I was going between the smoothie cups or getting the food processor as well. This was the perfect information for me, thank you!

[@KitchenDraft]

My pleasure and thanks for watching🙏🏻

[@CristinaDan-y6o]

Radu, iti multumesc mult pentru review . M-ai ajutat mult

[@KitchenDraft]

Ma bucur ❤️

[@tamsynmahoney-steel3292]

Thanks for this review. My husband bought it for me a Christmas present and I'm not unpacking it until we move. I'm glad to hear it holds up well and can cope with nuts!

[@KitchenDraft]

What a great present!🎅 I really hope that you find it useful for your needs, mine is still going strong.👨‍🍳

[@wemcal]

Great video and wonderful machines… been using kitchen ninja products over 12 years… great video

[@KitchenDraft]

Good value for money I would say, happy with my blender, I don't know too much about the rest of the equipment to be fair.

[@NazishSQazi]

Great review! I've been looking for the right mid-range machine for making ice cream from frozen fruits, nut milks and veg smoothies as well as cakes/pastries. So this has really helped me decide and I am going to order the Ninja processor set. Thanks so much!

[@KitchenDraft]

My pleasure. I am glad to hear this. Thanks for watching and I really hope that it will serve you well. Mine is still going strong 👌

[@abcxyz-cx4mr]

Really looking forward to watch this video as I just bought this ☺️

[@KitchenDraft]

Great to hear this, welcome in the Ninja Club😁

[@stephdaisy20]

Pretty good review. Thank you!

[@KitchenDraft]

Thanks Stephanie! Have you considered buying one of these?

[@stephdaisy20]

@@KitchenDraft For sure!

[@KitchenDraft]

Great piece of kit so far and for home cooking it does the job. Maybe now with Black Friday you find a really good price. Btw, if you decide to buy it, please use the Amazon affiliate link from the description of the video, it costs you nothing extra. Have a great evening!😁

[@salimakola]

Thank you for the review

[@KitchenDraft]

Glad you find it helpful 😊

[@jilldigwood4328]

Thanks for the review, good to know you are still pleased with it, I have just bought one. Which setting do you use for making the almond butter, a set one or manual? I imagine the manual, thanks

[@KitchenDraft]

Hi Jill, thanks for stopping by and for watching my video! I use the manual speed on high, it will take up to 10min depending on how smooth you want your butter to be.👍

[@jilldigwood4328]

@@KitchenDraft ok thanks, that's really helpful. Have a great day 😊

[@BrandsWeLove]

IMO a design flaw caused a tiny piece to break off a lid and I cannot replace it, so I can no longer use the product.

[@KitchenDraft]

Oh nooo! Maybe try contacting the support team and see what they say about replacing your Ninja. Is it still in warranty?

[@pipahlalah8711]

Thank you👍🏼

[@KitchenDraft]

Any time 😊

[@marNL1970]

Thank you for the Ninja BN800 video's. Interested to buy one. No issues with loading ice cubes into both the large and smaller "single portion" jugs?? The manual warns not to load ice cubes in them.

[@KitchenDraft]

Thanks for watching and stopping by for a chat! I can't say that I do a lot of ice in particular with it but I do make smoothies with frozen fruits without any issues. The ice or frozen ingredients will harm the blades in time, that's for sure, but for the time being I have no issues. 😁

[@coolerkin]

Have you used the single serve for grinding?? Pepper corns and dried spices etc

[@KitchenDraft]

I've never used it specifically for spices, to be fair I think for that there are better tools than this out there. It would work, but you need quite a lot of spices in order to get enough traction on the blades, if this makes sense 😁

[@Miguel-ve1lh]

Need a replacement motor for this unit, do you know if the bn750 are compatible with the bn800?

[@KitchenDraft]

These look very similar, but to be fair I am not sure. I sould email them to know exactly: support.ninjakitchen.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360013766880-Contact-Us

[@ix-sustenance-xi3234]

Hi, I’ve tried making a milkshake but turn into soup .. do you know the right ratio for it please and have you tried making a milkshake??

[@KitchenDraft]

Yes, I make milkshakes quite often, but it all depends on what you are using in terms of ingredients. I would say that you need 60% fruit and 40% milk, but again depending on how much water content your fruits have this will influence your end results. I would sugest starting with less liquid and if the consistency doesn't feel righ, just add more in the process. This way you can form a recipe of your own, the way you like it, because what is watery to me might not be to you and otherwise. I hope this helps, let me know in case you need more help.👨‍🍳 Have a great day!👌

[@tempacc9589]

The plastic base gear of mine seems to have burnt through and partially broke off after about a year. Luckily still had warranty but these things aren't made to last. The fabulous claims about the durability of the plastic is nothing more than a pipe dream.

[@KitchenDraft]

I am sure that these things can happen but mine is still going strong 😁 and especially at this price I can't complain

[@FourFeathersTarot]

Mine wouldn’t turn after a years use. Just out of warranty. Waste of money tbh. Glad yours is still going strong

[@54roooo29]

Is it good for daily use cooking ? I watched both reviews the first one you mentioned that it is not for heavy use so I am rethinking buying it 😓 and if you tried grinding spices would be helpful if you inform me how it worked 🙈

[@KitchenDraft]

Hi, thank you for your questions. In my opinion this is not suitable for spices because when you grind spices you usually do it in smaller amounts with very high speed. When it comes to every day use, this might not be the best option (mine still works fine but I only use it about 3 times a week) Now what you need to factor in is the price, at this price you might not find something better. A professional blender will cost you more than £500 but if you have the budget, I would go for something like that, if the plan is to use it a bit more heavily.

[@bsvensk]

Would it be good for making hummus?

[@KitchenDraft]

Absolutely, I've used it for hummus previously and it works perfectly 👌

[@Teaselpoppy]

And now ? Please could you update. Thank you

[@KitchenDraft]

Still going strong, no issues so far ✅

[@kwartengportia592]

Please can someone answer me of the price I have been asking it many times

[@KitchenDraft]

Links with latest prices in the description of the video. Thanks 🙂

[@KitchenDraft]

Check the affiliate links down below: Amazon UK: amzn.to/3nrHdPR Amazon US: - 1400W amzn.to/3FBdslW - 1500W amzn.to/3I4KADX For Amazon US I could not find the exact match (my understanding is that BN800UK is solely made for The UK) but there are some Ninja options pretty similar and at a really good price at the time when the video was posted.

[@robertmalone4826]

Can you put it in dishwasher?😊

[@KitchenDraft]

Yep, all good with the dishwasher 🤠

[@RandomVibes505]

Hi are you still happy with your product ? Is still working ?

[@KitchenDraft]

Sure it is,I just use it in one of my video recipes about 2 weeks ago. Still going strong😁

[@aswitnessedbythelenses963]

can it be used for micning?

[@KitchenDraft]

Sure you can, depending on what you want to mince 🙂

[@fastlanenigeria]

Anyone knows if the US jugs/pitchers will fit in this?

[@KitchenDraft]

No idea to be honest, it might help sending an email to Ninja directly. 😊

[@mauritiusodkuchni7137]

I am missing one thing there.... whipping cream ... I have tried twice and both times I made butter instead of whipped cream ... I don't know how to adjust power as in low mode is still too much 😕

[@KitchenDraft]

There is a problem here... For whipped cream you would need a whisk to get it where you want it to be. This machine is not suitable for this kind of job really. I would suggest using a hand mixer or if you want to go a lot cheaper, a normal balloon whisk will do,just add your cream to a bowl and do this by hand (it sounds complicated but it's not) this way you control the cream thickness a lot better.

[@mcm740]

When i was young your mother threw out the blender that was 15 years old because she got tire of the color. Same thing with the fridge. Today 5 months is a nilestone. Ugh

[@KitchenDraft]

Yeh, I guess the standards have changed, but it comes a lot to how much care you'll take of it. Also it's worth saying that this is not a heavy duty machine (mine is still fine after more than a year), you can get something like Robot Coupe or Thermonix and these will last a huge amount of time in harsh conditions, it all comes to how much money you want to spend on it.

[@MissJJ95]

Are you allowed to put hot liquids in? I just bought it and want to make soup with it 😊

[@KitchenDraft]

Hi Jasmin, Thank you for watching my video! I have made multiple pots of soup since I've bought this and I had no issues. Maybe consider leaving the soup to cool down slightly before blending, this should help protecting the seal rings long term (in my opinion) :)

[@MissJJ95]

@@KitchenDraft Thank you so much! Your review was very helpful :)

[@KitchenDraft]

Oooh thanks, I really appreciate it. I am still happy with the purchase so far! Hopefully you will find this blender useful too!👨‍🍳

[@guillermone1]

5 months is not long enough to justify an evaluation. The old fashion blenders lasted for ever. This type with all the plastic components will be good and last for just 2-3 years after that we will begin to notice a reduced quality performance.

[@KitchenDraft]

You might be right, but what better alternatives do you have right now at this price? I can tell you that Thermomix makes 10 times better blenders than this, but it also costs 10 times more. Thanks for watching 😁

[@donperry6401]

I still have a kenwood blender that i purchased in 2004 and it also has plastic parts and is still going strong. Since it was white it has yellowed over the years and i am looking at buying one of these ninjas to replace it. Thanks for the review :)

[@KitchenDraft]

@donperry6401 totally, it's how you look after it too. Thanks for watching 🙂

[@hibiscusrose6074]

Can you make ice cream with it?

[@KitchenDraft]

Hi, it doesn't have freezing capabilities. But if you need to turn something into a purée before making the ice cream, that would work. This is not designed to make ice cream from beginning to end.
