Our Verdict

KitchenAid K400

Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher SS201

The KitchenAid K400 is better than the Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher SS201 for most uses. It's better built and makes a smoother blend of fibrous ingredients like kale and broccoli, so it's better for recipes like smoothies and soups. On the other hand, the Ninja is easier to use to make thicker mixtures like nut butter.
