Soo, my siblings and I gave them a Vitamix 5200 for a Christmas gift, and my parents sent the Ninja off to craigslist land. My dad was able to find a replacement on eBay, which is the one in the photo (their original one had a bunch of missing gear teeth.)īut a s with my old blender, he’d have to keep on buying replacement blender cups because it’s only a matter of time until the new one starts coming apart as well. What happens over time is that the soft plastic wears away/breaks off, and then you’re left with a non-functional gear tooth. ![]() However, my parents’ chief complaint is this: that the blade mechanism on the Ninja is made of thin metal covered in soft plastic.Īnd this is true of the base AND the cup/pitcher, though it’s especially problematic with the single serve cup. The Ninja did a pretty good job of handling that task, but it’s not quite as good at pureeing greens as the Vitamix. My parents use their blender like I do: mostly for smoothies that involve yogurt and frozen fruit. □Īnyway, I took the opportunity to take a few comparison photos that might be helpful for those of you hemming and hawing over a blender purchase. ![]() I say “did”, because my parents’ Ninja had problems, and they now own the same Vitamix I do. No, I didn’t go buy a Ninja! I’m still quite in love with my Vitamix and I’m pretty sure I’ll never buy another blender.īut my parents DID own a Ninja, which gave me the opportunity to see how it holds up.
