Ninja Foodi Blender & Soup Maker in Black

Most blenders can't heat, and most soup makers can't blend properly — the Ninja Foodi does both in one jug, which means you can go from raw ingredients to a smooth, hot bisque without touching a separate pan. That sounds like a small convenience until you realise it also handles pasta sauces, jams, and frozen cocktails, making it one of the more genuinely versatile countertop appliances you can buy. The cooking-while-blending function is the real draw here: it uses a heating element at the base combined with blade action, so textures develop rather than just getting liquidised.

Who Is This For?

This suits someone who cooks from scratch regularly but hates washing up — a household that makes weekly batches of soup, sauce, or baby food will get consistent use from it. It's also a strong fit for anyone with a small kitchen who can't justify both a blender and a dedicated soup maker taking up separate shelf space. If you only want a blender for smoothies or protein shakes, this is oversized and overpriced for that job — a standard Nutribullet will serve you better for less.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the smooth, restaurant-quality results on pureed soups and the speed at which it reaches temperature. The chunky soup setting — which blends partially rather than fully — gets particular mentions for getting the texture right without babysitting. The most common frustration is the capacity: at 1.7 litres it's fine for two to three portions, but owners cooking for larger families find themselves running multiple batches, which somewhat undermines the convenience factor.

The Deal

At £129.99, down from £179.99, you're saving £50 — but the price history across 72 data points tells a more nuanced story: the average tracked price is £130.68, meaning this product spends almost all its time at or near this figure, with £179.99 being a high-end outlier rather than a genuine regular price. This is effectively the standard going rate, not an exceptional markdown. Worth buying if you need it now, but don't feel pressured by the "was" price.
