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

The Ninja Mixer merch is selling like hot cakes

I'd choose the small or medium Vornado fan before the Dyson. I've been using it fulltimeing for five years now and it really does make the whole room feel cooler.



I'd also recommend:


a washer/dryer combo if you have room.


Square Pizza stone and thermometer for the oven.


LED Bulbs for everything 12v and 110v


Shark Rocket Ultralight vaccum



Water Filter


Better mattress


Ninja Pro Blender/Food Possessor/Chopper


Mini Dish Drying rack

This is what I have and it's amazing. $60 for more canisters than I will ever really need and it's a snap to clean.

I have the Ninja Master Prep system as a general blender and food processor. It doesn't use a huge base, as it's powered by this small pod that you put on top of the container. I haven't used it for smoothies but it makes great, smooth results for the cooking applications I use it for. The 48oz container would be great to serve a family of 4. It's only 450 watts though, if that's too weak for your liking.

I also have the Nutri Ninja Pro. It's more powerful than the Master Prep with 900 watts. This is what I typically use for smoothies and ice pops. It blends up frozen fruit and ice with no problem. The biggest cup this comes with is 24oz. However, there are separate 32oz and 48oz containers available for it as well if you need them.

I love my Ninja. I bought the set with 3 different sizes and use the little one 90% of the time. It's a bit pricey but absolutely worth it.

Edit: Mine is the Food Processor/Blender. This is what I bought (not a referral link or anything). All 3 are great, but the little one is amazing and wonderful

Hi, i live on a boat, I have extremely limited storage space.

I have one knife with a sharpener and plastic blade cover.

I use one shape and size of ziploc screw-top food containers, so they nest.

this is my compact pressure cooker

boaters nesting cookware

this is my food processor good if you want to make hummus or a smoothie. a blender bottle is great but only goes so far. I even tried to chuck a mixer whisk into a power drill to get around this.

There's no good compact spice rack that i know of. I use a zojirushi fuzzy logic rice cooker for oatmeal in the morning. I use a fine grater instead of a garlic press. If you have a stove, you do not need a microwave. I keep all of my produce suspended in a mini-hammock. I keep all of my dry goods in square screw-top containers i buy bulk peanuts in. I have 1:4 diluted dr. bronners in foaming dispensers to act as hand soap, shampoo, dish soap. In the sink i have a long handled brush, fuck sponges, abrasive pads kill teflon.

Part of minimal living is not breaking the stuff you have. I don't let metal touch teflon. I always hand-wash cooking knives. stacked nested glasses like pint glasses tend to cold-weld to each other.

Boaters have all sorts of crazy shit for small spaces. such as this

As a vegan getting a food processor really helped. I really like the Ninga because it felt like a good blend of price/practicality and I love it. I've only had it 6 months or so but it does a good job. http://www.amazon.com/Ninja-Master-Prep-Professional-QB1004/dp/B004XK4N9C?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00

I did the professional because I wanted them all, but I use the 400 watt the most if you are on a budget. There are also good threads you can search for in /r/vegan about the different types of options.

Thanks!!

I have an older model of this ninja

It doesn’t have a pulse button so I manually pulse it.

I have this $50 Ninja. It works great. Consumer Reports best buy, I think.

Blendtec and Vitamix are the kings of the high-price market, and after more than 600 cycles in less than a year I don't regret my $300-something Blendtec purchase a bit.

That said, if you're not addicted to the blender quite as much as I am, I've heard good things about the "Ninja" brand at a lower price point. I believe this model received some top honors on Consumer Reports and even at $60 has a lot of good feedback in general; the only negatives might be the lowish capacity (likely not an issue coming from Nutribullet) and potential longevity issues (perhaps not an issue at all).

Do you have a blender already? Or are you opposed to buying a food processor/blender type of thing? Because my personal love of a food processor is actually this set from Ninja. If you want something a bit more, this is the next step up. And if you just want the food processor part try this.

Looks like your question about differences has been answered so I will just give a suggestion. I use the small one of this for salsa and hummus. Then I use the larger one for sauces. Works great for the price.
