Choose Ninja Fit Personal Blender (QB3001SS) if…

Choose Ninja Professional Plus with Auto-iQ (BN701) if…

You’re one-touch smoothie programs at a mid-range price. More power than the BL610 plus Auto-iQ programs that pulse and pause for you: press “smoothie” and walk away. Smoother results with greens than cheaper Ninjas.
