Review: Ninja Blast Portable Blender

[@HRHolm-bi6zu]

Bought one late last Dec (2023). One has to learn to work with it. Place liquids and softer, non-frozen ingredients in first. Harder vegetables and fruits like pineapples more toward the top, ditto for frozen fruits. Works better with fruits than vegetables. Cut ingredients into smaller-sized pieces as necessary. If a lot of nuts are in, the harder varieties may not blend-liquify completely. Now, the primary problem: battery power. Supposed to get around 10-12 30-second blends on a charge, per the instructions. Mine is now down to 4 to 5. This is a primary issue/complaint amongst those submitting reviews on sites such as Wal-Mart, and Target (where I bought mine). I'll use mine as long as I can nevertheless, but if/when I have to replace it, I will do so with a full AC-powered model. As with EVs, dependable long-lasting rechargeable batteries apparently just aren't 'there' yet, even with devices this comparatively small. Oh, and don't waste the battery on the suggested cleaning method, the device is easy enough to break down and wash by hand.

Great tips!

Margarita's on the beach, etc....Thank You Ninja Blast

[@deechaney21]

The lid is my most favorite part. Why can't everyone else get it right?!

[@dhblue431]

Used mine for the first time. Almond milk, bananas and frozen strawberries. Very good job. Blended better than I expected. Thank you for your post

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thank you for watching!

[@josephj6521]

I like that it’s small, easy to move around and portable. 👍

[@sodem2810]

Only just bought mine so I’ve not had a chance to try it yet. I quickly realised that the blade cover and bottom cover connect together to make an air tight small container. This could be quite handy.

[@TheAnonyy]

Does it have pass through. Meaning if no battery can i blend if it connect to USB?

[@Anastasia-M24]

I bought one recently off eBay (new), got delivered today! It came with a USB port protector (probably an upgraded version, not sure). Thanks for giving a tip on how to clean it! I plan to take it to the office as a backup when I have no time to order lunch (and didn't bring anything from home). I can blend a protein shake (bought a meal replacement shake to keep in the office as well).

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@jacobmackenzie2401]

Excellent review! All the salient information without any fluff. Keep up the good work 👍

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marioramirezcortez]

Es la mejor inversión que he hecho , la uso todos los días , después del gym la uso para la proteína con hielo , queda súper bien , 100 recomendable

[@melisastahl7950]

For cleaning I would think putting boiling water inside and then blend would get the blades cleaned good. Why do you need to submerge when it's the inside that needs cleaning not the outside?

[@JaeGemini]

Yes I received mine for a Christmas gift. And it don’t even have to be boiling. Just hot with a little soap. After about 30 seconds the inside be clean. Then I run it again with just hot water and keep changing the water until all the soap is out the blade area and it’s running clear

[@kylebet]

You can travel on an airplane with it. In carry they take it because of the blade. And you can’t check it because the lithium battery can’t be put in checked baggage. A solution would be to have a removal blade so you can check the blade and carry on the rest with the lithium battery

[@sherieglinsey5911]

Usually if the blade is under 4 Inches you can carry it onboard (I.e razor blades)

[@Vonalee06]

It’s a good idea but I would have preferred a cup version after blending it’s pretty weird to walk around with your blender while you’re drinking. Would I recommend this for the price probably not. Unless you want a small blender for your college student in a dorm! There ya go! They can make their margaritas

[@youllneverwalkalone1565]

Buy a separate cup mate easy 😂

[@bluerfoot]

if it is dead can you still blend if you plug it in?

[@Theresia66]

Good question, i wonder the same

[@bhavin8283]

I think they suppose to give one spare bottom lid for the bottle. Incase if you just want to carry bottle.

[@duncan8345]

Best review ever. Thank you💯👍🏾

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks so much! Cheers!

[@terrystockman]

Can you put oats in it

[@outsiide.hollywood]

CAN YOU LEAVE IT PLUGGED IN

[@timothythegreat6294]

i hold it angled slightly to ease weight on the motor

[@Izzyroofing]

How do you wash the blade? In the dishwasher for proper cleaning

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

You can’t put the base in the dishwasher. You have to hand wash the base with the blade. This is actually kind of annoying and it’s difficult to get in the tiny crevices effectively. Best thing to do is add soap and warm water to the blender and try and let it clean itself. Even so I do find these days I am using a brush to scrub out any remaining gunk.

[@dansmacuisine]

Got it on sale at 69,99$ (20,00$ off) at Costco today… in Québec. Ninja fan too 😊

[@65choco]

But... you can remove the jar for cleaning, right.??

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Yes.

[@leah19841]

The cup unscrews from the base for easy cleaning and to take cup without blender.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

You can not take the cup without the blender in this model. The new Blast Max, you can : amzn.to/3ZcelNn

[@LATIN1571]

Is This blender is loud ?

[@MehulPatelLXC]

Nope

[@lekay-g5d]

when I put it on it just lights up red but the purple light is on first and then when I push it to play the red button goes on the red light goes on

[@lauraharshaconley7550]

Can anyone speak to how loud this is for a person with sensory sensitivities? Also, I'm confused about how you clean the base & blades without getting them wet?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

It’s not as loud as a full size but I don’t have any kind of sensitivities so I may not be a good judge. Yes the cleaning can be a challenge. I find it’s easiest to add spam and water to the cup and run it. You may also like the new version, Blast Max which has a removable cup: amzn.to/3ZvStxN

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Erin.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

You are so welcome!

[@lesleyhidden2620]

Can you use it for hot/fairly hot food? I was thinking I could blend soup?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

It is recommended for smoothies, protein shakes and frozen drinks.

[@lesleyhidden2620]

@@ErinLawrenceTV ok thank you. ☺️

[@kMaxRx]

People shopping for a blender probably want to be able to hear the blender.

[@fortunatedad7695]

I was looking at this but because it was sold out, went with the Hamilton beach version. I must say im impressed as i can remove the jar from the base and use the included top and it was $40 CAD. I wish i went with the opened package from amazon and got it for $28.

[@Vonalee06]

Remove the jar from the base and the liquid goes all over the floor. That was my first experience I was so bummed out after that.

[@fjfjrfjfjr]

Thank you for this very well done video! 😀

[@s89khn.]

Is the blade removable?

[@Anastasia-M24]

no

[@satyapavankumar7027]

It is hard to clean. While cleaning water goes into charging port!!!

[@wellyftw]

It's not hard to clean.

[@timothythegreat6294]

i am inlove just got that one !!!!

[@saulrodriguez7258]

Thank you

[@NoOnionsUK]

Got mine today (UK) - the latest model has a rubber cover over the USB-C charging port.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@Anastasia-M24]

mine does too!

[@jvcex]

thanx for review

[@Natibkertv888]

Plastic container not good

[@fergie250769]

I bought a nutriblend with the same system....i did not know the base came along with you....heavey and stupid

[@hottiejmd1987]

Coffee and banana! 🤢

[@davidmeza3157]

Ninja's battery is horrible. After two weeks, I can't blend one protein shake. This is after fully charging the unit. Conducted research, and it is a common problem. Should've done it before purchasing the ninja.

[@paulnguyen6694]

I’m having the same issue. I’ve only been using it for less than 2 weeks

[@alphaomegastables]

Its not the battery...its your charger or cable...if not connected right, it won't fully charge. The Ninja is MUCH BETTER THAN THE BJ2!!

[@graftonbailey3307]

It's rubbish, bottle to small can't blend a banana

[@paulthomson139]

Almost bought one… thanks for saving me money… they look crap!!!

[@andreajenkins2545]

They are fabulous .
