Got the previous Euro-Pro Ninja Master Prep, also a refurb. It works great and this appears to be a better deal, same price but with 3 containers, not 2 as before. The refurbed unit has a few minor scratches but otherwise is fine.

This product works awesome for making smoothies and snow cones.

Exactly! I have a similar food processor (the magic bullet, famous for their amazing infomercials) and make a ridiculous amount of yummy smoothies in it. This book has a lot of great smoothie recipes, if you need some ideas!
Roughly 3 1/2 amps for this tiny processor? That motor must really tear it up.
Awesome, I was hoping and hoping and hoping for this to pop up during the wootoff, but it never came. Now it’s finally here. Thanks Woot!
My friend has a ninja and I loved it… hence the reason I’m the first sucker.
A recent article in a non profit, no advertising magazine that rhymes with funsouper shemorts says that this is one of those products that is worth buying and then some…
I bought this a few weeks ago when it came with the mixer. I cut up a whole onion into 4s to make it fit in the small chopper. It turned the onions into water with just a few pulses! This thing is insane! I love it!
The lady of the house loves this. That’s about all you should care about.

refurbished…food processor?? -_-

I always buy EVERYTHING (even my gf) refurbished.

I cut my finger taking it out of the container the first time to wash it. Those blades are SHARP!!
Very quiet running.

Same thing happened to me. I got cut by the blade; hope they stay this sharp a good while.
I got this in a different bundle about a month or so ago here-around April 5th, I think; it had a free hand mixer and 2 20 oz. cups with the Slurpee type spoons to go with them.
I have thoroughly enjoyed making smoothies, and great soft serve instant ice cream with just cold milk and frozen fruit for the latter with a drop of vanilla and a little Splenda added. Pulse for about 30 seconds, and it’s really good, without being very fat or having any added sugar. Really, the possibilities are endless as far as the fruit types.
You can completely juice veggies if you don’t watch out, and don’t just pulse a couple of times! I love mine. Great sno-cones for the grandkids, too.
I think the last bundle was new, not refurbished, and it was $34.95, I think. I didn’t really need the hand mixer that came with it, so, maybe I should have waited~:) for this offer and saved about $15!?
I want an immersion blander gosh darn it!!
So tempted to buy another one. Don’t really need it, but maybe I can give it as a present (or just keep it in reserve for when mine breaks). ???
I hear Ninjas chop things more smoothly than 600 elves with cutco knives.

Previous Woot
It also includes a hand mixer, but the reviews should also include this product.

had a mixer last time - son’t see it this time, but then again - it was more $$ with the mixer.
Yes! It does a great job of chopping.
[QUOTE=doux1958, post:19, topic:314794]
I’m old and can no longer chop things with a knife …will I like this?

Add me to the growing list who got the last Ninja set on Woot and LOVE it. We have used ours MANY times to make margaritas, chop up ingredients for slaw, etc. Ice becomes snow in no time. Word to the wise- Chop up your food, ice, etc. with SHORT bursts of the motor. If you run it continually, you’ll burn up the motor (or so I’ve read in reviews by a lot of people). Plus, you’ll make juice of any food you put in there to chop up if you do anything more than tap a few times on the button. I love ours so much I’m seriously thinking about getting this set as a back up for when ours eventually burns out or the blades break…
This thing is amazing! Bought mine about a year ago from BJ’s for $50 and I use it almost daily; mainly for smoothies. 3 blades = quick, precise blending.
Not nearly as loud as a blender, even for $50 it was a great deal!
Jump on this!
I bought this a few months back on Woot new and with a mixer. Absolutely terrific for making smoothies, chopping veggies and stuff. Super easy to clean. Takes up a lot of space, but also replaces other gadgets like a blender. At $20 for a refurb, it’s a great buy.
I’m buying this bad boy just to make what I’ve wanted to for ages but my blender just can’t do.
I got this on a whim when it first went up on Woot and I love this thing even though I have the less powerful original version.
It’s great for soups, sauces, smoothies, homemade bread crumbs, salsa, etc. I pretty much upped by boozy blended beverage uptake 10x. If I get diagnosed with Type II I’m blaming it on the Ninja.
