Our Verdict

nutribullet Flip

Ninja Blast Max BC251

The nutribullet Flip is a better portable blender than the Ninja Blast Max BC251. The nutribullet blends fibrous ingredients faster and makes a smoother blend at full capacity, which is important for well-blended smoothies. It's a little quieter and includes a straw lid, which you might prefer. However, the Ninja is much easier to clean and is much better at crushing small batches of ice.
