Ninja Professional Plus Blender Duo (BN701)

It ranks #8 of 17 on our blenders tier list, in B tier. That placement draws on 4 independent outlets.

None of the 4 sources with a clear view is critical of it. 1-year warranty. Shorter expected lifespan than the premium brands.

Buyers who will not spend Vitamix money and want the rational budget full-size: good power for the price, cheap and widely available parts, and a short warranty. It is consistently recommended for exactly that buyer. Buy it knowing the lifespan trade. If you want a blender for a decade, save up for the Vitamix Explorian E310 instead.

Shorter than the premium brands, with a 1-year warranty. Plan on a few years of regular use rather than a decade. Because parts are inexpensive and widely available, a worn blade assembly does not have to end its life.

Yes. Widely available, inexpensive parts are one of the three reasons our board ranks it as the rational budget pick. Pitchers, lids and blade assemblies are easy to replace, which matters more on a 1-year-warranty machine than on a Vitamix.

The Ninja Professional Plus Blender Duo (BN701). They cost similar money, but the Chefman Obliterator (RJ27-T1-TJ) leads with wattage marketing over substance, has no durability track record and a weak support reputation. The BN701 is a known quantity with cheap parts, which is why it is B tier and the Chefman is D tier on our board. The Oster Pro 1200 is the other defensible budget option if you want a glass jar and a metal drive.

Rinse the pitcher and the stacked blade assembly straight after use, handling the blade stack by its shaft since the blades are exposed. Wash with warm soapy water or run warm water with a drop of soap for 30 seconds. Wipe the base with a damp cloth and never submerge it.
