Is the Ninja Professional Plus Duo BN753TGT good for crushing ice?

Yes. The 1,400-watt motor and stacked blades are built for ice and frozen fruit, and owners report it handles both without stalling. Use pulse for the most control.

How does it compare with the Ninja Professional blender?

It adds preset Smoothies and Green Smoothies programs and a third blending vessel over the basic Professional model, with similar motor power and pitcher size. Choose it if you want one-touch programs.

What comes in the box?

The motor base, a 72 oz pitcher, and two additional smaller blending vessels, giving three pitchers or cups in total. Blades and lids are included for each.

Are the parts dishwasher safe?

Yes. The pitcher, blades and lids are dishwasher safe, and the blades detach for cleaning. Wipe the motor base by hand.

Is the pitcher plastic or glass?

The 72 oz pitcher is BPA-free plastic. It is lighter than glass but some owners prefer the feel of glass or metal.

Can it handle hot liquids?

It is designed for cold blending like smoothies and frozen drinks. Let hot ingredients cool before blending, and never fill the pitcher past the maximum line.
