This Ninja system is so much more than a blender!  It makes exceptional smoothies, is an excellent food processor, and is great for making dough.  Ninja has made their most capable and versatile blending system yet!  I love the preset one-touch settings and it saves me a lot of time to be able to do something else while the program is running.  The attachments are very well thought out and function very well.  The only complaint I have whatsoever is that the pour spout on the blender lid is kind of hard to snap open, but maybe it's just new and it will loosen up?  Other than that the design is pretty much perfect.
