Ninja Ultima Blender Plus BL830 Review


Product Review: Ninja Ultima Blender

Company: Amazon via seller Ninja

Price Range: $260-$285

Pros:

Unleash the most powerful Ninja Blender in your own kitchen. With the Ninja Ultima Blender Plus you will employ a 1500 Watt Blender that can reach up to 2.5 Horsepower. Crush ice with ease. Blend smoothies in mere seconds. Choose from either low speeds or high speeds with variable blending speeds for whatever your blending needs happen to be.

Ninja finally got the blending technology right with the BL830 model. Rather than having solely insertable blending blades like all previous Ninja Blender models, this Ninja model actually has unique technology that doesn't scream cheap. Insertable blades still exist for this blender, but the Ninja finally comes with attached stainless steel blades to the bottom of the blender. Truly Ninja took a chance with this blender design.

Dual stage blending makes for a unique blending design. Top spinning blades spin at a lower speed in order to chop fruits, ice, and vegetables into smaller bits. From there, the smaller bits fall to the bottom where they get caught up in the high spinning bottom blades. With nearly five times the blending speeds at the top blades, the ingredients that fall to the bottom are liquified. This cycle repeats until the blending contents are liquified in the 72 oz blending container.

Use up to three Single Serve Blending Cups for morning time on the go blending. Single serve blending cups are perfect if you need to make a blended drink in a hurry. Only a few ingredients are needed and everything can be blended up in less than five minutes. With three different Single Serve Blending Cups, make drinks for three separate people or make three different flavors of smoothies in the morning. Maybe some people in the house like green smoothies and others do not, this allows for everyone to drink a smoothie in the morning without any sort of complaining.

For about 50% less than the asking price of a Vitamix, the Ninja Ultima Blender is a good choice. Not everyone wants to drop $500 on a Vitamix blender, especially for people who are debating on what to upgrade to from a sub-$100 blender. While the Ninja Blender is not as a good as a Vitamix, this blender is still a comparable choice. What separates the Vitamix from this blender most clearly is that more time will be needed to blend up smoothies than what a Vitamix would require. About 1-2 minutes of blending time will be needed to perfectly liquify a green smoothie, a significant amount of more time than what a Vitamix requires.

Cons:

Cleanup is still not easy with this blender. It seems all Ninja Blenders are tricky to clean due to the blades that detach from the blender. When removing the upper blades from the blender, you must be very careful during cleanup. These blades are sharp and it is entirely possible you could cut yourself. Other than the annoying blade removal part, the cleaning process is pretty simple that just involves rinsing and throwing the blender in the dishwasher. This problem only exists for the 72 oz container, the on the Single Serve Blending Cups are simple to clean, just don't leave them sitting around after use.

Guarantee:


Ninja offers a 2 year warranty to replace any parts that malfunction as a result of faulty manufacturing. Nina does charge a service fee and charges the customers return postage that will total out to be nearly $40.

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 Ultima Blender Plus BL830 will make for a great purchase for anyone interested in buying this blender. With its high power blending speed and dual blade technology, the Ninja Ultima will liquify just about anything you throw into it. While cleanup can be tricky to deal with, it is a small inconvenience when it means superb blending power and an affordable price.
