After making a smoothie, slushy, milkshake or frozen drink — the only thing worse than a brain freeze is having to do extra dishes. As good-looking as it is powerful, this Ninja personal blender makes your drink right into the cup you’ll enjoy it out of, which just so happens to look like the ever-viral Stanley cup.
Aptly named the “Blendboss,” it’s a compact blender with a versatile, shatterproof, dishwasher-safe, 26-ounce bason that you can take with you as a travel tumbler. Even better? It’s currently on sale at Walmart, Target and Amazon, saving you up to 30% off at Walmart and Target and 15% off at The Big A.
Don’t be fooled by its compact size and charming Stanley-esque colors, reviewers say the blender “works like a champ” and “chews through ice like nobody’s business,” making it worth every penny.
Say goodbye to clunky, heavy blenders that take up too much space and are a pain to clean. The Blendboss is a straightforward machine with four easy-control buttons to help ensure you get your ideal texture, every time. Simply hit the “smoothie,” “ice crush” or “blend” modes for the machine to do the work for you, or hit “pulse” for short bursts of power.
Shoppers are “thrilled to death,” with this compact Ninja for its blending prowess. “It blends everything so smoothly that the texture and taste are just like a smoothie you’d buy from a café or juice bar—thick, creamy and perfectly blended with no chunks,” one said. “It’s powerful, fast, and makes at-home smoothies feel like a store-bought treat every time.”
The futuristic base weighs just over 5 pounds and measures less than 7 inches across, making it easy to move or to add to any counter. Users appreciate how little space it takes up, and agree it makes an eye-catching addition to their counter, that they’re happy to display 24-7. “The whole thing is aesthetically pleasing,” N. Buscher wrote. “When you grab your cup and go, the base looks modern and doesn’t scream, ‘Hey, I’m just half a blender sitting here!’”
The hard plastic tumbler has a leakproof top that opens into an easy-sip spout, with a removable straw — all of which can go into the dishwasher.
The real star of the show is the handled tumbler, which, as one reviewer notes makes the “whole set-up look like a Stanley.”
“The 26oz tumbler is fantastic,” Murphy’s Mom wrote. “It has a handle (YES!), a chug spout, a detachable straw and it is truly leakproof. I’ve tossed it in a bag and carried it around with no spills, no drama.”
Whether you carry it around or use it in your car, shoppers say the tumbler feels comfortable in your hand and is easy to drink out of. The tumblers are so popular that you can even buy them separately, to mix and match colors and just have more options for your home.
Some say the blender is helping them get more nutrients, calling it an “easier and convenient” way to get more protein, fruits and veggies into their regular diet.
″‘Eat more fruit’ ok. Whatever. Well this Ninja Blendboss makes it super easy to do that,” Dawnie said. “A cup of frozen blueberries, a scoop of vanilla protein powder, a whole banana, one cup of milk and a single cup of any yogurt. WOW is that good. It was super easy to make it.”
Reviewers also say it stacks up tall and strong against other brands — from the NutriBullet (which one reviewer says it beats “in several ways”) to the Vitamix (which one reviewer notes is inferior to this Ninja Blendboss where blending, cleanup and space are concerned.)
People are really loving this sleek blender from Ninja for blending as wonderfully as it looks. Read more 5-star reviews and get one while it’s still on sale.
“This thing is amazing! I was using my bulky vitamix to make smoothies and decided to try the ninja. Not only does it make better smoothies than my vitamix, it takes up less space, looks nicer, and I don’t have to dirty an extra cup. The cup fits the perfect amount for a meal replacement smoothie and I love that it comes with a straw and the chug lid. Very powerful, and easy to use, blended up my spinach completely! Love the programming too, just push one button and let it go, perfect smoothies every time!” — Brielle Dallas
“This little appliance blends like a beast! I’m accustomed to a fairly old budget blender that gets ice jams with only a couple cubes and takes an eternity to blend while screaming for relief. Not this amazing little blender! Blends ice and fruit in a minute! Zero issues! I was shocked to find zero ice chunks in my protein smoothie. The suction cup bottom prevents sliding while in use and the control buttons are easy to use. The instructions are clear and concise and easy to understand and follow. I LOVE being able to drink straight from the blender cup. The way this is designed is phenomenal. I admittedly don’t have high expectations because of what I’m used to using but wow does this put my other blender to shame. It’s going to be so much easier and convenient to incorporate more protein and veggies into my diet with my new Blendboss. I absolutely love it ! Very very happy with this!” — Crazeesane
“I’ve had for a couple of weeks, best purchase ever! I use it literally everyday! Is a bit noisy but is fast so is not annoying, textures are perfect, does not spill, the straw is useful, I love everything about it.” — Nana
“This Ninja smoothie maker is incredible. It blends everything so smoothly that the texture and taste are just like a smoothie you’d buy from a café or juice bar—thick, creamy, and perfectly blended with no chunks.
