How does it compare to ninja blenders?

We have tried a couple different ninja's (because they have scored well in other ratings). We couldn't stand them. They are very loud. Much louder than the Brevilles. The Breville is much easier to clean. The Breville is also more stable and secure on the countertop. The ninja's required two hands holding them at all times. The Breville is very solidly built and well engineered to last.

I had a Ninja Pro and returned it. I'm not sure why it gets good reviews. As far as I am concerned it isn't a blender. I tried to make blender hollandaise sauce in the ninja and my old $35 Oster blender did a better job. It is a decent smoothie maker but not as good as the Breville. The Breville does everything I need. I make a smoothie every day and even the greens get chopped up smooth. Never got close to that with the Ninja. Hollandaise sauce comes out great. The best decision I made was to return the Ninja and get a Breville.

It blends a lot better than a conventional household blender, but it still only has cutting blades on the bottom of the unit. A Ninga is better than the Magic Bullet because it has a number of cutting blades.

First of all, Vitamix are way better than Ninjas. Vitamix = super smooth smoothies. Ninjas = chunkie smoothies. Omegas are juicers. Just juice, no pulp or fiber. The Omega J8006 can juice fruit and vegetables and leafy greens and grasses. Best juicer I've ever owned.

Fortunately I have access to both and did a pretty thorough review of them on my blog site at http://www.blendblog.net/Default.aspx?tabid=36&EntryID;=64. Hope this helps, I like both devices but they are different and which one to get really depends on what you are looking for which I breakdown in my review.Sean

StacyI have had my Ninja since December 2012. I have used it 2 to 3 times daily and it is still working great. This week I finally broke down and ordered a new set of blades for it because mine seemed to be getting dull. I have the 770 abs it works great. When I went home for thanksgiving this year I bought the 1100 watt professional and gave it to my mother and she loves it also. It seemed to have a little less power but still did the job just fine. If this one ever died I will buy another one for sure. Love it!

I had a MagicBullet before the Ninja and I'm surprised that I greatly prefer the Ninja...I loved my bullet but it often left small frozen balls of frozen strawberries or bananas in my smoothie...which NEVER happens with the Ninja...I haven't used a NutraBullet so cannot comment regarding that...just that I am thrilled with my Ninja...my smoothies are smoother than ever!

I do not own a Ninja but I do know that the Blendtec is a high performance blender. I have made smoothies containing flax seeds, chia seeds, carrots, fruits, hemp protein and almond milk. The blendtec does a fantastic job of thoroughly pulverizing the seeds and blending all the ingredients making a great tasting smoothie. I have never found one whole seed or even fragments of seeds in my smoothie.

It seemed more like a toy than a kitchen tool, it only made smooth. I returned it and bought a ninja. We can make chuncky or smooth with it, plus use it for a hundred other things.

I use the Ninja and find it works great for making smoothies as well as pureeing when making soups.

I love my Ninja system. But I like the full pitcher with double blades. Depending on what your blending, the double blade works much better!

I bought a Ninja Kitchen System 1200..terrible for green smoothies. After 10 mins on high, there is still large chunks in the liquid. I would not recommend it.

Would never be used instead of a blender. It is a whisk. If you want something to replace a blender buy a Magic Bullet or a Ninja

Oh yes it does - I LOVE this blender! Works better than the Ninja my husband always uses. Amazing deal for the price - doesn't look or feel cheap either

I love mine. I have two units, one for home and one at school. It blends my smoothies and crushes ice well. There are more cups than I can use, but I have no complaints with the blender.

First there is a difference in the model numbers. All models come with the same size pan and same cooking features. The difference between the models is the accessories. The difference in price is like most things on Amazon , the same item can come from different vendors. For example the one for 99$ has a shipping charge of 50+ dollars where the one for 171$ had no shipping charge. I love my unit, I own all the Ninja products. It means less clutter , one product to do the job of many. Just research all vendors and their pricing for your best deal. And don't forget to check out Amazon warehouse for those great prices on open box, refurbished or used items.

my $20 generic magic bullet from walmart works the best and it is little ... for making smoothies. it does not juice either. i doubt the nutri bullet will if mine doesn't and this ninja blender doesn't. i am taking the plunge and purchasing a $300 juicer ... guaranteed to juice!

I just got the ninja 700. it has the power to crush the ice very fast but it does NOT make the smoothie smooth. I believe it's the blade design that it does not promote enough circulation inside the blender. Lot of chunky ice in there even a relatively long blend. Absolutely not recommended for smoothies. My cheapy bullet blender make smoother smoothie.
