Amazon's bestselling Ninja blender (a rare 50% off) doubles as a food processor

Holiday meal prep is about to get a whole lot easier: This powerful multitasker purées soups, kneads dough and more.

Expecting a crowd for the holidays? A powerful blender is a must for whipping up velvety soups and sauces. And of course you fruit-and-fitness fans know how much money you can save making your own smoothies in the morning. But some uber-blenders — like the No. 1 bestselling Ninja Mega Kitchen System — can do so much more : It features several attachments to handle your blending needs, along with food processing, dough-kneading and more. It's so popular, it often sells out — but it's currently in stock and on rare sale at Amazon.

Your starting lineup for this kitchen game changer: A 72-ounce pitcher, 8-cup food processor and two 16-ounce single-serve cups you can take on the go.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

With a brand like Ninja, you know you're getting a quality product, so the fact that this blender/food processor combo is down to $100 (from $200) makes it a sale worth jumping on. In fact, this is the best price we've seen it for all year — as low as it was last Black Friday — so it's unlikely to dip any lower. More than 10,000 were purchased in the past month, FYI...

Why do I need this? 🤔

There's so much to love about this Ninja. For starters, it has a powerful 1,500-watt motor to effortlessly work its way through whatever ingredients you throw at it — think ice, frozen fruit, raw veggies and more.

The blending pitcher is a sizable 72 ounces, allowing you to make crowd-pleasing portions of sauces, frozen drinks and soups in one go. (Ooh, cranberry margaritas for Thanksgiving!) Need to chop ingredients? Done in seconds. Prep some bread-to-be? Simply attach the food processor bowl — it can handle up to two pounds of dough.

There are even two 16-ounce to-go cups that attach right to the base, allowing you to make personalized juices and smoothies. And, because this is from Ninja — i.e., a consumer-friendly brand — all the cups, blades and lids are dishwasher-safe.

What reviewers say 💬

This kitchen system has gotten rave reviews from over 36,000 Amazon shoppers.

Pros 👍

"This blender/food processor is awesome," said a five-star fan. "It will chew up anything you put in it. It makes chopping/mincing a snap. I'm looking forward to discovering new ways to use it in the kitchen."

A fellow happy customer called this blender "so useful" and gushed about it, saying, "This is probably one of the best purchases I've made in my life. It's so useful if you like to have smoothies for breakfast. One of the things that held me back in the past was having to use a giant container to just make one smoothie. Also, great for making salad dressings. I use it for dough and cutting vegetables. It's a great value for all its uses."

"It has literally transformed our kitchen into a restaurant," raved a third. "It chews through ice like it's nothing, makes absolutely amazing frozen coffees. I put some chicken breasts into the food processor ... was just curious [to see] what would happen, with a big can of cream of mushroom soup. This thing shredded the chicken in seconds; [I] ended up using the result to make an amazing casserole. ... Even the single-serve cups that come with this thing can destroy ice like it's nothing, and frozen fruits as well..."

Cons 👎

"I wish the food processor had a slicer, that is my only gripe," said a generally pleased user, adding,"Does a fantastic and noisy job."

"Honestly, the noise is my only complaint," echoed a final fan, adding, "As long as you can bear it for the 30 seconds it takes to blend your drink/recipe, you're good. Bonus is it's friend-, kid- and guest-proof, safety features prevent any mishaps and no one will be able to jam up the motor by stuffing too much spinach in there, I'm fairly certain."

Make smoothies, chop ingredients, create cookie dough and more with this handy kitchen system.

Another kitchen workhorse? This No. 1 bestselling Fullstar Vegetable Chopper:

The cure for pre-dinner countertop chaos. All you do is place your vegetable of choice in the chopper, press the lever down, and bam! You'll have perfectly cubed produce that falls right into the attached storage container. 

"Impressive!" exclaimed one happy home cook. "It makes chopping up small veggies like baby carrots, onions and celery a breeze. I'm a senior now with arthritis, and this really helps speed things up in the kitchen while giving my achy hands and fingers a break from the rigors of manually chopping up everything."
