I just needed a fast, and convenient blender for pre and post workouts. I suffered with the shortcomings of the Blendjet for the last couple of years...I spend $99 on it and wasn't about to just toss it for not being "ideal". Well, I finally had enough of it not being powerful enough, the circumference of the cup not being wide enough (causes power spillage/mess) ...and it stopped charging. But the Ninja Blast Max..not only is POWERFUL...cleans waaaay easier..has 3 settings instead of just 1...has a removable cup so I can take my shaker with me to the gym or work..it has a wide mouth circumference for pouring in my powders.... it honestly ticks ALL THE BOXES...and the best part is that it's about 40% more affordable! Thoroughly impressed. Review: Works great - Ninja has a reputation for producing great products for the home. Thus, I was looking forward to getting and using this blender. I love a smoothie. I have tried other blenders especially since for health purposes my provider has recommended 1-2 smoothies a day. First, it needs to be charged. The charger is packed inside the blender itself. Plug it in to charge before use. It does take a long time. Don't plan to use that day. The instructions are easy to read and follow. There is a little recipe booklet included along with a guide for what to add and the order to add the items. There is a good explanation about errors that can occur with the blender and how to correct them. The container itself has the markings for what you add - 6 ounces minimum of liquid. It has a max fill line. It comes with good instructions and a great guide for making your smoothies: liquid, fresh fruits, leafy greens, sticky stuff, and frozen fruits/ice. You are cautioned if you add more frozen fruits you may need to add more fluid. I added an 8 ounce protein supplement shake, a banana and a cup of frozen strawberries. It was so easy to use. Power on. When the white lights were on, pressed the smoothie button and let it do its thing. It will power on and off for a minute or more. Remove the vessel from the motor, push the button on the lid and drink. The texture was just right. You have the option of taking just the vessel or taking both the vessel and motor (for remixing later). I only have 1 complaint and it isn't worth subtracting a 1 star. It is an irritation though. It should have a standard USB-C charger instead of the one it has that is a dedicated charger. I do recommend the mixer because of the power, versatility, and ease of use. Great for smoothies, milkshakes and more. We made daiquiris and they turned out perfect.
