Is the Ninja CrushBOSS good for crushing ice?

Yes. At 1,850 watts with a stacked blade assembly, it crushes ice for frozen drinks and slushies without much stalling. Use the ice-crush preset and add liquid as the guide recommends.

How big is the pitcher?

The pitcher holds 72 oz, enough for several smoothie servings in one batch. It is a full-size, tall pitcher, so check clearance under your cabinets.

What is the difference between this and a standard Ninja blender?

The CrushBOSS adds Intelligent preset programs and a higher 1,850-watt motor than Ninja's entry models. The core stacked-blade design is the same family.

Can it blend hot liquids?

It is not designed for hot liquids. Let soups and sauces cool before blending, and never fill the pitcher past the maximum line.

Is the pitcher dishwasher safe?

Ninja's full-size pitchers and blades are typically top-rack dishwasher safe, but check the included manual for this model. The motor base must be wiped by hand.

When is the best time to buy it?

Full-size Ninja blenders see the deepest discounts around Black Friday and major sales events. Compare the current price against its recent range before buying.

Our take on the Ninja CrushBOSS Intelligent Blender LB201BR

The Ninja CrushBOSS LB201BR is a 1,850-watt countertop blender with a 72 oz pitcher and Ninja's Intelligent preset programs for smoothies, frozen drinks and crushing ice. The high wattage and stacked blade design put it in the same class as Ninja's other full-size blenders, and the brown finish is a less common colorway. It is built for thick blends and daily use rather than small jobs.
