We replaced our old blender when it died with this Ninja.  The other brand is a well known one, known for its use at many establishments and on many cooking shows.  I wasn't sure what to expect with this after using such a powerful machine....HAHAHA  This Ninja blows that thing out of the water.  The way it crushes ice, blends smoothies and makes my grandson his baby food is beyond amazing!

What can I say... we are super happy with the latest addition to our Ninja Kitchen!
