The Ninja Foodi 2-in-1 Hand Blender Mixer (CI090UK) is an excellent choice for home cooks and bakers looking for a versatile, space-saving kitchen appliance. Its primary strength lies in its intelligent 850W POWERBASE, which seamlessly transforms between a full-sized hand mixer and a hand blender by automatically recognizing the attached accessory and adjusting power. While exceptionally convenient for various tasks from baking to pureeing, users should note that the hand blender function offers 2 dedicated speeds, which might be less granular control than some dedicated blenders, though the automatic adjustment compensates well for general use.

Effortless Attachment Switching: Designed for quick and easy swapping between the hand mixer and hand blender attachments, making transitions smooth during cooking.
Lightweight Design: Both the power base and attachments are engineered to be lightweight, ensuring comfortable and easy handling even during extended use.
Highly versatile 2-in-1 functionality saves space and effort.

The Ninja Foodi 2-in-1 Hand Blender Mixer excels in its ability to adapt to different kitchen tasks with a single powerful base. The 850W motor provides ample power for both mixing and blending. When the hand mixer attachment is connected, the POWERBASE intelligently delivers appropriate torque for whipping creams, beating eggs, or mixing batters for cakes and cookies.
For blending tasks, simply swap to the immersion blender attachment. The POWERBASE recognizes this and sets the appropriate speed ranges for pureeing soups directly in the pot, blending smoothies in a pitcher, or making homemade baby food. The two available blending speeds allow for control over texture, from smooth purees to slightly chunkier sauces.
Its lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver, whether you're blending hot soup in a deep pot or mixing a large bowl of dough. This adaptability makes it a valuable tool for everyday cooking and baking, reducing the need for multiple bulky appliances.
