I have had two Ninja blenders inthe past few years - one was a very simple model bought in 2016. It lasted me about 5 years, but the motor went. Started smelling of that electrical fire smell, when I saw actual smoke I binned it.
My second was a bit fancier - one of the Foodi blenders/food processor type. I have used it a lot, for simple smoothies, to hummus, soup, grinding peppercorns - everything, Recently I have started to notice the burning electrics smell - which is a bit disappointing - as i have had it just 3 years, and it cost me £180 (from Costco).
Has anyone else had similar issues with this brand? I don't want to have to start hunting for a new blender/processor just yet. It's clearly out of warranty now.
