Blender has a fatal flaw
5/10/2012
Pros
Cons
Lacking metal drive gear
Best Uses
Comment:
Blender worked very well the first few times I used it but the plastic gear that is on the bottom of the head/motor slips. This piece should be made of steel. The blender would great if this flaw was addressed. My blender is now going in the garbage and I will hope for better luck with the next model.

Better food processor than blender

Cons

Comment:
I was surprised by the high rating this got. It may work great as a food processor, but I do not like it as a blender. It doesn't make smooth smoothies; there are often chunks of fruit left. I need to add twice the liquid to get a pourable smoothie as well. It doesn't handle ice well either. Probably a nice blender for pureeing things, but not great for liquifying. It's a pain to clean and can be downright dangerous -- the multi-part blade is hard to get clean and comes apart on you too. I don't like the motor on top feature -- it's messy and inconvenient. And pouring the smoothie out is tough -- the blade comes sliding out too. I don't recommend this for someone looking to make smoothies and shakes.

Comment:
We use the Ninja for smoothies, cheese grating, dressings, sauces and dips. For the money ([$] at [@]), this machine does a really good job. It completely crushes ice and frozen fruit which in my past experience, most machines do not do. My only complaint is that I would like to see the top control have 2-3 speeds on it rather than manual pulsing. However, it's not that big of an issue for my needs.
