Our Verdict

Ninja Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ

Magic Bullet Mini

The Ninja Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ is a better personal blender than the Magic Bullet Mini. It's more powerful and performs better at making nut butter. It's also remarkable at crushing ice, which the Magic Bullet can't do without liquid in the jar. That said, the Magic Bullet is considerably smaller and lighter.
