Ninja Intelli-Sense Kitchen System CT682

I want to start by saying I have a lot of kitchen gadgets and appliances. I was hoping the Ninja Intelli-sense Kitchen System would replace my old blender, my old Cuisinart food processor, a hand mixer and the Nutri bullet. I really wanted to love this product but unfortunately it just wasn’t what I thought it would be. The good: The Ninja Intelli-sense Kitchen System is sleek looking and would be great if I didn’t already have all these other kitchen appliances. It’s a great space saver if you only want one mixing kitchen appliance. I really like the suction cups that hold the base to the counter. There are release handles to release the suction cups from the counter when you want to move it. It has a cord wind up space on the back for easy cord storage.

The good: The Ninja Intelli-sense Kitchen System is sleek looking and would be great if I didn’t already have all these other kitchen appliances. It’s a great space saver if you only want one mixing kitchen appliance. I really like the suction cups that hold the base to the counter. There are release handles to release the suction cups from the counter when you want to move it. It has a cord wind up space on the back for easy cord storage. Clean up is quick and easy just rinse and toss in the dish washer. The tops all have a nice lock feature and handle to lift them off the pitcher or processor bowl. The single smoothie lid has a flip top and screws into the inside of the cup instead of the outside of the cup like the Nutri bullet cup. So, no drippy mess when you take the lid off. The food processor attachment makes great pizza dough and is faster than my Cuisinart food processor (big bonus in my house) and does a nice job with cookie dough too. The blender attachment chops ice great and is great for large batch smoothies. The Intelli-sense buttons automatically pulse depending on what you’re making. The bad: It’s really loud, louder than my other appliances. The smoothie cup maker doesn’t do a good job on kale, pineapple or blueberries or anything that would require a really good blending. It left little chunks in my smoothie. I had to press the smoothie button a few times to get it smoother and less chunky. The food processor was lacking in making hummus smooth and creamy. It also left tiny chunks. The blender carafe made a great smoothie but they were insanely aerated. All that being said, if I didn’t already have a bunch of appliances that did what this could do I would probably keep it but for me this was not a winner. However, if you’re looking to get one appliance that does everything this kitchen system has a lot of great features and should definitely be considered.

Ninja is the best blender ever, will never change, I’ve only recently upgraded from the very first ninja ever that came out until now, and that’s only because i dropped the pots and they cracked otherwise it was still working perfectly. Now I have this beauty it blends beautifully like I knew it would, let’s hope it last as long as my oldie did. The only thing I don’t like, is that it’s very noisy, but what blender isn’t, wish they made those covers like the pro ones have so it wasn’t as noisy. Other than that, a perfect blender, worth the money it cost. Oh and May I add, I love the accessories that go with it!!

This is the best blender I have ever owned. I've never had a Blendtec or Vitamix, so I couldn't tell you how the Ninja compares, but I love this blender! It makes frozen drinks nice and smooth and I haven't had one ice chunk yet. The processor bowl is great for making salsa and dicing onions and cilantro. The amount of.chop is just right and saves me time and energy from manually chopping, it's super convenient! I've been using this blender almost every day since I've bought it and haven't had any major issues. The only thing I would say is be careful when you're cleaning it. Use the soft side of a sponge to clean the plastic or you'll scratch it like I did using the scrubber side of it. I could see the potential for issues down the road with the plastic becoming ... MoreThis is the best blender I have ever owned.

I've been using this blender almost every day since I've bought it and haven't had any major issues. The only thing I would say is be careful when you're cleaning it. Use the soft side of a sponge to clean the plastic or you'll scratch it like I did using the scrubber side of it. I could see the potential for issues down the road with the plastic becoming brittle, because everything is made of plastic besides the blades. It seems like high quality plastic, but I feel like it'll probably deteriorate after a prolonged period of use. It does take up a lot of counter space if you decide to leave the processor bowl, pitcher, and individual cup bundled in the corner underneath a cabinet. My cabinets are a little too low and the motor base and pitcher too tall to store together, so they have to stay separated when not in use. The individual blender cup is great too, it's much more effective and whips breakfast smoothies up way faster and easier than my old bullet blender, and on the first try too. Overall, I am very pleased with this blender/processor system, I would most certainly buy it again or recommend it to someone who was wanting the power and results of a high end blender system but at a budget-friendly price.
