I have no idea what I would do without my Ninja. I used to have one of those weak blenders that didn’t have the power to mix up ice cream. This machine does not disappoint! It chops, blends, grinds, grates – anything you need. I use mine to make smoothies, crush crackers for gram cracker crust, dice bread crumbs for meatballs, chop strawberries for jam. It can grind ice and frozen berries. It’s truly an awesome machine. I have the 1000 Watt Professional Ninja. It has 72-ounce capacity. Sharp blades, powerful motor. I’ve had it for years and it hasn’t failed me yet. If you have considered the Ninja, do not hesitate any longer!
