Ninja Professional Blender BL610 vs Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender

Buy the Ninja Professional BL610 if you blend for a household, crush ice in volume, or want one machine for smoothies, sauces and frozen drinks. Buy the Ninja Fit QB3001SS if you make one smoothie at a time and have little counter space. The Professional has the stronger 1000-watt motor, a 72 oz jar and four speeds; the Fit has 700 watts, a single push-to-blend control and two 16 oz cups with lids. Owners rate the Professional well for power and capacity but call it bulky and loud; the Fit is praised for easy cleanup and small size, though its single speed limits control and its cups are small for families.

• Choose the Ninja Professional 72oz Countertop Blender if you blend for two or more people, want to crush ice and frozen fruit in batches, and have room for a full-size jar on the counter.
• Choose the Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender if you make single servings, want to blend straight into a cup and take it with you, and need something that stores in a cabinet.
