Ninja BL660 Blender vs Beast Mega 1200 Plus Blender

Buy the Ninja BL660 if you want one machine for big batches, ice crushing and food prep, and you value a full-size pitcher plus to-go cups. Buy the Beast Mega 1200 Plus if you mostly make single or family smoothies and want a stronger motor, a longer warranty and a smaller footprint. The Beast has more power (1200W vs 1100W) and a 2-year warranty against Ninja's 1 year, and owners call its blends creamy and velvety. The Ninja wins on versatility: 3 speeds, pulse, a 72-oz pitcher and chopping blades. Both are loud; the Beast is rated 4.4 out of 5 from 151 ratings.

• Choose the Ninja BL660 if you blend large batches, crush ice for parties, or want chopping and to-go cups from one base.
• Choose the Beast Mega 1200 Plus if you want a stronger motor, a longer warranty and a compact personal blender for daily smoothies.
