Question 1

can you make mayonaise in this

Accepted Answer

Yes, I make mayonnaise with my old Ninja square blender with the tiered blades all the time.  Don't make mayonnaise if there is a thunder storm in the forecast that day, it won't emulsify.   The 4 steps I have followed successfully are:  Step 1: place eggs, oil and spices into large blender with blades.  Blend on high till thoroughly combined, using a small scraper to get any spices that stuck to the side incorporated into the mixture.  Step 2: slowly blend half the oil in a trickle into the egg mixture.  To do this without making a huge mess in the kitchen, I drape a dish towel over my pouring hand, place the tip of a measuring cup with the oil into the spout opening, fold the spout cover down as far as it will go, cover the whole business with the towel, and slowly pour a small stream the size of a pencil into the pitcher while blending on Dough or Crush (low or medium).  You can slow down if you think it will help but I haven't found it to be very fussy about how quickly I add the oil.   It will begin to wobble the machine once the emulsion occurs, and you may need to hold the base or lock it to the counter to stabilize the machine.  Turn off, scrape down, repeat if the sides are covered with oil.  Step 3.  Dump in the acid (vinegar or lemon juice) and blend all at once quickly, scrape down sides, then blend again.  Emulsion will be slightly looser after adding vinegar, but still thickened.   Step 4:  As in Step 2, trickle in the remaining portion of oil on medium (crush) speed, and expect the wobble and strain of the increased thickness of the emulsion till all the oil is blended in.  Scrape down.   The resulting product may be much more runny than you expect compared to a commercial mayonnaise out of a store bought jar.   It usually thickens alot when chilled, and the density of the emulsion may be different from batch to batch.   https://www.food.com/recipe/easy-blender-mayonnaise-185064   The recipe is located on Food.com by Alleycatb titled Easy Blender Mayonnaise     Since I like to use local organic free range eggs, organic oil and spices, raw apple cider vinegar, and honey instead of sugar,  I really like to make my own mayonnaise from scratch!   It allows me to make a highly costly, nutrient rich, raw product affordably, at least comparable to the cost of conventional mayo that is full of stuff I don't want to eat.

Question 2

Anyone have trouble with the single serve blade buring out?

Accepted Answer

My original Ninja, bought back in 2014, was AMAZING. I put it through hell, making 2 to 3 protein shakes a day, for almost 7 YEARS straight. Finally, as you folks stated, the rubber nubs wore off, and the rubber "sealers" on top of the base, just fell out and wouldn't go back in. So, we purchased a new Ninja back in January 2020, same model. I can tell you, 100%, this is NOT the same as my old one. It might look identical, but the performance, is no where NEAR as good. Every single time I use it, it makes a burning rubber smell. I have a feeling it will not last long. The rubber sealers in the base, have already come out. Very disappointing.

Question 3

noise level??

Accepted Answer

This critter is noisy.   But you can always wrap a blanket around it to cut down on the noise.    Since my wife sleeps much later than I, it is best if I find a way to muffle the thing because I use it very early in the morning.
