Nutribullet and Ninja are the two blender brands most people end up choosing between. Both sell compact personal blenders that are easy to use, and both are well reviewed. The real differences show up once you look at the specific model, the price and what you want to make.
We compared the best-reviewed models from each brand on Amazon UK, in four types: personal blenders, jug blenders, soup makers and portable blenders. We haven't tested them ourselves. This comparison is based on the Amazon listings and customer ratings, so check the latest price and details before you buy.
| Type | nutribullet | Ninja | Our pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal blender | 600 Series | Slim QB300 | Close to a tie: see below |
| Jug blender | Jug Blender | 2-in-1 BN750U | Ninja, if you can spend more |
| Soup maker | No model in our catalogue | Foodi Blender & Soup Maker | Ninja |
| Portable blender | Portable Blender | Blast | Ninja |
Personal blenders: both have a 4.7 star rating. The Ninja QB300 is listed at 700W and the nutribullet 600 Series at 600W, and at the time of writing the Ninja is the cheaper of the two. The nutribullet has far more reviews, which makes its rating the more proven one. Either is a good buy, so choose on price on the day.
Jug blenders: the Ninja 2-in-1 comes with a full jug and a personal cup and has a higher rating, but it costs roughly double. The nutribullet jug blender is the cheaper way into a family-size blender, though it has far fewer reviews and a lower rating.
Soup makers and portable blenders: the Ninja Foodi is the only soup maker here and it is the priciest model on this page, with a small number of reviews so far. In portable blenders the Ninja Blast has the higher rating and many more reviews than the nutribullet equivalent, and it costs a little more.
