Ninja Bl201 Kitchen System Pulse

[Jlewis229 191]

OK so I had an OSTER Personal Blender that came with the cup and made it portable to take with you on the go. Well It worked ok but I noticed it made everything EXTREMELY FOAMY and their was usually a few bigger ice chips in the bottom and i just didn't like that! lol

SO I looked online and Walmart(I HATE this place but i digress) had the NINJA BL201 for $79.00(A little pricey BUT well worth it!) which included 2 travel cups with lids & A large regular blender container. I have heard nothing but good about the NINJA products so I thougt, I am going to be blending for the rest of my life, I may as well spend another $50 and be able to use it for my food as well, plus i got an extra cup AND it has a 550Watt motor vs the 250 in the OSTER.

Well when I got home I tried it and WOW, That thing made a slushy out of ice. It literally cut that ice up and made it look kinda look like snow. It melted as soon as you touched it, that is how small the ice crystals were.

Something different about this is that it comes with 4 different blades! 2 are dough blades, it makes pizza & cookie dough! Just what I need LOL!!! 1 goes in the large blender and has 4 blades to cut with, they are extremely sharp and the placement is not like any other. The other is the cup size blade that fits at the top of the cup so you can blend right in the cup, well I immediately noticed just by looking at these that they are Sharp vs the OSTER which had the same looking blades but i could rub my thumb across them and feel nothing but hard metal dull blades. These are actually sharp! You can see the sharpness and I think between actually having sharp blades and 550 Watts makes a HUGE difference!

I know I will be very happy with this & others will be too if you buy it.

Anyway I just wanted to tell everyone about it since I was happy with my purchase!

I also just found this & wish i had bought this one but i didn't see it until now but this is an upgraded version(I guess) it has 700Watts and I thin another cup(3 cups), and is in white...other than that I see nothing different but it is $79.99 http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=401036&catid=290266&aid=337953&aparam=ninja_kitchen_system_pul&CAWELAID=1283752915

Thanks Johnathan!! I was just about to post a question about blenders. I've seen lots of folks post about using the magic bullet, but it has horrible reviews. Good to know there are other options!

I agree... Thanks!

I have this one, the kids use it all the time to make smoothies. It goes right thru ice. I plan to use it a lot after surgery.

I bet it does! It has the same blades as the bigger one on mine...the only reason I bought this over that one was b/c I liked that I could blend with the cups and just go with no clean up b/c I hate extra clean up LOL

And I also thought about the stuff i would be blending and thought if i were to make a big batch of Soup or something I could use that to blend.

AND Most of all I really like to shop and spend money and that is probably why i got the more expensive one HAHA(thats awful! i know lol)

Your most welcome! You will love it if you choose to get it! And yes I read the reviews on those too and was shocked b/c they advertise on tv and I always thought I'd like to have one....until i read the reviews!

Good luck with your sleeve!

I actually have the original ninja that has the motor on top and it blends just as well. I love my ninja and it turns any frozen product into slush. This one is about $40.00 at Walmart, if you can't afford the other one. It's a great blender and food processor.

That's probably the one I would prefer! My current blender is on its last leg so would be nice to replace it with an all-purpose one. I use Tervis Tumblers on a daily basis (love them) and they are great for transporting drinks. I even have the snap-on lids for them so I wouldn't necessarily need the portable blender cups.

I got the Ninja Limited directly from their site about two weeks ago in preparation for this procedure and I absolutely love it. This one comes with the all the attachments you mentioned. I got 4 additional travel mugs and the extended warranty since I'll be using it for some time.

I also love the magic bullet and prefer to use that one for my shakes only because it's more compact. I plan on using the Ninja for my Soups and purrees (when I ever get to that phase). I

(I also had a little spat with the Magic Bullet people. I don't plan on buying another one.... Long story. Not related to the product, just the people selling it).

Both are sitting on my countertop at the ready.
