7 Best Ninja Blenders, According to Testing

We were very impressed with the Ninja TWISTI Blender Duo in our Lab testing. It produced a very creamy and fluffy margarita and super smooth peanut butter. What really stood out to us was the 34-ounce power pitcher which has a built-in tamper and a blade that gets screwed on at the bottom. After the first two minutes of blending peanut butter, we used the built-in tamper to spin around the peanuts that were at the top, which resulted in a smooth peanut butter that was easily pourable, perfect for topping an ice cream sundae or your morning oatmeal.

It features a helpful timer to keep track of your blending process and five presets. While the main pitcher is smaller than other full-sized Ninja blenders, we found that it was still large enough to tackle the same amount of ingredients, unlike personal blenders we tested.

At just around $100, Ninja Professional Countertop Blender is a solid full-sized blender with a large 72-ounce jar capacity and powerful performance. In our Lab testing, it excelled at blending up a milkshake that was smooth with a nice body to it and a soup that was creamy and completely went through the fine mess sieve.

While this blender doesn't have as many presets or variable controls like other Ninja blenders, we still found that the high speed did a great job crushing through ingredients. The very sharp multi-pronged blender blade also requires some extra care when cleaning, but thankfully the remaining removable parts are dishwasher-safe.

Out of all of the Ninja blenders that we tested, the Ninja Nutri Pro Compact Personal Blender made the best smoothie in Lab testing. We were impressed with how smooth it came out, completely going through the fine mesh sieve. What we love even more is that your family doesn't have to decide on enjoying just one smoothie at breakfast time. You can each enjoy your own smoothie in your personal blending cup, perfect for taking on-the-go as well. When we tested, we did have to cut our recipe down to a single serving so that it would fit in the blending cup.

This blender comes with fewer pieces to store, so it's ideal for a small kitchen or even for keeping at your desk for an afternoon pick-me-up. Since this does only come with two cups, we recommend purchasing more cups if you have more people making smoothies at once. And not to fret if you dirty too many cups; all pieces are dishwasher-safe.

Only a few picks on this list can be used to make a hot pureed soup and the Ninja Foodi Power Blender & Processor System aced this Lab test. The pureed soup passed through the sieve easily; while the result was smooth and creamy, it still retained some pleasant texture. We were also impressed with the thick and smooth margarita produced, without any large pieces of ice remaining, making this a versatile blender, whether you're blending hot or cold ingredients.

This is an easy-to-assemble blender with a blender jar that quickly locks into place. While the blade is easy to put on and remove, it's very sharp to handle and clean. The blender controls are intuitive and easy to read thanks to the backlit controls. There are even suction cups on the bottom of the blender base to ensure that the blender stays put no matter how fast it is blending tough ingredients for a soup or smoothie.

Can your personal blender grind up smooth and creamy peanut butter in under three minutes? Well, this personal blender from Ninja certainly can and did a better job at it than other Ninja models we tested. The Ninja Foodi Smoothie Maker & Nutrient Extractor is a small workhorse that churned out great testing results for frozen margaritas and smoothies. We especially loved how the margarita was rich and creamy and there was absolutely no grit from the super fine sugar used.

We've tested a lot of personal blenders over the years and this one also surprised us with the amount of presets it offered, compared to many personal blenders that only feature a pulse button. This blender offers a lot of versatility in both presets and three different sized cups. The smoothie bowl cup also features a built-in tamper, great for ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Do keep in mind that this is a personal blender without vents and cannot be used to blend up hot ingredients.

In our Lab testing, we finely chopped onions and parsley and sliced zucchini with this versatile food processor blender combo from Ninja. If you're in the market for both a blender and a food processor, here is our solution. While it may be more expensive and boast more pieces than other models on this list, if you take advantage of all that this food processor blender combo has to offer you can cut down on time in the kitchen.

Besides its food processing capabilities, we found it to make smooth peanut that didn't overheat the motor as much as other blenders tested. But we did notice while blending tough ingredients that a lot of forceful air comes out of the blender during operation, which may move items on your counter, but doesn't effect your blend. We love that all parts are dishwasher-safe, which is great if you put many of the pieces to use while making dinner.

The Ninja Foodi Power Mixer System is an intuitive piece of kitchen gear boasting both a hand mixer and hand blender. While there are a few pieces to store, it's not as much as other hand blenders we've tested. It comes with a nice recipe booklet with color photos and a three-cup blending cup with a spout for easy pouring and a lid for easy storing. While we haven't tested the "easy glide" beaters yet, they are "designed with more surface area for light, fluffy baked goods," according to the brand.

In Lab testing, when we made a smoothie with this hand blender it took some pressure, but did work well, resulting in a smoothie with a high Lab score. While the mayo that it produced was of good quality at first, it did start to separate after sitting. All non-motor parts are top-rack dishwasher safe for easy clean up.
