Amazing Smoothie Maker

I bought this Ninja mainly to make smoothies. It is the best kitchen appliance besides my Kitchen Aid mixer that I have ever bought and I have been an appliance purchaser for 50 years.

I ordered this blender mainly for smoothies as my 13 year old daughter is on a fresh fruit smoothie kick. I've used it for making homemade Hummus and the occasional Margarita. Love how this blender is so powerful, it makes several smoothies a day and is easy to cleanup. My daughter and I just love this blender.

This is by far the best blender out there. I bought my Vitamix 5200 almost 11 years ago and have used it faithfully ever since. My Vitamix is still going strong with no problems at all. I use it to make everything and I use it at least once a day. It seems expensive at first, but when you think about how long it lasts and how many cheaper blenders a person goes through in 11 years, this is a fantastic deal. The customer service at Vitamix is also very helpful with any questions or help.
I have made juice, smoothies, bulletproof coffee, pure, almond butter, peanut butter, soup, ice cream, hummus, almond milk, and more. Also, this is so easy to clean.  Best purchase ever and I highly recommend.

I just made another smoothie with the kitchen ninja, and wanted to write a review.  I have made hundreds of smoothies with this product and it works just as good now as the day we bought it. Very powerful little blender. A+ Product.

This blender is absolutely amazing. It blends everything really well and has gone above my expectations. I can also take it on the go if I haven't finished my smoothie.

This blender is amazing.  It is def powerful and can blend almost anything in a very short time.  I've made smoothies with ice in them and they handle ice better than any blender I've every used.  I've also used the food processor attachment and it worked like a breeze.  I have yet to use the dough blade but am pretty confident that it will deliver as promised.  The to-go tops for the single serve smoothie cups are amazing.  I can make a couple smoothies at a time, throw on the tops then store them in the fridge.  I have already recommended this blender to several people.

So I'm kind of obsessed with this blender ! I was skeptical about the power of it but it works great for my green smoothies. I prepackaged frozen fruits, greens, chia seeds and honey in mason jars (a weeks worth) and every night I take one out and put it in the fridge to thaw. All I do is add milk in the morning and use this blender and it comes out smooth and delicious. I hope the gasket holds up because I plan to use this everyday. It's my 4th day and so far so good. One thing to note, if you screw the adapter on too tight it can be a little bit of a struggle to get off but not too much of a problem. I was just more aware how tightly I fastened it

I have had my vitamix for just over 6 years. I use it every single day to make green smoothies in the morning. It works beautifully and makes any green as smooth as milk!  I was a raw foodist and still make many recipes with it for that. It makes raw cakes and whip cream,  if you blend for a couple minutes it will heat up soup. It's simply amazing what it can do and now I am even more in love with the company because my machine quit working on any other setting but high which is inconvenient and so I called vitamix and they were super helpful!! They sent me a shipping label and all I have to do I find a box and drop it off at ups. She also informed me to include the whole machine because their maintenance crew would look it over and replace any blades or other parts that weren't in perfect order. I'm sorry but this blender was one of the best investments I've ever made and when this one goes out I will definitely buy another one!  She also told me that when it finally does go out which I'm not expecting for at least 6 more years that I would get $100 credit if I traded in my old machine. It's just one of those things where you get what you pay for and for me this was worth every penny.  I make everything with it including smoothies, Ice cream, nut butters, whip cream (out of nuts it blends them that smooth). Coffe drinks, and the list goes on and on it does everything!!

This is a fantastic blender!  I have used it to make smoothies. It crushes ice, frozen fruits, etc. like nothing I have ever seen.  The  enclosed recipe book is wonderful!  Simple to use and clean.  Shipped and arrived as expected.

You get what you pay for I did a lot of research before dropping the $$ one this and have no regrets. This is an elite blender that pulverizes anything you put into it without having to constantly stop the blender and push the solids back down into the blade. It is excellent at making smoothies, and it makes some of the most unique soups I have ever had. If you buy the twister jar, you can easily make things such as nut butters and hummus. It is so easy to clean - you put a cup of hot water in it with a drop of dish soap and then run it for 10 seconds and rinse with cold water. Because of the convenience of blending and cleaning, not to mention the excellent taste of the recipes on the Blendtec website, I find myself using this blender much more than I anticipated, and I am definitely eating healthier because of it... Im pretty sure this will pay for itself in the long run.

I rarely review products, but the Vitamix 5200 has totally impressed me. I use this product daily to make smoothies consisting of an array of vegetables, coconut milk, and frozen fruit. Following the directions of the manufacturer, the Vitamix 5200 quickly blends all of the ingredients, producing a very smooth beverage. In the past, I used a Cusinart blender which struggled with the blending of the ingredients.  I highly recommend this product.

You will not be disapointed, smoothies come out great. Wave action prevent having to stop and stir it. Better than my $200 Kitchenaid and better than my Oster.

You will not be sorry!

My last three blenders were awful.  I was seriously debating getting a Vitamix or a Blendtec just to make my daily smoothie.  But I just couldn't justify spending that kind of money for just making smoothies...  I found this blender on sale at Sears for $10 and after reading reviews I figured it was worth a shot.  Well I bought it yesterday and have used it twice. The first smoothie was amazing!  Consistency was great!!  Also it wasn't that loud.  My Husband was playing video games, while I was blending, when I finished I handed him the smoothie.  He was like it's done already?!  He didn't even hear the blender running (might have been a little zoned into the game, but whatever!).  This morning I made another, although it didn't quite handle a frozen half banana, after I cut it up it chopped it up quickly! I'm not sure how this would handle normal sized ice cubes, but I have no doubt that it would handle the mini sized ice cubes...We vary rarely use ice cubes so not really a problem yet.  Also the cup is a little awkward to drink out of, but it is nice that it only leaves one thing to clean up rather than two cups.  The top is a little hard to get on and off - but obviously that is needed so it doesn't spill all over.  Clean up is RIDICULOUSLY easy!  I just add some soap and water to the cup, but the cover on, and blend it again.  Then rinse!

I also didn't experience the smelly-ness from the motor as other reviewers had mentioned.  I absolutely hate this smell, and was very surprised not to have to smell it!

Anyways if you are like me and looking for a smoothie maker, this is your blender!  I'm going to pick up another over lunch today so I can keep one at work, and another for a Christmas gift!

I was so excited to see my package on the porch (which came quickly!) that I had to immediately try it out. I decided to make a smoothie! WOW! This thing took frozen fruit, refrigerated fruits, ice, and yogurt and blended it in less than 6 seconds! I am very impressed and excited to try some more recipes out.

This is such an amazing product! We have had this for almost 2 years now, and it still works wonderful. I generally use the medium sized one to make smoothies while my mother uses the small one to grind up some meat and spices every once in a while. At this point, I think this might just be one of the best purchases I made on here. Though, I have to say that if you plan on adding vegetables to your smoothies then get something else because this won't do; for normal fruits, it will work just fine.
