Is the Ninja BL770 worth it over a basic blender?

If you want one machine for smoothies, chopping and dough, the included bowl and cups add real value. For smoothies alone, a simpler blender costs less.

How does it compare with the Ninja BL660?

The BL770 adds the food processor bowl, dough blade and personal cups, and has more power. The BL660 is a blender-only unit.

Yes. The 1,600-watt motor and stainless steel blades handle ice and frozen fruit, though it is loud while doing so.

The motor base, 72 oz pitcher with lid, 8-cup bowl with lid, dough blade, two 16 oz cups and the blade assemblies.

How big is the pitcher?

The pitcher is 72 oz with a 64 oz maximum liquid fill, enough for several large smoothies.

Does the dough blade handle bread dough?

The dough blade is made for mixing and kneading dough in the 8-cup bowl. Owners say it works for everyday batches, but the motor and plastic bowl suit lighter doughs better than stiff, heavy ones.
