Our Verdict

Vitamix Explorian E310

Ninja DUO

The Vitamix Explorian E310 is better than the Ninja DUO. The Vitamix has a significantly better build quality. It makes a smoother puree with large batches of fibrous ingredients and can hot blend, so it's much better for recipes like soup. It's more suitable for blending hard ingredients like nuts and is easier to clean by hand. The Ninja DUO's main pitcher has a bigger 72-ounce capacity and comes with a pair of 20-ounce jars for making single-serve smoothies.
