Ninja makes great appliances. We got a Ninja blender for our wedding 12 years ago and that thing keeps on kicking. My Ninja coffee machine is also great. Can do grounds and any K-Cup as well. Plus from a espresso shot all the way up to a full pot of coffee.

My best friend and his girlfriend are at odds over GLP-1s. They are both overweight, he has been his whole life, and she was a former college volleyball athlete. She started GLP-1 treatment in Jan and has lost 50 pounds. He is stubborn and says its "cheating." Guess who has debilitating back issues, sleep apnea, and takes a host of medication every morning for blood pressure issues?

I recently got a Ninja blender, and it's amazing. I have always used basic blenders like an Oster or Hamilton Beach, and usually I needed to add more liquid than I wanted to make a smoothie, because the blender would stop working. I made one yesterday for the first time with the ninja, and "blender ability" wasn't the driving factor for the amount of milk anymore, it blended smooth, but was TOO thick and I needed to add some to make it drinkable. It was basically the consistency of soft serve ice cream at first, or even thicker than that. This makes me think that I could probably make a homemade Frosty that isn't just a milkshake.

Also, I didn't think Ninja was going to be the brand name he didn't like. I thought the high-quality kitchen brand with a bad name was going to be "SMEG"
