Our Verdict

Vitamix Explorian E310

Ninja Chef Blender

For most purposes, the Vitamix Explorian E310 is better than the Ninja Chef Blender. The blenders perform similarly, but the Vitamix has a significantly better build quality. It's also quieter, although both blenders are on the loud side. You may prefer the Ninja if you want features like automatic blending programs and a programmable timer. Its main jar also has a larger capacity.
