Our Verdict

Vitamix Explorian E310

Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System with Auto-iQ

The Vitamix Explorian E310 is better than the Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System with Auto-iQ for most purposes. The Vitamix has a much better build quality and can blend hot ingredients for soups and sauces. It's much better for processing big batches of fibrous ingredients and making nut butter. On the other hand, the Ninja is quieter and has automatic blending programs. It comes with personal jars for single-serve smoothies, although the Vitamix is still better at processing small batches of fibrous ingredients.
