Yesterday my gf destroyed our cheap old blender by accidentally leaving a metal spoon in the glass pitcher then turning it on. It shattered instantly. Quite spectacularly I’m told, but I wasn’t at home at the time. While I was !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , instead I bought a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
I was all hung up on the KitchenAid Diamond because in video reviews it appeared to do a better job than the Ninja at creating super smooth blends of hard stuff like whole or frozen fruits. For example:
But...
I felt bad for my gf after she destroyed the old blender so I wanted to get a replacement ASAP, but no stores around me had the KitchenAid Diamond in stock.
My local Target had the Ninja + smoothie cups bundle in stock, and Target price matches Amazon.
90% of blender use in my house is my gf making smoothies. So now we can keep the big pitcher stashed away most of the time while she rolls with the smoothie cups.
For my occasional heavier-duty stuff, this is a heavier-duty Ninja than the one in the video.
The girl at the customer service counter at Target was thrilled to go through the Amazon price match procedure, and then ring up a head of garlic that I was also buying. Ecstatic , in fact. (I did not have her price match the garlic with Amazon.)

I bought Mrs. ttyymmnn a Ninja for Christmas, mostly for making shakes and smoothies, and we have been very happy with it. The pitcher is a bit cumbersome to clean, but it's a good size for making things for the whole family. I would recommend getting some sort of brush to clean the blades if you're doing it by hand. They are very sharp.

That last line, so she was annoyed to do the price match?

so apparently a metal spoon will not blend. Or would it blend in a blendtech one.

Correct. I was really nice to her about it and she seemed more frustrated with her job than frustrated with me.
But hey, it was $40 less on Amazon so hell yes I’m going to do the price match.
