Ninja Professional Blender BL 660 Review

Product Review: Ninja Professional Blender (BL660)


Price Range: $115-$160

Features:
  •  Blend On the Go
  • 1100 Watt of Power
  •  Designed for Smoothies
Pros:

For anyone looking for a professional quality blender, the choices on the market can be frightening. In order to get one of these high quality blenders, you are almost guaranteed to pay $400 for a single blender. The Ninja Professional Style Blender offers similar quality to these blenders for less than $150. Achieve the smoothest consistency of blended goods without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.

One of the few products of craftsmanship Ninja makes. Ninja offers a large array of products. Many of the lower cost items have noticeable design faults in them and are inappropriate for daily smoothie making use. Finally Ninja has released a blender that can cut up even the smallest bits and make them into a drinkable beverage.

Fruit smoothies are the prime recipe to make in the Ninja Professional Blender. Simply add fruit (frozen fruit works best), bananas, water, ice, and let it blend. In seconds you will have a delicious fruit smoothie that is smoother than any milkshake you have drunk before. For vegans, the fruit smoothie will quickly triumph over any fond memories you had over milkshakes of the past. Even non-vegan members of my family salivate at the prospects of fruit smoothies and beg me to save some for them. 

Blend in either a 72oz blender or a 16oz one, the choice is yours. With the 72oz Blender Jar, you can make more than enough fruit smoothie goodness in order to replace an unhealthy breakfast commonly found in the American home. If you were to fill all 72oz of the blender with fruit to make a smoothie, you will have so much that you need to share some with others. Thus, it is perfect for making breakfast for a couple now dedicated to living a healthy life. Ninja's 16oz single serve works well for a diversity of tasks. If you need something quick, use it to make a drink to get some calories and fructose in your system. It also functions extremely well when making bean dips like hummus. You can even make homemade almond butter or sunflower butter with this handy little blender.

Cons:

When it comes to making green smoothies out of leafy green vegetables, the Shark Ninja Professional Style Blender is not perfect. When blending in the 72oz container, you will often have little leafy bits get lost in the sea of smoothie. This is never a pleasing experience when drinking something you expect to be silky smooth. The 16oz container never has this problem, it manages to liquify the leaves quite well since it is such a small space.

If you really want to drink green smoothies made out of the 72oz container, I would suggest using a quality green powder ingredient. Read my review of Vitamineral Green in order to learn about the best green powder that exists.

Guarantee:

The Amazon A-Z Guarantee is the best guarantee in the market. In the event that the product is not delivered, delivered in a broken condition, or is not meeting the quality expectations of the buyer, the item may be returned to Amazon for a full refund. A 30 day window exists to file a claim to Amazon over any problem that may come up with the product.


 
Value for money? 

The Ninja Professional Style Blender does a great job for its cost point. Making fruit smoothies comparable to the Vitamix or anything you would buy at Jamba Juice is a great feeling. Not having to shell out hundreds of dollars in order to do so is an even better feeling. For anyone seeking a blender that will deliver healthy frozen smoothies, you can not go wrong with the Shark Ninja Professional Style Blender. Overall, I give the Ninja Professional Blender 3/5 stars.
