Our Verdict

nutribullet Blender Combo

Ninja Blender Duo with Auto-iQ BL642

The Ninja Blender Duo with Auto-iQ BL642 is better than the nutribullet Blender Combo for most purposes. The Ninja has a better build quality. It can make snow-like crushed ice and is much better suited for processing hard ingredients like nuts. All of its components are dishwasher-safe. On the other hand, you may prefer the nutribullet model because it can hot blend. It's much easier to clean by hand and makes a much smoother blend with big batches of fibrous ingredients.
