Ninja Blender with 2 Automatic Programs: Blend & Max Blend, Pulse Setting, 2x 700ml Cups with Spout Lids, 1000W, Dishwasher Safe Parts, Smoothie Maker, Auto-iQ, Black BN495UK

So I've been using this product for over a week now, and honestly, I’m really impressed. I mainly got it for smoothies, but it’s turned into a bit of a kitchen staple. The 1000W motor is no joke—it powers through frozen fruit, ice, nuts, and seeds without a problem. The "Blend" and "Max Blend" Auto-iQ programs are really handy too. I just press a button, and it cycles through different speeds and pulses to get everything smooth without me standing there guessing how long to blend. It feels very plug-and-play. The two 700ml cups are a great size for single servings, and the spout lids are perfect for taking drinks on the go. Everything feels well-made and sturdy, and the cups and lids go straight in the dishwasher, which saves time on cleanup. Big win. It’s also surprisingly compact – doesn’t take up much counter space, and fits easily in my cupboard when I’m not using it. My only slight complaint is that it can get a little loud when blending hard ingredients, but that’s kind of expected with this level of power. Overall, this blender does exactly what I need it to do. Great value for the price. Highly recommend if you’re into smoothies, protein shakes, or quick blends without the hassle.

This Ninja Blender, like many Ninja products, is amazing. You get 2 large bottles (with lids) to put your ingredients in, and when finished you can drink straight from the bottle due to the lids having an opening to drink from. The main unit is nice and heavy, and doesn't take up much room. The small display at the front is nice and easy to read, and understand. You have Start/Stop - for manual blending, Blend, Pulse, and my favourite - Max Blend - which will auto blend your ingredients for around 70 seconds, and this really blends the ingredients which is especially good for tougher fruit/veg that might need that extra blending. Also good for those powder shakes that are slightly gritty. One minor issue, and might annoy some, is definitely the noise levels. This sounds like you are drilling into your walls, it's that loud. You get used to it. But that initial morning blending, if you're not quite fully awake at the time, you will definitely be awake after this thing starts up. Easy to use. Just pop your fruit/veg/ingredients in the bottle, tighten the lid with the blades on it, it has a nice sort of rubber texture to it, so it tightens nice and tight. You then turn it upside down, line-up the plastic lugs with the area on the base unit, then twist until locked. This is a nice feature of this unit because, if the bottle isn't fully twisted, it won't come on. So you know there is little chance of an accident, and food going everywhere. Overall, brilliant blender, I love it.

I first bought the Ninja blender, approximately 10 years ago and it’s been used daily. I didn’t realise just how long ago I bought it until the motor started to get really noisy and eventually it stopped working all together. The only draw back with my original ninja was the cumbersome lid, I have really small hands and had many a fiasco with my smoothie contents spilling everywhere, due the lid becoming loose during operation. Nevertheless, I had to purchase a replacement quickly, still very competitively priced on Amazon and the best smoothie blender on the market, in my opinion. I was really pleased to see the lid design has improved, so much easier to ensure no more loose lid fiascos!! I probably use mine at least twice a day, for wholesome smoothies, humous, guacamole and a variety of delicious soups and dips for the family. It blends so incredibly well, so you get the full impact of flavours. Raw vegetables and nuts, blend effortlessly too…Fingers crossed it lasts as long as my previous model 😄

The Ninja Blender with 2 Automatic Programs has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. The motor is powerful enough to handle anything I throw at it, from frozen fruits to tough veggies, and it blends everything smoothly in seconds. The two automatic programs are really convenient – I just press a button, and it does all the work, adjusting the blending speed and time perfectly for smoothies and drinks. Cleanup is simple too, as the parts are dishwasher-safe, which is a huge time-saver. The compact design doesn’t take up much counter space, and it looks sleek. Overall, it’s a high-quality blender that’s easy to use, powerful, and versatile. If you’re looking for a blender that’s great for daily smoothies and more, this Ninja model is an excellent choice! Highly recommend for anyone who wants reliable performance without the fuss.

REASONS TO BUY + Modes for different tasks + Easy to clean + Countdown timer + Makes amazing smoothies + Comes with two cups and carry lids + Blitzed through ice and frozen spinach easily REASONS TO AVOID - Not the best for chunky spreads - Only one capacity - Noisy I got the Ninja blender after my previous blender stopped working after just 1 year of use. I have been using this blender for some time and here is my honest review. If you want something to make your morning smoothie even smoother, it’s a must-have. The Ninja Auto-IQ Blender is nearly 3kg. It’s not heavy, and I was able to store the base on top of my kitchen cupboards when I needed to clear some space. This is a bulkier base than some of the blenders I’ve used. This is justified by the power that’s packed into the base of the Ninja Auto-IQ. It has three programs to choose from, and each is useful for different tasks. It also has a display that indicates how much time is left on your chosen blend cycle, and this automatically lights up when you insert the blend cup into the base. When you press the Start button, it will set off a 60-second timer of continuous blending. The Pulse setting is fairly self-explanatory. Pressing it will blend your ingredients for as long as you hold the button down, and the display counts the number of seconds you blend for with each pulse. You can use this to shift more solid ingredients that may get stuck towards the blades of a normal blender. The Ninja Auto-IQ is a top notch blender for those who like a morning smoothie. Because the blender runs on preset cycles I really enjoyed how easy it was to turn the Ninja on and leave my drink to blend while I takle other tasks in the morning. This can really streamline your day and buy you a few minutes to get ready. The cup capacity is 700ml, and I found that it filled up very quickly when I added fruits and vegetables. The serving sizes are definitely suited for making a large smoothie for yourself, or a smaller glass for yourself and a friend or partner. Because of the drink lids, which can be easily attached to the cups and come included, you can take your drinks on the go as and when you wish. They’re very sturdy and didn’t spill even when I tipped them to the side, perfect for walking to the office or taking to the gym. If you want to blend something of larger capacity, this blender probably will not be your solution. The Ninja is very easy to clean. The base obviously doesn’t go in the dishwasher, but everything else can. Even if you do wash by hand, the blades on the blending attachment aren’t so fiddly that a good brush won’t dislodge any remaining greens or sauce. The blending cups do have ridges on the inside. I found that with thicker dips it was best to rinse immediately after use before giving them a proper clean. This way no remnants dried in these harder-to-reach spots. In conclusion, if you’re a smoothie lover looking for your next personal blender, I would certainly recommend this one! It’s super powerful and easy to use, and because of it’s settings you’re able to do other things while your drink is blending.

I use this for making smoothies (and will possibly occasionally also use for blending vegetables for soups at some point etc). But so far, I have only used this for making smoothies. I use the Auto-iQ blend function, which generates pulses of blending automatically for 45 seconds. The blender does move fractionally across the kitchen counter with each pulse burst from the blades It makes me wonderful smoothies without any mess and little noise. My typical ingredients are selected from a few of the following (and the Ninja does a great job blending them all with ease): Greek yoghurt (in every smoothie) Banana (in every smoothie for natural sugar and sweetness) Strawberry Raspberry Blueberry Tangerine or clementine satsuma or orange Pineapple Mango Kiwi Compared to my old blender, the Ninja is a whole lot quieter and so much easier to clean too. And it makes the smoothie without making any unnecessary mess. AND it so incredibly compact, taking relatively little space my kitchen counter. As an added bonus feature, you get these screw-on drinking lids that seal perfectly and do not leak So you can drink the smoothie direct from the blender jug without getting any drips on your clothes and without making a glass dirty. I no longer need a bib! How cool is that! For what you get, this is incredibly cheap and a great piece of kit to have in your kitchen. I thoroughly recommend it, if you are in the market for a blender/smoothie maker.

I’ve been a long term user of the other major brand of blenders but this one seems better made, more solid and effective and is actually a little quieter. I am hopeful this one will last longer than a year or two of the ‘other brand.’ Quite easy to clean and blends well and intelligently. Good value for money, I would say.

got this in the hope that i can lead a better and healthier lifestyle. i’ve been using this every day whether for me or my wife and kids. it’s changed a lot for us in the way we take out fruit and veg. we certainly go through a lot more of them. simple and easy to use. moreover easy to clean. size wise if not too bad and just stays on our countertop. i’m still experimenting on how the noise level. it is somewhat noisy so make sure to close your kitchen door before using in the early ours of the morning. Perhaps using more liquid may help dampen the sound level. Need to be careful in not overfilling the cup. otherwise leaking liquid may seap out and leak into the main module. would be great if there is a way to seal all holes within the well in which the cup sits in. all in all it’s of solid build and great to use. i have been with this brand ever since we got the ninja air fryer.
