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.

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 container has a very large capacity and has a spout to allow for easy serving directly from the jar. The maximum liquid capacity is 64oz, though, even if the jar can otherwise contain 72oz. Note that you need to set the jar in a specific orientation for it to clip on the base.
The Ninja Mega Kitchen System comes with two additional 16oz personal jars. The blender automatically detects which jar is in use and allows for single-serve speeds only.
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.

- Chopping blade assembly for processor bowl

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.
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.
When using the 16oz personal jar, the smoothie results are much better than with the main jar. There's not a lot of air introduced in the mix and the drink is fresh, smooth, and fast to process.
The main jar is just okay for making smoothies. While it doesn't take too much time to make, the result isn't as smooth as when you use the personal jar. The lack of vortex introduces a lot of air in the blend, which results in a foamy texture. If you want to use your blender's large main jar to make big batches of smoothies, you may prefer the Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher SS201.
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.
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.
It's very easy to clean this full-size blender. The removable blade assembly can be put in the dishwasher, and everything is easily accessible. All jars are also dishwasher-safe.
This blender doesn't have that many extra features. Unlike the Ninja DUO, it comes with a food processing attachment and a few accessories for this part. However, it can't make hot mixes like soup or bulletproof coffee, which may be disappointing for some.
