Our Verdict

Calphalon ActiveSense

Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher System [CO351B, SS351]

The Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher System and the Calphalon ActiveSense have different strengths. The Ninja comes with an extra jar that makes it much easier to use for thick recipes like nut butter. It's better built and has a greater number of speed presets. However, the Calphalon can be used for hot blending, so it's way more suitable for recipes like soup or sauce. Its main jar is also easier to clean by hand than the Ninja's.
