Ninja BN701 Showdown: Auto IQ, 72-oz Pitcher & 3 Functions Tested for Winter Drinks We put the Ninja BN701 to the test during the chilliest days of winter, and it didn't disappoint. With 1400 peak watts, this blender tackles heavy-duty tasks with ease, blending frozen drinks, ice cream, and smoothies into silky perfection. The Auto IQ system automatically detects ingredients and adjusts settings, eliminating guesswork for busy mornings or cozy evenings. The 72-oz. pitcher and secure lid are a game-changer for batch preps, whether you're making a frosty cocktail for a crowd or a single serving of creamy chocolate ice cream. Its dark grey finish feels sleek and durable, while the three predefined functions-Smoothie, Frozen Drink, and Ice Cream-streamline the process without sacrificing versatility. Though we noticed a slight learning curve with the Auto IQ's nuances, the BN701 proved its worth with consistent performance and a sturdy build. A reliable companion for winter indulgences, it balances power and simplicity with impressive results.
