Nice presentation for Vitamix. However, many people know (not everyone) that Vitamix liquifies ingredients better than Ninja. To regular users who do not spend hours in the kitchen playing with blenders, food processors etc. it is good enough to go with Ninja. Also, Vitamix is at least double the price of Ninja.
So, what I’ve learned from the video is I want a Vitamix. What I learned from the comments is that I can afford a Ninja and not a Vitamix😂. So, I’ll use a Ninja until I can afford a Vitamix!👍
I just got the Ninja IQ kit system.. I've had a Ninja personal jar mixer (with add'l small blender) for about a decade.. It's pulse-only. I wanted more. But I think I want the one with the food processor/veggie slicer attachment. I got the wrong one.
The motor underneath lets off a slight smell and it's a little loud ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCKuMxLnvr6fJd_M4SE-n7trcGj3zEUHq but considering it's size and how hard it works to do the job, it's sort of expected. I assume the smell will go away over time. Overall, I love this cute little blender. The extra cups and lids are great too!
I know not all ninjas are the same. I have the ninja duo with auto-iq and I have used it several times a day for the last 4 years. It has been excellent for sauces, dressings, soups, salsa and pico de gallo, smoothies, pesto, grind coffee beans, and homemade hummus. I have found the smaller blending cups do make things smoother then the large container. Is it the quality of the Vitamix? Probably not. But it surely does the job until I can afford one.
Lol ikr...the whole time I’m thinking “man, he couldn’t even TRY to make this review seem unbiased/unsponsored??” Especially considering vitamix usually costs like 350 minimum and you can get the ninja for like 350% less.
It’s totally sponsored, he only has a link for the vitamix in the description. Furthermore it’s apples to oranges; the vitamix is almost double the price.
Having had my Vitamix 5000 for about 18 years I totally concur with this review. I've never had a Ninja so I can't speak to it's value or quality, but the Vitamix is worth every penny.
My Vitamix died after 12 years.I got a Ninja blender.In My opinion the Vitamix did a much better job of smoothies.Vitamix blended it much more smoother..
In the sugar comparison, you ran the Vitamix on 10 and the Ninja you pressed the buttons to the left aka lowest setting buttons and said the Ninja did not fair when you misused the settings.... apples to oranges anyone?
This was an excellent and useful video. Some of the comments complain about comparing a high-end $500+ blender to a $100 blender, but there's many good reasons for it. Firstly, if Ninja is comparing itself to Vitamix, then it's asking for it. Second, it's good to see if the extra money nets you a better product, which it does. I'm sold on one. Pro Tip: buy a used one if the $600 price tag for new is too steep. Better to buy a used high quality machine than a new cheaply made one. Also, you can get parts for Vitamix blenders, even the older ones. Being able to repair a unit vs throwing it away to buy another cuts down on waste and adds value.
I use my ninja to make mango sorbet and it comes out thick AF not runny not all this bullshit. I also have a vitamix but I'm used to the ninja getting the job done without having to pound everything down.
I thought so too, but my wife really wanted a Vitamix and after purchasing one and trying it out I quickly learned how crappy my Ninja smoothies truly were.
as a cook , the bread part made me cringe a lil , I mean you clearly can see that the ninja one didnt had enough flour to make it thick enough + who tf gonna do bread in a bleander , I mean come on!
Of course the Vitamix is better than the Ninja, but it's also vastly more expensive. So people on a budget's best bet in the Ninja. Also, it's nice how you get a personal blender, food processor, and spiralizer with the Ninja as well.
I believe he should use the Higher end Ninja! I don't have CLUMPS in my Ninja/Chef so this is very biased compersion! also who makes soup like this, Really????
Look people, stop comparing the Vitamix vs. Ninja review like a Lambo vs. Prius. Its a $400 blender vs. $100 blender, not a $20K car vs. $250k car. If you need a blender right now and can afford it, get a vitamix. If you can't afford a vitamix, get a ninja. If you don't need the blender now and can save some money, then get the vitamix. The vitamix is a chef quality blender that doesn't leave any chunks while the ninja just chops everything up as finely as possible but doesn't technically "blend". Also, keep in mind that the ninja is only as good as the sharpness of the blade which wears down over time. I used a ninja at least 3 times a week for 1.5 years and I needed to replace the blades every 6 months which cost me about $100 total. I currently own the vitamix, use it 5-7 times a week and have owned it for 1.5 years and its still running fine. Keep in mind that the vitamix comes with a 5 year warranty
I have a ninja bullet which is a much weaker motor. I've never had issue with kale, carrot, berry smoothies being lumpy. I can even drink them through a straw.
You realize that ninja is always claiming to be better than vitamix, however its not the case sure the price point is tremendously different but he was only doing a simple comparison and it was as honest as can be.
@@jgilly3362 hahaha that's the dumbest shit I have heard today. So let me get this straight, what you are saying is, if a bullock cart says it can carry 4 passengers when a car claims the same then the price point is irrelevant, hahahah.. No need to respond, I rather not speak more with idiots cause like they say 'don't argue with idiots they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience'.
I'd hope for 3 times the price that the vitamix would be better. $79 vs $399 to $450. I use the vita for work because the owners paid for it but as far as home use ninja isnt bad
I just found your videos on the Vitamix machines. I've been reading/watching everything I can on these to see if they're worth the price. I own the exact Ninja you're using and yep - that is exactly how my smoothies turn out. Clumpy. Super glad I found your channel! And, I've actually baked for years but never once thought of making my own powdered sugar. Nor have I thought of using a blender for whipping cream (I have an automatic charger which uses c02 but my husband 'put it away' which means I'll probably never see it again). So, great information!
Ok you have a 100.00 dollar ninja and you are comparing it to a 500.00 blender it will never be a fair have comparisons but if you compare the ninja chef to this it would not be that much different at all. I'd go 160 anyway over 500.00 then I'd just go ahead and buy a nutribullet and you could do everything and then some that the 500.00 one would do for only about 260.00 way cheaper.
We have both the Ninja and a2500. The a2500 is everything this guy says it is. The ninja is good, but it simply can't do what the Vitamix can do. For those of you claiming he's getting paid to trash the ninja, you're simply under-informed. The Ninja can make smoothies, but it can't make them as smooth as the Vitamix. The magic is in those blades.
@@josephenglish4496 You muppet, it heats food if you run it for 5 minutes, which is what you WANT if you are making hot soup. Smoothies take 30 seconds to a minute to make, which won't be hot.
Opps.. forgot to mention, your review hands down beats all the others who aren't professionally trained "CHEFS". Thanks for taking the time to do the review.
I have Vitamix, and Blenbtec blenders, and they both use similar blades, and HP. 5-8 year warranties, and made in the US. If you think a Ninja made in China, with a 1 year warranty is equal or better than either of them, you are sadly mistaken..... Professional smoothie shops around the nation, only use Blendtec, or Vitamix blenders... Why do you think that is so?
Short and sweet. No blah blah in between. I really liked your presentation. I thought Vitamix was a juicer so I had to watch the video to check this out. Good job - Nicole
I bought the Ninja several years ago because it was so much cheaper than the vitamix and thought how bad can it be, well shit it couldn’t even make a smoothie I’m not sure it ever made anything worthwhile or correctly so I gave in and paid the $500 for the Vitamix a year and a half ago and Jesus lord that thing is awesome, make my own peanut butter, ice cream, soups, sumbitch it’s endless what this thing can do. Worth every penny!
Excellent review. Clear comparison and clear winner. Edit: People saying it is an unfair comparison due to price are wrong. The Ninja's design relies on its blades being sharp so you will see a rapid fall in performance. This means buying new blades. Its assembly is brittle. This means a new machine. By the time my vitamix dies, you would have needed to buy many, many replacement ninjas and thus spent far more money. The Vitamix wins on BOTH performance and price. Then when you consider the work involved in some recipes, like fermenting veg before pureeing, why would you waste that effort on a lower quality machine?
He's also using a very old Ninja machine, had he used a modern Ninja , the results for Ninja would have been far better. Ninja is a tremendous machine.
another part is how the blades are set up, one has the blades from the bottom where the other has the blades on a pole, blades on the bottom blends stuff more better
Hey, John! Thanks for the question! A lot of videos like this are promoted by the manufacturer, but Vitamix has not paid us any money for this video. Our team at EverythingKitchens.com test products and compares them to the competition to see how they measure up. We try to be as transparent as possible in our reviews and honest with the results. Hope this answers your question!
Could this bias have something to do with his site selling Vitamix and no Ninjas? Lol toss is why everyone should check for bias. I have done those exact same tests on the Ninja and didn't get such bad results. I'm curious what the test conditions are.
This is total bullshit. i am just a consumer and after watching several videos from everything kitchen I came to conclusion that you are out there to get NINJA. First off all you are comparing 2 products that are NOT of the same category. Vitamix is a lot more expensive product than Ninja. Ninja never claimed that can make hot soup. Why do you even try this unethical comparison? Sounds like you are getting paid from vitamix to crush Ninja but that is not working for me. As a consumer myself who I do not know anyone from Ninja, i am totally sold to Ninja and can not wait to get mine in a few days.
Go look for a refurbished Vitamix a2500 and you'll see the prices make them direct competitors. For the price, the vitamix mops the floor with the Ninja. Technically speaking, the entry level vitamix uses the same motor as the high end ones, so if you wanted apples to apples there you go. The entry level units may lack smarts, but they'll still blend the hell out of whatever you place inside of them.
Problem #1 Carmel = City in California Car-a-mel = colour or state of sugar. (long first A, short second a) Problem #2 WTF comparing a blender that routinely costs over $300 to a sub-$100 one?? Seems that Chef Austin (who is unlikely a Chef) is not only partial, but is probably paid by Vitamix.
how loud is the vitamix? one of my graduation presents is a blender and i’m consider which one to buy and the vitamix seems perfect for me! but i don’t want to wake up everyone on my floor making soup at 3 am lol
shirlene cambridge, the Vitamix is not too loud at lower speeds, once you go past speed 5 it gets pretty loud - it's hard to keep a 2.2 horsepower motor quiet! If you are worried about noise, you may look at the Blendtec Pro 800 which has a sound shield making it very quiet - this is what smoothie shops and cafes use to make blended things quietly. Check it out here: evkitch.com/2Ij7hdG
oil molecule small enough to surround a water molecule ?! Tough to take the man seriously after saying something like that...It's droplets by the way, not molecules.
My Vita Mix 5200 is over 20 yrs old. I bought mine at a county fair. It’s very easy to use compared to Ninja. My mother, I got frustrated with it. Love ❤️ my Vita Mix
Jermey Hagen, yes this is common with homemade powdered sugar because storebought has additives to prevent this caking. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to each 1 cup of sugar to keep it powdery :) Hope this helps!
Excellent review! Great thorough review from a qualified individual "CHEF". Love the break down of categories of foods with a professional explanation of oils, consistency etc.... Mechanical component explanation is helpful addition Lastly, the breakable drop test from the top of the fridge. Thank you! You've made my decision a no - brainer if I should keep Vitamix or not. :) My friend got rid of her Ninja Pro for Vitamix (Basic / Analogue) - she loves it. Said, "its worth the investment". She is a professional with high standards.
Because of the blade design on the Vitamix, it has a tendency to heat or damage the nutrients of any vegetable smoothie. The Ninja would not have this problem...I'll be keeping my Ninja.
@@josephenglish4496 i watched the video and everything you said has nothing to do with what i said. The fruits and vegetables wont turn into hot soup if you dont leave it on for two long. Even then, you can just leave it on the low levels to avoid it heating up the contents inside the blender. It sounds like you never tried the vitamix yourself, otherwise you wouldnt be so against it. Its a bit pricey for the blender but i assure you if you manage to get your hands on a one, you will never need another blender again.
I bet coach Greg(Greg Doucette) would love to argue with you. He did a comparison with a new 400$ vitamix and an old 150$ ninja by making ice cream in equal portions and the vitamix gave a milkshake and the ninja had the ice cream sticking even when turned upside down
I’ve seen these comparisons before and as I figured, there is a massive massive problem with your comparison. You don’t compare blenders using the exact same amount of time, especially when they don’t have the same wattage. They have a specific amount of time for a specific recipe. I know for a fact ninja does a better job than you were showing here and I’ve seen it.
Everyone saying, "Vitamix must have paid" , "This looks like an infomercial" , "this guy is lying" , gurl you don't need a lot of thinking to realize that a 600$ blender will outperform a 200$ blender. I mean Vitamix quality is not comparable to the ninja , they're different ranges and it shows with the quality of the construction/blending.
Lol this should’ve been called how much the Ninja sucks. Thanks for the video I got the ninja but I’ve been considering buying the A2500 and I think you just sealed the deal for me
Glad we were able to help! Check out the a2500 colors here: evkitch.com/2H3BysG Everything Kitchens will price match the final price of any authorized retailer 🥤 Happy blending! *Price match info: **evkitch.com/2pYEhwn*
Hey, thanks for your question! The Ninja can perform blending task, just not at the level that the Vitamix Ascent can. The two blenders are defiantly at different price points and are targeted at different markets. When we compare products, our goal is to do balanced tests and report the results accurately. The Vitamix is at a higher price point, but does offer better performance in every area we tested. If price is a more important factor for you and you're not concerned with the quality of blends, then the Ninja may be a better fit. Let us know if you have any further questions!
Hi, The reason I asked the question was that I saw other reviews, and test, that when the Ninja was allowed to go a little longer, it did create a better juice, as far as Ice Crushing, the Ninja made snow out of the Ice. I don't own either one, looking right now, money is no problem, but not a lot people can shovel out in some cases 4 to 6 hundred dollars, and that is just for the Machine in Vita's Mix's case. The Ninja does give you a ton of stuff for 200 bucks. So maybe the Vita Mix does it quicker, but a little more time does not bother me. Thanks for you reply !
I started off with the Ninja BL660. It is 1100w and came with two single serve cups. And it just couldn't make green smoothies very well. Every time I tried to make a green smoothie, it came out exactly as you saw in this video. I put up with the Ninja for over a month, drinking gritty smoothies. I had never tried to blend green smoothies before so I assumed other blenders wouldn't be much better. I was dead wrong. I found that even $100 traditional blenders made better smoothies than the Ninja. The problem is that the tower of blades design simply spins contents around. Most blenders have a blade at the bottom which creates a vortex allowing food to be blended and re-blended instead of being spun around. That's why the Ninja's single serve cups do better, they have a more traditional blade design. Speaking of those tower of blades, they are very sharp and hazardous. It can be removed and you've got to be careful where you put them for your safety and the safety of others. Honestly if you want to make good green smoothies any $100+ blender would be better than the Ninja blenders. Ironically that blade design they have looks fearsome, but it is terrible for blending. If you can't afford a Vitamix, then look into the KitchenAid Diamond blender. It isn't going to compete with Vitamix, but it's much much better than Ninja. It's actually quite good for the price.
I want a blender that blends well, smoothies a must, and we love Snowballs, and we wanted one that really crushes the ice into snow, like we saw with the Ninja. I would love a Vitamix, but to pricey right now, we missed a sale at Costco , so you think the Kitchen Aid will do this, and the Snow ?
Jesus is the Way: if you want a blender that will make good smoothies, then yes, you'd be much happier with the KitchenAid. Just watch this video: ruclips.net/video/17f8wo526_c/видео.html Ninja smoothies are gritty... it's kinda like drinking a smoothie with thousands of bits of sand in it. And you can't blend blackberries or raspberries in the Ninja, because the seeds are left whole, meaning you have to drink whole seeds. It's just not a good blender. And yes, the KitchenAid has no problem blending ice. Although another thing you might want to consider is a refurbished Vitamix or Blendtec. You can find the KitchenAid Diamond blender on Amazon right now for about $113. You can also get a recertified used Blendtec on Amazon for about $237 right now, and it comes with a 3 year warranty. Blendtec will absolutely give you Vitamix quality smoothies and can do just about anything a Vitamix can do. But if $237 is still too pricey, then I'd go with the KitchenAid blender. Trust me, just search Ninja vs other blenders, and you'll find that the Ninja loses just about every single time.
I'm curious why there are reviews on Amazon showing shattered Vitamix jars from regular use if they're so strong. That being said, I got the 5200 no frills model. Taller jar makes storage a bit harder while put together, but the tall jar works better for blending
What a sellout review, the vitamix is clearly the better blender, but this paid review is clearly biased and didn't even give the ninja a chance. What an unprofessional channel.
My first Ninja Blender blades went dull in a few months. I tried using a different Ninja blender and it couldn't grind frozen fruits and ice properly. Luckily I got a full refund after two weeks of using the new Ninja blender. I just got a Vitamix A2500 yesterday, and boy was it a big difference! I no longer have to chew chunks of ingredients. The Vitamix is worth every penny!
How much did you buy yours for? Costco usually sells them for a decent deal. Either way its the last blender you will ever need. I had a ninja, but i ended up giving that shit to my older brother . He thinks its the best blender in the world, but if he only knew what a vitamix can do....
I had a friend who has his vitamix over 15yrs my vitamix is still running after 6yrs some of those other mixers ting to burn out especially nutribullets ninja I can't speak for
Very disappointed to learn that Ninja does not maintain parts supplies for the Ninja Ultima. Just need a new lid as the cheap plastic snapped on the spout and unless you hold it down the kitchen is covered in smoothies. Told Ninja customer support and they were silent then if they could recommend a Vitamix model.
This is a true review. The problem with my ninja was EXACTLY what her said in regards to blending. All my sauces had to be strained because my Ninja doesn’t break it down as well as my friends Vitamix. She doesn’t have to strain her sauces. I will spend the extra for the Vitamix. It’s worth my time 🤷🏻♀️
I just got th Ninja BN801.. My cuke n pineapple drink had zero strings today.. as opposed ti the Ninja single cup pulse-only smoothie maker Ive had for the past decade.
I always determine what my needs are and what to expect from a blender and spend accordingly, that way I get just what I need without spending a penny more.
Ninja is not good, you compare with Rolls Royce with Ford Focus. I work with 25 plus yr, i am chef my self, if you buy Vitamix every penny is worth. even lower end is good too.The model showing it Vitamix Ascent A2500 Blender cost $490.48 and A3500 cost $549.95 at Amazon.Last long long time.
Nasir, thanks for your comment! We think it's important to ensure that you are purchasing your Vitamix from an authorized retailer, otherwise your product will not come with a warranty (the new Ascent series has a 10 year warranty!) Our site EverythingKitchens.com is an authorized retailer of Vitamix. We also have a free membership program called Chef Perks where members enjoy free 1-3 day delivery for orders over 49.95 and earn points on every purchase made for discounts in the future. We outfit restaurants as well, if you ever need help with commercial Vitamix, our customer service can help you out 😉
You again? Lol . Look. Back in 2016, i wanted to save a few bucks, so i bought myself a ninja blender (with the small bullet cups) and convinced myself that i got a good deal, and i even bought the whole ninja set from costcos for $120 with the food processor and everything. The ninja is better than the common $10-$50 blender...but it is garbage compared to a vatamix and blentec. I bought a vitamix from costco for $260 on sale 3 years ago and i was blown away. I ended up giving all of my ninja stuff to my brother as a gift. Im telling youm you dont know what you are missing out on.
you cannot put a Vitamix to any other blender - if you would have used the Ninja Chef 1500-Watt Blender it would have given the VM a run for it's over price machine - I have used Ninja products for years and I've made everything you've made and all my food has come out perfect -
Hello peggy bachler, at the time of filming this video was that was thr most current model we had access to. Shortly after we finished this project, of course there was a new model that came out! You are correct, there are newer Ninja models out currently and hopefully in the future we can do another comparison with the newer models. Thanks for the input!
Hot soup function. Scientifically i completely understand but that is some magic food regardless of friction coefficients. If you're gonna be dull, you better be tough. Crush crush crush.
Lots of videos comparing ninja vs Vitamix, like dude they cost a lot different, there is no way to compare them, tbh Vitamix is super bad at ice and thick mixes, and the ninja does it pretty good, however no way you can compare these
Why are you comparing the latest vitamix to a 6 year old ninja model? At least you should compare to the most recent ninjas. The test format was great but it's not relevant to current models.
Hello! According to the Ninja's manual, the BL770A model is from 2016, and at the time of filming this video was the most current model we had access to. Shortly after we finished this project, of course there was a new model that came out! You are correct, there are newer Ninja models out currently and hopefully in the future we can do another comparison with the newer models. Thanks for the input!
The BL770 line has been out since 2012. Prior to the Vitamix Ascent release there have been several more powerful Ninja models than the one you tested available for comparison. The BL800 which came out in 2013 and the current Ninja Chef are much more powerful. Also there is a less powerful current Ninja Intelligence line (which I suspect will perform as poorly as the model you tested). A more interesting test would be against one of the older BL800 models or the similarly powered current Ninja Chef models. I tested a BL800 vs a Vitamix 5200 about five years ago and the Vitamix was slightly better at Kale smoothies but not 3x the price better. However, over time, the Ninja has had several significant failures while the Vitamix has had zero problems. Also, Ninja's warranty is effectively useless. All of your tests scenarios were interesting, just would have been better had it included a more capable competitor.
OC, thanks for the info. I would suspect that most of the test like the powdered sugar milling and the hot soup test would come out similar because the BL800 is was still using that stacked blade design, but I can see where the bump of power in that model could give better smoothie results. It does look like the most current Ninja models have dropped the stacked sharp blade design and went to a blade design similar to the Vitamix. Hopefully this year we can do another comparison with Vitamix and Ninja with one of their newer blade designs 🥦 Thanks for all your input!
You're welcome. FYI the BL800 has a removable stacked blade. It works much better without that stacked blade for almost everything. Blasting ice cubes in to snow is one exception. With the stacked blades it performed well better than the Vitamix. However, I've never had occasion to make my own snow outside of that test.
I have baby soup (rice porridge with vegies and fish/chicken) that i need to blend everything in it to be evenly small chunk (for infant and toddler) i dont mind to spend for vitamix. I just need something that wont pulverize everything. What is better?? Ninja with 3 blades or vitamix?
Hi vuilang, the Vitamix is a great blender for baby food - it makes the smoothest blends of porridge, soups, and fruit purees for infants. The Vitamix Ascent series blender even has an optional 8oz blending cup designed to make small portions for babies. And Vitamix has a 10 year warranty on their blender so if something ever goes wrong, they can help you out. We can ship your blender to the US for free: evkitch.com/1Q4C0SJ - if you have any more questions, we'd be happy to help, call us: 866-852-4268
Nice presentation for Vitamix. However, many people know (not everyone) that Vitamix liquifies ingredients better than Ninja. To regular users who do not spend hours in the kitchen playing with blenders, food processors etc. it is good enough to go with Ninja. Also, Vitamix is at least double the price of Ninja.
So, what I’ve learned from the video is I want a Vitamix. What I learned from the comments is that I can afford a Ninja and not a Vitamix😂. So, I’ll use a Ninja until I can afford a Vitamix!👍
I LOVE my Vitamix. Don't regret the $
I just got the Ninja IQ kit system.. I've had a Ninja personal jar mixer (with add'l small blender) for about a decade.. It's pulse-only. I wanted more. But I think I want the one with the food processor/veggie slicer attachment. I got the wrong one.

I assume the smell will go away over time. Overall, I love this cute little blender. The extra cups and lids are great too!
I'm sticking to my doctor Greg Doucette recommendation of a ninja 😂
Same lol
HeS NoT A DoCtor
Speaking as someone who’s owned both, the Ninja just doesn’t compare. It’s a food processor that’s pretending to be a blender.
@@PromotedPawn ur right
Lol same 🤣😂🤣😂
I know not all ninjas are the same. I have the ninja duo with auto-iq and I have used it several times a day for the last 4 years. It has been excellent for sauces, dressings, soups, salsa and pico de gallo, smoothies, pesto, grind coffee beans, and homemade hummus. I have found the smaller blending cups do make things smoother then the large container. Is it the quality of the Vitamix? Probably not. But it surely does the job until I can afford one.
Is ninja smart sreen blender duo that you have?
@@nayc115 I have the ninja duo with auto-iq
I feel this is more like an infomercial more than a review...
Lol ikr...the whole time I’m thinking “man, he couldn’t even TRY to make this review seem unbiased/unsponsored??” Especially considering vitamix usually costs like 350 minimum and you can get the ninja for like 350% less.
me too i was just thinking this guy works for vitamix
Man vitamix must've paid this guy a pretty penny to make this video.
Perhaps, but even so, he is telling the truth.
As someone with a ninja, they just suck
💪💜was thinking the same!!
Haha
It’s totally sponsored, he only has a link for the vitamix in the description. Furthermore it’s apples to oranges; the vitamix is almost double the price.
Having had my Vitamix 5000 for about 18 years I totally concur with this review. I've never had a Ninja so I can't speak to it's value or quality, but the Vitamix is worth every penny.
My Vitamix died after 12 years.I got a Ninja blender.In My opinion the Vitamix did a much better job of smoothies.Vitamix blended it much more smoother..
This guy is a Vitamix groupie
Well, I mean he's comparing products that are priced in different orders of magnitude lol.
@@aerowenn not the point blendtec claim they are better
And obviously ninja
You would be one too if you owned it. They are awesome blenders. No comparison.
And you must be a ninja groupie
In the sugar comparison, you ran the Vitamix on 10 and the Ninja you pressed the buttons to the left aka lowest setting buttons and said the Ninja did not fair when you misused the settings.... apples to oranges anyone?
I bought a Vitamix for smoothies and juices and it's great, I tried Ninja before and it was chunky
reason why chefs use a vitamix or blendec in the kitchen and not a ninja lol they actually liquify everything
This was an excellent and useful video. Some of the comments complain about comparing a high-end $500+ blender to a $100 blender, but there's many good reasons for it. Firstly, if Ninja is comparing itself to Vitamix, then it's asking for it. Second, it's good to see if the extra money nets you a better product, which it does. I'm sold on one. Pro Tip: buy a used one if the $600 price tag for new is too steep.
Better to buy a used high quality machine than a new cheaply made one.
Also, you can get parts for Vitamix blenders, even the older ones. Being able to repair a unit vs throwing it away to buy another cuts down on waste and adds value.
I use my ninja to make mango sorbet and it comes out thick AF not runny not all this bullshit. I also have a vitamix but I'm used to the ninja getting the job done without having to pound everything down.
My ninja does what I need it to do. It makes my smoothies fine. Gets them smooth.
I thought so too, but my wife really wanted a Vitamix and after purchasing one and trying it out I quickly learned how crappy my Ninja smoothies truly were.
Nice
@@jaredh9744 exactly, the majority of people who say ninjas are just as good as a vitamix have never even used a vitamix lol
I have both i use my ninja more vitamix u have to use that damn tamper all the time
Only VITAMIX OWNERS know how awesome they truly are!!! NO COMPRISING.
Simply comes down to how often you will use it. I've had my vitamix for 10 years, I use it 4-5 times per week...totally worth the money.
as a cook , the bread part made me cringe a lil , I mean you clearly can see that the ninja one didnt had enough flour to make it thick enough + who tf gonna do bread in a bleander , I mean come on!
Of course the Vitamix is better than the Ninja, but it's also vastly more expensive. So people on a budget's best bet in the Ninja. Also, it's nice how you get a personal blender, food processor, and spiralizer with the Ninja as well.
I believe he should use the Higher end Ninja!
I don't have CLUMPS in my Ninja/Chef
so this is very biased compersion!
also who makes soup like this, Really????
Look people, stop comparing the Vitamix vs. Ninja review like a Lambo vs. Prius. Its a $400 blender vs. $100 blender, not a $20K car vs. $250k car. If you need a blender right now and can afford it, get a vitamix. If you can't afford a vitamix, get a ninja. If you don't need the blender now and can save some money, then get the vitamix.
The vitamix is a chef quality blender that doesn't leave any chunks while the ninja just chops everything up as finely as possible but doesn't technically "blend". Also, keep in mind that the ninja is only as good as the sharpness of the blade which wears down over time. I used a ninja at least 3 times a week for 1.5 years and I needed to replace the blades every 6 months which cost me about $100 total. I currently own the vitamix, use it 5-7 times a week and have owned it for 1.5 years and its still running fine. Keep in mind that the vitamix comes with a 5 year warranty
I love how he got straight to the point lol
Thanks! We're not a fan of people's entire life stories with reviews, so we keep is quick and simple for people to understand 😎
After 10 years with a Ninja, the “plastic on plastic” drive sockets have not worn down at all...
But every other point was good :)
Good to know, thanks for sharing your experience!
I have a ninja bullet which is a much weaker motor. I've never had issue with kale, carrot, berry smoothies being lumpy. I can even drink them through a straw.
Your comparing a premium blender against a midrange blender. How about you also point out the price point difference.
That's irrelevant they both claim to do the same shit
You realize that ninja is always claiming to be better than vitamix, however its not the case sure the price point is tremendously different but he was only doing a simple comparison and it was as honest as can be.
@@jgilly3362 hahaha that's the dumbest shit I have heard today. So let me get this straight, what you are saying is, if a bullock cart says it can carry 4 passengers when a car claims the same then the price point is irrelevant, hahahah.. No need to respond, I rather not speak more with idiots cause like they say 'don't argue with idiots they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience'.
I'd hope for 3 times the price that the vitamix would be better. $79 vs $399 to $450. I use the vita for work because the owners paid for it but as far as home use ninja isnt bad
That Ninja isn't $79 dollars though. It isn't now and it wasn't when it was reviewed. Stop being disingenuous.
I dropped my vitamix jar from about 2 feet and put a huge crack all the way down.
Did you send it back. It has a 7 year warranty.
I just found your videos on the Vitamix machines. I've been reading/watching everything I can on these to see if they're worth the price. I own the exact Ninja you're using and yep - that is exactly how my smoothies turn out. Clumpy. Super glad I found your channel! And, I've actually baked for years but never once thought of making my own powdered sugar. Nor have I thought of using a blender for whipping cream (I have an automatic charger which uses c02 but my husband 'put it away' which means I'll probably never see it again). So, great information!
Do yourself a favor get a vitamix
Ok you have a 100.00 dollar ninja and you are comparing it to a 500.00 blender it will never be a fair have comparisons but if you compare the ninja chef to this it would not be that much different at all. I'd go 160 anyway over 500.00 then I'd just go ahead and buy a nutribullet and you could do everything and then some that the 500.00 one would do for only about 260.00 way cheaper.
But nothing beats vitamix. Hard truth!!
We have both the Ninja and a2500. The a2500 is everything this guy says it is. The ninja is good, but it simply can't do what the Vitamix can do. For those of you claiming he's getting paid to trash the ninja, you're simply under-informed. The Ninja can make smoothies, but it can't make them as smooth as the Vitamix. The magic is in those blades.
Dr B Vita mix over heats & kills everything not magic it murdering your food. 🔥 Soup lol
@@josephenglish4496 You muppet, it heats food if you run it for 5 minutes, which is what you WANT if you are making hot soup. Smoothies take 30 seconds to a minute to make, which won't be hot.
Opps.. forgot to mention, your review hands down beats all the others who aren't professionally trained "CHEFS".
Thanks for taking the time to do the review.
Glad to be of help, Global Music! 😁
Much appreciated. 🙏🏻
I have Vitamix, and Blenbtec blenders, and they both use similar blades, and HP. 5-8 year warranties, and made in the US. If you think a Ninja made in China, with a 1 year warranty is equal or better than either of them, you are sadly mistaken..... Professional smoothie shops around the nation, only use Blendtec, or Vitamix blenders... Why do you think that is so?
Short and sweet. No blah blah in between. I really liked your presentation. I thought Vitamix was a juicer so I had to watch the video to check this out. Good job - Nicole
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the great review. It was very detailed and to the point.
I bought the Ninja several years ago because it was so much cheaper than the vitamix and thought how bad can it be, well shit it couldn’t even make a smoothie I’m not sure it ever made anything worthwhile or correctly so I gave in and paid the $500 for the Vitamix a year and a half ago and Jesus lord that thing is awesome, make my own peanut butter, ice cream, soups, sumbitch it’s endless what this thing can do. Worth every penny!
7:28 Says he's going to use the blend function and then uses crush! Not fair
He's advertising the Vitamix. See the link above. Review?
Excellent review. Clear comparison and clear winner.
Edit: People saying it is an unfair comparison due to price are wrong. The Ninja's design relies on its blades being sharp so you will see a rapid fall in performance. This means buying new blades. Its assembly is brittle. This means a new machine. By the time my vitamix dies, you would have needed to buy many, many replacement ninjas and thus spent far more money. The Vitamix wins on BOTH performance and price. Then when you consider the work involved in some recipes, like fermenting veg before pureeing, why would you waste that effort on a lower quality machine?
He's also using a very old Ninja machine, had he used a modern Ninja , the results for Ninja would have been far better. Ninja is a tremendous machine.
My ninja is shit
My ninja is shit
Agreed!!! Ninja is awesome!! Just bought it today !
another part is how the blades are set up, one has the blades from the bottom where the other has the blades on a pole, blades on the bottom blends stuff more better
How much did vitamix pay you?
Hey, John! Thanks for the question! A lot of videos like this are promoted by the manufacturer, but Vitamix has not paid us any money for this video. Our team at EverythingKitchens.com test products and compares them to the competition to see how they measure up. We try to be as transparent as possible in our reviews and honest with the results. Hope this answers your question!
John Michael Believe it or not a Vitamix blender is NO joke!
vitamix is the best, i have the A2500 very nice.
Yeah it kinda didn't feel as though it was comparing like with like. Ninja is a fraction of the price of Vitamix.
thats kind of what Ninja asks for though when they say they are better for a fraction of the price.
Dude fantastic demo
Could this bias have something to do with his site selling Vitamix and no Ninjas? Lol toss is why everyone should check for bias. I have done those exact same tests on the Ninja and didn't get such bad results. I'm curious what the test conditions are.
This is total bullshit. i am just a consumer and after watching several videos from everything kitchen I came to conclusion that you are out there to get NINJA. First off all you are comparing 2 products that are NOT of the same category. Vitamix is a lot more expensive product than Ninja. Ninja never claimed that can make hot soup. Why do you even try this unethical comparison? Sounds like you are getting paid from vitamix to crush Ninja but that is not working for me. As a consumer myself who I do not know anyone from Ninja, i am totally sold to Ninja and can not wait to get mine in a few days.
Go look for a refurbished Vitamix a2500 and you'll see the prices make them direct competitors. For the price, the vitamix mops the floor with the Ninja. Technically speaking, the entry level vitamix uses the same motor as the high end ones, so if you wanted apples to apples there you go. The entry level units may lack smarts, but they'll still blend the hell out of whatever you place inside of them.
Amazing job .I trust on u completely
Problem #1 Carmel = City in California
Car-a-mel = colour or state of sugar. (long first A, short second a)
Problem #2 WTF comparing a blender that routinely costs over $300 to a sub-$100 one??
Seems that Chef Austin (who is unlikely a Chef) is not only partial, but is probably paid by Vitamix.
Obvio le pagaron
how loud is the vitamix? one of my graduation presents is a blender and i’m consider which one to buy and the vitamix seems perfect for me! but i don’t want to wake up everyone on my floor making soup at 3 am lol
shirlene cambridge, the Vitamix is not too loud at lower speeds, once you go past speed 5 it gets pretty loud - it's hard to keep a 2.2 horsepower motor quiet! If you are worried about noise, you may look at the Blendtec Pro 800 which has a sound shield making it very quiet - this is what smoothie shops and cafes use to make blended things quietly. Check it out here: evkitch.com/2Ij7hdG
Everything Kitchens thanks! i’ll look into it ☺️
oil molecule small enough to surround a water molecule ?! Tough to take the man seriously after saying something like that...It's droplets by the way, not molecules.
He sells Vitamix blenders. Click links.
Well you know what they say: You get what you pay for. Vitamix FTW! 👍👍👍
because you will be using powdered sugar everyday lol
snake oil at its finest
@@adam3d851 no moron, because I don’t want to chew my smoothie.
Instead of buying the next videogame system, i am saving my money for a vitamix blender, #adulting
Huy Nguyen your hardwork and responsibility will pay off in the future. God bless you.
My Vita Mix 5200 is over 20 yrs old. I bought mine at a county fair. It’s very easy to use compared to Ninja. My mother, I got frustrated with it. Love ❤️ my Vita Mix
I’ve made powdered sugar and it works great, but it doesn’t stay powdery. Is there a trick, or is it depending on the sugar you start with?
Jermey Hagen, yes this is common with homemade powdered sugar because storebought has additives to prevent this caking. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to each 1 cup of sugar to keep it powdery :) Hope this helps!
Can you please make a video to review Ninja foodi blender vs Ninja chef vs Vitamix?
Wow. What a great review; so thorough and to the point. Thank you.
Excellent review! Great thorough review from a qualified individual "CHEF".
Love the break down of categories of foods with a professional explanation of oils, consistency etc....
Mechanical component explanation is helpful addition
Lastly, the breakable drop test from the top of the fridge.
Thank you! You've made my decision a no - brainer if I should keep Vitamix or not. :)
My friend got rid of her Ninja Pro for Vitamix (Basic / Analogue) - she loves it. Said, "its worth the investment".
She is a professional with high standards.
Because of the blade design on the Vitamix, it has a tendency to heat or damage the nutrients of any vegetable smoothie. The Ninja would not have this problem...I'll be keeping my Ninja.
Where did u hear that nonsense?
@@toastytuna1696 thats just coming from somebody that cant afford a vitamix
Miguel Robb it comes from the video it over heated everything & made hot soup??? Are you that blind.. suggestion::: re watch video
@@josephenglish4496 i watched the video and everything you said has nothing to do with what i said. The fruits and vegetables wont turn into hot soup if you dont leave it on for two long. Even then, you can just leave it on the low levels to avoid it heating up the contents inside the blender. It sounds like you never tried the vitamix yourself, otherwise you wouldnt be so against it. Its a bit pricey for the blender but i assure you if you manage to get your hands on a one, you will never need another blender again.
Lol you have no clue what your are saying.
I bet coach Greg(Greg Doucette) would love to argue with you. He did a comparison with a new 400$ vitamix and an old 150$ ninja by making ice cream in equal portions and the vitamix gave a milkshake and the ninja had the ice cream sticking even when turned upside down
If you want a cheaper blender that work almost as fine, get the nutri bullet 1100
I’ve seen these comparisons before and as I figured, there is a massive massive problem with your comparison. You don’t compare blenders using the exact same amount of time, especially when they don’t have the same wattage. They have a specific amount of time for a specific recipe. I know for a fact ninja does a better job than you were showing here and I’ve seen it.
"even after blending over 6 minutes"... so you gave it an extra 15 seconds and it didn't heat up anymore? Strange...
The fact that he expected a hot soup just because he ran it a little longer tells me what I need to know about this review.
Vitamix advertised the fact that it could make hot soup, it was worthwhile to see if the Ninja could do it too. I don't see whats wrong about that
8:13 seems unfair - the Ninja photo is more of a close-up than the Vitamix'.
it doesn't have a hot soup function but lets have it try it out anyways to see if it gets hot? What is this testing methodology?
Vitamix is the best no doubt
Everyone saying, "Vitamix must have paid" , "This looks like an infomercial" , "this guy is lying" , gurl you don't need a lot of thinking to realize that a 600$ blender will outperform a 200$ blender. I mean Vitamix quality is not comparable to the ninja , they're different ranges and it shows with the quality of the construction/blending.
Caramelized onions? Why not add ketchup?
How much did vitamix pay you for this review?
Lol this should’ve been called how much the Ninja sucks. Thanks for the video I got the ninja but I’ve been considering buying the A2500 and I think you just sealed the deal for me
Glad we were able to help! Check out the a2500 colors here: evkitch.com/2H3BysG Everything Kitchens will price match the final price of any authorized retailer 🥤 Happy blending! *Price match info: **evkitch.com/2pYEhwn*
get a e320 from costco
Ninja made in China
Vitamix engineered and assembled in Cleveland Ohio Usa
its like comparing a blinder to a food processor!!! Apples to oranges!!
Tell me your sponsored by vitamix without telling me your sponsored by vitamix
$100 VS $350+ so yes of course Vitamix is going to win
MrProTechHD the ninja chef would be a better comparison
So you have no good words for the Ninja, it can't do anything at all right ?
Hey, thanks for your question! The Ninja can perform blending task, just not at the level that the Vitamix Ascent can. The two blenders are defiantly at different price points and are targeted at different markets. When we compare products, our goal is to do balanced tests and report the results accurately. The Vitamix is at a higher price point, but does offer better performance in every area we tested. If price is a more important factor for you and you're not concerned with the quality of blends, then the Ninja may be a better fit. Let us know if you have any further questions!
Hi, The reason I asked the question was that I saw other reviews, and test, that when the Ninja was allowed to go a little longer, it did create a better juice, as far as Ice Crushing, the Ninja made snow out of the Ice.
I don't own either one, looking right now, money is no problem, but not a lot people can shovel out in some cases 4 to 6 hundred dollars, and that is just for the Machine in Vita's Mix's case.
The Ninja does give you a ton of stuff for 200 bucks.
So maybe the Vita Mix does it quicker, but a little more time does not bother me.
Thanks for you reply !
I started off with the Ninja BL660. It is 1100w and came with two single serve cups. And it just couldn't make green smoothies very well. Every time I tried to make a green smoothie, it came out exactly as you saw in this video. I put up with the Ninja for over a month, drinking gritty smoothies. I had never tried to blend green smoothies before so I assumed other blenders wouldn't be much better. I was dead wrong.
I found that even $100 traditional blenders made better smoothies than the Ninja. The problem is that the tower of blades design simply spins contents around. Most blenders have a blade at the bottom which creates a vortex allowing food to be blended and re-blended instead of being spun around. That's why the Ninja's single serve cups do better, they have a more traditional blade design.
Speaking of those tower of blades, they are very sharp and hazardous. It can be removed and you've got to be careful where you put them for your safety and the safety of others.
Honestly if you want to make good green smoothies any $100+ blender would be better than the Ninja blenders. Ironically that blade design they have looks fearsome, but it is terrible for blending. If you can't afford a Vitamix, then look into the KitchenAid Diamond blender. It isn't going to compete with Vitamix, but it's much much better than Ninja. It's actually quite good for the price.
I want a blender that blends well, smoothies a must, and we love Snowballs, and we wanted one that really crushes the ice into snow, like we saw with the Ninja. I would love a Vitamix, but to pricey right now, we missed a sale at Costco , so you think the Kitchen Aid will do this, and the Snow ?
Jesus is the Way: if you want a blender that will make good smoothies, then yes, you'd be much happier with the KitchenAid. Just watch this video: ruclips.net/video/17f8wo526_c/видео.html
Ninja smoothies are gritty... it's kinda like drinking a smoothie with thousands of bits of sand in it. And you can't blend blackberries or raspberries in the Ninja, because the seeds are left whole, meaning you have to drink whole seeds. It's just not a good blender.
And yes, the KitchenAid has no problem blending ice. Although another thing you might want to consider is a refurbished Vitamix or Blendtec. You can find the KitchenAid Diamond blender on Amazon right now for about $113. You can also get a recertified used Blendtec on Amazon for about $237 right now, and it comes with a 3 year warranty. Blendtec will absolutely give you Vitamix quality smoothies and can do just about anything a Vitamix can do. But if $237 is still too pricey, then I'd go with the KitchenAid blender.
Trust me, just search Ninja vs other blenders, and you'll find that the Ninja loses just about every single time.
Best review video I’ve seen for the blenders head to head!
I'm curious why there are reviews on Amazon showing shattered Vitamix jars from regular use if they're so strong.
That being said, I got the 5200 no frills model. Taller jar makes storage a bit harder while put together, but the tall jar works better for blending
What a sellout review, the vitamix is clearly the better blender, but this paid review is clearly biased and didn't even give the ninja a chance.
What an unprofessional channel.
My first Ninja Blender blades went dull in a few months. I tried using a different Ninja blender and it couldn't grind frozen fruits and ice properly. Luckily I got a full refund after two weeks of using the new Ninja blender. I just got a Vitamix A2500 yesterday, and boy was it a big difference! I no longer have to chew chunks of ingredients. The Vitamix is worth every penny!
How much did you buy yours for? Costco usually sells them for a decent deal. Either way its the last blender you will ever need. I had a ninja, but i ended up giving that shit to my older brother . He thinks its the best blender in the world, but if he only knew what a vitamix can do....
I had a friend who has his vitamix over 15yrs my vitamix is still running after 6yrs some of those other mixers ting to burn out especially nutribullets ninja I can't speak for
My Ninja is at least 6 yrs old.. and that's the pulse-only smoothie maker. I just got the IQ system.. we'll see.
Very disappointed to learn that Ninja does not maintain parts supplies for the Ninja Ultima. Just need a new lid as the cheap plastic snapped on the spout and unless you hold it down the kitchen is covered in smoothies. Told Ninja customer support and they were silent then if they could recommend a Vitamix model.
Why would I make powdered sugar?
Review the Breville Boss Blender
Fule Ule, we will consider this blender in our future reviews :) Thank you for the suggestion
This is a true review. The problem with my ninja was EXACTLY what her said in regards to blending. All my sauces had to be strained because my Ninja doesn’t break it down as well as my friends Vitamix. She doesn’t have to strain her sauces. I will spend the extra for the Vitamix. It’s worth my time 🤷🏻♀️
I just got th Ninja BN801.. My cuke n pineapple drink had zero strings today.. as opposed ti the Ninja single cup pulse-only smoothie maker Ive had for the past decade.
So, what he’s really doing is comparing blade designs? Would like to see him compare like blades.
This infomercial crap just made me buy the Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System with Auto-iQ and I'm glad I did.
I always determine what my needs are and what to expect from a blender and spend accordingly, that way I get just what I need without spending a penny more.
Ninja is not good, you compare with Rolls Royce with Ford Focus. I work with 25 plus yr, i am chef my self, if you buy Vitamix every penny is worth. even lower end is good too.The model showing it Vitamix Ascent A2500 Blender cost $490.48 and A3500 cost $549.95 at Amazon.Last long long time.

I just bought ninja and my smoothies came perfect???? $125 at Target for everything... Food processor blender & bullet
You again? Lol . Look. Back in 2016, i wanted to save a few bucks, so i bought myself a ninja blender (with the small bullet cups) and convinced myself that i got a good deal, and i even bought the whole ninja set from costcos for $120 with the food processor and everything. The ninja is better than the common $10-$50 blender...but it is garbage compared to a vatamix and blentec. I bought a vitamix from costco for $260 on sale 3 years ago and i was blown away. I ended up giving all of my ninja stuff to my brother as a gift. Im telling youm you dont know what you are missing out on.
Miguel Robb thanks... I will see.... Good response
So biased!
you cannot put a Vitamix to any other blender - if you would have used the Ninja Chef 1500-Watt Blender it would have given the VM a run for it's over price machine - I have used Ninja products for years and I've made everything you've made and all my food has come out perfect -
Hello peggy bachler, at the time of filming this video was that was thr most current model we had access to. Shortly after we finished this project, of course there was a new model that came out! You are correct, there are newer Ninja models out currently and hopefully in the future we can do another comparison with the newer models. Thanks for the input!
No, it wouldn't have I had both and there was no comparison I sold the Ninja.
So glad I bought the #Vitamix blender instead of the #Ninja blender.
Hot soup function. Scientifically i completely understand but that is some magic food regardless of friction coefficients. If you're gonna be dull, you better be tough. Crush crush crush.
How much were you paid from Vitamix?
Ninja is 1/10th the price. If it’s not blended enough add more time! When I buy a blender I’m looking for one setting……blend. Period!!!
Lots of videos comparing ninja vs Vitamix, like dude they cost a lot different, there is no way to compare them, tbh Vitamix is super bad at ice and thick mixes, and the ninja does it pretty good, however no way you can compare these
The ninja is not a good blender. BUT the 32 oz cup with separate blade is good. It’s worth the extra cash for Vitamix.
I love the vitamix but he does present partial🤨
No comparison I had a Ninja it’s junk I threw it away garbage so I bought a vitamix 750 pro it does everything perfect
Why are you comparing the latest vitamix to a 6 year old ninja model? At least you should compare to the most recent ninjas. The test format was great but it's not relevant to current models.
Hello! According to the Ninja's manual, the BL770A model is from 2016, and at the time of filming this video was the most current model we had access to. Shortly after we finished this project, of course there was a new model that came out! You are correct, there are newer Ninja models out currently and hopefully in the future we can do another comparison with the newer models. Thanks for the input!
The BL770 line has been out since 2012. Prior to the Vitamix Ascent release there have been several more powerful Ninja models than the one you tested available for comparison. The BL800 which came out in 2013 and the current Ninja Chef are much more powerful. Also there is a less powerful current Ninja Intelligence line (which I suspect will perform as poorly as the model you tested). A more interesting test would be against one of the older BL800 models or the similarly powered current Ninja Chef models. I tested a BL800 vs a Vitamix 5200 about five years ago and the Vitamix was slightly better at Kale smoothies but not 3x the price better. However, over time, the Ninja has had several significant failures while the Vitamix has had zero problems. Also, Ninja's warranty is effectively useless.
All of your tests scenarios were interesting, just would have been better had it included a more capable competitor.
OC, thanks for the info. I would suspect that most of the test like the powdered sugar milling and the hot soup test would come out similar because the BL800 is was still using that stacked blade design, but I can see where the bump of power in that model could give better smoothie results. It does look like the most current Ninja models have dropped the stacked sharp blade design and went to a blade design similar to the Vitamix. Hopefully this year we can do another comparison with Vitamix and Ninja with one of their newer blade designs 🥦 Thanks for all your input!
You're welcome. FYI the BL800 has a removable stacked blade. It works much better without that stacked blade for almost everything. Blasting ice cubes in to snow is one exception. With the stacked blades it performed well better than the Vitamix. However, I've never had occasion to make my own snow outside of that test.
I have baby soup (rice porridge with vegies and fish/chicken) that i need to blend everything in it to be evenly small chunk (for infant and toddler) i dont mind to spend for vitamix. I just need something that wont pulverize everything. What is better?? Ninja with 3 blades or vitamix?
Hi vuilang, the Vitamix is a great blender for baby food - it makes the smoothest blends of porridge, soups, and fruit purees for infants. The Vitamix Ascent series blender even has an optional 8oz blending cup designed to make small portions for babies. And Vitamix has a 10 year warranty on their blender so if something ever goes wrong, they can help you out. We can ship your blender to the US for free: evkitch.com/1Q4C0SJ - if you have any more questions, we'd be happy to help, call us: 866-852-4268
I just came here to see how much a vitamix so I could see if we could buy one but then I looked at the price
You used the wrong ninja
Right!!!!! Ninja has a blender to compare... but its not this one!!! Its the hot cold one...
