Frequently Asked Questions

Is this blender loud?? Trying not to wake othere in the am!

I use it with towel around it in the morning. it’s loud… not as bad as some. I mostly do not wake the baby that is 10 feet away.

Can this blender chop nuts in a smoothie, if I wanted to add a handful of nuts to it?

Yes it can. It will destroy ice, frozen fruit, nuts, and seeds. Just be sure to hold it down for a few seconds and let it up for a few seconds (basically pulse it with a pause in between) to make sure you get it as blended as you’d like. I love mine. I highly recommend it.

Can this blender chop kale very good?

Extremely well, the ninja can handle anything you put in it. I did a 12 day kale/spinach smoothie cleanse and it was perfect.

Is this easy to open and close/lock in place?

Yes. Very easy.

Is’t am returnable product if I don’t like it?

Yes

Can I chop chicken bones?

We would like to inform you that this blender is not designed to chop bones.

I want to get this to make myself healthy drinks but can I also use this to make make food purée for my baby?

I would say yes. I use mine for smoothies, but it has plenty of power. If tou’re using it to make soft food four baby you should be ok

Does this blender work with other size cups?

We would like to inform you that this blender does not have different size cups.

Does anyone travel with the blender & cup? How portable do you find this?

The base is very easy to move around. I would say it is easy to use for travel. BecUse all you have is the base and cups.

Do these fit other ninja blenders?

Yes these fit other Ninja brand blenders.

How easy to clean?

Very easy. Everything is separate, the blades and the bottle, so it’s simple to keep clean.

Do safety features prevent cup being removed thus exposing active blades in housing? Other brands do not. Is it possible to turn on exposed blades?

We would like to inform you that the Ninja® Personal Blender has safety features in place to prevent the blender from working without a cup on the motor base. The blade cover needs to be screwed on to the cup prior to connecting the cup to the motor base.

Is there a pulse button underneath so I can turn it upside down for my larger container?

Not really sure what you mean by turning it upside down… With this, the blending is activated by pressing the blender container down. There are no buttons which I actually find better and easier for my purposes.

Will this blender work for grinding cashews for vegan cheese dishes?

Yes but you will have to use a lubricator liquid like vegan milk or water. Its NOT a food processor

Does the blade assembly have just 2 blades, 4, or 6?

Four very sharp blades. Shreds ice very quickly

Anyone found a tool (brush or sponge) that works good for cleaning blade assembly on this Ninja Personal blender?

I use warm water filled 1/3 – 1/2 full. Add a little dish soap and run blender again. Rinse with hot water. It takes less than a minute to clean it if you do it as soon as you are finished using it.

Does this blend ice cream shakes well?

YEs It does

How do you clean base unit if liquid has spilled in it ?

Don’t get water in the bottom of the unit where the cooling vents are. (So DON’T SUBMERGE IT!!) But if you lay it on it’s side with the top of the unit hanging over the edge of the sink and use your sink sprayer gently you can rinse the junk out with warm water. There is a seal for the motor shaft that keeps the bottom dry but again DON’T spray up into the bottom of the unit as it will short out the motor and make a mess of the electrical parts. Use great caution with the water.

Is there a food processor attachment available?

An earlier version did have a good processor available. I didn’t search for attachments for this new Ninja.

Can you make ice cream or nice cream in this?

I’m not sure. If you are interest in making ice cream, Ninja makes a device for making ice cream, it’s called a Creami

Does this work well for pureeing carrots?

Any fruits and veggies for perfect smoothies and shakes

Are the cups BPA free?

We are happy to confirm that the cups for the Ninja® Personal Blender are BPA free.
