Ninja SS151 TWISTi Blender DUO, High-Speed 1600 WP Smoothie Maker & Nutrient Extractor* 5 Functions Smoothie, Spreads & More, smartTORQUE, 34-oz. Pitcher & (2) To-Go Cups, Gray

I Didn’t Know That I Needed This. My last blender is o l d – as in belonged to my parents – and I am at “grandmother age”! My husband wanted to get me the Ninja Nutri Bullet as a gift and I was lukewarm about ordering it…as I said I did not know that I needed this! After some thought though I began looking at various Ninja models and when I saw the Twisti I knew it was the right model for me. More versatile that the Nutri Bullet (imho) and it has a significantly higher wattage, plus it includes the cups that had drawn me to the Nutri Bullet originally.I have only been using this beast for only a day, but I am thoroughly impressed! This machine is just so good!I made fruit and yoghurt smoothies with extra protein today and they were ready in a flash! So good! The parts are all easy to remove and take apart and they are very easy to clean. The container and the cups are made of a quality plastic – like Lexan…sturdy and well made. I question the longevity of the blade assembly simply because it is plastic (old blenders had glass containers and the blades were set into metal), but since I see that replacement parts are available and not very costly I am not worried. I also don’t think that any parts will need replacement any time soon because this machine is very well made. It sits on the counter very securely with gripper suction cups that actually work exceedingly well.Pros:1. Fantastic motor and wattage2. Not huge – does not take up much counter space3. Works thoroughly and quickly4. Has tamper legs that can be rotated as you blend (not available when you are using the cups – only with the large container5. Well made!6. Capable of doing things like making nut butters, crushing ice, and so much more7. Replacements parts like cups, containers, blades, seal rings etc are readily available and not too costlyPossible Cons1. Longevity for plastic parts with the blade assembly ?I am very happy with this blender and think it is a little powerhouse!

The nearly perfect smoothie maker. My gosh, for the price this model beats out anything that’s not 3 times its cost. It’s fun to just press a button and let it do its thing while you either watch, or shift to something else for the 60 seconds it takes. We’ve been through many devices like this, and they’ve all had shortcomings that sent them to the yard sale. Not this one.Let me just comment on a couple of things to keep in mind, that others have already mentioned… the sound IS louder than expected. Most kitchens have hard surfaces by necessity, and the noise is compounded by that. This is NOT a deal-breaker so long as you have quick access to some hearing protection. As a paid musician, I keep a set of over-the-ear hearing protectors nearby (I had a pair already).The other gripe I keep reading is keeping the blade assembly clean. Honestly it’s not that big a deal so long as you have a bristle brush with at least 1” bristles (the longer the better), and… rinse and clean it as soon as you’re finished with it!I expect to have this a long time, and look forward to trying out nut butters and the like soon. I really love it for the power, especially for its size, and the one~touch convenience.

So powerful. I like how powerful it is ! Makes awesome smoothies. The only disadvantage it’s kind of loud but it’s ok for me ! It’s loud because it’s so powerful it will blend all frozen veggies, fruits fresh turmeric and ginger root in 1 min to nice blended smoothies, totally worth it for me

Investigue muchísimo en internet y descubrí que fuera de las vitamix y otras ninja más caras con vasos grandes, esta es la más poderosa del mercado. Vi unos videos y me convenció aunque estaba esperando a encontrarla económica y si me ahorre un buen dinero por esperar la oferta.se siente de super calidad, ensambla perfecto, los sellos se sienten super bien y todo ha funcionado a la perfección.El hielo lo muele bien e incluso si te pasas en un smoothie es tan fuerte que manda todo hacia arriba aunque no lo muela de un jalón.Hice salsa, licuados, smoothies y si pulveriza a otro nivel, la textura es notable. Fuera de que se me rompan los vasos solo temo porque falle el motor o lo electrónico al maneja altos voltajes pero se ve super bien hecha y nunca le echaré cosas bien calientes. Quedé sumamente contento con mi compra y eso que he usado vitamix para hacer cientos de frappes en varios trabajos, esta es la mejor opción para una casa y vale totalmente la pena si la encuentras de oferta.Es tan poderosa que extraño un poco la textura de algunas salsas verdes hechas con licuadoras desafiladas jaja, pero si de eso se tratara ya mejor me las hago a molcajete. Si no necesitas moler cantidades enormes constantemente yo te recomiendo este modelo, en especial si eres fan de los smoothies y las aguas de fruta como yo.Procurare actualizar en el futuro mi reseña.

Great for smoothies. For the past 20 years, or so, I’ve used Bullet blenders to use for single serve smoothies. When the Bullet first came out, it were the only one of it’s type. Each one only lasted about 5 to 7 years, so I’ve had 3 over that time. With each one I’ve had to replace various parts that either broke or wore out. The plastic pieces that you insert the cup into get damaged over time and can’t be replaced. I decided to get something a bit more powerful and robust. I would have preferred it if it was only $99 instead of $120, but the difference only comes to a penny or two a day, so the cost difference is only really psychological when you place your order.Pros:Generous sized cup compared to the bullet. Handles the ingredients that had maxed out in my bulletPowerful, blends smoothies in just a few seconds, a fraction of the time of the bulletRobust design making it much easier to use, and probably last longer, than the Bullet.Easier to keep clean than the bullet.Can work as a normal blenderCons:Fairly noisy. However, it’s on for less than 5 seconds so it’s not a big dealPricey for a single serve smoothie blender. However, it only really comes down to a penny or two a day, and it gives you the option to use as a regular blender when needed.I am extremely happy with the purchase.

Great Little Blender. I just purchased this blender and I love it. I am a smoothie drinker and this works well for me. It is not as quiet as I would like it to be but it is much more efficient than my previously owned blender. Great for the price and its on sale .Smoothie Maker & Nutrient Extractor* 5 Functions Smoothie, Spreads & More, smartTORQUE, 34-oz.

A GIANT in the smoothie world. After enjoying smoothies made in a small $20.00 blender, I knew I needed more horsepower if I was to continue on the smoothie production beltway! I gave the small smoothie maker/blender away and ordered this giant (not as in size but as in reputation), but only after my usual reading reviews and researching on-line. My new Ninja TWISTi arrived very quickly and was exquisitely packed so that there seemed no possibility that any part could be broken this side of its being run over by an 18 wheeler! Assembly was quick, straight forward, and easy (I always read any accompanying information). Excluding the motor base and cord (of adequate length), all of the components are dishwasher safe. The Ninja TWISTi comes with two clear 24oz plastic to-go cups each with a lid. The 34oz clear plastic pitcher seems to hold a wealth of ingredients and turns out large, creamy smoothies (think DQ hold the spoon in the concoction!). That clear plastic is thick, heavy duty, and quite substantial but also imparts a certain satisfaction as you gaze upon your creation during its last seconds in the pitcher before taking that first delightful sip or spoonful, whichever you prefer. This powerful “giant” is 1600WP with 5 preprogrammed functions that take the guess work out of processing; the choices of texture control enable you to create the smoothie of your dreams! The twist tamper aids in pushing the yet unblended ice/frozen ingredients further down into the blade to facilitate the chopping process.I loaded the pitcher to the maximum level with frozen fruit- strawberries, blueberries and banana chunks, then added 1 cup of fat free (sweetened with Splenda) Greek yogurt, 1 scoop of protein powder, and finally added about 1/2 cup of milk. I pressed the button, and she was off to the races! (As an aside, I should have put the milk and yogurt in first, but in my excitement my rational brain went into shut down mode). I used the tamper, admittedly with difficulty because of some arthritis in my hand, to send the fruit deeper in the blade abyss. But before I knew it, my crimson concoction was complete and awaiting the taste test. Yes, it was delicious, but the texture was nothing short of professional. Not only was the texture icily smooth, but my smoothie was also glacially cold, lusciously creamy, and enjoyably yummy. After finishing the entire “giant” smoothie, yes all of it, the disassembly of the Ninja TWISTi was simple and quick. I did not put the components in the dishwasher, but opted to wash them by hand, let them dry, and reassemble my Ninja TWISTi tucking it into its now place of honor (previously occupied by the toaster) in the pantry to await accompanying me on my next smoothie adventure. This entire experience from investigating to operating to cleaning was problem free, super simple, and seemingly quick as The Flash. Neither me nor my family could be happier with our new “Smoothie Queen”! I highly recommend this appliance and encourage anyone who is interested in purchasing a similar appliance to investigate this one. As the saying goes, “Try it; you’ll like it”!Top 3 Likes:-Quality construction-Fast and efficient-PowerfulTop 3 Dislikes:-Difficult to manipulate the tamper effectively for those with arthritis-The pitcher does not lock solidly into place with a click-Only two dislikes!

GREAT Blender for daily use – Easy to clean. I bought this to make smoothies every morning. This is a great blender with several different features. The to-go containers are large, easy to use, easy to fill, easy to drink out of and easy to clean. The blades are powerful and work fast. Has a very small footprint on your counter or stash away in a cupboard. I wish I would have bought this much sooner instead of wrestling with my old clunky blender.

Best Most Powerful Smoothie Maker. The Ninja Twisti is the best smoothie maker ever. I have tried many other brands, but none compare to its 1600 watt motor. It is compact & doesn’t take up much counter space. Yes, it is noisy, but that’s because it’s so powerful. Used it to make great dips, humus & other blended recipes. Love it & highly recommend it!
