Horrible and inconvenient -0 stars
One of the worst blenders out there! Barely works and it’s difficult to clean because nothing detaches except the lid and the blades are always “blocked” no matter how small you cut up the chunks. It doesn’t like frozen anything (even ice) and it takes way too long to get what a regular blender can do in half the time. Awful product ESPECIALLY for this price tag so I’m returning it ASAP. Huge waste of my time and money. I wish I could rate it even lower.

Dont waste your money.
I bought this to make smoothies. Charged it per the instructions and the next morning it was dead. Charged it again and it held its charge only a few hours. I reached out to Ninja, sent them my receipt as proof of purchase, then they stopped answering me. Don’t waste your money.

Excellent way to make frozen fruit protein smoothie on the go
Very light weight and durable. I use this to make protein smoothies everyday. It looks small but packs a punch. No ice is too much for this mighty blender and the best part, it’s value for money.

We love our blenders they are the perfect size to be able to take with us when we are on the go. The size of the cup fits perfectly in our hands. The battery life enables us to get at least 2 blends from the Ninja. The blending produces a nice consistency. My only compliment is that I wish there was a cap to put on the container so that the motor could be separated from the motor

If I hadn't thrown out the box, I would return it
If I hadn't thrown out the box, I would return this. First, you need to have arrows line up for it to work. Lining up the arrows takes more hand strength than I have and my hub had a hard time with it. I added a RTD protein shake and some peanut butter powder. You can tell by the sound it has very little power. I tapped the bottom of the unit to distribute the powder before I turned it on. The powder (I stayed below the max fill line) ended up clumped into the top. I ran it again, shaking the whole unit while it blended (and I use that turn loosely) and the powder was still caked into the lid and along the edges. I took a spatula and loosened the powder from the lid and the sides and ran it again, shaking the until while blending. AGAIN, powder caked into the lid. This time, I added a few ice cubes to see if they would knock the powder out of the lid. Nope, powder still there and because the machine is such a wimp, it took multiple tries to get the ice to break up. I finally gave up, put the mix into a shaker bottle - it did as much good if not better at blending. Now I'm off to find something that actually works. Save your money, don't buy this.

Hi there, Thank you for your detailed feedback on the Ninja Blast. We're sorry to hear about the difficulty with aligning the arrows and the blending performance, especially with powders. Your comments are important and will be shared with our product team. For best results, we recommend starting with liquid or yogurt to cover the blades, then adding fresh fruits, leafy greens, dry or sticky ingredients such as protein powders or nut butters, and finishing with ice or frozen items. This order can help reduce clumping and improve blending. You can view our full guide here: https://sharkninja.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#Hs000008nIdi/a/Hs000001Zi6D/qtFL7qrC0LngUTk7OH9EDaZc19XgPcaZ243aeNV80Ww Kind regards, Ninja Kitchen

Ninja Blast Max
I am in love with the Ninja Blast Max. I got it to make frozen margaritas. I tilt the Blast Max to get the blades spinning so the ice doesn't jam. Set it down and let the crush cycle run. PERFECT frozen margarita! Very fine blend of the ice.I also make my morning protein smoothie in it with crushed ice.

Great for on the go smoothies and morning rush
I love that this is portable and can go with me everywhere instead of using the big blender every time. As a teacher this works good for my morning rush. The blender blends wells with ice and frozen fruit with no problem and cleaning it is quick and easy. So far it’s good and I love this portable blender plus the color pink is cute and my style.

Love love love!
I absolutely love this. I was making a smoothie for one in my normal big blender. This small blender is also powerful. My smoothies come out perfect. This has made it so much easier. It’s perfect for a smoothie and you do not need to waste a cup. You can drink it straight from the blender. I also love that as long as it’s charged, you do not need to plug it into an outlet to use it. It’s travel friendly!

Great gift!
Gave it as a gift a month ago. They love it! They use it for fruit for the baby, sauces, and of course, smoothies.

Best Little Blender
I love this lil’ blender! I’ve used it almost every day since I bought it. It makes eating healthy on the go- easy peasy! I will fill it in the morning, and put frozen fruit and vegetables, protein powder and almond milk in, and let them thaw out for a couple hours and it all blends perfectly and smoothly. Nothing gets caught, and it stays charged for three or more days before I have to charge it again. The only downside is I dropped it, and the lid broke. The replacement lid was grey, not pink… that kind of ruined the appeal of it, but it still functions great and I will continue to use it! I love it and do recommend!

Not as happy with this model
I bought this model and the larger similar model blender. I love the bigger one that you can remove from the base to drink your smoothie. It blends everything very well from fruits to nuts. The smaller one is less efficient and I have to smash any nuts I include before I add them to the mix or they will not be blended into the mix very well. I also find that not being able to separate the motor from the drinking cup is awkward for me. I do like its size and that it is lighter. I would buy the larger model again but not the smaller one for these reasons.

Save your $!
I would NOT recommend!! It is awkward to carry around because the motor is still attached to the bottle. It also take forever to charge. Save your money and buy a Hamilton beach branch. I had one for years and it worked great.

Only ok...
Only ok. Good enough for mixing protein powder, but some powder and things like chia seeds stick to the sides. Handles frozen fruit ok. Nuts, on the other hand, it barely chops up at all. I don’t like that you can’t detach the container from the base to drink from it. Overall, I wish I’d went with something else.

Hi Robert, Thank you for your feedback on the Blast. We understand how frustrating this must be, especially when the blending performance didn’t meet your expectations. This isn’t our usual standard, and we’d appreciate the opportunity to help. The blending vessel is designed to detach from the base. To remove it, ensure the lid is securely in place, turn the blender upside down, and twist the motor base counterclockwise to detach it. If you’re still experiencing issues, please contact our Ninja Customer Service team at 1-800-365-0135, available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, and we’ll be happy to assist you further.
