Our Verdict

Ninja Professional Plus Blender with Auto-iQ

Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher SS201

The Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher SS201 and the Ninja Professional Plus Blender with Auto-iQ perform similarly, so which you prefer depends on what you're looking for. The SS201 comes with an extra blade for forming dough. It has more speed presets, more automatic blending programs, and a digital blending time indicator. If you don't mind the Professional Plus' simpler design, it's sturdier and quieter when running.
