Ninja Professional Plus BN701
The best value full-size blender — 1400W Auto-iQ programs deliver one-touch convenience at under $100.
Our Review
The Ninja Professional Plus BN701 brings serious power at a fraction of Vitamix pricing. Its 1400W motor with Auto-iQ technology provides one-touch programs for smoothies, frozen drinks, and ice crushing — no guessing on speed or time. The 72oz pitcher handles large batches, and the stacked blade assembly blends evenly from top to bottom. At under $100, it's the best blender for most households and the one Consumer Reports consistently recommends.
