Ninja Blender with 2 Automatic Programs: Blend & Max Blend, Pulse Setting, 1x 700ml Cup with Spout Lid, 1000W, Dishwasher Safe Parts, Smoothie Maker, Auto-iQ, Black BN495UK

So I've been using this product for over a week now, and honestly, I’m really impressed. I mainly got it for smoothies, but it’s turned into a bit of a kitchen staple.The 1000W motor is no joke—it powers through frozen fruit, ice, nuts, and seeds without a problem. The "Blend" and "Max Blend" Auto-iQ programs are really handy too. I just press a button, and it cycles through different speeds and pulses to get everything smooth without me standing there guessing how long to blend. It feels very plug-and-play.The two 700ml cups are a great size for single servings, and the spout lids are perfect for taking drinks on the go. Everything feels well-made and sturdy, and the cups and lids go straight in the dishwasher, which saves time on cleanup. Big win.It’s also surprisingly compact – doesn’t take up much counter space, and fits easily in my cupboard when I’m not using it.My only slight complaint is that it can get a little loud when blending hard ingredients, but that’s kind of expected with this level of power.Overall, this blender does exactly what I need it to do. Great value for the price. Highly recommend if you’re into smoothies, protein shakes, or quick blends without the hassle.

I first bought the Ninja blender, approximately 10 years ago and it’s been used daily. I didn’t realise just how long ago I bought it until the motor started to get really noisy and eventually it stopped working all together. The only draw back with my original ninja was the cumbersome lid, I have really small hands and had many a fiasco with my smoothie contents spilling everywhere, due the lid becoming loose during operation.Nevertheless, I had to purchase a replacement quickly, still very competitively priced on Amazon and the best smoothie blender on the market, in my opinion. I was really pleased to see the lid design has improved, so much easier to ensure no more loose lid fiascos!! I probably use mine at least twice a day, for wholesome smoothies, humous, guacamole and a variety of delicious soups and dips for the family. It blends so incredibly well, so you get the full impact of flavours. Raw vegetables and nuts, blend effortlessly too…Fingers crossed it lasts as long as my previous model 😄

This Ninja Blender, like many Ninja products, is amazing.You get 2 large bottles (with lids) to put your ingredients in, and when finished you can drink straight from the bottle due to the lids having an opening to drink from.The main unit is nice and heavy, and doesn't take up much room. The small display at the front is nice and easy to read, and understand. You have Start/Stop - for manual blending, Blend, Pulse, and my favourite - Max Blend - which will auto blend your ingredients for around 70 seconds, and this really blends the ingredients which is especially good for tougher fruit/veg that might need that extra blending. Also good for those powder shakes that are slightly gritty.One minor issue, and might annoy some, is definitely the noise levels. This sounds like you are drilling into your walls, it's that loud. You get used to it. But that initial morning blending, if you're not quite fully awake at the time, you will definitely be awake after this thing starts up.Easy to use. Just pop your fruit/veg/ingredients in the bottle, tighten the lid with the blades on it, it has a nice sort of rubber texture to it, so it tightens nice and tight. You then turn it upside down, line-up the plastic lugs with the area on the base unit, then twist until locked. This is a nice feature of this unit because, if the bottle isn't fully twisted, it won't come on. So you know there is little chance of an accident, and food going everywhere.Overall, brilliant blender, I love it.

The Ninja Blender with 2 Automatic Programs has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. The motor is powerful enough to handle anything I throw at it, from frozen fruits to tough veggies, and it blends everything smoothly in seconds. The two automatic programs are really convenient – I just press a button, and it does all the work, adjusting the blending speed and time perfectly for smoothies and drinks.Cleanup is simple too, as the parts are dishwasher-safe, which is a huge time-saver. The compact design doesn’t take up much counter space, and it looks sleek. Overall, it’s a high-quality blender that’s easy to use, powerful, and versatile.If you’re looking for a blender that’s great for daily smoothies and more, this Ninja model is an excellent choice! Highly recommend for anyone who wants reliable performance without the fuss.

I’ve been a long term user of the other major brand of blenders but this one seems better made, more solid and effective and is actually a little quieter. I am hopeful this one will last longer than a year or two of the ‘other brand.’ Quite easy to clean and blends well and intelligently. Good value for money, I would say.
