I debated back and forth for over a year, yes A YEAR, on this product.  I am so glad I came across the promotion and I am kicking myself for waiting so long to purchase.  I use my Ninja every single day for fresh smoothies, salsas, ice creams, etc.  I absolutely love how easy it is to throw in large pieces of fruitveggies and press go.  I was nervous initially but the blades cut right through!  It's fantastic that it really breaks everything down and you get all nutrients.  My only slight complaint is how loud it is!  But with the sturdy, heavy duty work it's doing I can understand.  If you are contemplating at all, do not waste any more time, just commit- you won't regret it!
