I couldn’t disagree more. I have been an avid smoothie and juice maker for many years now and when I dropped my old belnder which worked great. Decided to pick up the Ninja as replacement. Not ONE of my smoothies are smooth. It will NOT puree for soups either. Chop and dice, fine, but that ain’t what I bought it for. So ho come your all saying its great for smoothies and soups??? What gives. I cannot find contact info from manufacturere to complain about this rubbish product either?? NOT HAPPY!!!
