The splash guards are keyed and must. be twisted/rotated into place to seal and mate properly with the jar. The multi-level blade assemblies contribute greatly to its chopping efficiency, so much so that one has to be careful not to overdo it."
"I think they could do with an improvement here and I'd be willing to pay extra for that, hence 4 stars instead of 5 which this product would otherwise have richly deserved. This review was written solely to share my experience with this product for the benefit of the Amazon community. As such, just as I disclose having received a review sample when that is the case, I thought it prudent to state that this is not one of those cases."
"There was very little plastic to protect the item and the shipper did not box the item in a separate box to protect it."
"I got rid of my blender. But now 4 months later, I noticed the medium blender bowl has a crack in the bottom of the bowl straight through where the pin is."
"This will be my first and last Ninja product."
"I've had this just under a year."

You would literally have to use this blender for 10 minutes non stop to make that happen. I understand that 4 dollars on top of the 39.99 for the professional series type blender can break the bank."
"The hummus always comes out chunky and warm and smells a little burnt, no matter how little of the mix I put in to blend at once. Now 115 was a little hard to justify since I have a blender which works perfectly, aside from making hummus. I like having a pulse grip motor at the top, it's oddly more satisfying to use that than pressing a button on a blender. It makes great hummus, mashed cauliflower, mashed potatoes, and buttermilk biscuit dough (if you have not made buttermilk biscuits where you mix solid butter into a flour mix until it resembles a coarse meal, you cannot imagine the relief that this machine brought me)."
"I mainly make smoothies with mine, using a protein powder, milk, ice and sometimes frozen fruit with no problems. It comes with a large 48 ounce pitcher that has a easy to pour spout with a no slip bottom, 16 oz master prep bowl, which is what I mainly use to make my smoothies."
"Even now, I'm sitting here hungry and wanting to make my morning smoothie but the thought of all the parts and assembling it makes me lazy to do it! And don't even get me started on cleaning each of the aforementioned parts. I use flax seed and everything has to be rinsed immediately after blending or it will become very difficult to clean. It grinds up ice beautifully and makes great smoothies BUT I do have to put in each ingredient one at a time and blend it. One time, early on, I was in a rush getting all my ingredients together and throwing stuff in...only to realize I forgot to put the BLADE in."
"I bought this blender specifically for making smoothies and protein shakes."

I've owned the 900 watt ninja for about a year, used it daily but finally decided to leave it at our beach house so I found myself in the market for another blender. All brands & models were up for consideration and I thought to myself, why roll the dice with a brand I have no experience with? I'd never had a problem with my 900 and the results are always super but there was one thing the 900 didn't have that I wanted. As I said for over a year I've used a ninja each morning to blend yogurt / banana / frozen peaches/ blueberries / pineapple / mango / strawberrys / coconut juice and a couple high potency probiotic capsules with no problems whatsoever."
"I'm a 31 year old male who normally doesn't care much about the differences or the additional details of one product vs. the other one as long as it gets the job done. I was the proud owner of 2 Magic Bullet blenders over the past 6 years given the cheap price and convenient size. Where you can stick the bullet into your bag and take it anywhere you want to, the Ninja is a bit too big for that, but if you're like me and only need to use it a home then that won't be an issue. the 900w Nutri Ninja basically slam-dunks -all-up-in-your-face, signs the poster and mails it home to your family- outperforms the Bullet and there is absolutely no argument there. I've read people say the motor is louder because of the additional power, but the difference is minor and you're only really running it for less than a minute TOTAL, so who cares? The value for me lies in creating my shake/smoothie, removing the top and immediately drinking it and only having to clean the ONE cup + the blades. Larger, normal sized blenders you have to clean the large container, and that's where my ADD kicks in and I stop using it. With the smaller sized cups its a simple process: grab cup, add fruits or ingredients you need, add liquid, hit BLEND, stare in awe like a kid at Disney World for the first time, remove top, drink and rinse."

This extends to pretty much any other product that'll fit in its chute (tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, onion, cabbage, strawberries, potatoes, celery, you get the idea). Industrial standard processors (like Waring or Robot Coup) are prohibitively expensive. The 14 cup capacity is about as big as you can get before you need a much more expensive machine, and has been fine for our needs preparing food for hundreds of people per day. The plastic is prone to cracking especially from the high heats of industrial dishwashers and physical abuse (kitchen workers tend to be aggressive with their tools)."
"It is the most expensive thing I've ever bought for my kitchen (appliances not included), and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. The only thing is it's too tall to fit on my counter, beneath the upper cabinets. It now has a place of honor on my peninsula because 1) it's too heavy to move around all the time, and 2) it deserves it. Safety features- there's no way you're getting a body part anywhere near those blades while they're running, just use common sense when handling them."
"I just upgraded to this from a cheap (if you call $80 cheap) B&D model."
"MY DREAM 14 cup Cuisinart food processor....my 7 cup FINALLY died and I a was FREE to purchase a RED one for my very own!!"
"I had the older version of this classic food processor when it was made of white plastic. I finally received my new Cuisinart from Amazon which had the best price and am happy to be reunited with my old, favourite food processor but now in stainless steel."

"I get up in the morning and making my breakfast protein shake is so quick and easy. I would never dream of using my blender to make my morning shake."
"Another thing I noticed is the vibration actually starts to loosen the cap when it's on the machine."
"ALSO also, if you're using regular size onions and tomatoes, this product actually sux, because it's not really built to handle the larger fruits and veggies, as the 'single serving' size canisters are narrow and the products can get stuck(hence the shaking technique). What this product does best, is, making single serving smoothies."
"The plastic parts under the blade (where it meets the motor) came apart and started smoking."
"I also realize this is a smaller blender so I make sure to chop things up a little smaller than I so for my full size blender at home."
"The solid leaks with liquids, and the perforated lid has 2 sides, which would presumably let you dispense 2 different amounts of seasoning, but what ends up actually happening is dispense throught the large and small holes simultaneously."

Find Best Price at Amazon"My mom has owned and loved hand blenders since I was a kid, and this one began its life being about as good as any of the ones my mom has owned over the years. I've made purees, jams, it's especially useful for finely chopping things that would otherwise take a small eternity to chop (nuts, herbs, etc). Fine for pulse-chopping pecans and the like, but I am dreading what will happen if I try to whip cream."
"I am a little disappointed in this product, it feels like the blades of the cup part (processor) should be tilted diagonally to mix in the upper stuff (whatever you want to process). Used the whisk works well in the cup that comes with it, just don't let it touch the bottom of the cup, it might stop the motor from running."
"The handheld part controls the whisk, mini chopper, and hand blender and the attachments just snap on to the handle with a push button release. There is also a “turbo” button that gives it an extra burst of power as needed without having to turn the dial. The set includes a large tumbler to use the hand mixer with and the food chopper base."
"When you first plug it in a blue ring around the speed dial quickly lets you know the unit has power and is ready to go. You press 2 buttons on either side of the motor unit to release the current attachment and the new snaps into place. We tried making meringue out of egg whites, the whisk attachment handled that beautifully and very quickly."
"Latest: the plastic teeth broke between the hand held motor and the chopper/immersion blender broke."

Disclaimer: Kale still tastes like kale (gross), so maybe just don't try that) and wheatgrass should be clipped in half/thirds so it doesn't wrap around the blades like hair around a vacuum cleaner's brush."
"After doing a lot of research we decided to go with the refurbished one as a lot of reviews are saying this is the best deal with the Vitamix. We saved over $100 going with the refurbished one."
"The container is significantly shorter (but holds the same amount). It now slides under my counter tops with the container on the base. With the 5200 you had to use the on/off switch as some sort of makeshift pulse if you wanted to dice veggies. I've been using Vitamix machines for years, so you'll be happy with whatever model you get."
"I decided to try out the 5300, and there were a number of things I'd like to comment on after reading other reviews here. And they are easier to reach for any cleaning beyond the usual Vitamix's after-blend soapy water cleanse. In a world of instant everything, pushing one more button -- with a pretty blue light, i might add -- hardly seems a point to quibble when the machine itself is a thing of functional beauty. It performs just as the 5200; I do not see a difference, and I'm making smoothies, nut butters, soups, chopping veggies, etc. Vitamix -- again, no matter what model -- remains a U.S. built machine by workers in Ohio. The fact that it is made by U.S. workers AND is the best blender in the world makes us a Vitamix family for life."
