While this high-powered blender works wonders on the typical smoothies, what makes it so impressive is the ability to both blend and heat foods. It can chop, sauté, cook and blend ingredients all on its own and it even has a warming setting to keep your hot mix from going cold. This blender features an 800-watt heating element and manual controls for blending, cooking, pulsing at low, medium, or high speeds. It also comes with 12 different preset programs so you can make smoothies, soups, juices, ice cream, dips, and sauces plus sauté and infuse with the push of a button. The nonstick glass pitcher, self-clean function, and tamper accessory just add to this blender’s luxury.

If you’re looking for a model that can make breakfast and meal prep a breeze then this mini blender/food processor combo is this Ninja model of your dreams. Not only does the Ninja Master Prep work differently than other blenders, but it also looks different, too. In place of manual settings, one large button controls everything from the power to the pulsing and blending, and instead of a motor base, this uses an interchangeable 450-watt power pod that fits on top of its custom containers. Which includes a 48-ounce pitcher for blending liquids, a 40-ounce bowl for food processing, a 16-ounce bowl for chopping, and two storage lids.

Ninja BL610 Professional Countertop Blender

The Ninja BL610 Professional Blender is perfect if you’re searching for a simple but sturdy blender to make the best blended drinks—without breaking the bank. With just four settings, low, medium, high, and pulse, this isn’t the blender to use for complicated concoctions. However, what this model lacks in fancy functions it makes up for with serious wattage. Its 1,000-watt motor effortlessly crushes frozen goods and blends them into a puree that’s silky smooth. The 72-ounce container can fit up to 8 cups and is safe to toss in the dishwasher after use.

Ninja BL642 Nutri Ninja Personal and Countertop Blender

This heavy-duty model comes with smart features like Auto IQ timers but it also has some impressive additions that make this blender stand out. Starting with its high-performance 1,200-watt motor that powers its Nutri Ninja Pro extractor blades which can break down whole fruits, vegetables, ice, and seeds for maximum nutrient and vitamin extraction. The 72-ounce Total Crushing Pitcher pulverizes ice to snow in seconds for creamy frozen drinks and smoothies that can be poured into an 18, 24, or 32-ounce to-go cup with a “sip and seal” lid for nutrient-rich drinks on the go.
