Ninja vs Vitamix | Vegan Blender Battle

A high-speed blender is probably one of the most valuable things you can have in your kitchen as a vegan, so we decided to test how the Ninja Blender (a lower price blender) compares to the Vitamix Blender (a higher end blender).

*I had one of these before and it lasted many years and I used it a lot. It blends **MyBest.Kitchen** chops ,grates. Does most anything you would want to use it for. A lot of bang for your buck. A litlle loud however it so fast it is not bothersome.*

[@goldwaves]

I am in need for a blender, I primarily use a blender for making sauces, emulsifyling foods, smoothies, making my own ginger and garlic paste etc. I saw a Ninja chef on the market, that comes with a tamper. The blade is not the same as other Ninjas. Would this kind work better?

[@ramblingcaroline2411]

I have a Ninja with the food processor, big giant container thing, and three smaller cup sizes. I NEVER use the big cup or food processor anymore bc the blades suck with smaller portions, but I use at least one of the other cups daily and it works fabulously.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Exactly! The smaller cups for the ninja are amazing! Who ever needs to blend than much at once anyways, haha.

[@sunwindandtree2841]

I was thinking about which blender I should buy and this is perfect video!!! Thank you so much :))

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Glad it helped. We only put it through some basic tests but agreed that the Ninja is a great starter blender, but that the Vitamix is also a great investment because of what it can do and how long it lasts.

[@aBMWEnthusiast]

The Accent Series (A2300, A2500, A3300, A3500), and the Venturist V1200 (sold at Costco) all have 10 year warranties.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Thanks for this! So good to know for anyone looking to buy a blender.

[@destineyrodgers1733]

The most unbiased review ever..😍😍😍😍😍😍 thanks you guys

[@TwoMarketGirls]

You're welcome!

[@ginduf]

great to see, i bought the ninja (from costco $180 US) to save money so i'm happy they're comparable. thank you!

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Hope you like the ninja! It seems like a great starter blender for sure!

[@aprila1492]

I've had a "professional" series Ninja combo system for at *least* 6 years. I use it daily for making a bulletproof-ish coffee. Yes - hot coffee. In the personal cup. It's awesome. Beyond that I've used the blender pitcher for smoothies, alcoholic beverages, and fruit and veg mixes to dehydrate into toddler snacks. The processor is a champ. Done homemade mayo (easier in a mason jar with a stick blender btw), flours, doughs, coconut butter.. I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot. It is definitely one of my favorite kitchen tools to use. I haven't really found much it cannot do. Only a few gripes: -The smoothie/personal cup can be annoying to blend with unless you've got plenty of liquid. Otherwise, there's lots of shaking/banging it down to the blades or opening a messy container to add liquid. -The pitcher blades are scary AF. You WILL cut yourself if you're not careful. Do not leave any ninja blades in a tub of soapy water. You don't want to grab those on accident. I wash mine in the dishwasher, UNDER the overturned pitcher for safety. -No matter how long I blend greens in the Ninja, it NEVER makes them disappear into the mix entirely. And the texture just has a tiny bit to be desired. So.. I broke down and bought a used Vitamix A3500 base off eBay and a steel pitcher from Costco. We'll see how that goes, but I have a feeling I'll be selling the Ninja eventually. Maybe.

[@nmccutcheon2243]

I have a Vitamix and it is excellent for everything. It's also big and I have limited counter space, so I keep it in the pantry. I blow it off a lot because I don't feel like lugging it out and clearing a space to use it. I also have a first generation ninja that came with a blender and a small food processor which I managed to melt and ruin on the stove top. So, my ninja blender is a dedicated margarita maker 😃. What I really love/loved is my NutriBullet. I just burned up the motor of my third one, but it's size is/was so convenient that it was my go to for everything. I've used it for smoothies, nut butter, hummus, pesto, salad dressings, salsa, grind grains into flour etc., and it's small enough to fit in the cupboard. And the containers come with lids. Definitely getting another one really soon.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Have had the NutriBullet before as well and loved it when I had it. Would never give up, my Vitamix I use it everyday, but totally understand the lugging it out pain. It's the main reason I don't use it more often.

[@marianatort6781]

You guys helped me a lot, wasn’t completely sure about going for Vitamix but I’ve just made my mind, it’s quite expensive but think is totally worth it though.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

We're glad we could help! The vitamix is a worthwhile investment!

[@lauratransformingvegan3245]

What a great video thanks! I love my Vitamix but have always wondered what the difference between it and the Ninja would be 😊

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Glad you found it helpful! We love the Vitamix too, but the Ninja seems like it would be a great starter/low-budget blender.

[@lauratransformingvegan3245]

Two Market Girls it's good to know I can recommend the Ninja to a few of my friends who aren't sure if they would use the Vitamix enough to pay that much for

[@ingridfarming]

Where did you get your sweater it's excellent

[@wendihurley5755]

Great review 👍🏼 I love my Vitamix and considering getting Ninja for 2nd home. This was helpful - thx ladies!

[@Cookingbylaptopblog]

I love my Ninja! I call it "the poor man's Vitamix."

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Haha! The Ninja is defintiely a great value!

[@aBMWEnthusiast]

CookingByLaptop, yes, and the Chevrolet Spark is the poor mans Mercedes.

[@hugobenitez114]

Vitamix is the best!!!🤷🏻‍♂️

[@zimm2295]

I have the ninja (the combo pack one). We've had it 4 or 5 years, and I can tell it's starting to burn out cuz it's started having issues lately :( When it was newer, it made super yummy cashew cream sauces though, as long as you scraped down the sides frequently ^_^

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Exactly, we found the ninja just needed a few more stop and scraps but it did pretty well. Glad to hear the length of life prediction is what we thought. I've had my Vitamix for about 3 years now and it is showing no signs of slowing down haha, still like brand new.

[@sawmaster6095]

I had a Ninja, it made it 3 years before it crapped out. Very time consuming to repair, and never worked as well as my Vitamix 5200, which I've had for decades and is good as new. The Ninja may be cheaper for the initial purchase, but the Vitamix will absolutely save you money in the long run as well as keep more waste out of our landfills.

[@min1549]

how many watts does this vitamix have?

[@monicaharmonica7152]

Yay! I’m so glad someone made this video!!

[@TwoMarketGirls]

There are a few other ones around KZbin, I believe as well. Hope it was helpful in any way!

[@mandijo9081]

Great review! The problem is the structure. I have a nutribullet and it has finally gone out from my super frequent use of being newly vegan(6 months). It's the plastic on plastic. Vitamix is metal on metal. I'm going with the Vitamix. Thanks guys!

[@TwoMarketGirls]

You're welcome!

[@jenwylie4093]

I bought an Oster 1200 watt blender. I spent around $100. I'm happy with the price tag and the performance. I know that a Vitamix is probably a lot better, but like the Ninja, it does the job, it just takes a few seconds longer.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Agreed! The perfect blender for someone who doesn't want to spend that much money or have the space for a bigger one.

[@jilleenmacpherson6945]

You should have made a vegan nutella! but the peanut butter looks amazing. Thanks for the comparison this was great!!

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Haha a vegan nutella would have been great. We will definitely add to the list of recipes to test. So happy you found it useful.

[@drawnhere]

Try blending carrots in your smoothie and you'll find that the Vitamix is much better, because Ninja does not blend carrots.

[@Mediaworkscpv]

Just got my Ninja and it's perfect, single size is just awsome

[@TwoMarketGirls]

That's great to hear!

[@debkatzz]

I have the personal vitamix which is great for one person and it's great for smaller quantities. Wouldn't be without it.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

It's on the list to get as well. Need a smaller container for when I am doing smaller quantities, which I usually am.

[@wendyfields7803]

When I make a smoothie in the large blender (Ninja) it does leave chunks. However, when I use the single serve cup the blend is very smooth. For the amount I'm saving, I will use a two step process when I make a large batch. I store the the larger batch and re-blend in the single serve. Delicious. Go Ninja,

[@daniellejordan8597]

Great video - Which is louder?

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Thanks. Honestly we think they are pretty similar in sound which is pretty loud, not a big noticeable difference between the two.

[@charlenawright568]

Did you try making cashew cream or ricotta in them?

[@TwoMarketGirls]

We haven't yet, but that is a good idea! We have done a vegan queso cheese sauce that uses cashews and both did it well!

[@elle.blanchard]

I just bought a Vitamix and I have a bunch of info! As of today, November 15, 2017 Brand new Vitamix has a 7 year Warranty. Reconditioned 5300 has a 5 year warranty. Every now and then (for special occasions) their website offers 90$ CAD off this reconditioned 5300 model. The 5300 is a model made for Costco and a couple other big chains, but is not sold in any other store. In Montreal it retails at 499.99$ CAD at Costco. And from what I've seen last month, the model equivalent to it would be the 7500 and this one is 640$ CAD on the Vitamix Website. I've seen a video from Life Is NOYOKE testing the Ninja and Vitamix side by side doing a Green smoothie, and with the same blending time, the Ninja's tasted like salad and the Vitamix' tasted like candy (their words). This is one of the reasons why I went with Vitamix, but I was indeed very tempted by the food processor attachment of the Ninja.

[@chubbyvegangirl5419]

I was going to say, I was just on Vitamix's website and it said 7/5 yr warranty. I will probably by mine from Costco this month. I am SOOOOO stoked!

[@elle.blanchard]

Denise Jenkins the reconditioned 5300 fro the website cost me 413$ CAD tax and shipping included, which is even cheaper the the shelf price from Costco! Check on the Vitamix website if they have the 90$ CAD off offer still available it'll save you lots!

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Thanks for all the awesome info! Ninja is an awesome starter blender, but for more serious blending requirements the Vitamix is awesome! Love mine.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

You'll love the Vitamix! It's amazing!

[@cynnguyen13]

I think it comes down to us deciding what results we want as the CONSUMER. If you’ve got a sweet tooth for ice cream and can’t find dairy-free ice cream where you live, then a Vitamix is a good investment to make vegan ice cream for the extreme creamy finish at cold temperature. You push the button and presto. For the Ninja, I think (since I have neither but I’m still searching for reviews) that it’s better if you love to be experimental and want to have full control. I also think that both are similar products with different target population priorities. Of course any company aims to appeal to everyone as much as possible but I think their base target populations are different. It comes down to us figuring out what we want. I used to have a magic bullet. It worked alright, but it would always need to go on its break because it would overheat easily and would automatically stop until it cooled down, then I could continue working. A bit of a challenge but a lesson was extracted. I think we should worry less about if it’s worth the investment or not because if the product doesn’t work too well for us, there’s always secondhand selling so why not. Thank you ladies for the reviews and displaying the results you’ve had from both products! It has helped me!

[@TwoMarketGirls]

These are some excellent points! A very smart way to look at this kind of purchase. Glad we could help!

[@Karoger1987]

Ninja is a real time waster. I have one with the regular pitcher, food processor attachment and smoothie cup attachments. I bought the ninja set for nearly $200 (bought it at BJs wholesale). I wanna say I've had it for 5 or 6 years? The best part about it is the smoothie attachment. Because using the big pitcher or food processor is just a hassle. Scraping the sides down constantly or adding more liquid than I would prefer....then having to transfer to the smoothie attachment in separate batches. Just save up your money at get a refurbished Vitamix. I finally ordered one last night and I'm super excited to receive it!

[@elliemurphy5505]

If me and my friend made this video, we would argue with each other about which one is better and we would get all defensive

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Haha we have our fair share of defensive arguing, especially when we talk about cake vs pie...

[@latoyajackson786]

@Two Market Girls..i used my Ninja to make salsa..the best way to go is to pulse the bigger parts first for a smoother smoothie and/or salsa..i made a smoothie with mangos bananas and pears.i used almond milk for my liquid..i pulsed it first then proceeded to blend..it wasnt as grainy or grittu as usual..the vitamix is my next blender investment! For now i think my ninja will work fine

[@rayradiance666]

I have a Ninja blender and it works great!

[@TwoMarketGirls]

It's definitely a great product!

[@destineyrodgers1733]

Omg SAAAAAAME 😭😭😭😭

[@leslieslass]

New subscriber & I love your video, lassies.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the TMG fam.

[@ajbluez]

My Ninja has a lifetime warranty. I got the combo with all the attachments and different cup sizes. I’m really happy with it. 😁

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Glad to hear you are happy with it! We definitely like it as well.

[@RymVri108]

My Ninja just exploded all over me. The side cracked and blew out. It also started making horrible grinding noises- far worse than normal blender noise- about a month after getting it, like there was a nut floating around in the gears or something.

[@flowerdoodle2438]

Your testing is flawed with her using pitcher and you using bullet style cup.

[@videotapeses]

I lol'd when yall drank the kale juice

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Haha that was not a fun time...

[@irreconcilable1913]

Spot on for everyone concern I have as a vegan

[@matabdhillon3597]

There both good blenders

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Agreed!!

[@sarasan9290]

I also love my ninja!🥰🥰

[@shannonlazzarotto5533]

You two are hilarious! Highly entertaining 😂

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Haha thank you :D

[@dd366xx6]

Have a Ninja Chef great blender but longevity is key. You can't beat that 10 year warranty which includes wear and tear from regular use, that comes with the Vitamix.💪

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Definitely amazing to have the warranty - both have such great strengths.

[@Edddy...]

😙

[@roxanneholt-abernathy3698]

I have both Nija and Vitamix. No contest, Vitamix is way better.

[@Dhjam11]

For a better comparison watch blending with henry kzbin.info/www/bejne/gojFZWRpZZ6Dq6s

[@HiddenAgendas]

NINJA basically lost in every aspect. I have one and yes, it doesn't blend well at all. Tons of chunks sticks to the side of the jar.

[@PorcelainLeigh]

Some things are worth the spend. Vitamix would be one of those. A 10 year warranty speaks for itself.

[@kalijasin]

Two crazy girls. :D

[@leslieslass]

I have a vitamix & a Ninja, & the vitamix needs it's paddle to do a lot of things. The Ninja doesn't , so to me the Ninja is a lot better for a LOT of things.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

We love both machines.

[@KungPowShrimp]

Why are you comparing a Lamborghini and a Prius?

[@quaiahconner5902]

Fulton Sheen 😂😂😂

[@angelahill7040]

Are you serious right now? The ninja isn't even in the same category.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

As we mentioned, we think the Ninja is a great starter blender for those who didn't know how much they will use their blender and what for or for people not looking to spend a lot of money. Based on the simple tests we put it through, the Ninja worked fine. However for those with more serious blender needs we think the Vitamix is a great investment. This is simply our opinion on the two blenders.

[@stillphil6645]

SHE IN THE BLACK IS SO COOL N REAL BUT YOUR ARE REAL

[@twinturbo3461]

They're all made in the same sweatshops in China, just go for the cheaper one lol.

[@dudea3378]

Vitamix is assembled in USA.

[@javiermarino8124]

really ???

[@AbdurahmanKhalil]

Crap 🤣

[@fritzgolden6237]

Vitamix is made in USA. I am a person who pays extra to support American made. Cheapskates will destroy us.

[@jorats]

Vitamix all the way! I did try a Ninja... no. just no.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

Haha, totally understand that. The Ninja just doesn't work for what some people need it for. I know I think the Vitamix is worth the investment.

[@angelahill7040]

Joanne Bouchard I tried the ninja as well. A gift from my daughter a year ago. We decided to keep it at her house when I left to care for my mom. Not only does it not produce the same quality, it's extremely loud. The ninja broke a couple of months ago. Like I said, it's not even on the same level as a vita mix

[@jorats]

Yeah. I had bought my mom the Ninja and she almost gave up on vegan cooking. Then I bought her the vitamix. There's no stopping her now. lol So much better. I could never recommend a Ninja.

[@matabdhillon3597]

Joanne Bouchard ninja not that far behind from Vitamix.

[@JieDoyle]

I guess it's true... I've seen the memes but thought it was flack.. but, "vegans" really really want you to know that they are a "vegan"!

[@nateriver2166]

Can say the same about meat eaters. :p

[@rksu747]

This is such a terrible review. You guys want to be youtubers? Then stop trying so hard to be diplomatic and do better tests. The ninja literally has nothing on the vitamix in any way. This review has away and not in a good way.

[@dustinlines2181]

Someone overspent on a Vitamix!Hey I heard you can blend salt in the Vitamix.Nevermind you dont need salt you already salty..

[@BoucherYe]

Fat vegan?

[@nitarrh]

That's a very unnecessary comment and RUDE

[@chubbyvegangirl5419]

I used my cousin's Ninja when I was staying with her last year and found that it took a lonnnnng time to actually make hummus, and it always left chickpeas unblended. I had been thinking about buying, but decided against it because of that. Have you tried using your Vitamix for hummus? I will admit that I am a born Vitamix girl, literally! My mom had a Vitamix 40 years ago back when before the tamper, and before it was fashionable to have a $400 blender in your home. I actually *still* have her over Vitamix and it works, but it isn't nearly as good, and overheats now, probably due to age. I would have loved to see y'all do the "strain test" for all the liquids you made. Thank you for this video though. I have two cheap blenders, and ironically, my $30 Walmart Special works better on sauces than the Kitchen Aid my cousin gave me as a hand me down when she got her Ninja. She loves her Ninja BTW, and swears by it. After using it for 6 months, I am not sold, and will for sure be getting a Vitamix.

[@TwoMarketGirls]

We like both, but think the Vitamix will last longer and is definitely worth the investment. Haven't tried hummus, but will give it a go. I can't imagine it not working. The Vitamix is amazing, haha.
