Overall Verdict
Both the Ninja BN401 Nutri Pro and the NutriBullet Pro are stand-out personal blenders, each with their unique strengths that make them great options for different preferences. In our testing, both blenders demonstrated outstanding performance in blending protein shakes, frozen fruit smoothies, leafy greens, and producing finely crushed ice with a snow-like texture, surpassing their competitors by a considerable margin.
In terms of build quality, both boast solid constructions and top-grade materials, including upscale blades, to ensure durability and heavy-duty blending capabilities. However, the Ninja BN401 Nutri Pro comes equipped with the two Auto-iQ presets, adding further convenience and enhancing the user experience, which the NutriBullet Pro lacks.
