Our Verdict

Vitamix 5200

Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher SS201

The Vitamix 5200 is better than the Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher SS201. The Vitamix has a better build quality. It can hot blend and make a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients like kale or broccoli. It is also much easier for tough tasks like making nut butter and cleaning it by hand. However, the Ninja can handle more ice at once, and its pitcher is dishwasher-safe, unlike the Vitamix's.
