Is the BN801 worth it over a basic blender?

If you want one machine for smoothies, single-serve cups and chopping or dough, the three attachments make it more useful than a basic blender. If you only blend drinks, a simpler blender does the job with less counter space.

How does it compare with the Ninja BN701?

The BN801 adds a 64 oz. processor bowl and dough mixing to the pitcher and cup setup. The BN701 is a blender only, so it is smaller and simpler but cannot chop or knead.

Can it crush ice and frozen fruit?

Yes. The Total Crushing blades and Auto-iQ presets are built for ice and frozen ingredients, and owners generally report smooth results.

How much dough can the processor bowl handle?

Ninja rates the bowl for up to 2 lbs. of dough. It mixes and kneads, but it is not a stand mixer substitute for heavy or long kneading.

What comes in the box?

The motor base, 72 oz. pitcher, 64 oz. processor bowl, two 24 oz. cups with spout lids and the specialized blades.

Is it dishwasher safe?

The pitcher, cups, lids and blades are top-rack dishwasher safe. The motor base should only be wiped clean.
