How does the BlendBOSS differ from Ninja's other personal blenders?

It adds three Auto iQ programs and a 1200-peak-watt motor to the single-serve format, plus a travel lid with a chug spout and detachable straw. Simpler Ninja personal blenders rely on manual pulse and blend control.

Can it crush ice and frozen fruit?

Yes. Ninja rates the CrushBlade assembly and motor for crushing ice to snow, and the Ice Crush preset runs the pulsing and pausing pattern for it. Load frozen items with some liquid so the blend circulates.

Is the lid really leakproof?

The flip cap is leakproof when locked. Keep it in the locked position in a bag, and use the chug spout or the detachable straw to drink.

What comes in the box?

One 26 oz BlendBOSS travel tumbler, one leakproof easy-sip chug and straw lid assembly, and one Ninja CrushBlade assembly. The motor base is included as well.

Can I blend hot soups or purees in it?

Ninja lists dips, soups and purees among the blade's uses for single-serve portions. Blend and let the cup cool before sealing the lid, since a sealed hot cup builds pressure.

The cup, lid and blade assembly are dishwasher safe and BPA free. Rinse the blade right after blending so residue does not dry on the stainless steel.
