I wanted to really love this and was super excited about it. I especially loved that you can have just one base with a blender and food processor to save on storage space. The reviews were also great. The single serve blender made really good (grainy) smoothies. My problems really started when I tried to make hummus. No matter how long I blended in the food processor I just could not get a smooth texture. I also tried to make tahini in the food processor and the machine just would not chop the seeds. I let it run for about 10 minutes and still had seeds in tact. I would make tahini with my old mini cuisinart food processor (I was planning on replacing that with this ninja system) and the cuisinart chopped those seeds right up in 2 minutes. Another reason why I was not happy with my purchase was there is no entry hole in the top of the food processor for adding liquids. So if you like to emulsify, you can't do it with this. I did see other models of the ninja system that do have the hole in the top of the food processor, but please be aware that this one does not have that. I gave 3 starts because this product is nicely built, great price and does the job for smoothies, but if you are wanting a super smooth texture, emulsify or add through the lid as you process, you can't do it with this. I ended up returning it and am going to stick with a traditional food processor and blender.
