The Ninja Blast is a cordless solution optimized for high mobility, utilizing a 7.4V dual-battery system charged via USB-C. The 18 oz vessel is made from Tritan plastic, which is noted for its chemical stability and resistance to impact. This unit is designed to provide approximately 15 blends per charge, making it suitable for use at the gym or in an office setting.
Because it operates on a DC motor, it features a protective stall firmware. This means if the blades encounter too much resistance from large frozen chunks, the motor will temporarily stop. A practical reality of using this device is employing a "shake-to-start" method to help the blades gain momentum. It produces a relatively low noise level of 70-75dB during operation.
Key functional features include:
- USB-C charging compatibility, allowing for use with most standard mobile power bricks.
- A leak-proof sip lid with a tactile hinge lock for secure transport in a bag.
- Integrated ribbed vessel walls that help create a vortex despite the lower wattage of a battery-powered motor.
Specifications indicate that the blade assembly is not removable from the base, so cleaning the bottom well is most effectively done by blending water with a drop of soap immediately after use. It is also recommended to avoid storing the unit in high-heat environments, such as a car on a summer day, to maintain battery health.
For a corded alternative that offers more consistent peak torque for heavy frozen fruit, the Hamilton Beach Portable Blender is a reliable plug-in option.
