What model is my Ninja blender?

Introduction

Ninja blenders are popular and powerful blenders made by SharkNinja Operating LLC. With their sleek design and range of features, it can sometimes be tricky to identify exactly which Ninja blender model you have in your kitchen. Knowing your specific Ninja blender model is useful for troubleshooting problems, ordering replacement parts, and finding the correct accessories. In this guide, we’ll go over how to identify which Ninja blender you have based on design, features, controls, and model numbers.

Examining the Physical Design

The first step in identifying your Ninja blender model is to take a close look at the physical design. Things to note include:

• Size – Is it a full-size model or a personal/single serve size?
• Shape – Round container, square container, or tall travel cup?
• Color – Black, silver, red, other colors?
• Materials – Glass, plastic, stainless steel?
• Number of containers – One, two, or more blender jars/cups?

For example, the popular Ninja Professional Blender 1100 has a large 72 oz pitcher with a round glass container. The Ninja Fit Personal Blender has a smaller 18 oz cup with a square plastic container. Observing these physical characteristics can help narrow down the possibilities.

Examining the Features

Next, take a look at what features and settings your Ninja blender has:

• Buttons – Does it have pre-programmed settings like “smoothie” or “frozen drink”? Manual buttons like “pulse” or “high” speed?
• Wattage – Is it a lower-watt personal blender or a high powered 1200+ watt blender?
• Blades – Does it have a multi-tiered blade assembly or a single crossing blade?
• Functions – Does it crush ice? Heat soup? Make frozen drinks?
• Accessories – Does it come with handled cups, food processor bowls, blade discs, or other attachments?

Matching up the capabilities of your blender can indicate the model. For example, the Ninja Mega Kitchen System has a unique food processor bowl and dough blade accessories.

Examining the Control Panel

The control panel is also a key to identifying the Ninja blender model. Things to look for:

• Buttons – What functions are available? Pulse, Low, High, Single Serve, etc.
• Mode Selections – Are there specific presets like Smoothie, Frozen Drinks, Chop, Puree?
• Digital Display – Does it have an LED screen that displays timer settings?
• Labeling – Are the buttons labeled with text and icons?
• Layout – Is there a power button, play/pause button, dial, or touch controls?

For instance, the Ninja Professional blender 1100 has Low, Medium, High buttons while the Ninja Foodi Power Blender & Processor has a digital display and touch buttons.

Locating the Model Number

To definitively identify the model, you’ll need to consult the model number which can usually be found in several places:

• Base – Check the base near the motor for a sticker or imprinted model number
• Manual – Look in the instruction manual for the model name/number
• Packaging – Model details are printed on the outside of the box
• Sales Receipt – Locate the receipt and look for the item description
• Registration Card – There may be a registration postcard with the model printed on it

The model number is typically formatted as a combination of letters and numbers like “NJ600WM” or “BL660”. Entering this into a search engine will pull up details for that specific Ninja blender.
