Both blenders have similar heavy-duty motor bases, but in our tests we found the Ninja BL480D Nutri wasn’t as good at pulverizing solid ingredients, such as ice cubes, raw almonds, and dried berries. It didn’t create as much blending excitement as its counterpart either, due to its gimmicky features and its hefty weight.
The NutriBullet 900 Pro on the other hand, is a basic yet enjoyable-to-use personal blender. It was unrivaled, outperforming the Ninja BL480D Nutri in all of the tests. Although it doesn’t look as fancy, it still provides the experience of luxury and durability. Its appeal comes from the simple design, consistent performance, and balanced weight.
If you have to choose between these models, we recommend considering the NutriBullet 900-Watt Pro.
