Our Verdict

Magic Bullet Portable Blender

Ninja Blast Max BC251

The Ninja Blast Max BC251 is better than the Magic Bullet Portable Blender. The Ninja has a bigger capacity and makes a smoother blend with small batches of fibrous ingredients like fruit or kale. It can crush ice, and you might prefer its design, which has its blades fixed in the jar and is easier to clean and carry around.
