which blender comes out on top? |

When on the hunt for a new blender, the query typically results in a debate of Nutribullet vs Ninja. Both brands are known for great quality blenders that come in a range of different sizes and designs, but which should you go for? 

Both Ninja and Nutribullet feature in our best blender guide, and we have tried both brands hands-on in our rigorous blender testing process. Nutribullet is best known for its bullet-style blender design which comes with a single-speed, one-serving blending cup that is easily switched on and off with just a twist. Ninja is more commonly known for its smart range of pre-set blenders, which come with buttons you can press to make a smoothie, crush ice, or chop fruits and vegetables. 

When deciding between a Nutribullet and a Ninja, it's likely you're looking for a more portable blender, which is what Nutribullet is known for. Ninja also has a range of larger blending appliances that take up more space, and cost more. We'll talk you through the different product ranges below, and we have also directly compared two blenders to see how the brands compare, head to head. In our comparison, we tried out the NutriBullet Pro 900, and the Ninja Nutri 1000 Watt Auto-IQ blender.

Nutribullet vs Ninja: the quick answer

(Image credit: Ninja/Nutribullet)

Having tested Nutribullet vs Ninja blenders head-to-head, our Nutribullet came out on top. We gave a rare five-star rating in our Nutribullet Pro 900 Series Blender review, and while it is limited by its smaller single-serve capacity, it is the perfect choice for smoothies. 

For small or smoothie-sized blenders, choose a Nutribullet.

However, if you want a larger blender, we would recommend turning to Ninja blenders. Designed to offer versatility and a selection of attachments to choose from, we really enjoyed the Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System with Auto-IQ when we tested it. Nutribullet's largest blender, the NutriBullet Blender Combo, scored four stars in our review. Like the Ninja, it has a multi-serve and a personal cup, but it only has three blending speeds to choose from. 

For large portions, drinks or soups, choose a Ninja blender.

Nutribullet blenders are known for their simple and effective design. The base is compact and lightweight, and it requires you to screw the blade base onto your smoothie cup, press it down into the base, and twist it to start the blending process. To stop blending, you just need to twist it back to a neutral position.

Ninja, however, has a preset mode called Auto-IQ, which is a feature you'll find in some of the best food processors alongside their top blenders. This allows you to twist the smoothie cup into place and press from one of multiple modes. With the Ninja Nutri 1000, this includes Blend, Pulse, and Ultra Blend. These are pre-timed, meaning you can simply press the button and leave it to blend and automatically shut off once the cycle is finished. 

Nutribullet warns that its Pro 900 blender cannot be used for more than a minute at a time, presumably out of fear that the engine can overheat. However, we have used it for over a minute in the past and it did not have any issues. Keep the time limit in mind, but we wouldn't list it as a deterrent. 

Nutribullet vs Ninja: making a smoothie

I put my two blenders side-by-side to directly compare the results of two identical smoothies. I added the same amount of frozen mango, fresh pineapple (with the tough core included), curly kale, yogurt, and water to each cup, but because of the difference in cup sizes, the Ninja blender cup filled up far more.

I added the blending lids and twisted both into the bases before pressing down the Nutribullet and twisting the cap into place, pressing the 'Blend' button on the Ninja as it seemed best suited to a smoothie of this type.

The Ninja had a preset time of 50 seconds, and it pulsed multiple times to incorporate the fresh and frozen ingredients with no difficulty. The NutriBullet, by contrast, simply had a continuous blend cycle which I also left for 50 seconds.  

Neither blender had trouble slicing through the kale, frozen fruit, and pineapple core, and they came out very similar in color.

However, there was a difference in the texture. The Ninja smoothie had more visible patches of green where the fibers of the kale had not completely been broken down, whereas the Nutribullet smoothie came out much more finely blended and it tasted very smooth. 

Overall, it was a better drinking experience. The smoothie was creamier and every ingredient had clearly been broken down, whereas in the Ninja there were small specs of kale that could have used more blending.

Other things to consider

While the NutriBullet produced a better smoothie, it really is designed to do only this. The Ninja Nutri Pro 1000 Watt Auto-IQ Blender also has a pulse mode and a max blend mode, which I have used to make smoothie bowls in the past, and which is very effective on purely frozen ingredients.  

Looks-wise, I do think the NutriBullet has a more appealing color selection and overall appearance. The bullet design is extended down to the metallic base, and NutriBullet has also launched an exclusive range of fun colors with a matt base, which is perfect for strictly color-coordinated kitchens. 

NutriBullet vs Ninja blenders: which should you buy?

If you want a powerful bullet blender to make tasty smoothies, I would recommend picking up the NutriBullet Pro 900 blender . It has two 32 oz to-go cups and lids, as well as a screw-on handle for easy drinking. Despite its marginally less powerful battery than the Ninja BL480D, it still was able to cut through kale stems, tough pineapple core, and frozen chunks of fruit with absolutely no difficulty. 

However, if you do like the idea of the Auto-IQ settings you'll get with the Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro 1000W , or if you are taken by the slightly lower price tag, it is also a top choice. The blender will allow you to leave your drink to blend hands-free, whereas the NutriBullet requires you to stand by and switch off the blender manually when you're happy with your drink's consistency.

Larger Nutribullet and Ninja blenders

We have reviewed a number of Nutribullet and Ninja blenders, and while we put two personal-sized blenders head-to-head, if you are looking for a large or multi-serve blender, our reviews can still come in useful.  

When we tried the Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System with Auto-IQ, the versatility was a big winner. It has a very powerful food processor attachment, with two levels of chopping blades that effectively cut through onions, dough, and more. Most importantly, the blending worked very well, even on soups.

The Nutribullet Blender Combo is the brand's attempt at a multi-serve, and while it's good value for money, we did feel that it lacked the range of pre-sets and speeds you'll find with a model from Ninja.

Magic Bullet vs NutriBullet: Which Blender is Better?

Magic Bullet and NutriBullet are two similarly-shaped blenders developed by the same company, Homeland Housewares, LLC. They’ve both been vetted over the years as top performers, and their general design is beginning to replace standard countertop blenders. At first glance, it’s difficult to see any genuine differences between the two, other than the contrast of their beautifully designed advertising. But dig a little deeper and you’ll see where the company has focused its engineering expertise. Both blenders are good products, but we’ve broken down their pros and cons here to give you a clearer picture of which one takes the cake.

  • Compact size
  • Good for beginners
  • Inexpensive
    		•  CHECK PRICE

    What Are the Differences?

    Both models are designed to be compact, quick, single-serve blenders. But where their function is the same, their performance, prices, durability, and designs vary.

    Performance

    Both models have cyclonic action that sends the blender’s contents upward and then back down into the blades. But the Magic Bullet operates at 250 watts, whereas the NutriBullet has four models with a power range from 600 watts up to 1700 watts. That’s a significant power jump. It means the Magic Bullet is more suited to blending simple, soft ingredients, while the NutriBullet can grind ice, nuts, and even coffee beans.

    Price

    The Magic Bullet seems to know it doesn’t have the same bells and whistles as its cousin, the NutriBullet. Because of this, the Magic Bullet’s single blender starts at $30 and increases as you add accessories. The NutriBullet runs the range from $70 to $150. As you go up in price, you gain power and a larger container size. The top model even has a heating element for soup making.

    Durability

    The blades on a blender are typically the first piece to lose their quality. While both brands claim to have sharp, durable blades, the Magic Bullet is known for its parts wearing down, such as the rubber seals and the blades themselves. The company does offer a risk-free purchase for 30 days.

    The NutriBullet is known for having better power and torque, but some users complain that their motors wore out in six months. While this could be related to usage (they may have needed a higher-wattage unit), it bears keeping in mind. NutriBullet does offer a full one-year warranty.

    Design

    The designs of the two blenders are echoes of each other. They’re both bullet-shaped, they both use cyclonic action, and they both have cups that screw into the power base. The NutriBullet is designed for more power and is known for having better cutting action. Both have multiple cup sizes, lids, and recipes, but the NutriBullet also offers an extra emulsifying blade and a heating function in its NutriBullet Rx version.

    Quick Rundown of the Magic Bullet

    The Magic Bullet is great for novices trying to get into the smoothie-making habit. It’s compact and easy to use, its parts are dishwasher safe, and the price is hard to pass up. If you’re on the go, a Magic Bullet will be your friend. It does have low power, however, and isn’t great for crushing harder materials like frozen fruit and ice. You may also have to replace the blades or rubber seals more often than you’d like.

    Pros

    Cons

    Quick Rundown of the NutriBullet

    A NutriBullet can meet your needs if you’re a beginner trying to get healthy or if you’re a seasoned blending enthusiast. With four models to choose from and a one-year warranty, you’re well-covered. They do run higher in price, and their motors may give out sooner than they should. But if you purchase a more powerful one, you can probably get a better lifespan from your blender.

    Pros

    Cons

    What Users Are Saying

    Users cite the Magic Bullet as being easy to use and inexpensive. They also like that it promotes good health. It’s popular with the whole family, and a cinch to clean. Detractors say the parts break too easily and the machine can’t blend ice or other hard elements.

    Most users agree that the NutriBullet is a powerhouse. It blends well, it works quickly, it’s easy to clean, and the parts are easily replaceable. It’s also versatile in that you can make nut butter, grind coffee, and even make soup with it. However, people report the motors burning out after six months or the seals leaking. Fortunately, the one-year warranty should cover both issues.

    Conclusion:

    If the dollars are tight in your house, a Magic Bullet may be the answer for you. But if you plan to get some mileage and variable uses from your blender, you may need to spring for the NutriBullet. It’s clear in comparing the two that Homeland Houseware, LLC, has made the NutriBullet its pet project. The Magic Bullet has only one model and hasn’t changed or upgraded in some time. While both will set you on the right path to healthy blending, the NutriBullet takes home the trophy for the best blender.
