Both the Ninja BN401 and Oster My Blender personal blenders boast a sporty design that exudes a uniquely attractive aesthetic appeal.

However, in terms of performance, the Oster's lower-powered motor couldn't match up to the Ninja BN401, especially in making protein shakes, crushed ice, extracting greens, and frozen fruit smoothies. The Ninja BN401, with its cutting-edge features and powerful motor, easily pulverizes all ingredients with effortless ease, resulting in consistently smooth and delicious blends every time.

If money is no object, the Ninja BN401 is the clear choice for anyone seeking the ultimate blending experience. Otherwise, the Oster My Blend can still be a useful tool for those looking to incorporate more nutrients into their diet by processing softer, plant-based foods.
