Nutri Ninja Pro Blender vs Ninja Master Prep


Price:
  • You will have to pay nearly twice as much for the Nutri Ninja over the Ninja Master Prep. Are those extra $40 worth the cost? Well, if you want a powerful blender that does a great job making smoothies, then yes the Nutri Ninja is worth the cost. For anyone to stick to a sub-$40 blender, the Ninja Master Prep makes for a good choice.
Power:
  • The Nutri Ninja Pro Blender is more than twice as powerful than its competition. While the Ninja Master Prep is strong enough to grind ice and make decent smoothies, the Nutri Ninja blows the Ninja Master Prep out of the water. 900 Watts of Power in the Nutri Ninja will be sure to amaze.
Design:
  • Significant differences in design exist between these two blenders by Ninja. For anyone wanting a traditional style blender, neither the Ninja Master Prep nor the Nutri Ninja will exactly please. The Ninja Master Prep stands more as a food processor that can also blend. If it came down to it, the Nutri Ninja better fulfills the role of a traditional blender.
Functionality:
  • If you want a blender to make smoothies, go with the Nutri Ninja. Power in the Nutri Ninja and its more traditional design make for a great smoothie making machine. The Ninja Master Prep is not without its positives; if you need an appliance that can both blend and chop, the Ninja Master Prep makes for one of the best multipurpose tools in the kitchen.
Overall:
  • While the Nutri Ninja costs more than twice as much as the Ninja Master Prep, the cost of the blender seems worth it. The 900 Watts of blending power allow for far greater blending ability. Now, if you are not looking for a blender that can liquify just about anything, the Ninja Master Prep makes for a respectable choice.


Pros:

  • Nice Design. Compact, but suited for the task.
  • 900 Watts of Blending Power. Shred through fruits and veggies.
  • On the Go Blending. Take blending cups with you after finishing.
Cons:
  • Price. Cost double its competition.
  • Not for Chopping/Mixing. Blending is all you will do.
  • Will Not Store as Easily. Bit more bulky.


Pros:

  • Multipurpose Tool. Blend, chop, and mix.
  • Low Cost. Under $40 for a nice appliance.
  • Fruit Smoothies and Icy Drinks. Come out well.
Cons:
  • Green Smoothies. Do not blend leafy greens.
  • Cleanup. Tad bit more tedious.
  • Lower Quality Blends. More likely to have chunkier blends.

Nutri Ninja Blender vs Cuisinart CSB-75BC Smart Stick 2-Speed Immersion Hand Blender

Nutri Ninja vs Cuisinart Immersion Hand Blender

Price:
  • About $50 separates these two blenders. Now, though $50 makes a great deal of difference between the blenders. For those wanting to spend about $30, the Cuisinart Smart Stick 2-Speed Immersion Blender makes for a solid choice. However, the $80 price tag of the Nutri Ninja Pro Blender will deliver a whole lot more to your kitchen.
Blending Power:
  • 200 Watts vs 900 Watts, this is a humongous difference. The Cuisinart offers only 200 Watts of blending power, this will impose severe limitations. Vigorous mixing is truly what the Cuisinart happens to do. If you want a blender with real power, the Nutri Ninja blends with 900 Watts of power. Differences in blending quality are light and day.
Design:
  • Each blender is designed for a specific purpose. With the Nutri Ninja Pro Blender, you are going to be able to blend smoothies, bean dips, and nut butters. The Cuisinart Immersion Blender best lends itself to mixing things like soups, sauces, and easy to blend smoothies. For those wanting to make smoothies, the Nutri Ninja is truly designed to make smoothies, the Cuisnart Blender is not.
Features:
  • Which blender lends to greater customization though? Each has its own tasks. The Nutri Ninja is truly impressive when making smoothies. Cuisinart offers a truly unique tool for the kitchen, it is mobile and allows for a great deal of creativity. Also, Cuisinart offers attachments for their hand blender which allow to whisk, grind, and chop.
Overall: 
  • The Nutri Ninja makes the better choice for those wanting to make smoothies. Traditional blenders are great, we all understand what they are for and what we can do with them. Immersion blenders are for a far more unique tool designed for precision blending. However, the ultimate power discrepancy between the Nutri Ninja and the Cuisinart Hand Blender leads me to favoring the Nutri Ninja.
Pros:

  • Traditional. Carry out all your favorite tasks.
  • Compact. Small footprint on the countertop.
  • 900 Watts of Power. A whole lot of power in a small punch.
  • On the Go Blending. Blending cups designed to blend and go.
Cons:
  • Price. $50 more than the Cuisinart. 
  • No Soups/Mixing. Rigid blending role. 
Cuisinartart Hand Blender Pros and Cons
Pros:
  • Less than $30. One of most affordable blenders.
  • Great Starter Blender. Learn the basics of immersion blending.
  • Customization. Great variety of things that can be blended. 
Cons:
  • Low Power Output. Lacking in blending ability.
  • Do Not Expect Miracles. Best used as a powerful mixer.
  • Limited Life Span. Perhaps a few years.

Nutri Ninja Pro vs Juicer


Price:
  • The Nutri Ninja will cost you a bit less than $80, this is a steal of a deal. Juicers can range in price from as low as $20 to the top of the line costing more than $500. What you must consider is this, the quality of juicers varies greatly by price point. For less than $80, you can get a dependable and consistent blender in the form of the Nutri Ninja.
Power:
  • Do not plan on finding a juicer less than $100 that can match the Nutri Ninja's power. To get a powerful juicer on the scale of the Nutri Ninja, you are going to need to pay more than $200. At 900 Watts of power, the Nutri Ninja does a fantastic job at pulverizing fruits and ice.
Versatility:
  • With a juicer, all you will be able to do is juice. Blenders have so many more functions to them. With the Nutri Ninja, you will be able to makes smoothies of course. Along with that, you will be able to blend ice, homemade peanut butter, and bean dips like hummus. So much more can be done in the kitchen with the Nutri Ninja.
Cleanup:
  • Juicers are notoriously difficult to clean. Find me a quick and easy juicer to clean, and I will rest contented. However, the ease of cleaning a small blender like the Nutri Ninja is such a convenience. In only a minute or two after finishing your blended drink, you will be able to clean the Nutri Ninja cup. Juicers can take five minutes or more to clean.
Overall:
  • Personally, I prefer blenders to juicers due to their convenience. Even then though, I am inclined to say top of the line juicers may offer some features superior to that of the Nutri Ninja. At the end of the day, I would recommend buying a Nutri Ninja before ever buying a juicer.

Nutri Ninja Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Power. Unleash 900 Watts of blending ability.
  • Price. Less than $80 to get your own new blender.
  • Possibilities. Make all sorts of dishes, especially smoothies.
Cons:
  • Does Not Juice. Makes smoothies, but not juices.
  • Not Perfect on Leafy Greens. Juicers do a better job.
  • Hard Vegetables too Tough. Carrots and beets a no-go. 
Juicers Pros and Cons

Pros:
  • Juices. Unique health benefits of juices.
  • Specialty Uses. Odds and ends of juicers.
  • Hard and Leafy Green Vegetables. Easy to process these things.
Cons:
  • Variable Prices. Low end to high end difficult to gauge.
  • Difficult to Clean. So much more work compared to blenders.
  • No Bean Dips or Ice. Much more limited.

Nutri Ninja Pro vs Magic Bullet Blender

Nutri Ninja Pro vs Magic Bullet Blender
Price:
  • Both blenders are near identical in price. If you go shopping at Amazon.com on a good day, you may find the Magic Bullet to be at $10 less than the Nutri Ninja. For such a close price point, the quality of the Nutri Ninja will deliver the best bang for your buck.
Blending Power:
  • With the Magic Bullet, you will get a blender clocking in at 600 Watts of Power; whereas the Nutri Ninja will deliver 900 Watts of Power. This difference in power is not a trivial thing, the extra 300 Watts in the Nutri Ninja packs a big punch. Blending leafy greens is definitely a whole lot easier in the Nutri Ninja.
Design:
  • I prefer the sleek design of the Nutri Ninja over the rounded edges of the Magic Bullet. One benefit of the Magic Bullet is customization, multiple colors in fun shades are available in the Magic Bullet, whereas the Nutri Ninja comes only in black and gray. Also, the blending blades of the Nutri Ninja trump the Magic Bullet.
Features:
  • Plenty of extras come with the Magic Bullet Blender. With the Magic Bullet, you will get multiple blending cups and a milling blades to grind your own flour. Ninja offers only two blending cups, which is a tad bit lackluster as a milling blade is a nifty little thing to have in the kitchen.
Overall:
  • When it comes to blenders, I focus on price and on power. Since the price of both blenders is near identical, it comes down to the quality of the blend. And at the end of the day, the Nutri Ninja offers a 300 Watt advantage over the Magic Bullet. With the Nutri Ninja, smoothies come out smoother and leafy greens can be realistically liquidized. While the Magic Bullet makes for a great starter blender, the Nutri Ninja edges it out.


Nutri Ninja Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • 900 Watts of Power. Great amount of blending power.
  • Under $100. What a deal for the amount of power.
  • Sharp Design. Can make for a nice looking appliance.
Cons:
  • Features. Two blending cups and a recipe book is all you get.
  • Slightly Higher Price. Pay a few bills more for the Ninja.
  • Black and Gray. If you do not enjoy these colors, no other options. 

Magic Bullet Pros and Cons:

Pros:


  • Cute Little Design. Get in spectrum of colors.
  • Famous Name and Brand. Makes a great gift.
  • Milling Blades. Make your own flour for baking.
Cons:
  • Less Blending Power. 300 Watts less.
  • Leafy Greens. Does not get the job done.

Nutri Ninja FAQ

Nutri Ninja Blender vs Vitamix Blenders


Price:
  • $400 separates these two blenders. That is no sum to sneeze at. On the one hand, the Nutri Ninja costs less than $80. If you are willing to spend an extra $400, you will find plenty of extra features and amenities. In my view, the Nutri Ninja certainly 'feels' inferior/cheap when compared to a Vitamix blender.
Blending Power:
  • Both blenders actually are quite powerful. Of course the Vitamix is far more powerful, but the Nutri Ninja offers a big punch in a small package. With the Vitamix, you will get the most powerful blender able to blend up anything. The Nutri Ninja will not be able to do all the things a Vitamix can, but it is certainly strong enough to get through most blending needs.
Design:
  • For anyone looking for a traditional blender, the Vitamix is supreme. The Vitamix blender feels durable and so strong it may as well be connected to the kitchen counter. Plus, it looks attractive and fetching on a kitchen counter. Truly, the Nutri Ninja is made of a cheaper plastic and looks a bit silly on a kitchen counter.
Features:
  • With the Nutri Ninja's compact design, it should be obvious this is a blender made for limited purposes. If you only want a blender for making smoothies, great, the Nutri Ninja is for you. Any other blending jobs will be far harder to get done in the Nutri Ninja. If you want a blender that can handle any job, the Vitamix should be your number one choice.
Overall:
  • Price matters. For anyone wanting the best blender money can buy, go with the Vitamix. In order to get that blender, you better be ready to pay over $400. Of course, not everyone can justify spending that much on a blender. Even $100 may be too much, that is what makes the Nutri Ninja so great. For less than $85, you can get a powerful and compact blender made for blending smoothies.
