I am wondering how everyone grind oats. I have tried a blender and it seems to take forever to get it into powder form to where it is not almost chunky in the drinks. I had to use a screen to make sure I got rid the chunks. Blending seemed to take almost 5-10 min for a very small batch.

I'll tell you what......I was not considering buying another blender.....but then I used one at my friends house and was BLOWN AWAY with how good it worked.
It is also easy to clean.... a big plus when you use them as often as I do.
I justified it because during the summer the kids like when I make them frozen drinks...etc. This thing is a beast. No having to shake the cup...etc to keep it working. It just devours anything. Also looking forward to some frozen margaritas! (for me not the kids! )
I can not see how they could make anything that worked better then this thing.RAW lifts

Without question. NO DOUBT. As I said.....I dont think they could make something that worked better. It chops oats better then my dedicated food processor. And as a blender.....you can make anything as thick as you want and it never cavitates.
I already had what is considered a good quality cuisinart blender
The NINJA blows that away......not sure how to describe it other then, I used my friends once....and decided I had to have one.
I actually bought the 'food processing system'. It comes with 2 cups, a dough paddle....a whipper...etc
It was 165 but we found it on sale for $105. You can find the blender alone for around $70-80 on sale.

I just use a good quality blender and it is pretty quick but it does cavitate so you need to use a spatula to keep everything moving. After a minute or two it has ground the oats to a fine powder. I might have to look into the Ninja it looks like it could devour most anything thrown at it.

Can't beat the Magic Bullet. If mine broke, I'd be heading to Costco to get a new one within minutes. Our entire family uses it. It has two attachments, one specifically for grinding and the other for the regular mixing.
One great aspect is you buy it with a number of the cups, you mix your drink in the cups, and that is what you drink from. From Costco you get the version with about 7 or more cups. It includes two smaller cups that I use just for grinding oatmeal.
Other blender sounds good too, but a Magic Bullet has become mandatory in our home.

We have the blendtec blender, pricey but it does everything including hot soup. My wife uses it for her chia seeds to turn it to fine powder I'm sure it will do oats well.
A little ice, Greek yogurt, scoop of whey, skim milk or water, frozen or fresh fruit, and for added sweetness splenda, and you got a protein shake that is unbelievable!
And clean up? Hot water dish soap. Pulse it a few times, rinse and done.I'm open to any suggestions and have a difficult time accepting limitations without an honest effort on my part, you can count on that!

There are always choices, no bad ones, no good ones, only "great" ones,
"Oh, great!" :)

Hey, I have this blender and let me tell you, it is NOT good for grinding objects into dust like oatmeal and almonds. I had a cheap Magic Bullet Blender for about 5 years and decided to upgrade to this. The one thing the Magic Bullet did well was grinding things into in about 10 seconds. Besides that, it sucked. I bought the Ninja thinking it could do everything x10 better. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't grind oatmeal well. Your shake will be junky.
(And sorry all, I know i'm not over 35 but I thought I needed to commentate on this product).
