Fred & Friends Ninjabread Men Cookie Cutters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These cookie cutters are awesome! I thought they were metal, but they're plastic, which I prefer, as they don't rust and they're easier to clean.
My advice is to work with a stiff, chilled dough. For good measure, once the cookies were cut, I laid them on parchment paper on a cookie sheet, then popped them into the freezer for a few minutes to set them before baking.
They came out great! My friends loved them!

Ninja Blender - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I drink a lot of smoothies that contain frozen fruit and various vegetables. I was using a standard blender that could be purchased anywhere for normal household use. It was not powerful enough to handle all of the frozen fruit and items that I threw in it and the motor burnt out very quickly. I purchased the Ninja Blender to replace it, and here is my feedback after using it daily for two weeks:
Perks:
It is very powerful. I can fill it full of frozen fruit, various vegetables and greens, and it blends them very quickly and effortlessly. For that, I love it! It is easy and safe to use, even my children can operate it safely. It has a large pitcher that is easy to pour from. It is easy to clean-no need to disassemble it, the design is brilliant in that the parts are solid and well constructed, and easy to remove from the base to wash.
Downfalls:
It DOES NOT blend to a smooth consistency! If the most important feature of a blender for you is that it blend the contents smoothly, this IS NOT the blender for you. It does break everything down quickly and efficiently-power is not a problem. But no matter how long you blend the contents, they will still be grainy or "minced" at best. In other words, I must still "chew" my smoothie a bit. I believe it is the shape of the blades that are the downfall of this blender.
Because I blend daily and demand a lot from the blender, yet cannot afford the $300-400 units that would blend the way I need them to, I am opting to keep the Ninja. I am surrendering to the fact (for financial reasons) that it will not blend smoothly. I make my smoothies using a two-step process: cycle it through the Ninja first breaking everything up as much as possible, then pouring the amount I want to drink into my Magic Bullet and blending it again to a smooth consistency (I already owned the Magic Bullet, but rarely used it before because it simply wasn't big enough to suit my needs). This works for me because I make a huge Ninja pitcher full in the morning and put it in the fridge, then pour out and blend small amounts to drink in the Magic bullet throughout the day, "fast food" if you will.
It would be a benefit to the manufacturer of the Ninja Blender to construct an additional blade that will fit on the base of the current unit that blends to a smooth consistency.
***UPDATE***
I decided to contact the manufacturer to find out if there was a better blade available for the Ninja Blender. I was unhappy that their customer support was a non-English speaking representative. I could barely understand what he was saying, he could not understand me...I THINK that I discovered there is not another blade available that will puree my food/smoothies to a smooth consistency.
Ultimately, I returned the Ninja Blender. I grew tired of my two-step process described above, and felt it was not worth the money spent versus a less expensive blender that was perhaps not as powerful but would puree to a smooth consistency.
Because of my unpleasant experience with the customer service, and the fact that the blender does not puree, I reduced the rating to 2-star, and would NOT recommend this product for the money spent.
I would not recommend this product.

Oster BLSTAS-BC Designer Series 6-Cup Glass Jar 7-Speed Blender, Brushed Nickel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This blender has a powerful motor for it's size. With two speed settings, it is very capable of most any blender task it is given including crushing ice. It has a six cup capacity which is a bit more than most of the lower end models on the market. It is more attractive than most other models too, looks nice on the counter next to my stand mixer of the same color. Another nice feature is the square base on the jar. You can set it down on the motor base from any angle and it fits and is ready to go, no more fidgeting to fit it into the "grooves" just right. The negatives I have found are: it is very noisy, especially on the higher speed setting. The other problem I had with this blender is that every so often, the large plastic nut on the bottom of the jar, (which holds the blade assembly in place), becomes slightly loose during operation. How I found this out was when I poured the contents into a glass; some watery liquid started leaking from the bottom of the jar assembly. After thoroughly cleaning, drying and tightening the area, it still leaked all over the kitchen counter when pouring. When this happened two or three times, I finally completely disassembled the blade/plastic nut gear and cleaned and dried each part. I put it back together and tightened the nut as far as I could without causing any damage and this finally appeared to resolve the problem. Granted, this procedure should probably be done periodically on the unit but it bothers me that just the simple operation of using the blender in a normal fashion can cause parts to shake loose. I hope this doesn't become a safety issue. Oster has been making blenders for decades, I would hope that they would know how to build a safe, dependable appliance.

Euro-Pro Ninja Master Prep Blender and Food Processor, Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first video review, so here goes nothing! A couple of notes: I repeatedly said Ninja Master Pro, it's Ninja Master Prep. I love it!! Something I did wrong in my video review that I just learned. When making ice based drinks, do the ice on it's own first, then add your other ingredients. It makes the ice more like snow then baby ice chunks. As far as gadgets, this might intrique a non-cook into cooking.
So far, I've made hummus, chicken salad, cheese dip, ice cream, italian breadcrumbs and a few various drinks. I hate processed breadcrumbs in the little cardboard cartons. I tossed those and now we make our own breadcrumbs in about 1 minute. So really no extra effort and it tastes so much better, plus I know exactly whats in it(herbs, bread, garlic, cheese)with no added chemicals or preservatives.
For those people who rely on a food processor as their main go-to item when cooking, this might not be your thing. But for people like me, who tend to chop by hand while cooking for two and pull it out about twice a year, it's perfect. I also am not a huge blender user, though this will get me to try new things, since it's got 400 watts of power and seems like it can make just about anything. Lastly, dishwasher safe is a huge plus as well.
On those two sites amazon and the ninja official site specifically, I've seen it for sale with the ninja pod unit, a blender accessory and a 2 cup processor accessory. Some other places(wholesale clubs and a few tv shopping networks) have it with 2 more added accessories, for the same price(or less!). It's definitely worth poking around and finding the one that comes with 4 accessories total.
Be kind to the ninja pod. Always use it in bursts and don't hold it down. I've heard of other ninja owners stripping the gears by holding it down trying to use it like a traditional blender. It's not meant to be used that way.
ICE CREAM:
No lie, I just made ice cream in about 2 minutes. I am shocked and amazed. I used 1/2 and 1/2, white chocolate pudding mix(for flavor) and frozen strawberries with a few semi-sweet chocolate chips thrown in, which it totally shredded and integrated into it. If you have a sweet tooth, add a little powdered sugar. Seriously, it's like bought ice cream, but better. A-mazing.

Ninja Master Prep Professional Blender, Chopper and Ice Crusher: More Power & 2 Times Faster & Recipe Book Included Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are two serious issues with this item which minimizes it's value.
First, the power is only 450 watts, which is about the same as the normal household blender. The people who have been writing these positive reviews - reviews upon which I relied when I bought this thing - seem like they have never heard of a blender or food processor. The bottom line with regards to power is indisputable - this is the same wattage as a weak blender. Regardless of what people are saying, bear this in mind - no more power than a blender. That's the biggest problem.
Second, the position of the blades relative to the size of the containers does not crush ice into snow as stated (unless you are willing to continually remove the motor and lid, and reposition the ice and/or the contents) and does not chop veggies or anything else evenly.
I tried to crush ice into snow. After repositioning the contents 4 times, I still had chunks of ice (the ice I started with was already crushed ice from our freezer dispenser). So yes, you'll get some snow. But you'll also get so many chunks of ice that it makes this thing useless relative to a blender. When I chopped veggies, the size difference was annoying. Any attempt to more finely chop the larger pieces liquified the smaller pieces.
Here's the thing. If you want to truly crush ice into snow, you need a professional blender (as you see in coffee shops or smoothie outlets). Amazon carries them, they operate on 1000 watts, and cost $200. The base motor (with blade) has to be wider than traditional blenders and the container wider throughout. The idea of 2 or 3 tiers of blades does not help in this regard.
If you want to chop veggies, you need a good food processor where the blades are proportionate to the container. These blades are far too spread apart to chop evenly.
One more thing. This product comes with 3 separate containers for different purposes. You'll need 2-3x the storage space of an ordinary blender.
The Amazon ad says that this lists for $69.95 (as of today). I paid $59.95 at Kohls and had a 30% off coupon. I also had $10 of Kohls cash that I used. That means my cost was about $32 before tax.
And I'm still taking it back.
Beware of some of these reviews. I mean, I have yet to read reviews that were so hyped up. I have to wonder about the origin. Just use common sense and if you still wat to try it, make sure you save the box and receipt.

Ninja Master Prep Professional Blender, Chopper and Ice Crusher More Powerful & 2x Faster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A friend suggested this to me and after her review and research, I decided to get it. I have owned the Ninja Master Prep for a little over a month and it is as advertised. You do need to make sure you don't overload it. I've learned to use the pitcher for most things. The pour spout makes it easy to add more liquid if needed. I've made mixed berries ice cream, strawberry ice cream, iced coffee and chicken salad. My great-grandson loves the ice cream. I use frozen fruit, reg. milk and a little sugar for him, splenda for me and it's perfect. I make as much as I want and if there is a little left over put the lid on and put it in the freezer. I have strawberry ice cream in the freezer now. I freeze left over coffee in an ice tray. Put frozen coffee, coffee mate, splenda and milk in the pitcher and mix. The only problem so far, after I have 1 ice coffee I want another. I would buy this again and would love to have an additional pitcher.
