This blender is great, like all my Ninja products. I bought it for a friend and she has not stopped using it. She had been making lots of juices and has found it very easy to use and clean, she is very happy with th speed and power of the blender and I have tased some of the juices and they are smooth and tasty

I recently tried out this product and overall, I’m pretty satisfied. It does exactly what it claims to do, and it’s pretty straightforward to use. The quality feels decent, and it seems like it’ll last a while. Price-wise, it’s fair—not too expensive but not super cheap either, which makes sense for what you’re getting.One thing I really liked is how convenient it is; I didn’t have to spend too much time figuring it out. It worked well right out of the box. Of course, like anything, there’s always room for improvement, but nothing major stood out as a dealbreaker.If you’re on the fence about getting it, I’d say it’s worth a try. It’s a solid choice overall!

5 Stars – A Powerhouse for Smoothies and More!The Ninja BL610 has become an indispensable tool in my kitchen. Its 1000-watt motor effortlessly crushes ice and blends frozen fruits, delivering smooth and creamy results every time. The 72-ounce pitcher is perfect for preparing large batches, whether it’s morning smoothies or frozen margaritas for gatherings. Cleanup is a breeze with its dishwasher-safe components. While it’s a bit loud during operation, the performance more than makes up for it. For its price point, this blender offers exceptional value and reliability. Highly recommended!

This thing is powerful, we got it for our smoothies that a bullet just wasn't doing the trick for. This thing gets the smoothie perfectly smooth, and quickly. And it holds all that we could want to go in it. The pouring lid and locking functionality are plenty usable, so we're not fighting it.So far so great!

Just what I need, powerful while being effective. I use this to blend my herbs for my business and believe me everything turns to dust chiefs kiss 😚 it’s quite heavy hence you can tell it’s durable. Speed is immaculate I love love love.

I'm a healthcare professional and bought this after researching the competition (i.e., "Vita-Mix). After reading through a gazillion comments and reviews (including CR who rates the Ninja #2) I opted for the lower priced Ninja. I have used mine twice a day for the 6 weeks I have owned it, I use it for making smoothies. I blend for health, I have a morning fruit and berry smoothie and I have an afternoon veggie smoothie. Blending is a really convenient way to get in all your servings of fruit and veggies each day without removing the (very important) fiber. So far, I love my Ninja. I have had stuff made with a Vita Mix in the past, but have never done a side by side comparison, though I can think of a few differences that are meaningful for me. One, the Vita Mix generates heat. They use it as a selling feature, that you can use it to make soups, but I like my smoothies cold, so it's not something I look for in a blender. Secondly, Vita Mix seems to win in all the comparisons with Ninja on smoothness, or thoroughness of blending. The only reason I knocked one star off the Ninja is because I have noticed that my smoothies are a bit chewier after several weeks of blender use. I attribute that to the fact that Ninja relies (apparently) on their sharp blades, which naturally dull with use-especially when blending frozen berries or ice (which both of my smoothies contain). I've noticed a subtle change in texture, no chunks, but definitely not a fine blend. My understanding is that Vita Mix has dull blades that work for years, they do not rely so much on sharpness as they do on speed? The other thing (in addition to heat) that you get with a Vita Mix is aeration (foam), which I do not notice with the Ninja. My smoothies are full of fruit and veggies, so they are full of fiber. If you are okay with having some noticeable fiber in your blend over time, the Ninja is a great deal at about 1/5 the cost. If that matters to you, expect that you will have it in time (I started to notice it after about 25 blends). The blender cleans very easily and is simple to use. I've never had to remove the top to tamp stuff down and I use 3 cups of leafy greens like kale and arugula, as well as whole carrots, celery, apples, and never have chunks. Overall it's a great machine. I cannot rate longevity since I've only had it 6 weeks, but so far I'm very pleased.Update: It's January 2018, I owned the Ninja about 3 months and ended up getting a Vita Mix. I still stand by my original review, but there is a difference. The Ninja starts out pretty great, but then over time things do no blend as well. I drink 2 smoothies a day (one veggie, one fruit), so I use it a minimum of 2x a day. Over time I started calling my Ninja smoothies: "grainies." The blades start out very sharp, and the technology depends on that, but they dull with use and it shows in the results. The Vita Mix does not depend on blade sharpness, but power, it pummels everything to pieces (itty bitty pieces). I am amazed at the flour I can make with it. Also, the heat i mentioned is not a factor but a feature. Most things are blended in less than a minute (35 seconds often), so nothing really gets warm unless you leave it on in order to generate heat. The Ninja is a good blender, especially for the cost, but I don't think one can fairly compare it to a Vita Mix, it's like comparing apples and oranges.
