Bought one late last Dec (2023). One has to learn to work with it. Place liquids and softer, non-frozen ingredients in first. Harder vegetables and fruits like pineapples more toward the top, ditto for frozen fruits. Works better with fruits than vegetables. Cut ingredients into smaller-sized pieces as necessary. If a lot of nuts are in, the harder varieties may not blend-liquify completely. Now, the primary problem: battery power. Supposed to get around 10-12 30-second blends on a charge, per the instructions. Mine is now down to 4 to 5. This is a primary issue/complaint amongst those submitting reviews on sites such as Wal-Mart, and Target (where I bought mine). I'll use mine as long as I can nevertheless, but if/when I have to replace it, I will do so with a full AC-powered model. As with EVs, dependable long-lasting rechargeable batteries apparently just aren't 'there' yet, even with devices this comparatively small. Oh, and don't waste the battery on the suggested cleaning method, the device is easy enough to break down and wash by hand.

Margarita's on the beach, etc....Thank You Ninja Blast

It’s a good idea but I would have preferred a cup version after blending it’s pretty weird to walk around with your blender while you’re drinking. Would I recommend this for the price probably not. Unless you want a small blender for your college student in a dorm! There ya go! They can make their margaritas

The lid is my most favorite part. Why can't everyone else get it right?!

I like that it’s small, easy to move around and portable. 👍

Excellent review! All the salient information without any fluff. Keep up the good work 👍

Es la mejor inversión que he hecho , la uso todos los días , después del gym la uso para la proteína con hielo , queda súper bien , 100 recomendable

Does it have pass through. Meaning if no battery can i blend if it connect to USB?

For cleaning I would think putting boiling water inside and then blend would get the blades cleaned good. Why do you need to submerge when it's the inside that needs cleaning not the outside?

Thank you for this very well done video! 😀

Got it on sale at 69,99$ (20,00$ off) at Costco today… in Québec. Ninja fan too 😊

when I put it on it just lights up red but the purple light is on first and then when I push it to play the red button goes on the red light goes on

i hold it angled slightly to ease weight on the motor

i am inlove just got that one !!!!

Thank you

CAN YOU LEAVE IT PLUGGED IN

I was looking at this but because it was sold out, went with the Hamilton beach version. I must say im impressed as i can remove the jar from the base and use the included top and it was $40 CAD. I wish i went with the opened package from amazon and got it for $28.

Thanks Erin.

thanx for review

How do you wash the blade? In the dishwasher for proper cleaning

People shopping for a blender probably want to be able to hear the blender.

if it is dead can you still blend if you plug it in?

But... you can remove the jar for cleaning, right.??

Is This blender is loud ?

It is hard to clean. While cleaning water goes into charging port!!!

Ninja's battery is horrible. After two weeks, I can't blend one protein shake. This is after fully charging the unit. Conducted research, and it is a common problem. Should've done it before purchasing the ninja.
