Is the Ninja Professional Blender Any Good?

Oh yeah. It definitely is good. And I’ll tell you why. 

The key features of this blender include: a total crushing 72-ounce pitcher, a powerful 1100-watt motor base, 2 Nutri Ninja cups meaning you can do single-servings (plus they both come with a lid), and 3 speed options plus pulse.

What’s the Difference Between a Blender and a Food Processor?

Usually, blenders have a fixed blade, but that’s not the case with a Ninja blender! You can use the mighty 6-blade assembly to do way more than just make beverages. 

Use the Ninja Professional Blender to whip up dips, salsas, spreads, sauces, and more! 

We’ve answered the question of differences between a blender and a food processor in much more detail in another article for you as well!

Key Features of the Ninja Professional Countertop Blender

Okay, here we go. Let’s take that closer look I promised you.

Exciting, right?

72-Ounce Total Crushing Pitcher

72-ounces is a lot! This blender will make enough for the whole family, no one will be sad and left out when the smoothies are being passed around! (And for the times you don’t need a pitcherful, remember there’s always the single-serving option!)

The blade assembly fits well within the pitcher, so it won’t scratch it. Just be mindful of how you store them together (fitted, not loose).

The measurement markings are clear and easy-to-read. One side shows cups and ounces, the other shows liters and milliliters. 

It is made of durable BPA-free plastic, not glass that might shatter. It has a pour spout for easy distribution and the lid locks in place to stop messes.

1100-Watt Base plus Pro Extractor 6-Blade Assembly

Get ready for over a thousand watts of pulverizing power. With this motor, ice turns to snow in a matter of seconds. Other than ice-crushing, the pro-extractor blades break down fruits and veggies while keeping the nutrients in your drink. 

The three speed options are ready to handle any blending/pureeing/pulverizing job you can throw the Ninja’s way. This fancy food processing blender can even help you mix up a batch of fresh pesto for your next Italian food-inspired dinner party.

Nutri Ninja Cups

Two 16-ounce single-serving cups plus fitted lids are also included with your Ninja blender purchase. 

Question: What’s better than grabbing a smoothie to-go in the morning? 

Answer: Blending up just one smoothie in the morning and not having to wash a pitcher when you’re in a hurry!

The single-serving option has its own blade assembly, but it handles crushing ice — no problem!

User Impression for the BL660

I was blown away the first time I used my new countertop Ninja Blender. The sheer power of the motor and six blades is astounding.

I can easily puree cooked cauliflower to use as a cream substitute for my fitness-friendly dinners. Or whip up a zesty salsa of fresh tomato and onion to impress my guests. You can use the Professional Countertop Ninja to shred cabbage and chop onions.

Not to mention the frozen margaritas and daiquiris! Mmmm. Bringing new life and energy to every party at home. 

Where this product really shines? Those single-serving cups and lids! You can’t beat the convenience of whirling up a fantastic smoothie to-go in sheer seconds. Less clean-up, healthy, and oh-so-tasty.

Many of my friends ask “Is the Ninja Professional Blender loud?” 

In my opinion, no! But listen to it yourself in the video below when I demonstrate all three speeds (and pulse!) while making a recipe. 

Other users’ reviews on Amazon mention making their own homemade peanut butter. I am very curious and excited to test that out in my awesome Ninja blender as well.
