Our Verdict

Ninja Professional Blender 1000

Ninja Professional Plus Blender with Auto-iQ

The Ninja Professional Blender 1000 is slightly better than the Ninja Professional Plus Blender with Auto-iQ, mainly because it makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients like kale. Otherwise, the blenders perform similarly. However, some may prefer the Auto-iQ because it's sturdier and has a few automatic blending programs.
