Product Review – Ninja Ultima Blender BL810

Ninja Ultima Blender BL810 looks to be aptly named because of the reason it is lethal and ridiculously effective like ninjas. This blender comes with a pretty decent cost considering its values that are capable of competing with some of the high-profile ones. This ninja machine is all set to provide you with the most effective to help you get some of the most delicious smoothies. Let’s have a look at the Ninja Ultima Blender BL810 review below (from Amazon):

Keeps pace with the more expensive competitors

It comes pretty well when it is about keeping pace with the more expensive competitors like Vitamix 7500 and Blendtec Wildside blender for a price of half of those. When we tested Ninja professional blender with the Vitamix, it came out very satisfactory for around $260 against the Vitamix and Blendtec’s price of around $530 and $450 (approximate.) respectively. However, both these competitors are also excellent home appliances, but if you consider the combination of both a great price and value, then the Ninja Ultima BL810 Kitchen System leaves you with no competition.

How suitable the great value product is for you

This powerful blender will likely be considered when you have many rigorous tasks in hand. But to meet your more straightforward demands, you should be contented with the $39.99 Hamilton Beach Smoothie Smart (Model 56206). If, however, you want a beast that can blend through virtually anything and replace many of your small appliances in your home, like the meat grinder and the food processor. Then, this Ninja kitchen system does provide excellent value.

Featured configuration for this powerhouse blender

This powerhouse blender configures 1,500 watts, 2.5 H/P, and variable speeds ranging from 3,700 to 24,000rpm. It’s loud, and so does what you can expect with the Ninja, which is more effective than stealthy. It measures 18-inches high at the tallest point, 8-inches wide countertop footprint, and a depth of 9.5 inches.

How well it performs

Regarding its performance, it surely satisfies you especially, considering its price. We have put this into a few tests where some have been the preliminary ones like crushing ice, making pesto, smoothies, and pancake batter. Some of these tests were rigorous, though, such as entire milling almonds into the almond flour and then turning that into almond butter to make whipped cream, and tests that determine if the blender is capable of grating/shredding/blending a whole 8-ounce sharp cheddar cheese block.

So far, we know that the Ninja can handle some rugged tests that need high power and post similar results with half the price as both of them cost.

Tips for using Ninja Ultima Blender

Although the Ninja Ultima is an easy-to-use blender, it requires one to be a little more hands-on than the other comparably sized blenders. For instance, you need to lock the pitcher in place by turning it clockwise. Then, to start the blender, the lid has to be on the pitcher and secured by locking its handle downward. It can be an annoyance for some, but at the same time, it is a safety precaution that comes with the power and number of high-speed blades in it. This user manual can make making the most out of these customization features and different blend settings easier.

When it comes to cleaning the blender, it comes with proper instructions regarding how to clean it. Just beware of the blades to hand-clean them to get the sense of extra protection using the best ninja blender.

Why you should buy this

Ninja comes with some of our favorite features, such as the 72-ounce blender jar that also signifies the machine’s large capacity, as usually nobody needs that much capacity all the time. In addition, it has a removable blade (quad blade or vertical blade type) reaching up to the height of the blender to make this large pitcher a more functional one. Removing is very handy for large quantities of food as the additional blades can make short work of the blending process. However, the bottom blades can be more than sufficient for smaller tasks.

Another favorite aspect of the Ninja line of products is the options they come with. The Ninja Ultima blender BL810 doesn’t support single-serve cups or not like a food processor either. The Ultima BL810 has two 16-ounce single serving size cups that are to be hooked directly onto the blender base using a quad blade lid. You can trade this for traditional to-go cup lids once your smoothie gets blended. It has a potential feature to allow the smoothie in the to-go cup to be made in five pulses which allows you to have it later.

Although it lacks the presets, they surely make this up with the power dial and the switch like the Vitamix. If this is flipped up, it can blend consistently. A one-year warranty (limited manufacturer’s warranty) allows you to have total control over its function and power.

Drawbacks

The bulky look and the fact about keeping track of the various accessories can be frustrating. Due to their tinted blender jug or angular shape, they look so much bulkier compared to the similar category KitchenAid blenders. Another setback is the lack of presets like the Breville Hemisphere Control Blender or the Blendtec blenders.

Note: Sometimes, people tend to call it “Ninja Ultimate Blender BL810” rather than “Ultima.” Both are the same as we reviewed above.
