Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ BL480

Groovy smoothly – Loved the Ninja IQ ! I used it every day for nearly 3 years for my protein smoothies. Just wish it was a little quieter but a great blender non the less. Show details

Terrible – Warning it is nearly impossible to clean. The base will grow mold around the seal and impossible to clean in the seal crevasse. The seal is very difficult to remove to clean without damaging it. Blender is painfully loud. Bearings in base burnt out. Blends well though. I see new models look the same. Don't buy them without researching these issues. Show details

Find something else – The blade part died twice. Seems to be bad bearings as it seizes up and starts to get loud and smell like buring wire/fuse or similar. Lasted less than 12 months. Show details

Great Nija iQ blender but didn't last long – Chose this blender on good reviews and also because it could crush ice, which it does very well, however it has only been used to test with ice once, which it did very well. Although when we first purchased this blender, i tested and used it daily over a week period just to see if it sood up to the manafactors claims, which it did and i was very… Read more

satisfied. Since that testing period, the blender has probably only been used once a week, so has had little usage, but unfortunately last week it developed an intermitting fault as in, sometimes it just wouldn't start, which gradually became worse and now doesn't work at all. Although the blender is a few years old, it would only have done light work and operated for probable 5 minuets a week, "if that" and sometimes not used at all for many weeks at a time, so i was extremely disappointed when it stopped working as thought i would have had this blender for many more years. Although being happy with this blenders performance, and considering it has only done light work and used very sparring, I don't think I be will buying another [made in China] Ninja iQ blender. Further to my original review and some years on, I decided to try have this blender repaired, but the cost for parts and labour were to high, so came up with a simple fix and I installed an on/off toggle switch that bypassed all the electronic features, and it worked a treat, I now have my Ninja back, only difference is that now its no longer automatic and although i can make the blender do all as before, its now a done manually via the toggle switch.

Fantastic Durable Equipment and A-1 After Sales Service – I completey love this machine. I purchased the Nutra Ninja Auto iQ 1000w six years ago using it every day, sometimes twice if I swim in the morning with a frozen fruit smoothy. I eventually wore out the extractor blade bearing and was pleasantly surprised it was only $34 delivered very quickly from Mann & Noble. When I unpacked it I discovered… Read more

the 6 prongs on the base motor unit, didn't align with blades which is detailed on a bright yellow caution info card within. I called customer service at Mann & Noble who explained this was a rare release and unfortunate for me, so to help they sent another base motor unit so I would be happy at a very generous price. Yes it is a little noisy as its performing an incredible task blending frozen foods so I wear earmuffs to protect my hearing, although the new unit is much quiter i found and dont always need earmuffs. Be very careful to tighten the extractor lid properly or you can have a disasterous leak into the motor. Mine only began to smell electrical after 6 years of use and probably from the bearing failure of pro extractor blade causing duress on the motor. Nutra Ninja represents fantastic value and terrific quality as well as their gold class customer service.

Smoothies to die for – We have used this blender for a while now. It is fantastic for making smoothies. It blends everything well. It has a great blending feature and is easy to use and clean.  Show details

Yeah I love it! – Works really well and blends up the ingredients really well. Good texture and trust and blender every time. Highly recommended and I know you will agree if you try it. Would like more speed options as easy cleaning feature  Show details

Best smoothie blender – Very satisfied with the blending ability for my daily smoothie Easy to use and clean - even the kids can use it The only downside is that it is very loud Show details

Terrible Customer Service. Blades Leak and crack. Very noisy – We recently purchased the Ninja IQ and whilst i initially loved it, my joy soon turned to sadness, as the blade was forever leaking and cracked. I contacted Ninja who said because the blade was not covered under the 12 month warranty they wouldn't replace it. The warranty is rubbish. They take your money and don’t care if you have a problem. Its also really noisy and sounds like a drill. We have to close the door when we use it. Show details

Not a long term investment – The cups have knobs to lock them into the system. These wear down very quickly which then make the system useless and non-operational. Replacement cups are expensive and it is not sustainable to buy new cups every month. Would not recommend at all. Also very very noisy. Show details

Awesome little gadget – This is the first product I have every give 5 stars. An awesome little gadget. I've had the Ninja Auto IQ1000 for nearly two years and it hasn't missed a beat yet. Blends smoothies awesomely, including the green smoothing with 100% vegetables (no juicing first) and as smooth as a smoothy should be. Nearly daily use as well and still going… Read more

strongly after 2 years. Now fingers crossed that I haven't just jinxed it. Purchased The Good Guys Mandurah

Amazing product with various uses! – I was a bit skeptical at first, as I've spent lots of money on blenders before that have been no good. My partner convinced me to get this one and I am in love. It is amazing. Great for smoothies and juices. We make amazing pasta sauces and cashew cheese. Show details

Blends well but too LOUD – It is loud. It will hurt your ears. Otherwise blends really well even with breaking ice with ease. You've been warned, it is loud and gets louder with age. I've had it for 3 years now. Show details

Fantastic Blender – Great blender to make smoothies or blend. Crushes ice well. The pre-programmed buttons work well to ensure the best blend possible. Is loud, but that is expected for a blender that is this powerful. Comes with 3 different size cups Show details

Love it – Easy to use, but can be very noisy. You can use it to make juices, smoothies and even blend foods when cooking. Press one button and the machine starts blending with the right power to match the foods in the cup. It is very easy to clean and maintain, highly recommended. Show details

Compact and easy to use – I love using my ninja for smoothies, pures, dips and dressings. Always blends foods exceptionally with no unpleasant chunks. Comes with a great amount of accessories to accommodate the amount of food you’re blending, and has handy take away cups! Show details

Blades seized – That should be ZERO stars. One day (within 2 years of irregular use), we could start to smell a burnt rubber smell. A few days after that the blades seized and I couldn't even turn the blades by hand. I do not recommend this blender at all. Show details
