![]() They’re just “there” and you don’t have to worry about activating them. With the other models, BL810 and higher, your power dial will have numbers 1-10 instead of low-medium-high for more fine-tuning type speed adjustments.Īdditionally, the Ultima has suction cups on the base, like the Mega, but there is no lever to release them. Though, with the BL800, the options are similar: Pulse, low, medium, and high. The main thing you’ll notice is that the power and speed buttons are different. In terms of size, the Ultima is fairly similar to the Ninja Mega, with a slightly stouter base and jar (though the jar is the same size – 72 ounces). This is likely to be slightly different for other models with variable 1-10 speed settings but you get the idea. Here is the chart provided in the Inspiration Guide for the BL800. The general rule is that you use both blades for most uses except emulsifying/pureeing. This, of course, could cause confusion of when to use which setup, so Ninja provides a little quick-reference chart that outlines best blade selection. With the Ultima, you can blend either with just the lower blade cluster, or, with the lower cluster and the removable quad blade. The single serve cups for everything from the Ninja Pulse to the Ninja Mega KS work really well to puree greens, but that is because the blade design is more like a traditional blender. But, when it comes to making green smoothies, some people are turned off by the inability of the Ninjas to get greens like spinach or kale totally pureed. For some uses, it’s not so great.įor instance, this blade set up is great for making homemade Lara Bars. The Ninja blade system is different than most blenders, as it goes up through the middle of the jar, instead of being clustered at the bottom. In general, the Ninja blender line offers really powerful blenders at more affordable prices than something like a Vitamix or BlendTec. What’s the Big Deal About the Ninja Ultima, Anyway? One would assume these two items come with each model in some form or fashion, as they serve as getting started guides to using the blender. The model I bought also comes with a user’s manual and “Inspiration Guide,” which has a handful of recipes and tips. Single serve blade assembly*Model BL830C comes with the “Ninja Ultima Creations” recipe bookĭirect from Ninja, Target, Lowes, Canadian Tire Assuming you are not like me, do yourself a favor and start with a model that comes with single serve cups – they are incredibly convenient to have. This isn’t a problem for me, since I have lots of single serve cups for other model Ninjas (they are not interchangeable, by the way). This is a personal preference, but I am a huge fan of single serve cups, and the BL800 does not come with any. ![]() I do have one suggestion, though. Unless you find a screaming good deal on the BL800, like I did, I would recommend trying to get at least the BL810 or higher when it comes to models. All models come with the 72 ounce pitcher and removable quad blade assembly, so I haven’t listed that below. However, I’ll boil it down for you for easy reference in the simplified chart below. ![]() Ninja has a good comparison chart of which models have which accessories, here. Since I already have a Ninja Mega Kitchen System, Ninja Professional, and Ninja Pulse, I picked up the base model Ultima from Wal-Mart (the only place that sells the BL800), for $199 that came with a $50 e-gift card, making the price $149. Different retailers carry different models, so, depending on where you buy your blender, you can get different accessory systems.įun, right? <–sarcastic font in full use there! They start with the BL800, which is the “base” model and just comes with the 72 ounce pitcher, and go from there, to models with single serve cups, food processing attachments, and more.
