Top complaints
Ninja BlendBOSS Personal Blender, 26 oz Tumbler
- Loud
Wirecutter measured an average of 94 dB from 5 inches (about hair-dryer level), and Tom's Guide hit 92 dB crushing frozen fruit. Amazon's summary notes it can be loud.
- Only one tumbler
Both Wirecutter and Tom's Guide list the single cup as a drawback for shared households. Ninja doesn't offer other cup sizes, per Wirecutter.
- Leaky or hard-to-open lid
Low-star Walmart reviews (24 oz DB300 listing) report the lid leaking through the sip button and being hard to remove; Tom's Guide wants a lid lock.
Breville Fresh and Furious Blender
- Lid hard to remove
Wirecutter says the tight lid takes a lot of strength to open, and smoothie liquid often splatters when it comes off. Amazon owners are mixed on lid removal.
- Durability and noise are mixed
Amazon's summary says some owners report bearings failing in under 2 years, and some call it outrageously loud while others don't.
- Less power, smaller jar, no tamper
Wirecutter found berry seeds and specks of greens left in its smoothies. The 48 oz jar is smaller than its other picks, and without a tamper it needs extra liquid.
