Most of their products rarely last more than a 2-3 years unless you rarely use it and/or baby it.
Cheap construction and plastic everywhere, including in the driveline for blenders, food processors and such.
Short 1-year warranties... for obvious reasons.
In the intermediate and longer-term, you rarely truly save by buying this brand over better quality products.
To each their own, I just worry about all the waste companies like this create for our ailing planet.

All that said, ninja has gone downhill. If you have the money get a vitamix

Definitely much better quality, much better warranty (and it's not just a crappy limited warranty, it's a full-on warranty that covers shipping both ways too), much smoother blends, and much better customer service.
If you don't want this model you can catch good sales on their other models throughout the year too. This does come with the steel tumblers which is kind of nice.

Also, of course, you can find other Vitamix bundles as well, periodically.
Vitamix isn't the cheapest upfront ticket, but still typically a good-great value over the years, especially if you blend quite a bit and catch a decent deal.

The only two blenders worth mentioning is...
$50-85 Oster Pro 1200 with metal gears, boro glass (no microplastic), parts are easy to replace every 5-10 years. The best $50 blender ever, I would buy 10 for gifts if needed. Had mine for 7 years, gets used once a daily. The key is you must fill it half with water to lube it. There is a food processor attachment for extra or $120 bundled
$200 Vitamix E320 or 5200. Its very overkill, but a workhorse if you find them on sale or refurb clearance. Mine running good for over 5 year at vacation house. You don't need a 400hp V8 to shred kale, but these fool proof for house guest
$100-150 Cleanblend 1800. Its Vitamix knockoff, last 1/4 the life. I dont own it.
The only good Ninja is Air fry XL Oven $120, mine gets used daily for the last 2, should last 5 years. I have two of these examples.
Ninja processor is ok for $50, but the Cuisinart Pro $150 and Kitchenaid Mini DC are built to last for compact size.
Insta Pot Duo $50 makes a great cooker these should last 5-10 years, had mine for 6 months. $100 Tiger rice cookers have lasted 10-20 years, i own the 1990 analog and 2010 digital ones.
90% of rest is plastic ewaste trash. i don't brother with burnt out motors after 5 uses or soft plastic gears

I do have a blender, not this one, and it does seem a bit louder than I remember (but that was also years ago). That's the only issue I've had with them. I use my coffee maker daily and it's great. Did a lot of research to find that model. Other manufacturers didn't produce the features I was looking for.
I will agree that in general things are terribly built these days but I have not had that frustration towards Ninja. Currently I'm having large issues with my brand new Apple iPhone (latest update riddled it with bugs), my <6 month old Dell laptop, and my Yale X Nest door lock (which is breaking in less than 5 years).
