I went hands-on with the new Ninja CrushBOSS — and this three-in-one food processor and blender crushed through every food prep test I threw at it

Ninja CrushBOSS: one-minute review The Ninja CrushBOSS is an impressive three-in-one kitchen system.

The largest container, a 72-ounce pitcher blender is made for blending big batches of whatever foods and beverages you like.

The medium-sized 64-ounce container is a food processor, to which you can attach a handful of different blades that slice, dice, and shred various foods.

The food processor bowl also has a tower blade for blending and a dough blade for making breads.

The smallest vessel is a 26-ounce tumbler is perfect for single-serve smoothies, iced coffees, and slushies.

It comes with a sipping lid and straw so you can just blend and go.

I put the whole system through its paces and was impressed with the results.

If you're in the market for both a blender and a food processor, especially if you want both large and single-serve blenders, you can save money by just buying the Ninja CrushBOSS.

I have to admit that unboxing this system felt a bit intimidating.

There are a lot of parts.

That is the point of it, of course — to be everything for everyone — but be prepared to take some time to learn how all of the parts fit together and how it all works.

You'll be washing a lot of dishes.

Plus, some of the pieces do nest, but you're still looking at a lot of storage space for all the bits and bobs.
