Ninja QB1004 Blender/Food Processor with 450-Watt Base, 48oz Pitcher, 16oz Chopper Bowl, and 40oz Processor Bowl for Shakes, Smoothies, and Meal Prep,Black

Important to note: My comments are in the context of having been a Vitamix user for over 20 years. We bought the Ninja because we were looking for something to replace our Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus. We were attracted to the Ninja because the reviews said it turned out more consistent results compared to others. We also noted that people warned about how quickly it could turn ingredients from chunks to mush. Both are very true. What we love about the Ninja is that it's super light, and easy to assemble and clean. It's also very quiet compared to other machines. And, the bases are super stable--no traveling across the counter as our Vitamix wants to do sometimes. What's remarkable is how quickly the Ninja breaks down ingredients. We've been going crazy making nut butters, including peanut and pecan butters. That's where the Ninja totally shines in comparison to all other machines (and we've used them all, from the Vitamix and Cuisinart to others!). Quiet, effective, and speedy are the three words to describe the Ninja. We also made raw cranberry relish (raw cranberries, apples, whole oranges, and dates) that the Ninja zipped out in seconds. It's true that the Ninja won't turn out the kind of silky smooth cream soups that the Vitamix will, but if the Vitamix earns an A+ in this use case, the Ninja earns an A-. You also can't beat the price: Less than 10% of the cost for a Vitamix. Do the math. It's a simple equation if you don't absolutely need silky smooth textures. And there's no comparison with the Cuisinart Mini-Prep, which we found to be noisy, OK for salsa and courser chopping, but not great at nut butters. For the easy of use, what it produces, quietness, and price, the Ninja can't be beat.

This is a great little blender/processor. I needed a processor to make Mexican Corn Cake but I didn’t want to spend too much as I don’t have many uses to have a big one taking up space all the time. I got this one for $39. This set does not take up a ton of room and is very versatile. You can customize the blades in the small container as well as the pitcher. All of the plastic is nice and thick; there are no cheap feeling pieces in this set. I’ve also made smoothies with it and it crushed ice and frozen fruit with zero issues. I love that it is all dishwasher safe too, saves time on cleanup. Be careful during assembly because when they say those blades are sharp they are NOT joking! I didn’t even know I touched one of the blades when I was putting it together and I must have cut myself! So try to pick the blade part up by the stem. It’s loud like any other blender, but not obnoxious. You’ll definitely hear it in the other room, but it’s a blender so I would think most are going to be loud unless you have a vacuum sealed professional blender.

This is a great kitchen tool and does so much. I like the 3 pieces that can do different functions. I liked the older style with the "push down to activate" function, better. Very powerful and does everything needed. The price was a great value. I hope the carafes hold up better than the old style, though.

Don't second guess this, especially for the price! Just buy it. This unit replaced my old bulky kitchen aide food processor and my old bulky vitamix. Absolutely LOVE this addition to my kitchen. We use it to crush ice for margaritas, dice up veggies and onions for meals, and make smoothies. It's Fast and easy to operate. I have a tiny kitchen with not a lot of cabinet space and it fits perfectly. Thank you Ninja!

Best food processor I ever owned!! With some hand and wrist arthritis, it is hard to unscrew lids or to pry open most other machines. THIS ONE has Very Easy Lids that lift up to take apart, but also stay very secure with no leakage when i gently press the covers down before i operate the machine. The motor is on the top of the machine, and the blades come out to easily rinse them after use. This leaves a 3 pitchers with NO blade on the bottom of it (like most blenders), so you can just wash the pitchers out with no fear of cutting your fingers on super sharp blades! This machine saves time because it chops super fast.

Really good !!! Note: Before using this product use 230-120v AC supply converter.

The food processor chops like crazy im always tempted to just toss in garlic instead of using a knife. Initially got this for my son to use as a blender. I ended up testing it before him. PROS: easy to use. I like that the motor is up top, no risk of anything spilling on it. Changing it from blender to processor is easy too. The blender pitcher is nice, and has an opening if you wanna pour liquids in, or to use as a spout for pouring. The food processor container has measurements which makes life easier. They’re both plastic but seems high quality (we'll see i guess). I use the food processor to make cauliflower rice and all it takes is 5 pulses to get the right consistency. However since the container is small, a head of cauli takes about 6 trips to rice-ify the whole thing. It also comes with 2 lids for each container, which i thought was a nice addition CONS: when you remove the motor top, it flips to one side or rolls cause it’s round. Wish it can stand on it’s own. I dont think you can use it for thick blending, i tried blending some really soft potatoes i cut into small pieces to make into mashed potatoes and the motor ran hot. I got scared, didnt wanna break it, so i stopped lol. The food processor container is also small but maybe all processors are like that? All in all i’m happy with it. I also got it for $58 so pricepoint-wise it’s also good. I hope it lasts a while!

Ninja é uma ótima marca. Ótimo custo X benefício comprando pela Amazon direto dos EUA

I have had this machine for several years, given one to my daughter, and feel it is the best machine n the market and a great price. I really like the motor in the top as this makes it So much easier to clean and care for. I use it mostly for smoothies where the fruit often comes in a frozen package. The Nija chews right through. Very tough, dependable and I'd recommend to anyone to put it up against your machines which are two and three times expensive.
