However, one customer gave it a three-star review due to difficulty in locking it into place. They explain: “Works excellently but it is very stiff to lock into place in order for it to work, and if you have rheumatoid arthritis or any form of weakness in your hands, it’s not a product for you. There is no grip and you have to push down and twist it into position.” Some buyers also mention that the product is noisier than expected.”
Some customer reviews say that the product has become an important addition to the kitchen, with one saying: “I recently purchased the Ninja Foodi Power Nutri Blender 2-in-1, and it has completely transformed my cooking and blending experience,” while another adds: “This blender is an absolute game-changer, and I can’t sing its praises enough.

From frozen fruits to leafy greens, the Ninja Foodi Power Nutri Blender 2-in-1 tackles everything with ease. The 1100 watt motor is a beast and blends everything to perfection. One of my favourite features is the Auto-iQ technology. It takes the guesswork out of blending, with pre-programmed settings for various tasks like smoothies and soups. No need to keep hitting pulse.”
The Ninja Foodi Power Nutri Blender 2-in-1 has also been praised for its easy cleaning, durable Tritan Nutri Ninja Cups and sleek design.
