 Definitely recommend this to anyone who hates spending time with food prep!That’s pretty much the summary statement for the time-saving Ninja QB900B Master Prep Chopper, Blender, Food Processor that I just bought.
Nothing I own has done more to shave serious time off of my food preparation adventures!

2nd place goes to my COSORI Mini 2.1 Qt 7-in-1 Multi-Functional Programmable Pressure Cooker (also purchased on Amazon).with the combination of the Ninja and the Cosori, I spent more time thinking about what I wanted to eat, than I did actually preparing the food!

I was a little bit cautious in buying a chopper. I figured I needed one to keep from cutting vital parts of my anatomy – mainly my fingers, as I’m a guitarist and I need my factory-issued ten digits. Mandatory.

RESEARCH – RESEARCH – RESEARCH!So I did my research (as I am a research scientist/computer programmer) and I was going to buy one of those finger guards or cut-proof gloves ($10 – $20) and then I began to think about it and decided that a food chopper would be better suited.

So I looked into those manual pressing jobs, but the only one that I thought would last for the duration was a $125 one and I said, “No way!”

So then I looked at one of those manual, pull string gizmos, that remind me of a lawnmower starter.
 I almost got one, I actually ordered one and then canceled the order in less than five minutes after reading the reviews on a few of these types of units.

The key to getting a good product is not to look at the five-star ratings, but rather the 1 to 2 star ratings.
These will tell you far more than the 4 and 5-star ratings which people are gushing over. I’ve found that people will usually go much farther in describing what’s wrong with a product than they will about how good something is. Probably because they’re enjoying the product too much to write about it.

Because the Ninja Food Processor saved me soooo much time, I figure I have the time to write this and still have saved time.
ACTUAL OPERATION
The operation of the machine is a breeze.

You do have to chop your veggies into 1-1/2 inch portions just to fit them into the bowl. I’ve only used the smaller bowl and will test out the larger one later – my guess is that it will save even more time as I’ll be able to add whole peppers at a time.This thing is so fast and amazing (and relatively quiet too) that you have to be careful not to liquify your veggies.
I literally pulsed the control button two or three times and it went to work like nothing I’ve ever seen.

MAINTENANCE NOTESThe instructions say not to operate it for more than 15 seconds a pulse. This limit will probably turn a brick into butter. LOL! (It even does ice. Wow!)

Cleanup was incredibly fast. I hate to clean. Hate it! But this was the fastest I’ve cleaned up on any appliance I have!

And no tears from onions and I don’t have to handle peppers as much, so washing my hands afterwards is much faster. If you prep jalapeños and green peppers, it takes a awhile to scrub off the juice. And believe you me, I’ve had my share of running to the faucet to flush my eyes due to the pepper juice! Complete bummer!

RELIABILITYThe unit is so sturdy and efficient, that I doubt that it will ever break down. This is due to the fact that it takes less than 2-3 seconds to complete any job.

The only part I see wearing out are the blades, but they’re razor sharp and should probably last 6 months to a year.Now I’m not being paid to write this and I even bought a refurbished unit for $24, but I can tell you that if it only lasted one year, I would have made my money back many times over in saved time.

 And even if I’d of bought one brand new (for $15-$20 more) it would have been well worth it!ADDITIONAL NOTESThat’s about it. The unit was sooo good, that it inspired me to spend a little more time than I planned on this review, but if it can help others to get a great product, save time (and fingers!) then it’s definitely worth it.
About the only thing it doesn’t do is stuff like French fries and anything that needs to be uniformly cut (for presentation) but the fact that is also doubles as a blender makes it well worth it, as the dicing like press products don’t have the blending ability that the Ninja has, and in actuality it produces very nicely chopped food as a result of it being a quality product!
Thank you Amazon and all of its reviewers! And thank you Ninja Kitchen for such a fine product!

OK, now my carrot, sweet pepper, jalapeño, green pepper, rice lentil, split pea soup in my Cosori Pressure Cooker is about ready. I’m gonna settle down to a nice meal that only took 10-12 minutes to make. As opposed to the usual 25-30 minutes.
I’d give the Ninja 10-stars if I could. As a bachelor who works out of his home-office, I couldn’t be happier.

Sincerely, Billi!

Great. I’ve owned several of these!! Such a great option. I store the motor in an upper cabinet. I drilled a hole into the bottom of that cabinet near the back. Not visible at all from the front of the cabinets. Then I ran a short cord splitter up into the cabinet from the closest outlet. The cord lays flat and matches my walls. (I flipped the outlet upside down so the plug would lie flat.) I use one side of the cord for the ninja motor. Now I can keep it all off the counter. But I don’t have to take it out and plug it in for each use. I just pull down the pitcher from one shelf, fill it, put it on the counter just below the cabinet it belongs in. I use the motor from the cabinet. And then put the motor back up. It’s fast to clean up. So I can still use it daily without it taking up counter space. And no visual clutter on the counter.I like that the motor on this doesn’t heat up the contents and reduce nutrients. I prefer it to a vitamix. I replace it every 3-4 years. But it’s so much cheaper.I’ve also been able to replace my food processor with this. It’s great for a minimalist kitchen.

I love this! It’s easy to clean. I bought this for making frappes and it works like a charm. It is way easy to clean and dishwasher safe. The motor is at the top so you never have to clean that part since there’s a splash shield. It grinds ice into a fine powder in seconds. it’s great for icees and frappes.
