Ninja QB900B Master Prep
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Ninja QB900B Master Prep combines a 400-W motor, quad-blade system and interchangeable 48-oz pitcher with a 16-oz chopper bowl, providing strong blending and chopping performance. Its single-speed pulse operation and lightweight construction may limit precise texture control and perceived sturdiness. Great for small households needing a space-saving 2-in-1 blender and processor.
The BLACK+DECKER FP1600B is an 8-cup food processor with a 450 W motor, a reversible slice/shred disc and dishwasher-safe components, delivering solid chopping and slicing power for family-size prep. Its single-speed design, modest pureeing ability and some durability worries limit its appeal for heavy-duty users. It works well for home cooks needing a budget-friendly, versatile processor for everyday tasks.

Professional reviewers commend the FP1600B for its solid chopping, slicing, shredding, and grating performance, noting the reversible blade and generous 8-cup bowl as strong points.

Everyday users generally like the processor's power, ease of cleaning, and value for basic prep tasks, especially for chopping and shredding vegetables. Recurring frustrations focus on weak pureeing, limited speed settings, and worries about long-term motor reliability, leading to mixed overall satisfaction.
Professional reviewers highlight the Ninja QB900B's 400 W motor and Quad Blade system for superior ice crushing and uniform chopping, while praising the interchangeable pod for versatile prep. They note the convenience of dishwasher-safe parts and a compact footprint, but point out the lack of variable speed options and the occasional difficulty cleaning blade crevices.
