Saw this in my local Coles in Macquarie, ACT. Not sure if it is nation wide. Most other retailers seem to be selling this for $89 so looks like a great deal! I bought one before posting this because they only had two units. 😉

Isn't that just a friggin blender?
It's a mini blender, so the thing you blend it in becomes the glass you drink it out of.
Isn't that just a friggin blender?
I have a blender and a nutribullet and they definitely don't do the same job…
I was skimming and first read that as Fruit Ninja Slim…dunno how. Must be tired.
Blending food means you lose weight and unlock previously non-existing nutrition don't you know :p
It's true…
No, it means you keep the nutrition of the fruit and veg and not juice out just the sugar
it's the easiest way to consume all sorts of disgusting veggies and fruits and health foods in one go
cabbage? salads? yuck!
I hate those Nutribullet adverts. It's a complete lie about "unleashing" more nutrients by pulverising food until there's no fibre left. The process actually destroys many nutrients and means we're missing out on necessary fibre. Together that means higher GI level and a quicker assimilation of sugar. (I study nutrition.)
I don't you lose fibre, even when it is broken down, also how is it destroying nutrients? I know the juicers that spit out the pulp match all your points, but I don't think they are relevant for these types of devices.
As for the GI, well I guess that's true if you are blending certain fruits.
Can you cite some relevant facts here?
I learned through my nutrition certifications. Their courses are copyright, so I can't copy and paste anything, sorry.
I think the question to ask is can the person wanting to take your money prove their claims? (It's important to remember there's more fraud in the diet industry than any other industry.)
It's far too in-depth to go into, properly, but I'll do my best with a very brief description.All blenders destroy some fibre, just how much depends on various factors, such as the type of blades, how fast they're spinning, what's being blended (including mixtures of foods) and how long the food is blended for.
Think of it like chopping up a log and making wood chips. A bunch of logs floating down a stream will push other things along with them. If you chop the logs into saw dust, they won't be much good at pushing other things along. -A tree representing insoluble fibre and a river being a person's intestinal tract. There's two groups of fibre: soluble and insoluble. Insoluble works like a broom to push other stuff through our body and "mop up" saturated fats etc. Because of this, insoluble fibre helps prevent a range of medical problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and constipation. Having insoluble fibre, aids in slowing down the digestive process, allowing our bodies to assimilate (absorb and make use of) more nutrients. If we don't get enough fibre, then our intestinal system can clog up.
Vitamins are made up of molecular chains. Molecules may be small, but those molecular chains can still be broken by the actions of a blender. It's all much the same as mowing the lawn, but on a micro scale.
I hope that helps. The best way to understand it is to do a nutrition course. A certificate of diet and nutrition costs a few hundred dollars and takes a few months to complete, but it's worth it if you're interested enough. Personally, I love the science of nutrition. (Just as well because, being vegan, I need to be sure about getting a balanced diet.)
Sorry but while you may be right that was a horrible attempt at trying to show that you are.
We are on the INTERNET, surely you can find a source for your claims?
If you can't find a reliable source then you are probably wrong.
Hiding behind nutrition certifications, when you should know that they are only based on what they think is correct at the time, is stupid.
@samfisher5986:
OK, tosser. I went out of my way to describe something that you are too damned lazy to bother researching for yourself. I didn't have to do anything, but I was kind enough to help.
I told you I PAID to learn what I know. I'm not about to write a fifty page essay on the topic, all because you'd rather beLIEve the lies of a company than someone who is actually legally qualified to give nutritional advice. I've told you what the facts are. I have nothing to gain by lying, but the companies who sell products do.
If you want to learn about nutrition then get off your arse and do something about it! Just don't ever expect me to help you again!hahah what? You do realise I was not the original person you replied to?
Paying to learn information does not make it correct, I am sorry you potentially wasted your money.
The fact that you get angry by pointing out your lack of sources really shows that you have no source.
They actually teach you to make your own decisions via multiple sources in high school. Might be useful.
@Captain Electrode:
Food is naturally broken down into its components in your digestive system. A nutri ninja and other like it are fooling the average person making them think it provides more nutrition when it doesn't. Our learned friend with nutrition knowledge states some known facts about fibre but at the end of the day buying this useless.A blender, blends but it does not do any more to provide one with more nutrition. My source - have a look at elementary human digestion.
I think you misunderstand what Captain Crybaby said
He said blending "destroys" nutrients and fibre.
I don't think anyone here is claiming that nutrininja increases nutrition except those lame TV ads.
Good find OP. Has anyone used it before and how does it compare to other brands such as Nutri Bullet?
how does it compare to other brands such as Nutri Bullet?
the cups are much smaller for a start…
I'm not even sure if 700W is powerful enough to blend stuff. Maybe I should just wait for the Ninja Pro to drop in price
I'm not even sure if 700W is powerful enough
My nutribullet is 600W and it's awesome… Use it everyday…
Is it better then $100-150 blenders?
yep, our blender was around $200… You can't but a carrot in a normal blender, blend it and then drink it… It's mainly to do with the shape of the blades.
The 200-300W blenders are just mixers. I have a 1000w version that was on sale for $99
I've seen what 650w hilti hammer drill can do to concrete I think 700w is plenty to chop through some fruit.
Ninja Pro is $150 at Harris Scarfe
Slim works well, does not fully liquify kale but comes pretty damn close.
But that's like double the price. Is it worth it though?
It's $250
http://www.harrisscarfe.com.au/search?x=0&y=0&text=nutri+nin…10% of that is enough to blend stuff.
@jv:
You can in mine. It's a 600W commercial grade blender with six blades. That thing could blend bricks! :-p
Does this activate my almonds?
Yes, just add water…
The issue with this is that the unit only pulses. So u have to hold the switch down to continually blend.
It wouldn't really matter right? This way you can choose how fine or thick you want your smoothie to be. But then again your arms may go tired from pressing down all the time
It wouldn't matter no. Doesn't take long anyway. I would think you could push down and twist to lock anyway.
My local Wollies has had the same at the same price for the last few weeks at least… I didn't think it was worth mentioning?
Scoresby wollies have been clear ancient these for $44
Can this blender crush ice? Im planning to buy one. Thanks
yes it does! I bought mine last week and I use it everyday (if not twice a day)! Its amazing!
I bought it from binglee during ebay's 15% off sale, ended up having it delivered for $80
What's amazing about it?!!!!!!
Well its powerful, you can create amazing smoothies in less than a minute and its so easy to clean! And there's not a huge price tag attached to it.
We bought one 4 months ago $85 and love it…..Powerful, crushes ice and takes 1 minute to wash up…. We use it every day….
Crush ice no need washing.
I like that you get all the fiber of the ingredients rather than just juice. That's important because a glass of apple juice contains around 5 apples worth of juice but none of the fibre so you get a massive sugar hit. Try eating five apples normally.
The supplied cups hold 500ml of fluid and from what I've seen in reviews you can put more ingredients in an equivalent size cup compared to NutriBullet. Yes you can buy more powerful units with more accessories and bigger cups but most of that stuff will just collect dust. You need to hold it down for 10-15 seconds to blitz a cup of ingredients. Better than having the motor overheat.
At $69, so far it is a winner for me!
Was at Woolies for $44.50 (think RRP was $89?). Had a few there for the past week on shelf (I go there every second day) but when I came back today (after realising what a … bargain it was) there were none. Maybe some others had the same realisation. I should have known it was a good deal being 50% off but sometimes with these 'as seen on tv' things they have plastic junk overpriced that wouldn't even juice a few strawberries. This seems like a good thing.
Anyway, there last night, gone this lunch time. After seeing that deal at Woolies and this one here, even though I want the product and $69 is around my price point (my local Coles has plenty of stock) I'm not going to pull the trigger. Just because I knew how much it was being cleared for around 30% less elsewhere. I really need a juicer as well (had enough of binging on coke life and pepsi next thinking it's "healthy")
Store manager at Woolies suggested I called around but so far three stores and it's all been cleared.
Is it just me, or does it look like a fruity lava lamp in the picture?
yupe, not just you.
Any in Sydney? Or is this offer online?
Got one from the recent Dick Smith 30% off everything. Absolutely love it!
Does anyone know where to purchase extra cups? Thanks!
GASP
I see Lego Friends in the picture! What sets are those and how much are they?
So is this available Aus wide at coles?
Ozbargain, you've convinced me to get one.
This phenomenon is explained perfectly in Juzz0s first paragraph heh.
Ive got the Nutri Ninja Pro version of this and love it. Was definitely a good buy, theyre quick and easy to use and easy to clean too which makes them amazing. The version I got was 900 watt and blends things like carrots, almonds, chia seeds etc easily. Admittedly this version is a fraction less wattage sitting at 700 watt so cant speak for its capabilities but Im sure itd be fine. And especially since I paid $160 on sale for my version this ones a bargain :)
EDIT: If anyones looking for the Nutri Ninja Pro version which you can pay up to $250 at some places its here for $162 - http://www.billyguyatts.com.au/ninja-nutri-ninja-pro-blender… I got mine tho on sale recently at Good Guys for $160 so if you keep an eye out you might be able to pick one up there at this price too
Oh nice, bargain. Yeah I just did a Shopbot search on it to come up with the price above. Nice find :)
Which characteristics of a ninja does this blender embody?
If you put your hand into a ninja's mouth, you will lose it. If you put your hand into this while it's running, ditto. No similarity in volume levels.
Personally I was thinking if you got a whole heap of ninjas with cool swords, shrunk them with a shrink ray and then put them in a cup, itd be pretty similar :)
but then your smoothies would taste of sweaty ninja balls too
I'm struck by the number of people on this thread that seem "amazed" by a blender chopping up carrots and ice and things …
Same. I used my sisters bullet a couple of times. It does a good job. But not really a huge difference from the stick mixer that I generally use.
Unless you do a lot of green smoothies with difficult to blend stuff like chia seeds and whatnot, you might find it a bit superfluous.
It chops a lot finer than a typical blender and much easier to use compared to stick.
A stick blender is fine for soft fruit and veg but would never chop up a carrot and make a smooth paste lump free. This blender atleast the 900 watt version Ive got turns everything you put into it into a smooth paste including even something as hard as raw beetroot it just completely destroys it instantly and you end up with a paste its great. Definitely recommend it :)
Ive got an 800 watt Kenwood stick. Blends raw veggies into smooth baby food and even grinds dried chickpeas into flour. Not knocking these blenders but they don't do anything a good quality stick can't, and a stick is more versatile in my opinion.
I can confirm it's available at that price in syd Coles.
Now…what does one do with this thing if you don't particularly like fruit?
Convert the blender into a long range weapon, add a chain, and star in a 1980s Kung Fu movie with a silly name like "The OzBargainer With The Death Blender".
Banana, milo, milk, ice makes a moderately healthy shake and you really don't taste the banana. I'm also using mine for cocktails. 😎
I just bought one from Coles in Moonee Ponds, Victoria. Looking forward to giving it a go - reviews online are favourable!
Because it's the Slim model
