NutriBullet v NutriNinja - what's best?

[helenblack]

I need a new blender & am torn between Nutri bullet & Nutri Ninja.

Any suggestions?

I've been told the Bullet takes up less counter space so leaning towards that, good idea?

Which? reviewed them this month. According to Which the Best Buy is nutri ninja as not only does it blend juices/soups/pesto well but also blends ice well, which they say the nutri bullet doesn't. Also, all bits of the ninja are dishwasher safe including the blades, which is not true of the bullet. Ninja is also cheaper.

Well thank you very much indeed for the info, that's very helpful.

I'll check out Which? myself too.

Thank you again : )

There's a thread titled Vitamix where someone has linked to a blender called "Enpee" which looks awesome. We have a Nutribullet Pro, which is great. But my SIL has a Blentec (which is more like the Enpee/Vitamix) and it's amazing. Can do everything in it and I think it works out smaller/easier than the Nutribullet. If it's a longer term investment and you don't already have a big blender etc. then consider that. Far more versatile (I'm coveting it, but may have to be a Christmas present next year!)

Thanks devsdev, i will look into the Enpee too as it sounds very fancy!

Really appreciate this, thank you.

I use the bullet and I do houmous, soups, dips - all sorts of blended food, as well as juices. Do a google search on shopping prices - I got mine 20% off from Argos.

I don't have a dishwasher but it is so easy to clean. No hardship!

the bullet is half price at Robert Dyas at the moment so only ?50. Kicking myself that I didn't wait until post-chrimbo to buy one but have been loving it since we bought it in November. Added bonus is the dry food blade which we use to make breadcrumbs and grind spices for cooking. Such a whizzy object.

I have a billet and love it. Agreed that it's super easy to clean literally takes about 10 seconds. And it does do ice - I put ice into my smoothies every single time as I like them nice and cool.

I have a ninja, it's great. I can't answer your question as I have never used the bullet, but when I was making the same decision last year the Ninja seems to get better reviews online. Ease of cleaning and smoothness of juice were the main differences. If you look on YouTube there are some videos where the compare and contrast them (not entirely scientifically) and Ninja comes out best.

Thanks for all your posts everyone, you've all been really helpful.

I'm slightly swaying toward the bullett as my friend has one now & she loves it plus it does look tiny.

Just be aware the bullet isn't designed to crush ice and there was a fairly recent issue as blades were breaking.

Just to throw another suggestion into the mix (!), after extensive research - nearly settling on the NutriNinja, not being able to stomach the spend out on a Vitamix - I've just bought the Magimix Le Blender and it's impressive (reviews good too). It's very powerful, solid build with a range of versatile settings and comes with a 3 year guarantee. Bought from John Lewis but got them to price match against Lakeland who are doing a really good price currently. Now I need inspiration for what to make in it... Will start another thread on this!

I have settled for the wonderful NutriBullet.

I love it, very dinky & so easy to use aswell as clean.

I've used it everyday since buying it for smoothies & will try to do some soups soon.

Thank you everyone for your help on this, really appreciated
