Question 1

Is the auto-iq feature worth having or should i buy a model without auto-iq

Accepted Answer

depends...its kinda a two-edged sword..The auto iq limits the programming to a specific container so if you wanted to use the smoothie/extractor function, it will only work when dedicated containers are attached..for example, we had the bl492 first with 1200 watts and it did a splendid job with the individual cups on the smoothie/extract option, so we had a chance to get the more powerful 1500 bl682 model and were bitterly disappointed when we wanted to do our smoothies directly in the cups b ut when attached only offered the blend option. Did nnt do as good a job as the previous model that allowed it. so long story short, we went back to the lower model so we could have the best smoothies made oin the cups. the larger model made you use the huge blender to use the smoothie function and we couldn't see making family size smoothie batches every time...so be forewarned, the different containers may "fit" different models, b ut don't necessary allow you to use whatever function you prefer as each model is programmed differently. So I would think the non-auto-iq might allow more freedom to choose blending methods.

Question 2

So the warranty on Amazon is One Year when it is a lifetime warranty when purchased through the Nutri Ninja website?

Accepted Answer

5 year warranty if bought threw ninja website, you can pay 39.95 extra for a lifetime warranty as well. I just bought this model from the ninja website and got it for 136.65 using the promo code FRIENDS20. The have it on sale for 159.99 then the promo code gives you 20% off.

Question 3

What is the difference between model bl642 and bl642z?

Accepted Answer

Like most other kitchen appliances these days, we pay extra for stainless steel finishes. The Ninja blenders come with two finishes: black and stainless. The model number indicates the finish; if there is a Z at the end, the finish is stainless, whereas all others are black. Both of the above referenced models (642 & 642z) come with the same accessories. The 682 model comes with the additional food processor accessory.

Question 4

will it grind an orange,peel and all.cut into wedges?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You might want to use Ultra Blend twice. I have ground apples and carrots but not oranges.
