I am looking at the Nutribullet and this Ninja. Has anyone owned both that could compare?

Yes. I had the Nutribullet for a year and a half when it stopped working Happily, I had a two-year warranty on it, so when I received my $99 rebate from the warranty, I sprung for an extra $50 to purchase the Ninja kitchen system that works incredibly well. I LOVE my Ninja, and would never buy anything else. I was able to sell my blender and my juicer, which are no longer needed.

This Ninja is better, I've used both!! This can make up to 46? oz., as opposed to the 18 oz. the nurtribullet capacity. Ninja is much better. I adore this blender, processor. I'll never go to another brand. Grinds up everything. Has worked wonderfully! I make soothies every day with everything inside of them. The nutriB was ok but this is more functional!

Nutribullet motor is louder than the Ninja. My husband said that I should wear ear plugs when using the Nutribullet. It does blend veggies smoother than the Ninja. With the Ninja I can make enough smoothies for more than one person, plus I like the motor on top of the container.

I've had both, I would suggest the Ninja as it is more durable. My Nutribullet broke after 5 uses. I can mix up a smoothie/juice/etc in my Ninja and pour it into a reusable cup. But I love my Ninja.

The Ninja does not pulverize, it chops and it blends. The Nutribullit will mill nuts and take all the lumps out of your smoothies, but if you try to do mashed potatoes , they turn into a gluey substance. I think both are enormously valuable and as you might imagine I use both for different things. As for classic juicing, these are both extractors, l think superior to juicers which eliminate the pulp. With these two , you get the whole enchilada.

I have both Nutribullet and Vitamix. I've also had a dedicated juicer which I gave away...too much trouble. Anyway, Nutribullet works almost as well as Vitamix without having to take up so much counterspace. Also I believe the "juices" taste better when you keep the fiber in. Way more filling. Admittedly I can't give you any advice about the Ninja but I do believe you can't go wrong with Nutribullet.

I didn't have a NutriBullet, but my sister does. My Bella makes quick work of pulverizing flax seeds and everything else, even with the blender blade (not the one for coffee, nuts, etc.), and my sister's NutriBullet leaves them mostly whole. Considering the huge price difference and more powerful motor along with the great reviews, I'd try the Bella.

It's more of a juicer than for smoothies. It's better than a traditional juicer because the pulp does not get discarded. If you keep the apple skin on, you need to blend a little longer to turn it into a smooth juice. You won't be disappointed with the nutri bullet. It's really powerful.

I had a Ninja Pro and returned it. I'm not sure why it gets good reviews. As far as I am concerned it isn't a blender. I tried to make blender hollandaise sauce in the ninja and my old $35 Oster blender did a better job. It is a decent smoothie maker but not as good as the Breville. The Breville does everything I need. I make a smoothie every day and even the greens get chopped up smooth. Never got close to that with the Ninja. Hollandaise sauce comes out great. The best decision I made was to return the Ninja and get a Breville.

The Ninja was a very good product but my wife tends to mix things that are not too fluid such as, peanut butter, bananas and oatmeal; The Ninja just wasn't as effective at blending certain mixtures. Also, the Vita-mix has a great feature whereby you have specifically sized push tools that allow you to aid the process without fear of contacting the mixing blades. My wife likes the Vita-mix outfit much better.

Before I owned a blentec, I owned a ninja and I must say blentec is by far the best!

No, the nutribullet has a hard time blending things that are overly thick. You even have to be careful when making smoothies.

StacyI have had my Ninja since December 2012. I have used it 2 to 3 times daily and it is still working great. This week I finally broke down and ordered a new set of blades for it because mine seemed to be getting dull. I have the 770 abs it works great. When I went home for thanksgiving this year I bought the 1100 watt professional and gave it to my mother and she loves it also. It seemed to have a little less power but still did the job just fine. If this one ever died I will buy another one for sure. Love it!

I have only chopped nuts and it does fine. It's a nice little blender for the money. If you want one that really does the job and feels more stable, spring for the nutri bullet. I have both. The maxi matic is much smaller so I take it on my trips it fits in my suitcase much better. I hope this was helpful

I have a nutribullet. Not sure if it is the RX or not. Got it one year ago. These fit great. Have only used one but have a spare now.

I personally bought this Ninja for fruits and vegetables. I found no problem using it. It blended well. I also tried some meat and fish, not bad as well. It is only one speed with no botton. easy to use. I would give 5 star for it. I do mostly fruit smoothies, absolute no problem at all and satisfied.

We have tried a couple different ninja's (because they have scored well in other ratings). We couldn't stand them. They are very loud. Much louder than the Brevilles. The Breville is much easier to clean. The Breville is also more stable and secure on the countertop. The ninja's required two hands holding them at all times. The Breville is very solidly built and well engineered to last.

I too own both, but I have a slightly differing opinion. I feel the NutriBullet doesn't do near the job of pulverizing ingredients in comparison to the Vitamix. It does an incredible job, however, for a $100 blender. Now, if NB would only offer a 30 oz container so the user isn't tempted to overfill (leads to seal leakage, as mine did). A 180 lb male preparing Zone-balanced meals is hard-pressed to prepare a whole-food 4-block meal in a 20 oz container. I am now using my Vitamix to prepare my smoothies. More expensive, yes, but I already owned it AND cleanup is just as easy.

One item of note: the size of the "bullet" containers. The Nutri is 24 and 18 oz - whereas the Ninja's is 16 oz. To me this does make a difference. I like adding a little more liquid to make sure I can micro pulverize, and the Nutribullet allows that. The 24 oz also allows for two smaller smoothies...not going to happen with the Ninja.
