It is a bit loud, similar to other ninja blenders, but it takes no more than 10 seconds to blend anyway

I don't have a dishwasher, so sometimes cleaning the blades can be a bit tedious, but I went into this fully aware of that

Noticed that it struggled a bit with gooey or thick and oily foods such as smoked salmon, which I was trying to puree into a salmon spread.

Oh, and as one reviewer said it is a bit loud but not enough to give it less than 5 stars.

I do add oats to my smoothies, and this takes a bit of time grinding that up finely compared to other blenders I've had, but it does the job just fine after a minute of blending

After a little more than a month of use (nothing crazy, maybe a few times a week), the blender would begin smoking quite a bit during use, and for several minutes after use

Sometimes I have to shake it a bit to make sure its even, but it's not an issue

Very fast and quick - I like the power

but it seems not blend as smooth as I hoped but just have to blend longer for better consistency.

n’t go wrong.

n’t think I can afford a new blade replacement every two
