- Is the Ninja TB401 good for crushing ice?
- Yes. The 1,800-watt motor and six-blade stack are built for ice and frozen fruit, and owners report it handles both without stalling.
- How does it compare with the Ninja Detect or Professional models?
- The TB401 sits in Ninja's mid-to-upper range with more power and presets than basic models. Step-up Ninja blenders add features like auto-iQ sensing, but the TB401 covers most blending jobs.
- Does the pitcher fit under kitchen cabinets?
- The unit is 17.5 inches tall, so check your clearance. Many standard upper cabinets sit lower than that, and the pitcher must be removed to fit.
- What comes in the box?
- The motor base, a 72-ounce pitcher and three pitchers or cups for single-serve blending, depending on the bundle.
- Are the parts dishwasher safe?
- Yes. The pitcher, lid and blades are listed as dishwasher safe, though hand washing the blade assembly is easier.
- Can it make hot soup?
- It blends purees and can handle warm ingredients, but it does not cook. Heat soup separately and blend in batches.
