The Ninja Professional Blender 2.0 (BR201AMZ) is a powerful kitchen appliance designed for a variety of blending tasks, from crushing ice to making super-smooth smoothies and resort-style drinks. It features a robust motor base, a large 72-oz. Total Crushing® Pitcher (with a 64-oz. max liquid capacity), a Stacked Blade Assembly, and a Pitcher Lid with Pour Spout. This blender is intended for indoor household use and emphasizes safety through its design and operational guidelines.
The primary function of the Ninja Professional Blender 2.0 is to efficiently blend and process various ingredients. It utilizes a unique Stacked Blade Assembly that is designed to provide professional power for crushing ice and breaking down tough ingredients. The blender offers both automated and manual blending programs, catering to different user needs and ingredient types.
The AUTO-IQ® PROGRAM is a key feature, providing intelligent preset programs that combine unique blending and pausing patterns. Once selected, these programs start immediately and automatically stop when blending is complete, simplifying complex blending tasks. The "CRUSH" Auto-iQ program is specifically tailored for the Total Crushing® Pitcher, delivering professional power to crush ice, break down tough ingredients, and create super-smooth results for smoothies and resort-style drinks.
For users who prefer more control, the blender also includes MANUAL PROGRAMS: "LOW," "MEDIUM," and "HIGH." Each of these speeds runs continuously for 60 seconds, allowing users to achieve their desired consistency. Pressing the active button again will stop the program sooner. These manual programs operate independently of the Auto-iQ system.
Additionally, the PULSE function offers greater control over pulsing and blending. It operates only when the button is pressed, allowing for short bursts with short presses and longer blending periods with long presses, which is ideal for achieving specific textures or for initial chopping of ingredients.
Operating the Ninja Professional Blender 2.0 involves a straightforward process, with several safety measures integrated into its design. Before first use, it is crucial to review all warnings and instructions. The Stacked Blade Assembly, while highly effective, is loose and sharp, requiring careful handling by grasping the top of the shaft to prevent laceration.
To begin, the motor base should be placed on a clean, dry, and level surface. The pitcher is then lowered onto the motor base, aligning the handle slightly to the right and rotating it clockwise until it clicks into place, indicated by the visible LOCK symbols. The Stacked Blade Assembly is then carefully placed onto the drive gear inside the pitcher, ensuring it fits loosely. Ingredients are added to the pitcher, taking care not to exceed the MAX LIQUID line.
The lid is then placed on the pitcher, and the handle is pressed down until it clicks into place, locking the lid securely. This action activates the unit, and the available program buttons will illuminate, signaling that the blender is ready for use. If the pitcher and lid are not properly installed, a safety feature disables the motor, and the program button LEDs will flash.
For Auto-iQ programs like "CRUSH," the preset feature will automatically stop when complete. Manual programs run for 60 seconds but can be stopped earlier by pressing the active speed button again.
Removing the pitcher from the motor base involves turning it counterclockwise and lifting it up. For thinner mixtures, the pour spout cap can be opened while the lid remains locked. For thicker mixtures, the lid and Stacked Blade Assembly should be removed before pouring. To remove the lid, the RELEASE button is pressed, and the handle is lifted. The blade assembly is removed by carefully grasping the top of the shaft and pulling straight up. It is critical to always remove the blade assembly BEFORE emptying the container's contents to avoid the risk of laceration.
The blender is designed with a thermal switch that activates and temporarily disables the motor if the appliance overheats. To reset, the unit must be unplugged and allowed to cool for approximately 30 minutes before reuse.
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of the Ninja Professional Blender 2.0. All parts, except the motor base, should be separated and washed after each use.
For hand-washing, the container, lid, and blade assembly should be washed in warm, soapy water. A dishwashing utensil with a handle is recommended for cleaning the blade assembly to avoid direct contact with the sharp blades. All parts should be thoroughly rinsed and air-dried.
For dishwasher cleaning, all parts except the motor base are top-rack dishwasher safe. However, they should NOT be cleaned with a heated dry cycle. The blade assembly must be removed from the container before placing it in the dishwasher, and care should always be exercised when handling it.
The motor base should be cleaned by turning off the unit, unplugging it, and wiping it with a clean, damp cloth. Abrasive cloths, pads, or brushes should not be used on the motor base.
For storage, the power cord can be wrapped around the cord wrap on the back of the motor base. The unit should be stored upright, with the blade assembly inside or attached to the container with the lid locked in place. It is important not to stack items on top of the container to prevent damage.
The blender also includes a motor reset procedure in case of overload. If the motor is temporarily disabled, the unit should be unplugged, allowed to cool for about 15 minutes, and the container's lid and blade assembly removed to ensure no ingredients are jamming the blade assembly. This helps prevent damage to the motor and drive system.
