Overall Verdict
If you prioritize ice crushing capability and hi-tech features, the Ninja BN401 may be the better choice for you, while the Ninja Fit is a more compact and budget-friendly option that can still produce excellent results for most recipes.
Our rigorous testing has revealed these two blenders might deliver equally outstanding results in blending dense and fibrous whole foods. Whether it was leafy greens, berry seeds, or raw nuts, both blenders effortlessly produced the creamy and indulgent texture that is the hallmark of a delicious and nutritious drink.
The subtle difference between the two blenders lies in their ice-crushing abilities. The Ninja BN401, boasting a powerful motor and a generously sized container, effortlessly crushed ice to produce a delightful snow-like consistency in mere seconds.

Not only that, but the Ninja Fit also required a bit of extra shaking to ensure all ingredients were thoroughly blended in most of the tests, while the Ninja BN401 offered advanced features such as the convenient Auto-iQ preset, which simplified the blending process, taking take your blending experience to a whole new level.
