The Verdict.

8.5/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

The value full-size. Ice and smoothies at about $120. Not a Vitamix — and it does not need to be if frozen drinks are the job.

Precision Engineering

1,400 Peak Watts

Ninja's step up from the BL610. Enough stacked-blade power to snow a pitcher of ice.

72-Ounce Total Crushing Pitcher

64-oz max liquid. Family batches, not a 32-oz personal cup.

3 Auto-iQ Programs

Smoothie, frozen drink, ice cream. Timed pulse/blend/pause so you are not babysitting the pitcher.
