The Ninja Mega Kitchen System BL770 is a good overall blender. It comes with a large main jar and two additional personal jars for smoothies. It also has a food processor attachment with extra accessories. It comes with very sharp blades that do a great job at crushing ice and makes very smooth almond butter. However, it doesn't do hot mixing, so it's not recommended for making soups. On the upside, it's very easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
Our Verdict

The Ninja Mega Kitchen System BL770 is an excellent blender for professional use thanks to its sturdy design and great overall performance. It's easy and quick to clean, on top of being dishwasher safe. Thanks to its very large pitcher, you can make very large portions, but its smoothies are much better when using the smaller personal jars.

Test Results
This is a rather bulky blender. It's pretty tall and large, so it either needs to be stored in a spacious kitchen cupboard or directly on your counter.
This blender is very well-built. The plastic used feels solid, although the transmission gear could have been metal, which would feel more durable. On the upside, the assembly of all pieces is premium, and there are no gaps. Overall, it feels high-end.
The main pitcher has a big 72-ounce capacity. It also comes with a pair of 18-ounce personal jars included for single-serve drinks like smoothies. Also included is a 64-ounce food processing bowl that you can use with its own blade assembly for chopping and slicing. If you want a combo food processor/blender with a somewhat more compact design, you may prefer the Ninja Foodi Power Blender Ultimate System, which comes with different blades for slicing and grating that work with the main pitcher instead of a separate jar.
The blades are very sharp and can easily be removed for cleaning. You can easily put them on the top rack of the dishwasher as well. This blender also comes with additional blades for the personal jars and the food processor attachment.
The main jar only locks into place when the arrow on the lid is aligned with the corresponding arrow on the jar. While there's no dedicated mechanism to add ingredients to your mix, you can raise the serving beak if you want to put in small items or liquid, although this isn't as convenient as a 2-part lid.
The power cord is long enough for you to reach an outlet near your counter. However, it doesn't have any stowaway compartment to hide it when not in use.

It's fantastic for processing small batches of fibrous ingredients. Using one of the 18-ounce personal jars, it takes roughly two minutes to make a very silky smoothie with ingredients like kale. The only downside is that you need to hold down the 'Single Serve' button during the process.
It's good at processing fibrous ingredients in the main jar. If you use its full 72-ounce capacity, it makes a very well-blended puree with ingredients like kale. The ingredients aren't completely liquified, and you can see some small grains leftover. A more major downside is that you need to blend for almost 10 minutes for the best results.
The Ninja BL770's ice crushing performance is outstanding. It takes a very short amount of time to crush the ice down to a snow-like consistency, which is amazing.
This blender is excellent at making almond butter. Unlike the NutriBullet Blender Combo, this blender creates a smooth texture without any chunks. It spreads easily, although it takes a few minutes to fully process.
While the blender doesn't have a fine-tuning speed dial like the Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher System, you still have four different preset speeds. The recorded speeds are measured with the main jar and you reach the lowest speed with the 'Dough' setting and the maximum speed with the 'Crush' setting.
On top of having a 'Crush' and a 'Single-Serve' setting, you can use the food processing attachment for dough with the right program and blade assembly. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a self-clean program, which can be found on high-end models. If you're looking for a blender with a timer, check out the Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System with Auto-iQ.

Ηowever, the Nutribullet makes a much smoother puree with fibrous ingredients like kale in its main jar, so it's a better choice for big batches of smoothies or soup.
