Ninja QB1004 Blender/Food Processor with 450-Watt Base, 48oz Pitcher, 16oz Chopper Bowl, and 40oz Processor Bowl for Shakes, Smoothies, and Meal Prep,Black

Perfect. Easy Cleanup.
This is a great little blender/processor. I needed a processor to make Mexican Corn Cake but I didn’t want to spend too much as I don’t have many uses to have a big one taking up space all the time. I got this one for $39. This set does not take up a ton of room and is very versatile. You can customize the blades in the small container as well as the pitcher. All of the plastic is nice and thick; there are no cheap feeling pieces in this set. I’ve also made smoothies with it and it crushed ice and frozen fruit with zero issues. I love that it is all dishwasher safe too, saves time on cleanup. Be careful during assembly because when they say those blades are sharp they are NOT joking! I didn’t even know I touched one of the blades when I was putting it together and I must have cut myself! So try to pick the blade part up by the stem. It’s loud like any other blender, but not obnoxious. You’ll definitely hear it in the other room, but it’s a blender so I would think most are going to be loud unless you have a vacuum sealed professional blender.

Works great, pain to clean overengineered
So first for the low price I paid especially you get a lot and it gets the job done. Way more powerful than the old small ninja chopper which was struggling with hummus.My uses are Hummus/Salsa/Guac for the smaller guy, and Smoothies and butternut soup for the larger. All of the above it does, including handling the frozen berries. You just need the soup ingredients to not be hot obviously (the way I make it I like to look it some more after blending anyway so I’m fine with the plastic).The lids are annoying to clean. They have crevices and it’s nearly impossible to let them drip dry at an angle where all the water can escape. Those same books are really difficult to handle clean also, I had to get out the little brush that comes with some difficult to clean water bottles, or try squeezing a sponge in etc. Not a problem for runnier things but hummus and peanut butter aren’t the easiest thing to wash off with just the spray gun.It’s also a lot of parts. The blades are 2 parts, then the lid, then the container then the motor. And the lid has a seal ring that comes out easily and you gonna want to wash that separately once in a while. A lot of space in the dish rack, awkward shapes, lots of things to wash for just a smoothie.The 2 piece blades are cool though because the top half is made to go up and down I guess, adding a pulsating effect.I guess I really preferred the design of the old smaller one, with a flat lit and a flat-ish motor unit. Easier to clean.Also my old blender for a smoothie most of the time didn’t even splash up to the lid l, made a nice vortex, so I didn’t even have to clean that. This thing, it’s mayhem in there, splashing all over. It’s all contained, no leaks or anything.I have to give a good rating because for the $35ish I paid to basically replace my old weaker ninja chopper (which I think I bought for $30-35 ~7y ago) as well as my recently burned out blender, I got great bang for the buck and it can handle what I need to throw at it. I lost ease of cleanup. But – I’ve had worse cleanup, at least everything is actually cleanable and there aren’t nooks where it’s literally impossible and then it gets gross – this isn’t that bad.I never chop ice but the instructions manual does say it’s supposed to be able to make shaved ice. One other thing to note is it says never to hold it more than 15s. I find that that’s more than enough for a smoothie, and hummus I do 2 pulses of 15s with a taste test in-between, and it’s good to go at that point IMO. In other words this thing packs a punch and that 15s seems sufficient I’m generalI wish the blender container was made to stack on top of the chopper container, would result in a smaller footprint when storing. I’m not sure that this is really a space saver for that reason so if you’re thinking small apartment one person save space, no. Affordable unit that can handle a bunch of stuff a cross between a chopper and a blender, yesAlso the chopper and blender are basically the same thing just one is bigger. I don’t think there’s a material difference between the 2 besides volume and that the blades are farther apart. So you could theoretically put one away and use the other if the volume of stuff you’re making fits in the smaller or is enough to cover both blades in the larger. In that regard it could be a space saver on the counter. As an example, I don’t make enough hummusnfor the pitcher and my smoothies don’t fit in the chopper so that doesn’t work for me.

Chops, Dices – This Blender Entices!
My mom bought our first blender at the Calif. State Fair in Sacramento 70 years ago (yes, I’m that old!). That may have been the same year she got the full set of encyclopedia and signed up to have an oil portrait done. Our original blender was an Oster, and for years after I married and moved on I was loyal to that brand. Ten years ago, in a fit of downsizing, I gave my last Oster away . It had a separate food processing bowl and I really wanted something like that again now that I crave another blender in my life. I’ve looked off and on but found nothing that fit my requirements until I saw this Ninja unit with 3 separate jars and blades for each. Today I tried it for the first time and I am so pleased with the ease of use and clean-up! Just a few quick pulses converted left over creamed vegetables into the base for a tasty soup, Can’t wait to use it again now that I’ve overcome that “first use fear”. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a blender to do something besides make smoothies . . .not that there’s anything wrong with smoothies!

The food processor chops like crazy im always tempted to just toss in garlic instead of using a knife.Initially got this for my son to use as a blender. I ended up testing it before him.PROS: easy to use. I like that the motor is up top, no risk of anything spilling on it. Changing it from blender to processor is easy too. The blender pitcher is nice, and has an opening if you wanna pour liquids in, or to use as a spout for pouring. The food processor container has measurements which makes life easier. They’re both plastic but seems high quality (we’ll see i guess). I use the food processor to make cauliflower rice and all it takes is 5 pulses to get the right consistency. However since the container is small, a head of cauli takes about 6 trips to rice-ify the whole thing. It also comes with 2 lids for each container, which i thought was a nice additionCONS: when you remove the motor top, it flips to one side or rolls cause it’s round. Wish it can stand on it’s own. I dont think you can use it for thick blending, i tried blending some really soft potatoes i cut into small pieces to make into mashed potatoes and the motor ran hot. I got scared, didnt wanna break it, so i stopped lol. The food processor container is also small but maybe all processors are like that?All in all i’m happy with it. I also got it for $58 so pricepoint-wise it’s also good. I hope it lasts a while!
