The Ninja BN801 Professional Plus Kitchen System replaces a full-size blender, food processor, and personal blender with one countertop unit powered by a 1400-watt motor base. The main pitcher holds 72 ounces for whole-family batches. The food processor bowl fits up to 2 pounds of dough or a full round of chopping and pureeing. Additional 24-ounce single-serve cups let you blend a smoothie and take it out the door. Auto-iQ technology adds 5 preset programs for the most common blending tasks.
A simple multi-piece kitchen setup for whipping up easy meals
The BN801 has a 1400-peak-watt motor, delivering enough torque to crush ice, blend frozen fruit, and grind nut butters without stalling. Ninja’s Total Crushing Blades in the pitcher pulverize ice into snow-like consistency for frozen drinks, smoothies, and slushies. Pro Extractor Blades in the single-serve cups break down whole fruits and vegetables at high speed for nutrient extraction, pulling vitamins and fiber from produce that would otherwise be discarded during juicing.
The BN801 ships with three attachments that swap onto the motor base. A 72-ounce pitcher with a 64-ounce max liquid line does blender duties for smoothies, soups, and frozen drinks. An 8-cup Precision Processor Bowl handles food-processor duties for chopping vegetables, pureeing sauces, and kneading up to 2 pounds of dough. The included 24-ounce single-serve cups blend single-serve batches, then twist off the blade base and add the lids to create a to-go container that fits in a car cupholder.
The front panel has five programs pre-loaded, including smoothies, frozen drinks, nutrient extractions, chopped mixtures, and dough. Pressing a program starts the sequence automatically, and the digital display counts down the remaining time. Manual controls also include 9 speed settings, a pulse setting, and a stop button for full control when you want to blend outside the preset programs.
. Every attachment except the motor base is dishwasher-safe, and the pitcher and cups have locking lids that keep ingredients contained during high-speed blending. A recipe book also comes in the box.
Ninja sells a full range of kitchen systems and standalone blenders at different price points and functionality levels, from single-purpose personal blenders up to full kitchen systems with cooking capabilities. The BN801 shown here fits in the mid-tier as a blender-plus-food-processor combination without the cooking modes of higher-end sets. At $170, down from $220, the current sale takes 23% off the list price. For a first kitchen system, an upgrade from a standalone blender, or a wedding registry pick, this fits.
