This crushes ice and fruit like a dream! Its loud but powerful. I will never buy another brand of blender after using this one. I tell all my friends and family how wonderful this blender is! Its a 5 star in my book!

It's not a terrible blender but I wish I'd gone for a vitamix for just a little more money. This one cannot handle kale, tried 3 times on the green smoothie highest setting and had to strain it with a nut bag to make it smooth.

Really like the sturdiness of the locking mechanisms. Using the Ninja junctions with cups almost every day for smoothies. Also like the lack of worries about it getting blocked or overheating given by the IQ functions.
