I have had my my fair share of blenders in the past including the high end V blender and this one blows any of them out of the water. I love Ninja appliances and they are always my first choice but I’m never not surprised by the quality and function of them. 

The blend sense technology is insane! It’s not lying when it says it will blend perfectly every time no matter the ingredients used. You can watch it sense what it’s meant to mix and it then applies the correct settings and applies them counting down to a perfect smoothie. I haven’t even tapped in to all the additional settings this thing has but man have I found my new favorite product for sure. I’ve been using it nearly every day since I received it. Oh! It’s easy to clean too!
