Ninja - Blast 18 oz. Portable Blender - Forest Green

I cannot understand why this is not rated 5 stars. I use this everyday to make my morning smoothie. I sits on the counter ready to use. Easy clean up and easy to use. I love my blast !!!

Small but mighty, I was able to quickly make my smoothies. It definitely cuts time in half. The color I bought is perfect. I definitely recommend it.

It worked really well for a month or so, then it was a little less responsive, and now it wont even blend. I put t on the charger and it shows solid green (fully charged), I take it off the charger and after pressing the power button it shows solid purple (ready to blend)... nothing happens. I try to press it again and then it blinks from purple to red to purple to red. I have tried all the tips and tricks online and nothing has helped... I am really disappointed because I really enjoyed this item while it worked, but I ended up just wasting 60 bucks.

I purchased (at Costco) one box with two Ninja Blast Portable Blenders, BOTH failed the same way. It could not handle frozen fruits, ice, or bananas very well. The first blender failed after I placed an unsliced banana in the blender with almond milk, protein and peanut butter powder. (Yes, the liquid was placed first). The second blender failed after I place frozen fruit, almond milk, protein powder. Both times, the light flashed red. I poured contents out, cleaned it, tried again only to have the light flash red again. First one lasted maybe 12 blends, second one 4.

I really like it, but this is the third on I've had. Not sure why they quit working. Ninja was great, handled it quickly and got my new one right out to me with no hassles.
