    Lasted 1 year until the bottom of the big blender container cracked and started leaking.
    1 reply from SharkNinja Product Expert team - 5 days ago

Please feel free to reach out to our customer support team at 1-800-365-0135, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET, and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. Warm Regards, Ninja Kitchen

    It’s super powerful—smoothies come out perfectly s

    I’ve been using the Ninja Kitchen System with Auto-iQ Boost for a bit now, and I’m honestly impressed. It’s super powerful—smoothies come out perfectly smooth, even with frozen fruit and ice. I really like the Auto-iQ Boost feature because it does the work for you with preset programs, so you don’t have to guess how long to blend or process. The different attachments make it really versatile too. I’ve used it for smoothies, sauces, and even dough, and it handles everything without struggling. Cleanup is easy, which is a big plus for me, and it doesn’t take up as much space as I expected. Overall, it feels sturdy, works fast, and actually makes kitchen prep easier. Definitely a great option if you want one machine that can do a little bit of everything.

    Great smoothie maker

    I had a ninja blender since at least 2012 and I use it hard. I have a smoothie every morning for breakfast so when mine died from old age last week I had to get a new one ASAP. I decided on this one and I'm so glad I did. it's a definite upgrade from my old model and works so well.

    Amazing

    My favorite blender. I was recommended by my sisters to get this ninja blender because they said it’s very good. The power on this blender is impressive it crushes ice, frozen fruit, and tough ingredients in just a few seconds. Smoothies come out completely blended with no chunks, and it handles thicker recipes like protein shakes or frozen drinks.
