![]() For crushing ice and preparing all other kinds of recipes like soups and dips, the “Medium” setting is the one to use. The blender also has a “Pulse” button which you can use to max out the blender’s power to chop down tough ingredients before you use the High speed to blend the mixture. The “High” setting is what you’ll use for liquefying and pureeing ingredients which works for just about any smoothie recipe. Having three blend settings makes the Ninja Professional Blender 1000 a bit more straightforward to use.Ĭonsider the “Low” setting as the budget food processor setting as you can use it to do basic food processing or mixing of ingredients. From my testing with this device, that actually doesn’t limit the blender’s versatility because the stacked blade assembly provides some muscle to the motor’s three speeds. 3 speeds only: is that a problem?īut, this Ninja blender only offers three blending speeds as opposed to ten. The Ninja Professional Blender 1000 comes equipped with a 1000-watt motor which sounds good on paper as it matches the wattage of pricier blenders like the Vitamix S55. The base also has a dedicated spot for coiling the power cable when you aren’t using it. Combined with the base, the blender measures slightly more than 17 inches tall and weighs 7 pounds which is pretty light given the capacity. The lid also has a small covered opening that you can lift so you can conveniently pour your mixture through the pitcher’s spout.Īttaching the pitcher to the base is also simple as the base has an indicator showing the direction you need to twist the pitcher in to lock it. Removing the lid is as simple as pressing the “Release” button to pop the locking handle out. ![]() You just use the arrow as a guide for aligning and then press the handle down to lock the lid in place. The lid has a clever handle which doubles as the locking mechanism when attaching it to the pitcher. These blades are very sharp so be careful when handling it especially when trying to clean it or take it out from the dishwasher! One nice positive about this part is the fact that several other Ninja blenders use the exact same one, making it easier to find spares. The stacked blade assembly consists of three layers of curved blade pairs for a grand total of 6 blades. Plus, be sure to watch the video review below to see the Ninja in action. ![]() So is this blender worthy of the “Professional” label or is it a budget offering wearing someone else name tag? In this review I’ll look at what it’s like to use, how well it works, any special features it has, and if I can recommend it for you. Ninja has a couple of these types of blenders including the Ninja Professional Blender 1000 (also known as Ninja Professional BL610) which has a rather budget-friendly price at around $140 CAD. Professional blenders are a better long-term investment as the extra money translates to added years in doing just about anything with the blender. The problem is, using budget blenders outside of their capabilities often results to non-repairable damage to the pitcher or motor. That doesn’t automatically make all blenders in this category terrible but they do often come with major limitations related to the types of food you can blend with it-leafy greens and frozen fruit being the biggest hurdles. I look at budget blenders with a little bit of skepticism because low prices often mean low-quality materials and/or an underpowered motor.
