Ninja BL660 Professional Blender
The BL660's 1100-watt motor handles what most blenders stall on: frozen fruit straight from the bag, ice cubes, and fibrous greens without the motor laboring. The 72 oz pitcher covers a full party batch of margaritas or a pot of blended soup; the two included 16 oz Nutri Ninja cups handle single-serve smoothies with their own lids for on-the-go use. Total Crushing Blades reduce ice to snow-like consistency in seconds. Three functions — single-serve, frozen blending, and smoothie — keep the controls straightforward. For a household that blends daily without needing Vitamix-level power, the BL660 hits the practical sweet spot between entry-level blenders and professional-grade hardware.

What we like
- + 1100-watt motor crushes ice and frozen fruit without straining — handles what entry-level blenders stall on
- + 72 oz pitcher covers full-batch recipes; two 16 oz Nutri Ninja cups handle single-serve smoothies
- + Three dedicated functions keep controls simple — no guessing which setting to use

Watch out for
- - No variable speed dial — functions are preset rather than manually adjustable
- - 72 oz pitcher is large; not ideal for single-serve use without switching to the Nutri Ninja cups
Our verdict
Best mid-range blender for households that blend daily. The 1100-watt motor and included to-go cups cover both batch and single-serve use without paying Vitamix prices.
