NinjaBN401 Nutri Pro Compact Personal Blender, Auto-iQ Technology, 1100-Peak-Watts, for Frozen Drinks, Smoothies, Sauces & More, with (2) 24-oz. To-Go Cups & Spout Lids, Cloud Silver

This blender is amazing for daily smoothies and frozen drinks—it’s super powerful and crushes ice with no problem at all. The Auto-iQ feature makes it really easy to use, and I love the two to-go cups with lids. It’s compact, easy to clean, and saves me so much time in the morning. Highly recommend!

This is my first time using a compact personal blender like this, and I’m honestly blown away by how powerful it is for its size. The motor handles frozen fruit, ice, and even tougher ingredients like nuts and spinach without a problem. The blades are extremely sharp — you can feel it when you're rinsing them (carefully!), and you can definitely see it in how smooth the blends come out.Functionality is simple but smart. The Auto-iQ setting is a nice touch — I just press one button and it goes through a blending/pulsing pattern on its own, which takes out the guesswork. That’s perfect when I’m in a rush in the morning and don’t want to babysit the blender.The build quality feels solid. The cups are thick and sturdy, and everything twists and locks into place with a satisfying click. The lids fit securely, and I love that I can blend straight into the cup, snap the lid on, and take it to go. No leaks so far. It’s also compact enough to keep on the counter without taking up much space.No odd plastic smell out of the box either — just a quick rinse and it was ready to use. Some appliances come with that strong factory odor, but this one didn’t.For the price, I think it’s excellent value. You’re getting serious blending power without needing a big countertop machine. I haven’t had it long enough to speak to long-term durability, but based on the performance and how sturdy it feels, I expect it to hold up well.If you’re looking for a reliable, no-fuss blender that can handle frozen drinks, smoothies, and sauces — this one definitely delivers.

This Ninja blender is a game changer. The Auto Blend feature with the one-minute timer is all you need—it takes the guesswork out of making smoothies. Just press the button, walk away, and come back to a perfectly blended drink every single time. It crushes ice, fruit, and anything else I toss in without any issues. Cleanup is quick, the cups are super convenient, and the whole thing feels really solid and well-built. I use it daily and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended if you want fast, easy, and reliable results.

The Ninja Blender BN401 is an excellent choice for making smoothies. While it is a bit loud, it blends frozen fruits quickly and efficiently. Compared to the Nutribullet, which was more expensive and had performance issues, the Ninja stands out. The Nutribullet’s lids were clunky and prone to leaking, whereas the Ninja’s low-profile lids are secure and leak-proof. Overall, this blender delivers great performance at a better value.

Update personal blender has started to smoke again during usage rubber is coming off in the smoothies. Will be returning for a replacementI like Ninja products, I have their coffee maker and thought I would try the personal blender. I gave this 4 stars because of the loud noise and the cups were only 21 ounces, not 24 ounces as stated in the description and on the box.The personal blender is super easy to use and does pause on any setting you push even on the smoothie button and crush also. I did have some smoke when I first used the blender but have not experienced any smoke thus far.I have made 6 smoothies since it arrived on Monday. The smoothie button leaves bits of granola in my drink but if you put it on crush they disappear, thus also 4 stars. Easy to clean but will admit the frozen strawberries seem difficult to crush even on crush but it does crush the ice without a problem.The suction cups on the bottom do a great job of sticking to the counter which I like. So far I like it not love it because the cups are not 24 ounces but 21 ounces and the smoothie blends leaves pieces of granola in the drink so you have to remember to push the crush after the smoothie button.It does a fine job of making a smoothie which is what I wanted in a personal blender but the noise is too loud. It's simple and does the job with no thrills or extras. I got this on a one-day discount that was adverstised.
