F.A.Q. \u2013 Frequently Asked Ninja Blender Questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWe thought it best to provide you with some generalities and specifics pertaining to Ninja blenders. You will find all that you need to know here in our F.A.Q. section. If you still do not find what you want answered, call on your Ninja\u2019s customer support (1-877-646-5288. Monday-Saturday 7 AM \u2013 11 PM, EST and Sunday 9 AM \u2013 8 PM, EST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. How are Ninja food processors different from ordinary or traditional food processors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt ups the horsepower game and brings you high levels of it compared to any other (pardon our using the word\u2026) inferior food processor. The technology is such that you have three peak horsepower settings to work with. This means salsas, doughs, sauces, dips, smoothies, purees, and a whole lot more that could never be done before with the same speed and relative ease (i.e., efficiency). You need different speeds for different culinary tasks. Enter, patent pending precision speed control features on Ninjas with specialty engineered gear systems. Just talking about it is making us go giddy with excitement at the possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Will the blades one day decide to rust?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe do not use the words \u2018high quality\u2019 lightly. Believe us when we say that high quality stainless steel is superior to its lesser counterparts (duh). The chopping blades and pitcher blades are both made from them, not merely coated with them. This is what makes them safe for use in dishwashers and, of course, rust-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. I demand more recipes for my Ninja! I can\u2019t get enough of this awesome blender.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nKeep calm and carry on to: www.ninjakitchen.com\/recipes\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. How many ounces can the Nutri Ninja cup carry if the Nutri Ninja cup can carry ounces at all?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe just played with words in that question. The answer is a full 16 ounces where capacity is concerned; for Nutri Ninja cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. What is the warranty scenario on these Ninjas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe best Ninja blender models come carrying 1-year warranties while others show a nice 2-year stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Here\u2019s the thing\u2026 I have a Ninja with a 72 oz. (ounce) pitcher. How on earth do I close the pour spout on it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThere is a built-in pressure release system for these pour spouts that grants them a super-tight seal. Never force this open (you already attempted that, didn\u2019t you?). Find the solid black inner piece, and lift it up gently. Push down on the pour spout\u2019s front and it will lock down. You will hear an audible sound as the spout snaps shut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Oh my god! The noise! Make it stop!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy are the Ninja blenders so loud? There were times we asked that ourselves. The powerful motor is to blame. Several models boast 2 horsepower or 1500 watt motor potential, and a handful of other models enjoy something slightly less muscled. With a Ninja model like Ultima Kitchen System, for example, you have a whopping 3 horsepower motor. That loud noise is the roar of victory, my friend. Enjoy the evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. I keep reading \u2018Dual Stage Blending\u2019 when I come across several Ninja models. Care to explain?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe mentioned Ninja\u2019s patent pending gear system in one of the answers above. This feature is responsible for the Ninja\u2019s high torque Total Crushing Technology as well as the super-speedy cyclonic blending in their signature jars that cannot be replicated by any other processor; not anytime soon anyway. All the ingredients are crushed and liquefied, granting you every ounce of nutrition in the blend; nothing is wasted. \u2018Dual\u2019, as in two sets of blades made to rotate at varying speeds. The motion makes quick work first of large or thick chunks in the ingredients pool, then the smaller ones. All in all, you get an ideally smooth smoothie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Is the Dual Stage Blending exclusive to the Ninja line of blenders? Or can I find them in traditional versions?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNope, you cannot find them in any other food processor. This makes them exclusive to the Ninjas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10. Also, you mentioned \u2018high speed cyclonic blending\u2019. I need to know more. Regale me, if you please.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSpinning high speed blades at an impressive 24,000 RPMs (rates per minute) encourages the breaking down of whole fruits and veggies and produces a blend with creamy consistency. This is possible thanks to the High Speed Cyclonic technology going into Ninja blenders large and small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11. Sorry to be such a pedant, but tell me more about the \u2018Total Crushing Technology\u2019 you also mentioned.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSpinning 4 stacked blades at the jaw-dropping speed of 5,000 RPMs (rates per minute) governs the blending process that transforms tough ingredients like ice, nuts, and frozen fruits into an even blend. This dream is made real thanks to the Total Crushing Technology integrated into Ninjas near and far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12. To what use can I put the Nutri Ninja cups? I have a bunch of my own, and they look more presentable at times.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you have better-looking ones, sure, use them by all means. It\u2019s just that Nutri Ninja cups come specifically designed to hold sauces, dips, smoothies, fruit juices, salad dressings, and so much more. They are also easier to clean and more durable. They contain no BPA plastics going into their make and they are dishwasher-safe. You can use the cup itself like the pitcher, and blend using the same horsepower to make smoothies-on-the-go. You can also fit them on most car cup holders. You can use the pulse feature too, when the cups are attached to the blender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13. These super-awesome blades. What are they made of?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn case you did not catch one of the answers earlier (about rust risk), these blades are made entirely of stainless steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14. Wait, let me stop drooling before I ask this next one\u2026 Can I make ice creams with a Ninja?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStop, you are making us<\/em> drool. Of course you can make ice creams, and let\u2019s not forget sorbets. Use the Ninja\u2019s XL pitcher, add your favorite fruits and throw in a few dollops of ice cream. If you want yogurt smoothies, add milk and yogurt to some fruits in the pitcher. You will find recipes on the Ninja website. Yummy, ain\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n15. The power light. It just keeps blinking. Maddening, I tell you. How do I make the light stop blinking?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are sat there expecting some fancy techno-power answer to this, there isn\u2019t any. You have not assembled the Ninja properly, that\u2019s the issue. The pitcher lid needs to be aligned right; lid arrow needs to line up with handle arrow. Press down on the handle until you hear that satisfying click. Another problem factor could be over-heating. Heavy loads (greedy, greedy) can put pressure on the motor, resulting in over-heating, and eventual motor shut-off; the light blinks too. Turn off the Ninja, plug it out of the wall socket, wait 15 minutes, and get back to it. Simplest advice: it\u2019s time to read the user manual; honest, it contains better specifics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
16. Mmm, hot soup, I could use some of that right now. Can I make some in the Ninja?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSorry to burst your soupy bubble, but no, no, and again no. Heat and cold extremes can result in spider-web fractures or cracks on the blender jar material. While ice is good, freezer storage isn\u2019t. Warm does not make for good soup but hot does. No hot stuff in the blender, please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17. If I remove the top blades, will the Ninja still run?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nQuite the engineer, aren\u2019t you. Well, some recipes call for only the fixed bottom blades, so you can work without the modular top blades if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18. There is an electronic slow start? I did not know that. Come to think of it, I do not know what it does either.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis feature controls blade speeds, meaning it gradually ramps up the selected setting. This leads to proper blending without ingredients flying all over the inside of the pitcher when it starts up; like something out of a horror movie [evil grin]. Imagine if hard ingredients like peanuts and seeds were to splatter the insides of the pitcher. It will keep ingredients from being fully incorporated into the blend. Chunks, seeds, nut bits, etc. might remain unblended. Rest easy, the electronic slow start feature makes everything better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
19. I know you said the Ninjas are dishwasher-safe. But, as embarrassing as it may sound, how exactly do I clean them quickly?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSimple steps\u2026 2-3 drops of dish soap in a jar, fill halfway with warm water (never hot), use the blender\u2019s pulse technology and pulse 10 times. That\u2019s a quick clean. As for the dishwasher, we are sure the dishwasher knows what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
21 . How do I clean the parts that do not go in the dishwasher?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe motor base springs to mind. Use a damp cloth to clean the base. Give the following to the dishwasher: lids, cups, bowl, blades, and pitcher. Remember to place the lids, cups, and blades on the top rack. The blades are extremely sharp, needless to say caution while handling is strongly advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
22. The Ninjas are made of BPA-free plastic, right? This means some of the parts are microwave-friendly, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCorrect on the BPA-free part, wrong on the microwave-friendly part. They are not safe for microwave use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
23. I want to buy some parts for my Ninja blender? Any commercial portal I can check out?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCheck out the official one before you leap on Amazon. Between the two, you will find what you seek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
24. If I have a couple of Ninjas at home, can I interchangeably use their parts?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNope, the parts that came on one Ninja cannot be used on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
25. What is the highest capacity a Ninja pitcher can work with?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThat will be 72 oz. (ounces) worth of ingredients. The maximum recommended liquid capacity is 64 oz. (ounces) for the bowl; if your model comes with one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
26. Is there a \u2018right time\u2019 to use the bottom blades on these Ninjas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you want the best purees in the world for use in making sauces, soups (cool or room temperature, not warm or hot), and of course purees, the bottom blades are the tools for the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27. What sort of veggies and fruits can I drop into the blender?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThere isn\u2019t really a \u2018ban\u2019 on any fruits or veggies, the Ninjas pulverize them all in equal measure. Throw in the fruits\/veggies you need, play with delicious combos, and don\u2019t forget that Ninjas can also blend stems, seeds, and cores (pips included) for added nutrition value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
28. The Ninja\u2019s have Nutrient & Vitamin Extraction? I thought that was obvious.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNot at first, it isn\u2019t. Traditional blenders cannot merge some of the more nutrient-rich parts of fruits and veggies. The Ninjas can. This is what it means when they say they \u2018extract\u2019 it all into a super-healthy smoothie. Blends contain pulp, juices do not, and yet juices made using Ninjas contain the fiber content found otherwise in pulps. Plant nutrients, trace elements, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, you name it, a Ninja can extract them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
29. Can the Ninja wield frozen ingredients with as much aplomb as it does any other?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile you do not put the pitcher in the freezer (big no-no), the blender can summon its Total Crushing blade technology to make short work of frozen ingredients in the blender jar. Use the pulse feature several times to get optimum consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
30. How do I use the different speed settings?<\/strong>That depends entirely on the recipe and function needed. Your best Ninja blender user manual or other reading resources that came with the package will have guidelines on how to use speed settings for that model; an overview. However, when using the cups, run the blender on single-serve setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n31. Help! The blender refuses to turn on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCheck if it is assembled properly. Check if it is plugged in; yes, you heard us right. The handle should be facing the front left or front right of the blender base. Do what needs doing until the power light is solidly on; no blinking. Sometimes, while using Nutri Ninja cups, the blender might turn off after thirty seconds. The Ninja\u2019s built-in timer automatically shuts off after thirty seconds when using the continuous blend function with the cup attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
32. The food processor bowl in some Ninja models come with two lids? Isn\u2019t that overkill?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThese bowls come designed with a feed shoot lid and drizzle hole lid. When dough or chopping blades are used in the bowl, use the drizzle hole lid. You can stream ingredients through this hole while the processor is running. When disc attachments are used in the bowl, use the feed shoot lid. You can push food down through this hole using the two-part pusher. This is ideal for shredding, grating, and slicing tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
33. The blender is on but the blade does not rotate. I have no idea how this is even possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s possible, if or when the pitcher or cup is over-filled. Turn the Ninja off, unplug it, remove some ingredients (eenie-meenie-miney-mo time) and continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
34. I have assembled everything to perfection, the feed shoot lid and disc attachment included. I\u2019m awesome, I know that now. BUT the power light is still blinking at me like it does not recognize my awesomeness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou are using the feed shoot lid. This means the lid has to be ideally locked into place. No big deal, simply push forward on the black lid lock tab; or the motor will not run. If the light is still confused, check to see if the disc attachment and bowl are properly assembled. You\u2019re awesome, you can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Final Blend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTake your time exploring the diverse best price ninja professional blenders in the Ninja range. We assure you it will be worth your time. They each bring something special to your health blending requirements. Sometimes, cheaper is better, less powerful is great, and big things come in small packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be free while choosing, and take your time. That blender, and the result of the time spent searching for it, will serve you adequately for years to come, and you will never get bored of using it on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
