I purchased this system to replace an older Ninja blender system that I have used for years. It is impressive that Ninja still has not fixed the major design issues from generation to generation that prevent this from being an actually decent blender. Performance-wise it seems okay. The problem is this thing is very difficult, if not impossible, to fully clean. Do you enjoy drinking mold with your smoothies? I don't. The needlessly complicated blender lid is constructed of multiple pieces. As a result, there is a big hollow area between the blender lid's halves that is inaccessible to clean. We discovered this after a fuzzy mold blob was seen growing out from one of the crevices between the halves after using it a single time and cleaning it. Unless you are very careful in the orientation you place the lid after washing it, water will be trapped inside. Even then, with this area being completely inaccessible, you have no idea what is growing inside. You have to leave it on the counter for days to theoretically air dry, otherwise water that is trapped inside will turn into mold. Then, on the blending jar blade, there is a silicone gasket that seals against the cup. Again, this is virtually impossible to remove (I had to rig up a piece of wire to act as a pick to fish it out) which allows all sorts of mold to grow under it as well. We were disgusted to see what was growing on ours after just a handful of uses (and cleaning it directly afterwards each time). They at least made the gaskets at the top of the blender and food processing removable, but they are a pain to remove and clean every time. So yeah, an otherwise decent-performing blender that is completely ruined by the inability to clean it (they claim parts are dishwasher safe IF you don't use a heated dry, but this would still not sufficiently clean the areas I'm referring to). If you like drinking mold alongside whatever you make, by all means buy this product. Ninja just lost a customer for life.
