Ninja Fit
Score: 70/100Rankings
The BLACK+DECKER 10-Speed Countertop Blender provides ten speed options, a 40-ounce glass jar, and affordable pricing. Its high noise level and modest motor power can be drawbacks for very thick blends. Great for beginners and small households looking for basic functionality.
The Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender offers a portable 700 W motor with two 16-oz travel cups, ideal for on-the-go single-serve smoothies. Its small capacity, need for continuous manual pressure, and higher noise level limit batch preparation. Perfect for students and apartment dwellers.
