When we bought a second home I did not want to buy all the individual appliances again and purchased the Ninja System. It is powerful and suited for all my prepping, juicing, blending, and cooking needs; even ice cream. I plan to buy another and give away all the small appliances at the other house. The box I received stated their was a recipe book on line. I could not find it and called Ninja and learned the online version never came to be. However, there were sites with 100s of recipes for the Ninja.
