Why we believe in Ninja
We needed a blender. Nothing fancy, we just wanted to make smoothies. Unfortunately, the frozen fruits put a real load on the motors of the cheaper options. Ours was a SUPER cheap blender, one of us purchased for roughly $25. Once our smoothie kick started, the motor started leaking oil onto the counter. Doesn’t hurt the food, but yuck!
So we upgraded. This time, we spent $65 on a nicer one and a name-brand one. Done! Right?!
Wrong! It lasted a bit longer, but within roughly 90 days, oil spots appeared on the counter. This was so frustrating!! I hate wasting money. How to proceed? Next thing I know, a girl at work brought her Mom’s Ninja blender to a work party….for salsa making…I swear!
I was so impressed by it! I asked her a few questions, and she confirmed that her mom used it for smoothies and absolutely loves it. Sweet! So, of course, I told my Husband about it. After some research, we decided to order the 3-in-1 since I had also been considering buying a bigger food processor, but didn’t want to spend the money.
I remember thinking it was pretty pricey, so I hoped it was worth it! I’m really not a fan of overspending, especially for no reason.
I have zero regrets.
As of Today (January 19, 2025), we’ve owned the same one for almost 3 years and have had zero issues. At all. The base stays on the counter at all times for convenience, and we use this guy at least a couple of times a week for one thing or another.
Both my husband and I really love the product for its function and durability. Lastly, we invested in a Ninja Pressure cooker, knowing we could depend on the brand. Then last year we needed a couple of new pans. My Husband made a joke about “I wonder if Ninja makes frying pans?”…well, they do. As per usual, they didn’t disappoint.
Our only real issue with Ninja is that they don’t make everything that you need for your kitchen. We would definitely fill our kitchen, slowly but surely, full of everything Ninja! It’s a brand we know will put out great, durable products.
Readily Available on Amazon!
Check out the complete Kitchen System and pricing. Currently between $159 & $199, depending on whether you can find it when it’s on sale. The prices on these bad boys have really dropped over the years! I paid well over $200 in 2022.

The Base
The base is simple. We like simple. Some products seem to overcomplicate things to justify a price tag. That’s not the case here:
Power, Pulse, and four settings. Sweet and simple. There is Dough, Blend, Crush & Single Serve.
The footprint is reasonable as well. It measures roughly 7.5” x 9” on the counter.
It has a 1500W, 2 HP motor that will not struggle with ice and frozen foods, which is excellent after the struggles we had. You’ll LOVE this if smoothies are your thing.
I have now heard complaints about how the base sticks to the counter, sometimes making it hard to move. However, it has these handy little buttons on the bottom of both sides that release the suction, and voila!
Blender
The large pitcher holds up to 72 oz., easily disassembles for cleanup, and is dishwasher safe. It has a cool pour spout for say…..margaritas? The ultimate Adult Smoothie!
The blender attachment has multiple sets of blades running along its length. This is great for large soother portions, making plushies, or ice for snow cones. You can literally fill this guy with ice, and it will chop it up like it’s nothing.
Single-Serve Cup
The single-serving cups may be the part we use the most—these 16 oz. Cups are the perfect serving size for a vitamin-rich, protein shake in the morning or for a quick & healthy snack. And, of course, everything is dishwasher-safe.
You get 2 cups and lids that are great for drinking straight from the cup or for adding the large-diameter smoothie straws. We even purchased additional cups and lids so we never get in each other’s way when using them and don’t have to dig around for them in the dishwasher!
My Husband and I work different schedules during the week and often make smoothies as a healthy breakfast alternative. Being able to make just enough for ourselves is great. When using a blender, I always end up making too much, and that is so wasteful!
Food Processor
With its 8 Cup capacity, this food processor is likely more than you will ever need most of the time! And, of course, everything is dishwasher-safe. It comes with two blade assemblies: the main chopping blade and the dough blade.
I’m not a baker, not quite that cool, so I must admit that I have never used the dough blade. However, the choppy chop? I often use. This thing has a fantastic capacity, and I use it for dressings, dips, homemade cream cheese, and even oat balls for hiking. Trust me, those things will test any food processor.
