Powerful Ninja NJ601AMZ Professional Blender - Crush Ice and Frozen Fruit in Seconds!

Lindsey shipman: This blender blends ice perfectly. It also is easy to set up, use, and break apart. I can use this blender for multiple use such as for smoothies and soups! Price is fair for the great quality.

Jim Oak Park: This is a powerful and effective blender. The 3 stacks of blade pairs make easy work for blending. I make a lot of shakes, and I can put 5 ounces of frozen blueberries or strawberries and 2 cups of milk, and I don't need to wait for the berries to thaw. I really like the pour spout with its cover. I take the pitcher to the table and pour out the shake, a bit at a time. The three speeds on this unit provide great options. My main and only objection is the significantly difficult to clean (contrary to Ninja's claim). The pitcher is easiest, although the cover of the pour spout needs close attention, as do all the different spaces inside the cover. The blades are EXTREMELY sharp, and you must be very careful when cleaning them. I use a sprayer, but if the blades stand for a while, a sponge will be needed. Even more challenging is cleaning the shaft that the sets of blades are on. There isn't much space between the 3 blade stacks, and it's easy to slice you finger on the blade above or below your hands. I puchased a bottle brush to do the job with my fingers safely at a distance. I still highly recommend this unit, with that one caution about safety cleaning the blade assembly.

geekygranny: I have been using it daily for 6 weeks exclusively for thick smoothies. I just shove vegetables in, no pre-cutting except for frozen chunks of ginger and turmeric. This has power (300 W more than anything else) and killer blades.
PROs: 1. Power, power. It does not need more than the 3 buttons it has. 2. Multiple safety features, very necessary. 3. Very sharp column of blades. 4. Easy to clean BUT see below, for why I down-rated it
CONs: 1. You must use a rubber spatula to force materials past the very sharp blade column in order to blend 2. If making very thick smoothies, as I do, a non-trivial amount of the product gets wasted sticking to the multiple blades and the lid. You have to be very, very careful getting this off and into your receptacle.
3. Once this is done, easy to put water at dish soap in and zap it to clean. I am sure you could do this without scraping off what sticks to the blades, but I do not like to waste my ingredients

Scott D. Espenschied: This will OBLITERATE whatever you put inside it, which is what I always want my blender to do. It's got a heft to it that feels really nice and wow does it blend. I am sure this is no secret to anyone. Ninja has made a good name for themselves in the blending space and they know it. I had just never taken the plunge on buying into it until now.

It was a bit of an adjustment to learn how to use it. But, after getting used to it I see that they put a lot of thought into the design and once I got used to working with it I really appreciated the attention to detail.

It's not the easiest to clean. The blades are really sharp. There are tight spaces around the lid that things get stuck in. But, you also want really sharp blades and I don't know how you solve tight spaces on something that needs to be nearly air tight. So, I'm assuming this is a universal blender problem.

The pouring design is really nice. That wasn't something I really thought about when purchasing it. But, it pours really great. You pop a little tab open on one corner of the lid and it pours out this perfectly designed thick glass spout. Then you can close the tab and keep your blend fresh and away...

Carolyn R. Ibis: I was looking for a blender to make smoothies, sauces, hummus, etc. This blender works like a charm! It easily crushes ices and other stuff. I find if it has trouble blending stuff, I just turn it off and use a spatula to push it off the side down into the bottom. Then start blending again. It seems to blend enough for me, although items like Chia seeds won't blend up too well because of the blade design. But I didn't notice them in my smoothie.

For cleaning the blade, I use a brush with a handle to clean it, to avoid getting cut. I also blend soapy water, and rinse, and repeat. I personally like that the blade comes out, it makes it easier to clean the blades and all of the pitcher.

Yes, water does indeed get into the handle, but it seems to dry over time.

As I have just purchased it, I can't say too much about durability, but we will see. I can see myself using it quite often. I am quite happy with this purchase, I didn't want a cheap one, but I didn't want to spend crazy money one also. A bit of a compromise.

noelle: I have a few things to say about this blender. First, i read many of the previous reviews and they were very helpful. I am glad I purchased this. Making my smoothies and almond milk has been easy, and this is hands down probably one of my favorite blenders I have owned. I did run into a problem. I have no idea what happened, but upon starting my blender a few nights ago, part of the blender, while in use, the container broke and splattered my smoothie all over. My husband and I just stood there confused. The motor works amazing, nothing is broken except for the actual blender cup. Amazon was stellar and when i called, they immediately sent out a replacement which i was not expecting at all.
As I said, I don't know why this happened but regardless, this is my go to blender for everything.

Fromthesouth: I bought this blender for a few reasons but mostly because I have wanted to try making smoothies and smoothie bowls at home as part of eating cleaner.
This is a SUPER powerful blender and I recommend caution when using (unplug to clean inside.
So far easy to set up, use and clean with dish soap and water by hand.
I was not impressed by the Ninja logo on the front because as soon as I went to take the tiny plastic cover off the logo the whole thing fell off. I just superglued it back and now it’s not going anywhere.
In the picture/video I made a super quick and easy mango smoothie bowl (~1.5 cups frozen mango chunks + ~150mL unsweetened almond milk + 1 tiny packet of sweetener).
I think blending larger quantities of smoothies will be easier because it gets stuck to the sides when first blending, so I had to turn it off, push the mango bits down and then use button 3 again for ~ 30 seconds.
Super easy and affordable compared to the Ninja Twisti which I really wanted but couldn’t bring myself to pay over 100 for a blender right now.
Overall recommend, it’s powerful and I like it!
