Unleashing the Ninja Mega Kitchen System 1500 will continue to surprise you with its myriad of pros. For a sub-$200 Blender, it is almost amazing that a single blender is able to offer so much for the price point. With most blenders some feature has to be sacrificed to get bonuses in a certain area. Vitamix Blenders are known for high powered blending. NutriBullet Blenders are known for making smoothies quickly for on-the-go blending. Ninja Blenders are known for being a utility blender with a unique trick or two. The Ninja Mega Kitchen System 1500 has the good elements of all these much loved blenders.
Blending just about anything is possible with the entire setup of the Ninja Mega Kitchen 1500 Blender. The 1500 Watts of Power and 2 Horsepower Motor will provide enough power for the Ninja to blend ice, liquify fruits and leafy greens, and crush seeds. Even the toughest of leafy greens like kale and collard are no real issue, the greens liquify near completely (not to Vitamix perfection levels though). Any blending task that needs getting done, the Ninja will handle it.

Smoothie making is a true joy when customization exists. With the Ninja 1500 Blender, you will be able to blend massive smoothies in the 72 oz Blending Pitcher, or choose to make quick drinks in the Nutri Ninja Blending Cups. Now, 72 oz of smoothie will overwhelm just about anyone other than a competitive eater. If making enough smoothies for more than two people, the 72 oz Blending Pitcher works well.
For the day to day smoothie making, the Nutri Ninja Cups will suit you far better with their 16 oz capacity. Nutri Ninja Cups are simple, quick, and pack in the fruit and vegetable smoothie we all should try to drink every single day. As an added bonus, Ninja provides two Nutri Ninja Cups that are useful for a couple just getting into smoothies, or a mother and child trying to pick up fun healthy habits. Furthermore, the Nina already comes with a programmed function designed for blending smoothies in the Nutri Ninja Cups.
Beyond the drink making and daily smoothie blending, the Ninja offers even greater bonuses. In particular, the Ninja 1500 Blender provides an 8 Cup Food Processor. While the bonus Ninja Food Processor Pitcher will not beat out a high quality food processor, it will get the job done for just about any task. Beyond just chopping things like tomatoes, carrots, and onions, the Ninja will actually be able to mix dough. All be it, 8 Cups of dough mixing is not that much if you are making large amounts of cookies, bread dough, or pizza dough at any one time.

Cleanup of the Ninja BL770 ends up being a simple affair. Both the 72 oz Blending Pitcher and the 8 Cup Food Processor are the most difficult parts of the Ninja to clean. Now, this is due to both the removable blades being annoying to remove and the larger size of these pitchers. When cleaning though, just rinse out these pitchers and blades, then throw the components in the dishwasher on the bottom rack. The Nutri Ninja Cups are far easier to clean, you would be perfectly fine just cleaning them in the sink, but the dishwasher gets the job done more thoroughly.
Cons:
Removable Blender Blades have their downsides. With the 72 oz Blending Pitcher and the 8 Cup Food Processor, you will have to deal with these removable blades. First of all, these blades are super sharp. You must be careful when removing them and messing around with contents inside the Ninja. It is all too easy to prick yourself when not paying enough attention while your hands are close to the Ninja 1500 Blades. Luckily, this issue does not exist for the Nutri Ninja Cups as the blades are much better positioned.

Ninja 1500 Blender vs NutriBullet 900 Blender
Price:
 |
- You will save more money going with the NutriBullet 900, nearly $60 more. Plenty of differences exist between these two blenders that justify the price difference. Most notably, the price of the Ninja Mega Kitchen System 1500 costs so much more due to the extra features of the NutriBullet.
Design:
- When looking for a traditional blender, go with the Ninja 1500. The Ninja Mega Kitchen System employs a relatively standard blender base that will easily fit into any kitchen. While the Ninja has a few design faults in terms of the blender blades, its blender pitchers hold up well. Be sure you understand what you are in for with the NutriBullet 900 S, a blender shaped like an egg that functions as a small personal blender.
Functions
- The Ninja Mega Kitchen System clearly wins the Functions battle. With the Ninja, you will get a 72 oz Blending Pitcher, a Food Processor Attachment, and 2 Nutri Ninja Cups. All of these bonus functions of the Ninja alone should make it the winner, but it also comes with multiple blending speed abilities. With the NutriBullet, you are really just left with small single serve containers and pulse blending speed.
- Between these two blenders, the Ninja 1500 wins out due to its versatility and power. While the NutriBullet 900 serves well as a blender for on the go blending, it really has only limited abilities. With the Ninja 1500 you will receive a more powerful blender and two Nutri Ninja Cups, these features automatically outclass the NutriBullet 900.For the $60 price hike, the Ninja Mega Kitchen System 1500 just gets the job done better in every conceivable field when compared to the NutriBullet.
Value for Money?
The Ninja Mega Kitchen System 1500 will serve well as a blender that can fill many roles in the modern kitchen. Making drinks and dishes for an entire party will be easy with the 72 oz Blending Pitcher. If you want to make a small single serve smoothie, the Nutri Ninja Cups work well for that job as well. Overall, I give the Ninja Mega Kitchen System 1500 a total of 3 out of 5 stars.
