The Ninja Professional Plus Blender with Auto IQ makes good smoothies and is easy to use. However, its high noise level and grainy puree when blending fibrous ingredients are considerable drawbacks that are hard to ignore.

Overview

The Ninja Professional Plus Blender with Auto-iQ is an entry-level blender that was first released in 2020. The full-size blender has a power capacity of 1400 Watts and ships with a 72 oz jar.

It’s meant for ice-crushing, blending smoothies, and making nut butter, but it’s not for hot ingredients. That said, it ships with six very sharp blades, and at a max speed of 5000 RPM, it has a noise output of 89.4 decibels. This is similar to most highly-rated blenders.

This Auto-iQ blender has three speed presets, a pulse mode, and three pre-programmed settings for added convenience. When cleaning, owners will have to be careful with its sharp blades, but this should be easy since they are removable.

Otherwise, the jar can be cleaned by mixing soap and water and blending for a short while.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The Ninja Professional Plus Blender with Auto IQ is a well-built, large-capacity blender. It offers a good combination of power and versatility. With a 1400 Watt motor and a top speed of 5,000 RPM, it shines at making smooth-textured smoothies and crushed ice.

However, it doesn’t do well with tougher ingredients. The puree is grainy, and it lacks the ability to blend hot ingredients.
Cleaning the blender by hand can be challenging due to its sharp blades.

Nonetheless, the jar, lid, and six blades are top rack dishwasher-safe. Finally, it is on the loud side, as testers found its noise level to be 89.4 dB. They also affirmed that the three pre-programmed settings made it easier to use.
