I was hesitant to get it because the reviews were either that it was fantastic or didn’t work at all, but when I saw the review from somebody saying that they finally contacted ninja because their blender just wasn’t working properly and they took care of it I decided to make the purchase. And I'm glad I did because I LOVE this blender!
Cons: 1. doesn't fit in my cup holder. Like at all. I've got a Dodge Charger for reference and it simply doesn't fit which is a bit of a bummer but oh well.
2. Kind of a ***** to clean. as one person said, the blades are attached so you can't remove them to clean, and the base has electronics in it cuz duh so you can’t get it wet to clean it also because duh. It makes trying to clean it a bit tedious, especially if you don't clean it right away. I got this because I didn’t have time to make and eat lunch while at work (I don't get a lunch break. I'm supposed to eat in between customers) so after I finish my smoothie sometimes I literally don’t have any time to clean it until the end of the workday after we are closed so it’s been sitting for hours with nothing in it. at that point the smoothie residue is stuck onto the plastic and I have to actually scrub it to get it clean. The clear plastic blender cup isn't bad because that can be removed and cleaned but since you can’t stick the bottom part in water, it takes forever to clean it with a damp cloth. That rubber seal on the bottom in particular is not fun to clean, food gets in the grooves and there's a BLADE in the way when you're trying to clean it. the blade isn’t super sharp per se so I’m not getting cut but it’s still in the way and I'm sure I COULD get cut if I wasn't paying attention.
Pros: it DEFINITELY lasts longer than one smoothie. I literally used it 8 times in three days: 1. Tested it once with nothing in it 2. Made a smoothie with banana almond milk fresh fruits and a scoop of protein powder for dinner. Blended it twice actually because I was scared of overfilling it so I underfilled it and added more. DAY TWO 3. Made a smoothie with banana almond milk frozen fruits and protein powder for breakfast 4. I saw someone say that they cleaned it by running it with soapy water in it so I tried that. Didn't really work, because of the cleaning the base issues I mentioned. 5. Made a smoothie with coffee, creamer, half and half, a scoop of peanut butter/hazelnut spread, one banana, and 7 ice cubes to take after work to my next job. DAY THREE I made a smoothie with banana almond milk protein powder and frozen fruit for breakfast. I OVER filled it (lol) and jammed the blades so it took a lot of shaking and restarting the cycle to get it to blend completely. At this point the yellow recharge light came on and I recharged it.
It's definitely strong enough to deal with ice and frozen fruit and lasts longer than one smoothie. if yours isn’t, I would contact ninja and talk to them about it.
Definitely recommended! I'm thinking about ordering the pink one too, pink and purple are my favorite colors lol and then I could have a lunch AND dinner smoothie ready. My only concern is if this is fridge safe. If I prepped a smoothie I'd definitely want to keep it in a fridge or even the freezer to keep it from going bad, but since the base is not removable from the cup I'm not sure it can be stored in the fridge safely.

This product was amazing. It is the best product I’ve purchased on Amazon thus far!!! it’s a portable blender and it Works in 30 seconds!!! Can you believe it?!!!!😍🥰🥰🥰
You’ll have to keep it on charger for about 25 to 30 minutes and then it’s ready to go for at least two whole smoothie sessions!!!! Definitely worth the value. If anything it’s worth more!!! It’s very easy to clean, but keep in mind that you cannot put the base underwater!!! Very easy to use. Instructions are clear!!! It is a very good size for a personal smoothie and a little more!!!! This Blender BLENDS AMAZINGLY DOWN TO THE VERY TINIEST PIECE SO IT’S A SMOOTH YUMMY SMOOTHIE🤗🌸🌸🌸 BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT✨🥰
