The Ninja Master Prep has an interchangeable 400 watts motor that is enough to crush ice to help you create delicious, ice cold smoothies. Even at this low power, it can still minch, dice, slice, puree fruits and vegetables easily.

And upon investigation, the key lies in it’s patented blade which makes this possible. Of course, the smoothies won’t be as smooth as compared to the heavy-duty blenders, but the price difference is huge!

The heavy-duty blenders costs around $400 up while the Ninja Master Prep usually costs less than $50 on Amazon.

Once you’ve decided to purchase the Ninja Master Prep, you’ll be receiving 2 master prep pitchers. One is 48 oz, while the other is 16 oz. It’s easy to use, has anti-spill splashguard which helps keep your workplace tidy and clean.

The advantages of this blender is that it's very easy to use. The parts and the blender is very straightforward. There are multiple bowls that you can use for multiple cuisines. 

This is really awesome because you could prepare your meals and food without rinsing and cleansing the bowls. 

Now, the disadvantage is that this is another "top down" blender which means that the blades need to be in the bowl before including the food.

It can also be quite difficult to clean the avocado dip and sauces you've made with the Ninja Master Prep. 

You might want to use a cleaning brush to rinse and clean the bowls properly.

If you're really looking for something really cheap, yes, it's a great option. 

But if you have some budget to spare, definitely start with at least the Nutribullet PRO blender or the Nutri Ninja PRO as your first personal countertop blender.
