- Does it crush ice well?
- Yes. The six-blade Total Crushing assembly is designed for ice and frozen fruit, and owners consistently report snow-like crushed ice in seconds.
- How much can it blend at once?
- The jar is 72 oz with a 64 oz maximum liquid capacity, enough for several large smoothies or a batch of frozen drinks.
- Does it have preset programs?
- No. It has three speeds and a pulse setting, all controlled by a dial, with no automatic smoothie or ice-crush cycles.
- Can the jar go in the dishwasher?
- No. The jar and blade assembly should be hand washed; the motor base is wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Is it good for frozen fruit and thick smoothies?
- Yes. The 1000-watt motor and stacked blades handle frozen fruit and thick blends well, though you may need to pulse and scrape down the sides.
- How does it compare with the Ninja Auto-iQ models?
- The BL610 gives the same crushing power and large jar but without the Auto-iQ preset programs and timed cycles, so it is simpler and more manual to run.
