We got a ninja for smoothies because I couldn't bring myself to buy a Vitamix just for smoothies. We have a really good food processor we use for cooking.

Ninja has been great. I especially like how easy to clean it is. After I make smoothies I just fill it will soapy water and then rinse off the parts.

Vitamix if you want to shell out 400$+ It's not as earth shattering as it's promoted to be (self-cleaning function doesn't get it really clean), and it needs to take breaks so it doesn't overheat when you're crushing ice, but we have one with a 10 year warranty and are hoping it will last since our prior Kitchen Aid blenders broke every year or so from our daily use.

Ninja works great, going strong 6+ years and really makes veggies tiny enough to not notice…BUT the pitcher cracked and broke off. section after being dropped into the sink once Didn’t effect function, but I hate that it is broken plastic on the bottom.

Same. It’s been working for 15 years now.

I have a ninja from Costco. It’s good but if I could do it over I’d just get a vitamix.

Vitamix, no question.

Vitamix.

Vitamix and have never looked back

I have a Kitchen Aid. Works great, great looking.

I also love my Ninja, but I think the model I have was discontinued some time ago.

DD badgered me into getting a Ninja, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it works. Far better than my old Hamilton Beach, which I've now tossed.

Vitamix, and they always seem to be on sale at Costco.

My vitamix is at least 10 years old and has never faltered.

I have a ninja one I got at Costco about 10 years ago. Love it.

Do you love your blender? Tell me about it. This will primarily be for smoothies.
