I heard of a Ninja Juicer, but not a blender. I have a Vitamix blender at home which I’m happy to have. It’s an excellent blender which will last me for many, many years.  :thumbsup:

I am so glad to hear that you like your blender. My husband and I bought our daughter the Ninja Blender that juices vegetables and fruits for Christmas, but she hasn't used it yet.  :(.  I can't wait for her to make me a trial smoothie with it.  :D

I have a Ninja!!!!!  ;D I bought it at Walgreens when I was working at a store and got it on clearance for 5 bucks! It's awesome I make smoothies all the time and I love it. It's so much easier to use and clean up than a blender and  it also came with a little food processor that works just as well

No, I've never heard of a Ninja blender. Sounds pretty powerful though. *Google's Ninja blender*

Yep I got one a few months ago and I love it. I have made butter, smoothies, peanut butter, whipped cream, ground beef, ground meat, cookie dough, yeast doughs, ice cubes into snow,  etc.. I make the peanut butter all the time now and I can add as much or as little sweetener as I want to make it healthier. I can't say enough good things about it.

I've never used one.  I've been sucked into the infomercial commercials late at night though and it seems intriguing.  I actually need a new blender.  The last time I used my old hand blender I pulled it and the chord more towards the right and locked up.  I was making butter-cream frosting.  So I thought I'd use my sister in laws to finish the job...the same thing happened to her blender.  My husband ended up mixing the frosting for me by hand and we were out extra $$$ having to purchase a new one for my sister-in-law.  I'm going to do a search on the Ninja Blender and check it out right now.  Everyone's comments in here has me more curious about it than before.

I'm not sure if by Ninja Blender you mean the Ninja juicer that blends, juices and processes food.

My mom likes to make juices and it guacamole and such, but as a food processer to chop foods I can't recommend if you want a coarse chop or anything. The blades are low and it is so powerful that it really just purees the food rather than chops it, even with short bursts. It says it can be used for dough making, but we haven't tried it for that so far.

She got hers at Bed Bath and Beyond for 64.99 after using a 20% off coupon. We got a 3 year warranty from Squaretrade for about 10.99 or so. (Squaretrade is great. I had two warranties I had to make good on and they refunded my money each time) Aside from the lack of food processing to get a more coarse or a better chopped up food I would say it's pretty good.
