Our Verdict

Ninja DUO

nutribullet Blender Combo

The Ninja DUO is better than the nutribullet Blender Combo for most purposes. The Ninja is better built, can crush ice, and does a better job processing hard ingredients like nuts. On the other hand, the nutribullet can hot blend, so it's much better for recipes like soup. It's also easier to clean by hand.
