Its powerful motor-tied for highest wattage in this story-can chop up tough ingredients without you having to interrupt the blending process to scrape and stir. Ninja’s innovative TWISTi blenders have angled tampers built into the lid that constantly push ingredients toward the blades for more thorough blending. Size: 7.4 x 9.6 x 18 inches | Power: 1,400 watts | Pitcher Capacity: 64 ounces | Speed Options: 4 | Accessories: 64-ounce food processor bowl with chopping and dough blades, 2 (24-ounce) cups with blade and travel lids This is the second most expensive Ninja on this list, but potentially replacing three separate machines with a single tool might well be worth it.
BEST SMOOTHIE BLENDER 2019 MANUAL
Manual controls include three speed settings and pulse. The system has five different Auto-iQ preset programs for making smoothies, crushing ice, extracting juice, chopping, and kneading dough. It doesn't, however, come with the slicing or shredding tools that most food processors include. On top of that, it comes with a 64-ounce food processor bowl with both a metal chopping blade for tasks like making salsa and a plastic dough blade for kneading up to 2 pounds of bread dough. It can handle classic blending tasks like crushing ice and making milkshakes and cocktails in a large pitcher, but it also has two 24-ounce cups with their own blades and to-go lids to make individual smoothies for busy mornings.
BEST SMOOTHIE BLENDER 2019 PLUS
Size: 6.8 x 9 x 17.5 inches | Power: 1,400 watts | Pitcher Capacity: 64 ounces | Speed Options: 4 | Accessories: NoneĪ true multitasker, the Professional Plus "kitchen system" incorporates a traditional full-size blender, personal blender, and food processor on the same base. Some reviewers complained that the smoothie program made a chunkier smoothie than they liked, but it's easy enough to run the blender a few seconds more to solve that problem. The Ninja Professional Plus offers three speed settings and a pulse button, along with three Auto-iQ settings, programs that run patterns of pulses and speeds designed especially for making smoothies, crushing ice, or blending ice cream from frozen ingredients (there's an included recipe booklet, too). A big plus for cleaning is that the pitcher and blades are both dishwasher-safe.

The pitcher capacity is 64 ounces, enough for a lot of smoothie, though that size and the triple blade are probably overkill if you're only going to be blending small amounts. Its unique design has three sets of blades set at different heights inside the pitcher, to ensure that every bit of food inside is fully blended. Its 1,400 watts can crush ice or pulverize nuts with ease. If you're looking for pure power, this is the Ninja blender for you. Smoothie setting doesn't always blend thoroughly Size: 6 x 8 x 17 inches | Power: 1,100 watts | Pitcher Capacity: 64 ounces | Speed Options: 4 | Accessories: 2 (16-ounce) cups with blender and travel lids When it's time to clean up, everything except for the base is dishwasher-safe, a huge bonus for anybody who doesn't like scrubbing pulp off a tiny, sharp blade. The small cups have a screw-on blade and attach directly to the base for blending, and each one has its own screw-on travel lid. In addition to the BPA-free plastic pitcher that holds up to half a gallon (that's 64 ounces) for large batches, the set includes two 16-ounce cups for on-the-go, single-serve smoothies. It has three manual speed settings and a pulse button that are very simple to operate. This model is both a traditional pitcher blender and personal blender, with a 1,100-watt motor and six blades that can crush ice and blend frozen cocktails, smoothies, and sauces. The best blenders are also the most versatile.
