds so I decided to start with an orange. It wasn’t organic so I peeled it but dropped the rest into the cup for processing using the extract button. It totally juiced that orange in no time with no trace of seeds, just nice and pulpy, which you could choose to strain if you liked. I used that as the liquid to make a strawberry orange smoothie. I had bagged ice that I threw in with whole fresh strawberries. My daughter said that I had better give this a very good review because she drinks smoothies all of the time and said that she has yet to have one with no grains of ice in it until now. She literally said it was the smoothest smoothie she had ever had.
I have not had a chance to use every function of this blender yet, but I can’t wait to try them all as this appears to be an excellent blender. Make sure you pay attention to the recipe book as far as how you are to load the cups and pitcher. I'm sure they have this information in there for a good reason and think it maximizes results. I followed the suggested order and my smoothie results have been great! The only downside is I think it is a little loud during operation, but I have no real experience to make a comparison.
I will try to update this review after I have more experience with my new blender.

Cover every shot with this all-in-one Nikon 18-140mm camera lens that lets you zoom from wide-angle to telephoto without missing a beat. Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass creates amazing contrast, and the zoom enables crisp images as close as 1.48 feet away. This Nikon 18-140mm camera lens features a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for super quiet clicks.

Nice lens for everyday shooting

This is the kit lens that was offered with the D7100 at the time I purchased it from Best Buy. I looked at the prices on the Nikon website to compare and Best Buy was in line with Nikon pricing. I got a great deal when I purchased my camera and got this lens for almost nothing. It doesn't get any better than that as the lenses hold their value better than the camera bodies do.
This is a great lens that produces great looking images but I already find myself wanting more zoom in some situations. I also agree with the other reviewers who have said it is kind of slow. I will definitely be looking at faster lenses when I am ready to branch out and purchase additional lenses. I want to use this one for a while so I can be sure where I want to go from here.

Nikon D7100 DSLR Camera Body: Open up to a world of finer detail with the Nikon D7100, designed without an optical low-pass filter for impeccably-detailed image and video capture. The 1.3x crop mode gives you extra reach from your lens without sacrificing the high resolution quality, and the 51-point autofocus system locks onto your subject for incredibly fast response times. Whether you're a semi-professional or a skilled photographer upgrading to a more advanced DSLR, the lightweight and compact D7100 will keep your creativity on the edge.Memory card sold separately.

This is my first DSLR camera. I shopped around for a while before deciding on the D7100. I didn't want to buy a less expensive camera just to find out that I have outgrown it in a year.
One of the great things about this camera is the ability to make changes to the manual settings without going into menus. The more you use the buttons on this camera the easier it gets. (And there are a lot of buttons!) I am taking lessons from a photographer so I am learning the settings much faster than I would have on my own. I also chose this camera because it is one of the only cameras in this price range that is weather sealed. Not waterproof, weather sealed.
When I first bought this camera I thought that I may have bitten off more than I could chew but I am very pleased with my decision. I thought that the weight of it would bother me while hiking around with it, but I am already pretty used to it. It is a lot of camera for a beginner so you will want to be committed to learning how to use it in manual mode if you want to get the most out of this great piece of equipment. Oh, and it also has two memory card slots. Now I just need to pick up that extra battery.
If you can't get on board with the size of this one, I would find out which compact DSLR takes the best photos and has great lenses. Just my opinion.

Carry your Nikon digital SLR camera in style with this bag. The rugged nylon construction and padded shoulder strap combine for comfortable portability.

This is a well made bag that has plenty of room for my current needs. It is actually bigger than I need right now but I will probably be happy for that extra space as I accumulate more accessories for my camera.
