Fill the jar more minor than the Max Fill line with water since it will overflow if you do. Remove the jar from the motor base after it has been cleaned. Rinse the jar, attachment, and lid under running water to clean them. Allow each piece to dry before putting them away ultimately. Ninja’s Brand Story

The Ninja Foodi Blender is having a moment right now. It’s one of the Foodi series’ flagship blenders.

Let’s get back to the Ninja Foodi blender now.
The Ninja HB152 is the only Ninja Glass Blender and the first of its kind in its class with a heating element.

- Only one year warranty
Ninja QB1004 Master Prep Professional Blender
It’s ideal for tiny kitchens that don’t have counter space for a full-size blender and food processor, but it can also handle everything from frozen blending to meal preparation. It comes with a 48-ounce pitcher for mixing beverages, a 40-ounce bowl for food processing tasks like salsa preparation and sauce making, and a 16-ounce chopper bowl for chopping vegetables. The bases of all of the containers are non-slip, ensuring that they won’t move around on the counter while in use. Two storage lids are provided, allowing food to be prepared ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until needed.
A 450-watt power pod sits on top of each container in this set, unlike blenders with a more significant motor base attached to the containers. A single large button activates and deactivates the power pod for simple pulsing and mixing.

It can mix frozen and fresh fruits, ice, and milk for milkshakes and cocktails, but it also has two 24-ounce cups that connect to form individual smoothies on busy mornings.
It has a 64-ounce processor bowl on top of that, which can be used to chop vegetables for salsa, produce purees, and knead up to 2 pounds of bread dough using the supplied dough blade.
The machine has five unique Auto-IQ pre-programmed settings for creating smoothies, crushed ice, fruit juice, chopped produce, and kneading dough. Settings for low, medium, and high speeds and pulsing are all available using the control panel.
- Very powerful
- Versatile accessories
- Easy to use and clean

Final Verdict
The Ninja BL660 Professional Countertop Blender is our top pick because it’s solid and flexible and can easily handle single servings or whole-pitcher batches. We recommend the Ninja Nutri Personal Blender with Auto-IQ for a compact smoothie maker that won’t take up much room.
What to Look for in Ninja Blenders
Power and Speeds
When comparing different blenders, one of the essential factors to consider is power. A powerful high-speed blender may have a capacity of 450 to 1600 watts. The average wattage of a tabletop blender is between 800 and 1200 watts, although if you want to freeze foods, nuts, seeds, and ice, you should aim for at least 1000 watts.
According to the report, White revealed that her Ninja blender has 1200 watts of power, comparable to that found in high-speed blenders like Vitamix models. She’s fine combining more demanding ingredients like granola and oats in her smoothies.
When purchasing a blenders, you should choose one with the appropriate power and speed. A strong blender can reach high speeds, measured by the container’s blade spinning around quickly. Choose a model with several speed settings rather than one with just one. Faster isn’t always better. You may control the blender speed as you go, allowing you to change it according to your own needs. Always begin with the slowest pace and gradually increase as needed.
Special Features
The most basic function is to grind food into a liquid. Kitchen features and accessories, on the other hand, can provide thrills, convenience, and efficiency to your cooking.
Smoothie bowls are a fantastic and healthy breakfast or snack, but they can be challenging to make. With a standard blender container, you must add a lot of liquid for the ingredients to combine, which affects the texture of a thick smoothie bowl. The smoothie bowl attachment helps you create the ideal surface of a smoothie bowl since you don’t have to use as much liquid. This feature may be worth considering if you make smoothies regularly.
Some features are variable speed control, pulse button, preset controls, and slicing or shredding capabilities. These features give you more freedom and power, which are helpful when making everything from salad dressings to ice cream.
Capacity
The Ninja Professional Blender comes with a 64- to 72-ounce container, depending on the model. Other models come with additional containers for smoothie bowls, individual cups, chopping bowls, and slicing and grating. The capacity of these smaller cups and jars varies from 12 ounces to 24 ounces.
Pick a model with a 12-ounce cup and a lid if you want to take your liquids with the move. A 72-ounce container is a smart option if you make large amounts at once.
Other Ninja models may be used with a variety of cups and containers. However, you should double-check.
Tamper
Some come with a tamper, while others are available as an optional, separately sold accessory. A tamper is a valuable tool for pushing stubborn fruit or vegetable chunks toward the blade in smoothies and smooth soups without removing the lid.
Glass vs. Plastic
Only a few Ninja models come with a glass jar, whereas the rest have a BPA-free plastic container. Depending on your demands and preferences, both materials have advantages and drawbacks. Glass jugs are heavier, but they don’t retain odors or stains as much as plastic ones. Another minor complaint: Blending hard items (like ice or nuts) at high speeds can scratch the interior surface of a plastic container, causing it to become hazy over time, but this shouldn’t have an impact on performance.
FAQs
Are Ninja blenders dishwasher safe?
Most Ninja blenders are dishwasher-safe for the most detachable parts (pitchers, cups, and lids). A pitcher for a heated blender (HB152) is an exception, as it has a built-in heating element that cannot be immersed in water and must therefore be hand-washed.
Where are Ninja blenders made?
Ninja blenders are made in the United States and shipped to China for assembly.
Are Ninja blender parts interchangeable?
Some attachments, such as glasses, lids, blades, and certain pitchers, are compatible with multiple blender models, while others can only be used with one. The Ninja Kitchen website provides a list of all available attachments, which will assist you in making the best decision for your needs.
