I purchased the Oster 1200 plus to replace my ninja. Let me tell you, it's the best thing since "sliced bread" not that I didn't like my ninja, I just didn't like the plastic jar when I had to blend things that required extremely hot water. What I didn't expect was for the Oster to also out perform my ninja, everything I did with it just hands down out performed my ninja from smoothies to milkshakes and food processing. I had this baby for about 4 months now and I am LOVING IT! I use it everyday and it is absolutely the best even when it comes to the price.  So, do not hesitate to purchase the Oster 1200 Plus.
