About this deal

The Blend setting is a pre-set mode that blends your ingredients for 50 seconds. It is one of the Auto-IQ modes offered with the Ninja Auto-IQ BN495UK, combining pulsing and continuous blending to make sure every last piece of fruit or cube of ice is blended completely. Make your favourite smoothies and breakfast drinks easily with either fresh or frozen ingredients. Blending straight into the 700ml cup, simply add the spout lid and enjoy straight away or take your drink on-the-go. As there are two cups included with the BN495UK, you will always have one handy whenever you need it. The Ninja Auto-IQ BN495UK is a top notch blender for those who like a morning smoothie. Because the blender runs on preset cycles I really enjoyed how easy it was to turn the Ninja Auto-IQ BN495UK on and leave my drink to blend while I made a start on my breakfast or took care of other tasks. Especially in the morning, this can really streamline your day and buy you a few minutes to get ready. I was able to add some tough stuff to the Ninja Auto-IQ BN495UK, including frozen spinach and frozen berries, and every time my smoothie was incredibly smooth and well mixed. It can handle lots of frozen ingredients in one go which makes the Ninja Auto-IQ BN495UK well suited to smoothie bowls.

You love drinking smoothies on the go: The Ninja Blender with Auto-IQ BN495UK offers an easy way to make delicious cold drinks with minimum fuss. The inclusion of no-spill lids means you can secure a cup after blending, pop it in your bag and consume whilst out and about. I also used this blender to make some guacamole and hummus. I prefer my guacamole chunky, which is far more feasible when it’s done in a food processor, but following the included guacamole recipe yielded some tasty and smooth guacamole that went well in fajitas and as a dip. Because it was blended so finely the dip did discolour the avocados from a creamy green to a green-brown, the same colour your avocado goes when you cut it in half and expose it to air. This didn’t disrupt the taste, but it didn’t look as good as the guacamole I’ve made in my food processor before.Exclusive to Ninja, the BN495UK features Auto-IQ technology. These intelligent programmes are tailored to deliver the perfect results at the touch of a button. Two unique pulse, pause and blend patterns do all the hard work for you. Plus, you can also take control with manual settings for blended ingredients just how you like them. Most personal blenders come with one setting only. The Ninja Auto-IQ BN495UK comes with three, and a Start/Stop button for using as you would a conventional personal blender. When you press the Start button, it will set off a 60-second timer of continuous blending. One of the recipes I followed said to add a slice of lemon with the skin on, which is something I’d never have done in my old blender. Sure enough though, the smoothie was completely smooth and with no hint of peel, which saved me a job and reduced food waste. This even applied to some accidental remnants of pineapple core, which is notoriously tough and unpleasant to bite into. When testing I found that my food prep could be less meticulous, because any skin or core I left on my ingredients would be gone when I poured out the smoothie. You want to make large batches: While there are two 700ml single-serve cups included in the box, for a bigger household, a multi-use blender such as the Ninja 3-in-1 Food Processor with Auto-IQ BN800UK may be a better option since it comes with an extra 2.1-litre blending jug. For larger tasks such as family-sized drinks, the 700ml cups will be a little small for your needs. This blender also struggles to make dips. So if you want something that can do it all I’d suggest a food processor that also has a food processor attachment. Ninja also makes one of these, called the Ninja 3-in-1 Food Processor with Auto-IQ BN800UK. About this review, and the reviewer

You’re keen to experiment with flavours: Pretty much anything goes when you’re making a smoothie in this design – from tough ingredients such as pineapple chunks and unwaxed lemon peel, to finer items such as spinach and seeds. The Ninja Auto-IQ BN495UK is very easy to clean. The base obviously doesn’t go in the dishwasher, but everything else can. Even if you do wash by hand, the blades on the blending attachment aren’t so fiddly that a good brush won’t dislodge any remaining greens or sauce. The blender could be more versatile. This isn’t so much a critique of the Ninja Auto-IQ BN495UK blender as it is a criticism of personal blenders as a whole. While the best food processors can power through all manner of dry ingredients, a blender will always fare better with wet. I was able to use the blender to blend oats into flour for some oat pancakes, but it did require a bit of shaking to make sure all of the oats were finely blended.
