What is the difference between MC701 and the MC703 Ninja 3 in one cooking system
1876884
The MC701 and MC703 units, liners, and lids are the same, the difference is in the description only when using the MC703 accessories, a roasting rack, a multi purpose baking pan, a silicon trivet. silicone mitts, a mini muffin tray, and a cookbook. The controls seem to be identical, Stove top, Lo Med and HI then Slow Cook Lo or Hi and Buffet mode and one Bake mode with variable timer and temperature settings.

From the descriptions, the differences I can see are that the MC701 is only a 3-function system: Steam Infused Roasting, SEARious Programming, and Steam Infused Baking. The description also does NOT include any extra "gadgets." Conversely, The MC703 has 6 functions including those listed for the MC701 as well as searing, simmering and sauteing. It also comes with additional parts: removable roasting rack, multi-purpose pan and silicone petite muffin tray.

There is no difference. I bought the MC701 from Target for $99 and the MC703 on Amazon for $159. They are both 1200 Watt units, exact same model. The MC703 just refers to the unit with oven mitts, heat pad, muffin pan. It is a marketing scam. Buy the MC701 from Target for $99 and use your own mitts and hot pad. The MC701 sears and sautees even though it does not list in on the box. It tells you how to sear in the owners manual and recipe book included. You just turn to Stove Top High and sear your chicken, etc. in the unit. I checked the model# on the physical units and they are identical. I then called the support line at ninjakitchen.com and they verified that the only difference is the additional cooking items. So save your money and buy the MC701. See picture and description of professional model on ninjakitchen website. Only difference is hotpads, mitts, muffin pan and a lame, too small warmer: http://ninjacooking.ninjakitchen.com/special-offers/

The "N" edition is the same cookware. The only difference I can see is the seller.

I'm not familiar with Ninja Mega, but I googled it and Mega has more power, 1500 watts whereas this has 1200 watts. Price for mega is about 10.00 more. Look here to read more http://www.amazon.com/Ninja-Mega-Kitchen-System-BL771/dp/B00A3D5IZ6

The pan in the Ninja is aluminum and weighs very little. Depending upon what you're cooking in the pan (i.e., fish or a roast), the contents would be the primary weight factor. I would add, however, that since the pan is almost as large as the bottom of the cooker, you might need tongs of some sort to aid in removing it after the food is cooked.

Biggest difference is electronic controls and automatic egg turning. See Brinsea's website for more info: http://www.brinsea.com/products/mini.html

I would suggest looking in the booklet that came with it and calling the telephone number tats there and asking them. Hope this helps. I am so pleased with my Ninja cooker.

it is a more functional cooktop with timer and more varying ranges of temperature over all a much more efficient model. but the 1700 is just a basic cooktop. Still a good model.

If you are interested in chopping anything harder than a soft cheese, (ice, nuts, frozen fruit) then I would go with the Ninja system...this was the deciding factor for me! I have blended ice, frozen peach slices, and nuts in my Ninja without fail or fear of burnout... the less expensive models are great if you are only blending powders and liquid, even a ripe banana was a challenge for a $17 dollar model I used at my dad's...so if you are interested in longevity, go with the Ninja...even if you drop off a diet smoothie kick, you can still use it to make margaritas!

I have this and the Nuwave (the infomercial I think you're referring to). The Nuwave is bigger and much more powerful and cooks about 20% - 30% faster than the Sunpentown SO-2002. The Sunpentown seems better built (ie, glass bowl). FWIW, I use the Nuwave and love it. The Sunpentown is in reserve should the Nuwave break. It CAN cook multiple items but they all need to be on the same rack and you need to know cooking times for different items to know when to put them in the oven. They need to be on the same rack so as to get direct heat. If you use multiple levels the lower levels take FOREVER to cook as they don't get direct heat.

The Ninja does not function as a rice cooker. You could use the stovetop function but that would the same as using the stove.

That's correct. The version sold in the US does not have the quad blade and it's not for sale as an add-on. If you go to their Aussie site, you can find the quad blade there but I don't know if they'll ship it to the US. I have the single blade. Works very well. The whole setup is about 3x as powerful as those tiny food processors and about 1/3 as effective as a full size standard cuisinart. Gets the job done for me though.

The STX Magnum is a more basic model. It only has one speed compared to the Megaforce which has 3 speeds and the Magnum does not have the cooling system. Both will reverse which is a safety feature. Just about everything else is the same. I got 3 blades, 3 different sized grinding plates, the tray, etc. I only grind one chicken at a time so I don't need the cooling system. I grind all the bones through on the smallest grinding plate and then just meat (breast, muscle meat from the legs and thighs) on the medium plate which is just right for the chunky "chewy" meat. The price is close. If you are going to grind a lot at one time, then I would go with the Megaforce.

I replaced my Nutribullet with the Ninja....and I'm glad I did. It's very powerful, liquefies in seconds. The nutri billet would often leave me with chunks of unprocessed bits of carrot and ice. Very happy with the ninja. And for the price....I believe it's a way better value. Hope this helps :)

I use the Ninja and find it works great for making smoothies as well as pureeing when making soups.

The 740 had a slightly more powerful motor - and is no longer available AFAIK. 730 works just fine for me, and I do some pretty heavy duty chopping and mixing with it.

Functionality not much difference. My friend has the basic model that's 20 years old and still going strong. This model is a whole lot cleaner to maintain. The ash pot contains all the ash and embers. My friends complaint is ash and soot everywhere. So if you don't mind the mess and clean up go with the basic.
