Ninja - Professional Blender 1000W (BL610)

I've had a Ninja for *years* and it's still going strong. I do all the things you're mentioning.

I like the ninja too, but I don't love the blade. I accidentally cut my hand a few times while washing it. That's why I gave up the ninja and bought the vitamix. But I still have the ninja with the food processor and the drink cup that came with it. Still use it.

The [Ninja BL610](https://x.com/ohletsshop/status/1923711506572591212?s=46) is a real workhorse in any kitchen! With its powerful motor and super sharp blades, it effortlessly handles everything from crushing ice to blending delicious smoothies and making smooth purees. The large 72-ounce pitcher is ideal for preparing generous quantities, and cleaning up is a snap since it's dishwasher safe. This blender looks great, feels solid, and performs like a top-of-the-line model, all at a fantastic price. If you're someone who blends things often, I highly recommend it!

I have a Vitamix, so that's what I'm used to. My son and I took a cooking class, though, and used a Ninja there, and we learned about what you said from using it. It was not as good for making sauces or soups because it didn't funnel like the Vitamix. It blended very unevenly.

The Ninja is a cheap alternative to the expensive quality ones Ninja gives outstanding quality (for the price)

I'll be the odd one out and say I'm not happy with my Ninja. The small smoothie cup works well, but the full size does not. It's also plastic so not suitable for blending hot things.

Love my ninja.

I’ve got a Ninja but it’s the model without the blades, just the standard dull blender blades at the bottom. It’s awesome for $100.
