A great Blender, but wait, there’s more!,
I’ve had this little gem only a few days, but have already put it through a few paces. I bought the “professional” model for the extra power (50 watts doesn’t seem like much, until you try to crush ice). The unit is easy to set up, store, and clean. I like the fact that the power unit is very small yet powerful. The power “pod” moves from one container to the other without the necessity of cleaning blades if several different items are being chopped or blended. My first smoothie came out without any lumps of either ice or frozen fruit, something that was impossible in my more expensive Krups machine. I’ve made salsa in the smaller bowl, then blended icy Margaritas in the pitcher in the next moment without having to clean the blades or bowls (each bowl/pitcher comes with a specific blade set just for that container). I find it practical, simple, and sturdy. Great value for the money, because you are getting a blender with 2 sizes of pitchers (40 and 48 oz), plus a food processer with a 16oz bowl. Each comes with a separate lid in case you wish to store in the same bowl…although I don’t think this is something I will do. I must still remind myself to PULSE the machine as there are no controls like on a traditional blender or food processor, but I’ve retired my Krups and the Oster in favor of this model. The parts are dishwasher safe, but very easy to hand wash, also. So far, I love it!

|Fantastic Chopper but…,
I got this chopper a couple of months ago. What I intended to buy the Ninja for has been great, so I will rate it on that. I will also review the issues I have with it.
I bought the Ninja to replace my small chopper. I absolutely love the double blade system, because it chops things very consistently; which was the reason I replaced my old chopper. I did not buy this to replace a blender OR a food processor, the `blender’ was just an added bonus.
When chopping small things, it has been fabulous! My old chopper, like Ninja’s spokesperson claims, turned the bottom food to mush, while the top food is still unchopped. With the Ninja, as long as I `pulse’ as the instructions recommend, it works great. I’ve noticed, though, if I push down the power and leave it down, (usually when I’m in a hurry) I end up with the same results as my old chopper, so the key really is to `pulse’.
When it comes to ease of use, the Ninja is not:
-The motor on top is too big and bulky: My old chopper was a hand held immersion blender/chopper, so the handheld motor was interchangeable with the wand and the chopper bowl. If I needed to add other ingredients or push the contents down with a spoon, I could grab the motor (attached to the lid) with one hand and have the spoon or contents in my other hand to add. With the Ninja, I have to pull the motor off with both hands (because it is so bulky) then pry the lid off with both hands (because of the suction) then I can add the stuff. But then I have to realign the motor back onto the lid, sometimes it goes on easily, sometimes it doesn’t (if you get easily frustrated with things, this isn’t the system for you).
-The blade shaft goes directly into the motor, instead of the motor attaching to a lid: This `seems’ like it would work fine, until you fill the bowl and the contents get on the shaft of the blades; which will inevitably happen because the blades have to be in place before you can add the contents. With my old chopper, I added the blade, then the lid had a gear that fit with the blade shaft, and the motor was geared with the lid. So, if I got yogurt or any sort of slop on the blade shaft, it would be on the lid, which could be thrown into the dishwasher. With the Ninja, the blade goes directly into the motor. So, after you fill the bowl with food, you need to make sure you wipe the shaft of the blade off, before it goes into the motor, because you can’t put the motor in the dishwasher, and unless you wrap the end of something very slender with a wet rag, you won’t get the slop out of the motor…especially in the little cracks.
-The blades take up all the room: Once you have your blades set in the bowl, the stuff you add has to be small enough to fall in around the blades. So, you have to pre-chop before putting it in the chopper, which sort of defeats the purpose of the chopper in the first place (unless you’re a really slow chopper like me, then it’s perfect)!
As far as the `blender’ feature, I wasn’t all that impressed. Since it is winter time, I haven’t had a need for blended or shaved ice (I can get that in the yard), so I can’t rate how well it blends ice. I did, however, try to blend a pot of soup into bisque, and it didn’t turn out very smooth at all. I ended up using my immersion blender to finish it. I noticed another reviewer mentioned that you have to keep moving the ice around, to get the smooth shaved ice. That’s what I had to do with my soup. I thought with three blades, it would move the contents around enough to blend it up, but it didn’t, even when pulsing. I ran into the same problem when trying to make faux mashed potatoes out of cauliflower (gotta try everything with picky eaters). The cauliflower was cut into bite sized pieces and steamed before it was put into the blender. When I was blending it, it was just `stirring’ it all together, instead of `blending’ it. I had to keep taking off the lid and pushing the cauliflower down with a spoon to get it to `blend’. It finally did `blend’ but with much poking and prodding, I will probably just use the immersion blender next time, less hassle.
I also need to point out, when I first got my Ninja, I was getting ready to use it and my father in law pulled out the blades to look at them. I didn’t notice how they were put back in the bowl, but they fit in and looked right, and it was the first time I used it. It made a god-awful racket, and it wasn’t chopping anything. I took the motor off, and saw plastic shavings on the top of the lid. My husband came and flipped the second blade over and it worked fine. Since the blade and the motor gears were stripped, we took it back to the store, and I decided to get another one. The new one has worked fine (as long as the blades are in correctly) but I’m a little weary as to how long they will last this time.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a…

|Love it!,
A friend suggested this to me and after her review and research, I decided to get it. I have owned the Ninja Master Prep for a little over a month and it is as advertised. You do need to make sure you don’t overload it. I’ve learned to use the pitcher for most things. The pour spout makes it easy to add more liquid if needed. I’ve made mixed berries ice cream, strawberry ice cream, iced coffee and chicken salad. My great-grandson loves the ice cream. I use frozen fruit, reg. milk and a little sugar for him, splenda for me and it’s perfect. I make as much as I want and if there is a little left over put the lid on and put it in the freezer. I have strawberry ice cream in the freezer now. I freeze left over coffee in an ice tray. Put frozen coffee, coffee mate, splenda and milk in the pitcher and mix. The only problem so far, after I have 1 ice coffee I want another. I would buy this again and would love to have an additional pitcher.

|Looking for more in depth Fib information,
I’m a part time trader, read over 50 trading books, and wanted to learn more about Fibonacci and how I can improve my trading using this method. I was underwhelmed by Fibonacci Trading. From the reviews I read I thought I would get a great foundation of Fib analysis. Unfortunately this book did not meet my expectations. Either using fib is pretty easy or there is a lot more information that this book is missing. There were a lot of charts and examples but I felt the author’s style was to show me a lot of charts to understand how to use Fib but I wished there were a lot more rules, insights, methodology, etc. For example she didn’t go into detail of when you should place the start of your fib lines.

|Good book, not for novices.,
Traders reading this book should have a basic understanding of technical analysis and charting.
I am familiar with Carolyn’s work and this book really does explain 95% of the trading methodology she uses in her trading room.
You do not need the software (Dynamic Trader) mentioned in the book to use her setups. It makes it more convenient (especially the time cycle setups) but any halfway decent trading platform makes it pretty easy to apply the techniques.
As with any trading technique, risk management and mental mastery are as important as the actual entry/exit strategies.

|FINALLY A NEW TAKE ON FIBONACCI TRADING,
To start off I would like nothing more than to take this golden nugget of a book and lock it up never to be seen by anyone except for me, but alas I feel it a duty to give an honest review on what I believe to be a great NEW take on fibonacci trading. I use the term NEW loosely, it’s new to most traders because I’ve never found anyone who teaches what Carolyn covers in depth here, and I feel it offers more value than all the other fib systems that have been around for years.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the author at a seminar in Los Angeles back in Feb 08, and if I have ever seen anyone working their butt off putting their system to the test on a daily basis it was Carolyn(and no I dont work for her). It was simply amazing to see this method which I had not tried or heard about(I’ve been trading over 9years) of applying fibonacci levels overlapping each other to confirm setups for potential trades, symmetry setups and time and price confluence and cycles creating a robust set of tools for improving ones trading results. And her results were phenomenal, the prices would react like magnets on the charts she had clusters layed up on, I don’t know how else to put it other than impressive! One of the great things about this book is that it’s full of charts on almost every page, with a topic like this its nice to see plenty of visual elements to keep you focused on the material being taught, the writing is clear and concise and even though most people will doze off when reading trading books the information is to the point, enough to keep you awake and plugging away at it. Believe me financial books are the number one cure for insomniacs!!!!
I have to say in my opinion this book is not for a total newbie to trading, it would help if you’ve at least read one or two other books on trading(not investing) or chart reading, because this books is clearly focused on applying Fibonacci techniques to your trading, its not an intro book on how to trade. One thing to note, she is using a specialty program to draw her charts, thats not available on any trading platforms(I use TradeStation,Omnitrader) or charting websites. So if you want to draw it the way she has you many consider purchasing the program, it may be a good investment in your trading career, or you could always sign up to her Trading Room where she does all the work for you.
I truly believe using whats taught here is a great set of tools to add to any strategy or system to improve your probability of having winning trades, and I am glad she chose to share her knowledge and expertise to help more traders find success.!
