The Ninja Nutri Pro comes with 18- and 24-ounce blending cups and to-go lids so you can make your drink and head out the door. Just be careful of seeds, as those don't blend as well, but if you don't mind a chunkier texture, go ahead and throw those raspberries in. It can even handle powdery items, such as ground flax and whey protein. Don't let it's compact size fool you, though, as it still packs quite the punch with 900 watts of power, which thoroughly blends ingredients-like frozen blueberries, soft fruits, and leafy greens-in 10 seconds or less. While it doesn't have the large capacity of the other models on our list, it's perfect for those looking to make personal-size smoothies and especially those who are low on counter space. If you know blenders, you know the Ninja name, and the Nutri Pro lives up to the high quality the brand is known for. While you can clean this manually by blending a few drops of dish soap in water, the jar and lid are also dishwasher-safe.Ĭapacity: 56 ounces | Power: 1,200 watts | Settings: 5 speeds, 3 pre-programmed settings, and a pulse setting | Dimensions: 9.02 x 7.59 x 15.8 inches | Warranty: 5 years There are three programs, including ice crush, icy drinks, and smoothie, and the dial lets you cycle through five different speeds for precise control. The design of the K400 creates a vortex down to the asymmetrical blades, which helps ingredients blend more thoroughly. It's durable and should last you a long time, even when used on a daily basis. It's still not cheap, and it features about half the wattage, but the rave reviews speak for themselves: This machine has the blending power to pulverize ice in the blink of an eye, does very well with fibrous ingredients, and is able to turn nuts into smooth nut butter. If you can't quite rationalize dropping nearly $600 on a Vitamix blender, this is a solid alternative at a fraction of the price. Its blades are mighty enough to simultaneously puree and heat up soup, but makes quick work of frozen ingredients, too, allowing no time for heat up and all the time for enjoying icy treats. It can truly take on anything, rapidly turning fibrous celery into smooth juice, fresh cream into butter, and more. During testing, when we pitted a number of Vitamix models against each other, the 750 was the best by far. (It even includes a tamper.)Ī quick look at the price tag might make you recoil-this is certainly an investment piece-but it's absolutely worth it for its versatility and power. Not only does this blow every other blender that we tested out of the water, but it can also be used as a food processor in most cases. While the food gets hot, the motor is designed to run cool, so it won’t overheat with extended blending time. The blades spin so fast that you can even heat cold ingredients to steaming hot in about six minutes for smooth hot sauces, salsas, or soups. The powerful 2,400-watt machine has manual controls for 10 different speeds, a pulse button to get the perfect salsa, and five programmed settings for smoothies, hot soups, frozen desserts, purees, and cleaning-just add a drop of dish soap and warm water, and the machine cleans itself in about a minute. It’s built for longevity and can do everything you need and more, from turning ice into fluffy snow to grinding grains into flour. Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender ReviewĪre you tired of replacing blenders every year or so when the motors burn out? Add this one to your kitchen arsenal, and it will be the last blender you ever buy. Yes, $150+ is somewhat of an investment, but it's more than worth it if you're looking for a high-performance machine that could potentially last you a lifetime. That said, this offers incredible value: One of our editors' parents has had this same food processor for decades, and it still works as good as new. The only minor hiccups you may have is with setup (assembling the attachments for the first time wasn't a walk in the park nor was it the most difficult thing in the world) and cleaning the different parts. We found this food processor very easy to use and were pleasantly surprised with how well it kneaded dough. As far as discs go, you get one for shredding and another for slicing, plus a removable disc stem that fits both and a metal blade for chopping, mixing, blending, and emulsifying. The 14-cup work bowl allows for family-size batches and has an extra-large feed tube (with small and large pushers), so you don't need to cut ingredients into small pieces to make them fit. Simple operation features include two large paddle buttons-one for "on" and the other for "off/pulse"-and that's really all you need. This food processor isn't fancy by any means, but it gets the job done better than any other food processor we tested. Cuisinart Custom 14-Cup Food Processor Review
