Question 1

Does "Euro-Pro" mean this has a European plug?

Accepted Answer

No, it is just marketing flash to make us think, "Ooooooh, Euro-Pro....how exotic."

Regular plug, and this thing is amazing.  Better than vitamix, and I am constantly amazed at how well it blends.  Never had a better one.

Question 2

Is the 'pitcher' glass or plastic?

Accepted Answer

plastic

Question 3

Anyone know the horsepower of the motor? Trying to compare it to  a vitamix which has 2.0 - 2.2 peak hp motors.

Accepted Answer

It's not a Vitamix (clearly with a $400 price difference) but I've not had any issue with the 1100 watt motor.  Turns ice into snow and frozen fruit into smoothies.  I think the big difference in performance btw Vitamix and this is the Ninja doesn't liquify everything completely (like seeds in berries and there are tiny little flecks of spinach in a green juice).  For the price I'm very happy with my purchase.  I love the single serve cup and don't know what I would use without it.  I've had mine for about a year and use it fairly reguarly.

Question 4

I am currently using this product, but it is very noisy. Is it supposed to be noisy at all?  Can  I crush ice with it can it be used to crushed large pieces of ice?

Accepted Answer

I have used both the large and small blending containers to crush ice without issue. The smaller tends to puree the ice better the larger one. As far as noise, it all seems no louder or quieter than any blender I've ever used.
