Overview
A renewed Ninja Professional Plus food processor with a 1000-peak-watt motor, 9-cup bowl, and 4 Auto-iQ preset programs for chopping, shredding, pureeing and dough. Refurbished and tested to work like new before resale.
The dough and slicing performance draws the most specific praise, including a claim it can fold 2 pounds of dough in 30 seconds, while one reviewer felt it under-performs on pureeing smooth textures like hummus compared to chopping and slicing. This shares its core platform with the BN600 but adds a 4th Auto-iQ program and higher peak wattage, so it's the pick for buyers weighing the two Ninja processors against each other.
- 9-cup precision processor bowl
- 2 lbs dough in 30 seconds
- Reversible slicing and shredding disc
- Amazon Renewed, professionally inspected
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently call the motor powerful and reliable, comparing it favorably to processors that burned out under load. The main criticism is that pureeing could be smoother, and a couple of buyers received units with minor cosmetic shipping damage that didn't affect function.
