This blender is so powerful! It's also somehow compact, so it fits so much better on my counter than my previous blender! The design is sleek and chic, so I love to show it off. The blending power is off the chain, it can do anything. I love how I can choose the thickness of my smoothies- that's a huge step up from my old blender- the customization that this machine provides is so perfect for a family, who all need it for different uses- quick smoothie blending for morning smoothies (with a quick blend cup included!), making instagram-worthy smoothie bowls, blending creamy soup, making delish quick pestos for dinner, milkshakes- the list is endless! I definitely would recommend this Ninja blender to anyone who loves to create in the kitchen!
