    Personally as someone who makes smoothies everyday, the ninja and nutribullet never blended everything and I’d have to chew my smoothies. It was terrible. (But I use kale, spinach and almonds along with a frozen banana). Vitamix has BLUNT blades which smash the food instead of slicing it. (Think mashed potatoes- if you just kept chopping them, they’d never be smooth, you need to smash them). But with blunt blades, you need the RPMs and power to really smash stuff. Vitamix is absolutely worth it for me

      Don't buy this garbage!!! I have this garbage because that is what I can call this garbage Vitamix a2300i
      SELF-DETECT® Technology is a badly designed , in container is a small magnet in the lid and it connects to the container which has a black strip built into the rubber casing that transmits information to the lower part informing that the lid is in place fortunately, the lower part is damaged due to vibrations and stops transmitting information that the cover is in place it's like cutting a cable and waiting for electricity you can press the lid down as much as you want and it won't work look at the smaller containers they have a magnet on the rims after a while the magnet breaks but still working this is my 2 and the last one, the first one worked 3 months, 2 it worked 8 months, I give back and want a refund I guess I'll make a video of it warning everyone

      Standar size ball/mason canning jars fit on most blenders, so maybe that’s where it came from. So you can make a bunch of smoothie jars ahead of time and blend right in the jar, put the lid back on and take it with you.

    With the Ninja, when making smoothies or the like, it benefits HUGELY from any kind of liquid in there with the solid ingredients. Milk, cream, or even fruit juice, water, or something thicker like a bit of yoghurt. It seems to help a lot with the final texture.
    Also, 100% those blades are sharp as sin. I dropped the blade tower while cleaning it once (soapy hands) and got some nasty cuts on my forearm.Take care and clean it like you would clean a sharp knife.

    I had that same ninja for about a year and the issue with it is that the blades are not made to last… they are very sharp out of the box which makes it appear to be a good product but within 6 months to a year of regular use the blades got dull which made it nearly unusable for green smoothies because of the chunks and inability to grind up fresh greens to a smooth texture. I then upgraded to my Vitamix A3500 and I’m obsessed with it. Vitamix truly makes quality products and they stand by that which is why there is a 10 year warranty. You get what you pay for. Anyone who tries to say Ninja is better has not had enough experience with either machines to be comparing the two.

      If you only had to replace the blades on a cheap blender every 3 years and the rest of the blender lasted 10, then we'd have a different story.
      But you also have to consider how good each blender is at its purpose.
      The point was if you were really to spend 90 dollars 3 times (370) for a product which actually is no where near as good as a 500 dollar product which lasts for 10 years and does everything better, it's an easy decision for me.
      And the blades aren't the only thing to fail. The motors on cheap benders aren't built to last either, especially when blending tough items.

      The package included: 64 oz jar for smoothies, etc and 48 oz dry grains Jar, 2 single serve cups, the blade base for the single serve cups, cook book. In my opinion to me is the most complete package. The best way to describe it: put chia seeds or flax seeds and you won’t see a trace of it in your smoothie. If you use it to make tomatoe sauce you won’t see the seeds not need to strain it. If you buy it from Costco and you are not satisfied you can return it no questions ask.

    clearning the ninja is chore. it's three parts, and you have to be really careful with the blade. the hole at the bottom of the blade gets food inside it and hard to clean it out. the ninja top has a lot of crevices and even with daily scrubbing, you'll start to notice build up. the vitamix cleans itself. as for performance, I noticed whole foods using a vitamix. i tried making the strawberry almond smoothie from whole foods at my house with my ninja and couldn't get the taste and consistency, so i bought a vitamix. it really just boils down to how you like your smoothies. i'm picky and prefer no chunks. i don't even like pulp in orange juice, but obviously some people love it. the ninja cannot blend the tiny seeds in strawberries. there are times you'll have to stop the ninja and move your food around so that it will blend. it's a lot more convenient to use a tamper with the vitamix

Spending $500 on a device you'll only use occasionally is insane. In the "affordable" category, the Ninja is way better than anything else you'll find. The fact this $90 blender can even be compared to a $500 Vitamix is a testament to how great it is. And who really needs a "Smart Blender"?

      The Ninja is much more difficult to clean, the blades are sharp which means they wear pretty quickly, and the middle blade column can be quite dangerous in use/cleaning.
      The Vitamix is for someone who regularly makes themselves smoothies. If you drink smoothies for your health, you don’t want pieces inside. Also, blenders don’t typically last very long because they have cheap motors inside them. The Vitamix will last for over a decade for most people and if you regularly use a Ninja, you might be lucky to get a year.

  • @longlivecrusader2747

    It depends on the watts and what you are blending. The vitamix is much faster and blends everything silky smooth. The Ninja 1400 watt also blends but not as good. I had both. All I can say is that the vitamix is definately much better but if you are on the budget Ninja is fine. If you are blending hard things like seeds and so on vitamix for the win. If you are blending basic stuff like fruits and kale Ninja will do. They are not the same.

The Vitamix is a much better product, but to be fair, not everyone can afford to pay that much for a blender. The Ninja is a suitable substitute for those on a stricter budget.

    The usability of the Ninja is superior since the functionality requires no smartphone to use, but the Vitamix is worth the money due to it's longer lasting construction, and the sheer power it has to liquify kale. I don't want to have to chew bits of kale in my green smoothie, I want a creamy consistency that's easy to drink. I would recommend getting a refurbished Vitamix that has the older functionality that didn't require a app to get the most out of it.

Steaming veggies can help a bit with nutrient bioavailability, if not overdone---but destroys the antioxidants. That said, it's OK to eat your salads if you have lotsa time & you don't mind eating 2x to 4x the amount required in a nutrient-equivalent smoothie.

I just bought the Ninja Creami and none of the lids fit securely on the containers, it is cheaply made and louder than either one of my vitamixers. The Ninja creami doesn’t do nearly what the vitamix can do…if your on the fence about purchasing the Ninja creami DON’T buy one , it’s overpriced and hyped up. Because of the bad quality of my first Ninja product, I’ll never buy that brand again…I paid $350. For my vitamix at Costco…the warranty is also better. As the Ninja is a limited 1 year warranty. It is getting harder to buy any good products as it about the hype …the recipes and not the actual performance/quality of products. I’ve also noticed Name brands that I used to trust because they were Quality products at reasonable prices are no longer that same quality because products can be cheaply made overseas with fancy designs and electronics for much cheaper and if people would just stop buying this stuff ,manufacturers would have to make quality products at affordable prices…as long as we keep buying cheap products we will continue to support that industry.

But if the pitcher or "jar" warps, then it might be worth spending the extra money for a non-plastic pitcher.
