Ninja BN701 Professional Plus Blender, 1400 Peak Watts, 3 Functions for Smoothies, Frozen Drinks & Ice Cream with Auto IQ, 72-oz.* Total Crushing Pitcher & Lid, Dark Grey

The Ninja BN751 Professional Plus DUO Blender reflects excellent design engineering and surprising build quality. It is loud under operation but so was the 20 year old 600 watt Cuisinart unit it will replace. I have used the large and small blender jars to make such things as frozen treats for my Ninja Creami and frozen adult beverages. Crushing ice is a key want and the BN751 delivers. Some reviewers have complained about the safety interlock mechanisms (and there are several) that keep the blender from operating … unless it is properly set up and assembled to do the job. For me, that is a huge plus that helps ensure I not only use the product in accordance with procedure, but that I do so SAFELY!!!I had been wanting to upgrade from my old unit for quite a while and am very happy I found the BN751 unit. It can not only replace the old Cuisinart but also the excellent Magic Bullet blender. So it would be difficult for me NOT to heartily recommend this product to anyone wanting a well designed blender made with solid and robust materials. Overall: 5 STARS

This has been one of our best kitchen appliance purchases. We use it to make our smoothies. It has different function buttons, one specifically for smoothies. It runs through the smoothie function quickly. The lid has an easy pour spout that you can open without taking off the whole lid. It fits nicely on the countertop without taking up too much counter space. Great design, plenty of room for ice, and no smoke level. Excellent value for the money. This is something we would definitely buy again.

I really don’t know everything that I can do with this kitchen prep model. I’ve basically used it for smoothies and that is all. I’m thinking i will try and make home made peanut butter and see if that will work. I will say that you CAN NOT put the pitcher in the dishwasher because the heat/dry cycle will melt the glue that keeps the bottom of the blade. I didn’t know this , and when i lifted it out and went to put it back onto my power base, the bottom piece that controls the blades fell off. There was still glue residue present on both the rotator and be part that controls the blades , I thought maybe if it dried it would seal it back together. No luck. So I had to invest in a replacement part. Seems like Ninja should use industrial strength glues to hold up in dishwashers. I didn’t see where it said it could not be put in the dishwasher. Expensive lesson. Otherwise it makes awesome smoothies.

Decided to start a smoothie journey and wanted something that would last. This does the trick and more with being a food processor, etc. Easy to follow instructions and love that it comes with options to make single cups instead of a whole pitcher!

This blender is seriously incredible! I've been using it almost daily for the past two months, whether it's for my morning smoothies or mixed drinks when friends are over, and it handles everything from frozen fruit to ice like a champ. Powerful, easy to clean, and super reliable. It also has a suction cup design to stay still on my counter which is so nice. It’s quickly become one of my favorite kitchen tools. Absolutely worth it!

My old blender was a daily disappointment. I’d cram in frozen fruit and spinach for my morning smoothie, say a little prayer, and end up with a lumpy, gritty concoction I had to chew. I was tired of it. I wanted something with uncompromising power, and after a month of daily use, this Ninja has completely transformed my routine. The build quality was impressive right out of the box. The motor base is hefty, with strong suction-cup feet that anchor it to the counter, and the pitcher locks into place with a satisfying, secure click. The "weapon" itself is an intimidating tower of blades that looks like it means business.And it does. My go-to green smoothie is packed with tough kale, frozen pineapple, and solid ice cubes. I was skeptical of the "Auto-iQ" button, figuring it was a gimmick, but it's genuinely the most brilliant feature. You press it once, walk away, and the blender intelligently pulses to break everything up before roaring to full speed. The result is a perfectly smooth, velvety drink every single time, with no grainy bits or leafy flecks left behind.But let's be clear about the trade-off, and it's a big one: this blender is breathtakingly loud. I am not exaggerating when I say it sounds like a jet engine is taking off on my counter for 60 seconds. My dog flees the room, and I have to give my partner a heads-up before I turn it on. The only other minor frustration is having to be extremely careful when hand-washing that very sharp blade assembly, but thankfully, the whole thing is dishwasher-safe.

This blender cuts through anything!! I literally put a few big rocks in this blender and it legit turned them to small pebbles and sand. I mostly use it for cutting up fruit to turn into smoothies but I tested it on rocks just to see how much power it really has and was blown away. It's light weight and fits perfectly on my shelving unit. It is easy to clean and smells fresh every time I make something. The plastic material used is the thick high quality kind not the cheap thin kind. I would buy this blender again and wish I could give it 10 stars instead of 5. If Ninja has any other items they want me to test, feel free to send them to me any time!

I’m really impressed with how good this product is. You can tell it’s made with care, and it does exactly what it promises. It also arrived earlier than expected. I’ve already told a few friends about it!
