is it worth the money and why?

Actually, the motor in this unit is more powerful than the Vitamix. I think only company that has more powerful motor is Blendtec. But you'll be shelling out at least $300 more. And this unit goes up to 24000 rpm which is same as Blendtec. Same speed... think...

Here's a nice comparison for those thinking about getting this or a Vitamix. I found it useful.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI0PEviX0qg

I would say no it isn't worth the $$$. If you're going to spend this much for a blender you might as well spend a little more and get a blentec or vitamix. I've had the Ninja and now own a Blendtec and let me tell you it is night and day. Not too mention those ninja blades are scary.

i think it is but it's not equal to vitamix because it isn't as smooth because the motor isn't as powerful. however, with that said, it's alot cheaper than a vitamix. but i didn't want to pay that much because i can't afford it so i bought this and i'm pleased with it. i bought a vitamix but returned it but it worked much better and was very smooth and the motor revved up more powerfully than the vitamix. let me put it to you this way, if money is not a consideration, get the vitamix because it's worth every penny, if you are on a limited income but want something close to a vitamix, get the ninja ultima it works pretty good but its no vitamix. i think it is but it's not equal to vitamix because it isn't as smooth because the motor isn't as powerful. however, with that said, it's alot cheaper than a vitamix. but i didn't want to pay that much because i can't afford it so i bought this and i'm pleased with it. i bought a vitamix but returned it but it worked much better and was very smooth and the motor revved up more powerfully than the vitamix. let me put it to you this way, if money is not a consideration, get the vitamix because it's worth every penny, if you are on a limited income but want something close to a vitamix, get... » Read More i think it is but it's not equal to vitamix because it isn't as smooth because the motor isn't as powerful. however, with that said, it's alot cheaper than a vitamix. but i didn't want to pay that much because i can't afford it so i bought this and i'm pleased with it. i bought a vitamix but returned it but it worked much better and was very smooth and the motor revved up more powerfully than the vitamix. let me put it to you this way, if money is not a consideration, get the vitamix because it's worth every penny, if you are on a limited income but want something close to a vitamix, get the ninja ultima it works pretty good but its no vitamix. « Show Less

Not as good as a vitamix ?.The Ninja is superior to the vitamix. The vitamix is good. but it way over priced. I have had a vitamix die on me after 4 months as well so I do not think the long term quality is there. The Ninja gets daily use, maybe 2 - 3x and I have had it over a year w/o a problem. I might try a vitamix again, but at this point, the Ninja does everything expected and I am not paying a premium for their marketing.

If you can afford it, get it. There is no such thing as "buying the crappy, just to learn" If I could I would own one.. Probably the only thing you can worry about is the size, some people don't like big cameras.

Hi, I think it is worth it. It is nice to have a designated place where your glasses won't get damaged. If you are like me, you need your glasses to find your glasses. I always know where to look now. Hope this helps.

Yes , it is certainly worth the money. Every cent of it. It is not greasy as most facial creams are, leaving your face' shiny' as if it wasn't washed. It is satiny and leaves the skin so lovely after you just applied it. It can be used day and night ( I do it). To me the best facial cream!

Forgive me but I don't have kids but yes I think it's worthwhile. But IPODs are the best MP3 players out there due to not just the player but the itunes application. And I don't currently own an ipod. Mine died awhile back. I went the cheap route and tried other players like sansa, which is one of the best in the industry for windows. Yet, IPOD (apple products) blows it out of the water. It's worth it. Refurbs are a risk but with a 12 year old I'd do it. And down the road after she's become a pro at using it maybe she get inspired to save up for her own. That's my own delusion thinking :-) As for warranties. It's 50/50 but still more cost effective. Best of luck. Forgive me but I don't have kids but yes I think it's worthwhile. But IPODs are the best MP3 players out there due to not just the player but the itunes application.

This is certainly worth $50. You can buy it used for cheaper, too. This is just my opinion, though.

Yes it is worth the money. I have bought three if these so far for family members. It's a knife like no other one you will find. Opens a fast as a switch blade!

Hi! Well this computer definitely has worked great for me, even though I just bought it. I use it mostly for programming and running heavy programs that use a lot of RAM and processor memory. The extras seem to be worth the $155, touch screen , 250gb more, 2 more cores and 3.5 mhz instead of the 2.7 of my Satelite one will make a lot of difference! I say, if you have the cash, go for it! You'll definitely love it and the touch screen will make it a lot easier to use. :)

Yes! :) its one of the great reasons we bought ours. I promise you won't regret it.

Yes it's worth buying. You get extra character slots, extra bank slots, 2 mounts, and few things you can sell for like 2k gold. All in all an exceptional value compared to buying each of those things separately.

Did you answer your own question above? My answer: Yes. I love it. Get it. It works fine. The competitors would rather have you spend big bucks with them instead of saving.
1310442
yes. I would think it is better than not having it. It will soften over time and may not last quite as long but still worth the money.

I think so. I love mine and for the money its a wonderful item. I got my first as a gift and its one of the best gifts I have ever got.

I used it to buy a TV last year. Well worth it if you have a steady income, but don't want to drop a lot of money at once. Been thinking of buying this laptop with this offer, since my old macbook is showing its age.

Haha...well, "worth it" is a bit of a subjective idea here...the first time your solid-pooping kiddo has a loose stool or gets sick and has diarrhea, it suddenly becomes "worth it!" It also becomes worth the money if you plan on having another child. And we also use ours for other things, like when cleaning the shower. So I do think it's worth it. But I've also heard of people using a solid plastic spatula to scrape the poo out, so maybe that's a safer bet if you're unsure ;)

Yes, to me it's worth it. There's a ton of games. With PS+ you can download games from PS1,PSP, VITA, etc.. If you have PS+ you get free games every month to keep if you keep your PS+ subscription current. After a few months of free games it pays for like half the cost of the VITA. Make sure you get a memory card if you will be downloading games. Or buy a bundle with a card. Some VITAs don't come with a card, like the regular Wi-Fi version. I have an 8GB card with a few games on it and there's still room left for at least a couple more. Hope this information helped!

No, It really isn't worth the money. The speakers are not bad but the unit it self is all plastic and is very shabby.
