Quick verdict
Ninja Professional Plus with Auto-iQ (BN701) edges it overall, winning 2 of 4 rating categories. Ninja Fit Personal Blender (QB3001SS) is cheaper to start ($60 vs $120).
You’re the cheapest single-serve blender that still crushes frozen fruit. Two to-go cups and a 700-watt pulse motor for about $60. Best for fruit smoothies; fibrous greens and seeds won’t be perfectly smooth.
Check priceYou’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.
