What you need is a more System-atic approach to your food prep. Here it is, at a killer price. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Expecting a crowd for the holidays? A powerful blender is a must for whipping up velvety soups and sauces. And of course you fruit-and-fitness fans know how much money you can save making your own smoothies in the morning. But some uber-blenders — like the No. 1 bestselling Ninja Mega Kitchen System — can do so much more : It features several attachments to handle your blending needs, along with food processing, dough-kneading and more. It's so popular, it often sells out — but it's currently in stock and on rare sale at Amazon.
The fact that this No. 1 bestseller acts as both a blender and food processor is enough to catch our attention — but knowing it's currently down to its best price of the year? That puts it over the top.
With a 72-ounce blending pitcher and 8-cup food processor bowl, you'll be able to whip up frozen margaritas and salsa for a crowd. The 1500-watt motor also makes pulverizing everything from ice to frozen fruit a piece of cake.
The $120 clickable coupon brings the Sperax down to the lowest price we've seen at Amazon, where it's typically priced around $190. It can support up to 320 pounds and reaches up to 4 mph, making it a great option for taking a brisk walk while binge-watching or staying active while typing at your computer.
Of the three walking pads we're featuring, this has the highest user weight capacity. It also has two wheels on the bottom, making it a good choice if you're just getting started on a walking program for weight loss and would prefer a unit that's easier to move around or maneuver between sessions.
Shoppers rave about how quiet and stable it feels. Said one fan: "The pad is not too heavy to move around but also very sturdy once set. While the walking pad is on, it's not overly loud or ... awkward when on meetings."
For a few dollars more, you can also get it in gray/green or this sleek black.
With a brand like Ninja, you know you're getting a quality product, so the fact that this blender/food processor combo is down to $100 (from $200) makes it a sale worth jumping on. In fact, this is the best price we've seen it for all year — as low as it was last Black Friday — so it's unlikely to dip any lower. More than 10,000 were purchased in the past month, FYI...
There's so much to love about this Ninja. For starters, it has a powerful 1,500-watt motor to effortlessly work its way through whatever ingredients you throw at it — think ice, frozen fruit, raw veggies and more.
The blending pitcher is a sizable 72 ounces, allowing you to make crowd-pleasing portions of sauces, frozen drinks and soups in one go. (Ooh, cranberry margaritas for Thanksgiving!) Need to chop ingredients? Done in seconds. Prep some bread-to-be? Simply attach the food processor bowl — it can handle up to two pounds of dough.
There are even two 16-ounce to-go cups that attach right to the base, allowing you to make personalized juices and smoothies. And, because this is from Ninja — i.e., a consumer-friendly brand — all the cups, blades and lids are dishwasher-safe.
This kitchen system has gotten rave reviews from over 36,000 Amazon shoppers.
"This blender/food processor is awesome," said a five-star fan. "It will chew up anything you put in it. It makes chopping/mincing a snap. I'm looking forward to discovering new ways to use it in the kitchen."
A fellow happy customer called this blender "so useful" and gushed about it, saying, "This is probably one of the best purchases I've made in my life. It's so useful if you like to have smoothies for breakfast. One of the things that held me back in the past was having to use a giant container to just make one smoothie. Also, great for making salad dressings. I use it for dough and cutting vegetables. It's a great value for all its uses."
"It has literally transformed our kitchen into a restaurant," raved a third. "It chews through ice like it's nothing, makes absolutely amazing frozen coffees. I put some chicken breasts into the food processor ... was just curious [to see] what would happen, with a big can of cream of mushroom soup. This thing shredded the chicken in seconds; [I] ended up using the result to make an amazing casserole. ... Even the single-serve cups that come with this thing can destroy ice like it's nothing, and frozen fruits as well..."
"I wish the food processor had a slicer, that is my only gripe," said a generally pleased user, adding,"Does a fantastic and noisy job."
"Honestly, the noise is my only complaint," echoed a final fan, adding, "As long as you can bear it for the 30 seconds it takes to blend your drink/recipe, you're good. Bonus is it's friend-, kid- and guest-proof, safety features prevent any mishaps and no one will be able to jam up the motor by stuffing too much spinach in there, I'm fairly certain."
