Ninja Professional Kitchen System 1200 Watts with Auto-iQ (BL685)

I decided to take a chance and purchase this on a treasure truck deal. I wanted to try and make juices more because it has two juicing blender cups you can take on the go. It has been so easy that I have been consistently making healthy juices each morning. It also comes with a big blender and a dough mixer, which I used once for cookie dough. It worked well. I speak more to the juicing cups though because that is what I use most often. Baby steps. Im sure I will use the other ones soon. Well worth it!

The Shark Ninja Professional Kitchen System has everything you need to aid you in the kitchen and the the job done efficiently, safely and quick!I’ve purchased many of the Ninja products over the years and this one has everything you could possibly use for basic kitchen tasks. It’s such a great value and all the individual pieces have been updated to make your task easy and quick. Easy tostore and just makes everything easier. I especially love the food processor, I’ve been wanting one for a while and a small detail but the base of the Ninja system has suction cups so it doesn’t move on the counter. A small detail but really helpful ;)

We have had a 3 HP Waring Pro blender for 11 years, so we have replaced the pitcher twice and the blades three times. We make at least 2 or 3 smoothies/Frappuccino’s every day…when our kids were still in the house that number easily doubled. My wife commented that the blender just really never looks clean anymore…she was right but I could not imagine parting with it. Amazon made it easier, a treasure truck alert to this blender made purchasing this ninja a no brainer — am I ever glad I did.Right off the bat I noticed that it was quieter than the Waring which would have helped a few years ago when our greyhound use to howl every time the blender was turned on.The most noticeable aspect of this blender is the dual blades. I quickly learned that allowed much colder, more icey drinks next is the lockable lid and base. No longer am I limited to one hand on lid and the other on the power control - this is great when you are in a hurry. All the attachments and cups are just icing on the cake. This blender is as versatile as any piece of kitchen equipment I have ever seen. Maybe the best part…it’s clean, and my wife is happy. My Waring went into retirement at our other home. I visit it like an old friend, appreciate the familiarity…but now wish it had a locking lid and base…soon I think my oldest son will have a new blender for his apartment and my wife will have “clean” blenders in both homes!One other tip, if you have never used Xanthan Gum (NOW Foods Xanthan Gum Powder, 6 Oz https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0014UH7J2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_HED1V6XR10BZD2AD8TE3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1), I encourage you to buy it now. This is the secret ingredient to make commercial quality frozen beverages. An 1/8th of teaspoon transforms icey okay smoothies to milk shake smooth.

Amazing!My boyfriend and I are always looking for new recipes to try and this blender opens the door to more possibilities. I love the variety of options: You want a smoothie? Just attach the 18oz cup and get to work. You want to make a Sorbet? Just attach the pitcher and get to work. Switching between them is also quick and easy. I love the design and the options that suit your every need (mix, puree, crush, blend).Everything works well and its all dishwasher safe!Would highly recommend.

My old blender stopped working and my daughter recommended the Shark Ninja Professional Kitchen System with Auto-iQ and Powerful Blending, with 64 oz. Food Processor. I love the blender part, it came with the 72oz, 24 oz and 18 oz blenders and my favorite part is the blades come out for easy cleaning. The food processor is really just another blender. Yeah it can make cookie dough but it doesn't slice the vegetables like my old food processor does. I would go with the Ninja Professional Countertop Blender with 1100-Watt Base, 72 Oz Total Crushing Pitcher and (2) 16 Oz Cups for Frozen Drinks and Smoothies (BL660), it has all the items I love about this blender and it is $50.00 cheaper.

I'd been using a much earlier version of a Ninja blender for a very long time, and it finally started to wear out on me. I purchased this one on a recommendation from a friend, and it is the BEST $250 I've spent in a long time. The fact that I was able to use the food processor for dinner last night and the NutriNinja for this morning's smoothie speaks to the versatility of this product! I never thought I'd be so obsessed with a blender, but here we are. Blends smoothly and thoroughly. EXCELLENT product, would highly recommend.

For 9 months we've been enjoying this system tremendously. It's powerful and does the job regardless of whether we're making smoothies, blending a cake mix, or making tasty adult drinks. A few days ago we realized that there was a leak because smoothie was showing up on the base. I filled the pitcher with water to verify that it was leaking and it wasn't leaking through the center piece. Apparently the pitcher cracked at the bottom which you'll see at the image around the 3 o'clock position. A call to customer service was a very good experience but what was unfortunate was being told the warranty covers the base, and nothing else. I had to pay to replace the pitcher we've had for only 9 months and still no idea of what caused the crack. We don't use it that often and we don't overload it. Fortunately, the rep offered a considerable discount on the replacement and gave me free shipping. Considering the investment we made on this thing, I didn't have any choice but to order a new pitcher which should arrive in 3 to 5 days. I probably still would have bought this blender if I'd known we'd have to pay for replacement parts but it would have been nice to know this going in and I wish the company made that more clear in their promotional materials.
