I got the Ninja Blast so I could quickly make fresh smoothies or shakes on the go or in the office, and I'm really impressed so far. What I really like: • For such a small, portable device, the performance is really powerful and it pulverizes everything I've thrown into it so far. Even XXL ice cubes! • The unit is super handy and fits easily into my bag, whether I'm going to the gym or to work. • Operation is easy, intuitive, and you can clean the thing in a minute after use. • The entire device feels very high-quality and robust – exactly what you'd expect from Ninja. One point that bothers me: • Unfortunately, the charging port is not USB-C. I find this a bit inconvenient nowadays, as I have to carry a special charging cable for the blender instead of just being able to use the one from my smartphone. It's a pity that it doesn't fall under the EU standard for devices where USB-C is mandatory... • Furthermore, the battery feels like it charges a bit slower via this port than my other devices. Conclusion: Anyone looking for a reliable and compact blender for on the go will definitely be happy with the Ninja Blast. Unfortunately, you have to accept that you'll need an extra cable because it doesn't yet have a USB-C port. Apart from that, it's a great companion for everyday life!
