The Ninja CrushBOSS is a $319.99 three-in-one appliance combining a 72-ounce blender, a 64-ounce food processor, and a 26-ounce single-serve tumbler.

Design and Features
The base unit suctions to the counter for stability. It comes with three containers that lock into place. The 72-ounce blender pitcher has a pour spout and a tower blade. The 64-ounce food processor bowl includes a chopping blade, a dough blade, and a multiblade disc for attachments that can slice, shred, and julienne. The 26-ounce tumbler comes with a sipping lid and a straw.
Cleaning involves filling the containers partway with water, adding dish soap, and running a blend cycle. TechRadar awarded the design a score of 4.5 out of 5.
Performance Tests
In tests, the blender made a smoothie from frozen fruit and juice successfully using the automated SmoothSense setting. A frozen yogurt made without extra liquid turned out chunky, suggesting a need for scraping down the sides or a second blend cycle.
The food processor crinkle-cut carrots and diced a pre-softened sweet potato in seconds. It shredded hard parmesan cheese quickly, though a large chunk got stuck. It handled softer Swiss cheese more easily. The unit also made coarse oat flour, protein pancake batter, and hummus. The reviewer found the hummus superior to store-bought, but scraped the sides and processed it a second time for a uniform texture.
The single-serve tumbler crushed ice thoroughly for smoothies and a lemonade slushie. The slushie's icy and liquid parts separated while drinking. The tumbler was also used to blend ingredients for frozen desserts in a Ninja Creami Swirl, producing smooth results with only minor residue. TechRadar gave the performance a score of 4.5 out of 5.
The reviewer concluded that the Ninja CrushBOSS is impressive and can save money for someone needing both a blender and a food processor.
