The Ninja depends on this sharpness to blend – and they do dull over time. A negative is that the blades are sharp and can easily cut your fingers and hands. A big benefit of the blade attachment is that it is easily removed for cleaning. Six thin sharpened metal blades alternate up a center post. The Ninja comes with a vertical 6 blade tower attachment. These blades are made to last and will not lose their edge after 1000s of blends. Two are blunt hammermill blades and two are cutting blades. We still feel if program cycles are what you are looking for then you should consider the blender that does it best – Blendtec.īlades and Design: Every Vitamix comes with a strong laser-cut four prong stainless steel blade. Ultimately using the high, low and pulse buttons produced better results than using the programs. While the programs can be helpful we found that they just don’t function nearly to the level that you see in the commercials and videos. The idea is brilliant and the presentation with the flat-panel is very nice. The latest difference is that it has a set of programmed blend cycles depending upon the container that attaches. The Ninja Chef Intelli-Sense has the same 1200 watt motor and design, still comes with a limited warranty (up to 2 years with some promotions) as the other Ninjas. Ninja blender models come and go, like the discontinued Ninja Ultima which had a dial to change speed (We found the dial to be “clunky” and the speed inconsistently jumps as it is dialed.) The latest model is the Ninja Intelli-Sense. The best we were able to get was a report that on speed setting 3, the highest speed, the Ninja blender can run up to 24,000 RPMs. We were unable to acquire information on the actual speed of the settings. Most Ninja models have 3 set speeds (and a pulse), speed 1 for dough making, speed 2 for blending and speed 3 for ice-crushing (frozen-drinks). When you have the Vitamix running at maximum speed it is loud and you know it’s doing some serious work. This allows you to efficiently accomplish a wide range of tasks that most blenders can not. SPEED: Vitamix is unique in the home blender world in that it has true variable speed control with an amazing range of 500 to 37,000 RPM. The Ninja blender handles fruit smoothies easily but obviously struggles with some of the more demanding tasks such as blending whole frozen fruit, some vegetables, and nut butters. The result is always a smooth and consistent texture. The Vitamix quite literally is able to handle anything we put in it. Keep in mind that power is only one factor that affects true performance, other factors such as blade speed, torque, heat, friction, and design play a larger part in how well a blender performs. (*Ninja power / watts vary depending upon specific model – pay close attention to the model you are considering.) We tested the Ninja Professional NJ600 1000 watts (the best seller) and the Ninja Kitchen System and Ultima 1500 watts. POWER: Both machines have good “power”, the Vitamix 1380 watts vs Ninja’s 1000-1500 watts. The Vitamix ONE also can not make hot soup, nut butters, or grind grains. If you want super smooth blends or to make hot soup, or grind grains you will need a full-size Vitamix as the Ninja can not accomplish these tasks. If you spend the extra for the Ninja Mega Kitchen System then you are able to mix and knead dough similar to how you can in the Vitamix without additional attachments. There is no doubt that the Vitamix and Ninja Blenders can crush ice, blend fruits, blend vegetables, and make blended drinks BUT the results will differ.
