- Is the Ninja Professional Plus good for crushing ice?
- Yes. The 1400-watt motor and four blades crush ice for frozen drinks, though it runs loud while doing so.
- How big is the pitcher?
- The pitcher holds 32 oz, enough for about two large smoothies. It is 6 inches wide and 10 inches tall, so it fits under most cabinets.
- Does it come with single-serve cups?
- Yes, four single-serve cups are included, so you can blend and drink from the same cup.
- Can the parts go in the dishwasher?
- The pitcher, cups and detachable blades are dishwasher-safe. The motor base should be wiped by hand.
- How does it compare with a Vitamix?
- The Ninja has fewer speeds and a plastic pitcher, but it costs far less and handles everyday smoothies and ice well.
- Is it loud?
- Yes. Like most high-wattage blenders, it is loud at top speed, so expect noise during ice crushing.
- Where is the Ninja Professional Plus cheapest?
- At Sam's Club, for $169.00, as of our latest check.
