Our Verdict

Ninja Blast

Ninja Blast Max BC251

The Ninja Blast Max BC251 is a little better than the Ninja Blast. The Max can make better-blended smoothies with kale or fruit, as long as you don't fill it to full capacity. It's also much better at crushing ice. Its design, with blades fixed in the jar, makes it easier to clean and carry around. That said, you might prefer the Blast's more compact design.
