This Ninja portable blender is simply amazing. Whether you’re travelling or want a quick smoothie, this blender will make your life easy. Want to get your kids to eat their fruits and veggies, this portable blender will easily blend everything you put into it, and the kids won’t even know what hit them. In this review, I will explain my thoughts on this portable Ninja blender. To start, I thought Ninja did a great job with the “box” and overall presentation. Well, it’s more of a cylinder but it is made with some strong and durable cardboard that can be reused for storage of items or art projects. The blender is rechargeable and a USB-A to USB-C cable is included. There is no charging brick, but I was able to charge the blender with my phone charger. The blender comes in three parts: a lid with a spring release button, a hollow blending vessel (note that there is no bottom), and the motor base. The blending vessel will always need to be connected to the motor base since the vessel is hollow all the way through. It does feel a bit awkward at first when drinking out of it since the weight of the bass acts like a counterweight anytime you drink. Fortunately, I eventually did get used to it. The blender is straightforward and easy to use too but Ninja does recommend you place ingredients into the blender in a certain order for the best results. I followed through with this and 100% confirm that your drinks will come out a lot smoother. I attached an image of the recommended way to place ingredients into the blender. Also, if you dislike the loud sounds from a typical blender, you will enjoy this one since this is undoubtedly the quietest blender I have ever used. I was able to have a normal conversation with my family while this was running in the background, if that tells you anything. If you have kids or adults with intrusive thoughts, there is no need to worry about them turning the motor base on without the vessel. Ninja built a safety feature into the motor base where it will not turn on if the base isn’t flush with the vessel. The light indicator on the base will also flash white. This blender is easy to clean too, so your kids will be able to help with the dishes if needed. ;) Overall, this is an excellent portable blender. Ninja always delivers with their kitchen products and this one is no different. The blender does everything you need it to do and best of all, it is easy to use, convenient, and portable! If you are in search of a portable blender that will get the job done, I wholeheartedly recommend you give this one a shot!

Great quality. Very practical. Strong blades. Convenient. Looks great. Easy to charge and bring with you places on the go. At home. In the car. At the office. Ninja is wondeful. Another product they nailed it. Highly recommend

Few months ago I decided to enjoy the beauty of nature by doing hiking, walking and even mountain climbing sometimes. Since outdoor activities require a healthy diet, this portable blender helped me a lot. I can my smoothie anywhere anytime. Overall, all I can say, this machine is amazing.

The best handy blender. The best feature is the charged battery last longer and can blend frozen fruits! The price is just right

The Ninja Blast Portable Blender is a cordless rechargeable personal-size blender with leak proof sipper that you can take on the go. It's perfect for making smoothies, protein shakes and much more. When we Start the blender, the blender runs for 30 seconds. Order of adding the ingredients: Liquid, Fruits, leafy greens, Nut butter, Powder and then ice. Note - If you see the Orange light on the Start/Stop button make sure to shake the blender and then press the Start/Stop button once again. If you still see the Orange light make sure to add some liquid, shake well and then press the Start/Stop button once again. Pros: 1. Performance - This blender is so powerful for its size and battery power. It simply crushed the ice cubes with such an ease. I never thought this blender will be so powerful. 2. Price - At 60$ this is really a steal for the power it delivers. You will certainly not repent buying one of these ever. Period. 3. Size and convenience - This is a portable blender that can be taken anywhere on the go with a carrying handle. This blender is really small. This blender has a capacity of 18 oz and it can be used anywhere without a need to connect to the power socket. Also this blender is so sleek that it fits inside the car cup holder. 4. Rechargable - The blender is rechargeable. So there is no need to connect to the wall socket ever. Regardless of where you go, you can use this blender on the go or while camping or in the office or wherever you want. Recharging takes about 2 hours from 0 to full charge. After recharging the blender will last upto 15 blending cycles which is upto 1 week (if used daily) or 2 work weeks (5 working days) which includes the rinsing/cleaning cycle. This is a lot of battery power considering the power Ninja Blast delivers. 5. USB C charging - Ninja has done a great job in making sure they are no longer providing an outdated Micro USB charging anymore. USB C is nowadays the standard used in most of the gadgets and this is the most welcoming thing. Also the charging port is water resistant. 6. Container - The sipping lid and blending container are BPA free as well as Dishwasher safe. The motor base is not and it should not be submerged in water. 7. Cleaning - It is very easy to clean. Just add some soap liquid and run the blender for one cycle and then wash it with water. Its as simple as that. Cons: Almost nothing

This portable blender is great for making smoothies and other blended drinks on-the-go. Whether you’re at the office, the gym, on a boat or anywhere in between, you can blend up your favorite drinks on demand for the ultimate in freshness. A quick and quiet 30-second blend is all it takes. The built-in rechargeable battery should last through several day’s worth of uses and its compact design is not a ton bigger than a regular tumbler. Cleanup is super easy, too. Pros: * Works really well. * Is relatively quiet. * Easy to clean with or without disassembly. * Entire base is safe to be rinsed for deep cleaning. * USB-C charging. * Great battery life at up to 15 blends (30-sec each) per charge. Cons: * A bit awkward to drink with the weight of the attached base. * Spring-loaded lid stays open until the last sip when it taps you on the head ;-) * Not insulated, so chilled/frozen drinks start warming up and condensation starts soon. * No travel lock - can trigger a blend accidentally. * Not really 18oz - more like 14oz at most. Sometimes you want to have a fresh blended smoothie or frozen drink when you’re not near your full-size blender at home. Perhaps you just crushed that workout at a park or gym, or need a break while working at an office… This Ninja Blast portable blender has you covered! The built-in battery powers through up to 15 blends (at 30-seconds each) and is easily recharged by USB-C. It’s relatively quiet and completely stable while blending. Setup is super easy. There were a ton of informational stickers on the various parts, but they all had pull tabs and peeled off cleanly and easily. Charge it up with the provided USB-C cable and any suitable USB power adapter (not included). The light ring on the Start/Stop button indicates when charging is complete. There are really only 3 parts; the motor base, the blend vessel and the sip lid. Screw them together and you’re ready to blend up something tasty. The instructions recommend a specific order of adding ingredients for the best results; liquids first and ice and frozen stuff last with everything else in the middle. The advertising says it’s an 18oz blender, but at least according to the measurements on the side of the vessel, the max fill line is 16oz and once all blended up, is a bit less than that. There is an optional 18oz vessel available separately, at least. Turn it on and wait for it to verify that the vessel is screwed on properly. Then just tap the Start/Stop button to run a 30-second blend. Tap it again mid-blend to stop it early. If necessary, you can pick the whole thing up and shake or swirl it if anything isn’t blending well, but I never had a problem that needed to do this. When the blending is done, just press the release button on the lid to sip away. You can even slide a straw (not provided) into the sip lid if you’d prefer. Keep in mind that the vessel is not insulated, so your cold or frozen concoction will start warming up and/or melting right away and if you’re outside on a warm day, don’t expect it to stay cold or frozen for long. While not necessarily intended, you can always unscrew the sip lid and pour your drink out into an insulated tumbler or glass for a longer-lasting chill. The lid’s cover is spring loaded and mostly works fine. The shape of the sip opening is oval so the lid springs open away from you (not to the side). When you get to the last drops of goodness and the vessel is tipped to get the last few drops out, the lid’s spring just isn’t strong enough and the protective lid taps you on the head. Just be aware of this when finishing your drink and hold the lid open with your other hand and you’ll be fine. After enjoying your smoothie, cleanup is really easy. The fast way to clean it is just to rinse out the vessel with the base still attached, then fill the vessel with fresh water to the “Min Liquid” line, add a drop of dish soap, and run a blend cycle (with the lid screwed on and closed of course). Rinse the soap out and you’re ready for another blend. For a deeper clean, just unscrew the vessel and the lid and then either hand wash them or put them in the dishwasher (no heated dry cycle). The base can safely be rinsed under a faucet but be careful around the blades as they are really sharp. Best to use a bottle brush or other similar washing tool and not a simple sponge for safety. The entire base is splash resistant including the USB port. Don’t submerge it and definitely don’t put it in the dishwasher, but hand washing and getting the whole base wet is OK. This blender is slim and relatively lightweight for carrying around in a gym bag, a backpack or really large cargo short pockets ;-). Regardless of how you pack it, something to be careful of is accidentally triggering a blend. The power button is a simple tap to turn on or off (not a press and hold). And when on, the blend starts with a single tap of the “start/stop” button. Overall, this portable blender works great and is easy to use and clean while away from home. A few small improvements would upgrade it from great to amazing, though… A stronger spring on the lid so it stays open to the last drop. A travel lock on the power button to prevent accident blending. An optional insulated vessel for longer-lasting chill. None of these detract from what this blender does well.
