How to choose
Match jar size to your batches
Jar size runs from 20 oz on the nutribullet to 48 oz on the Vitamix and Waring, with the Ninja at 34 oz and the Oster at 6 cup. A larger jar means fewer refills when you blend for several people at once. Pick the jar that covers your usual batch without constant refilling.
Compare speeds and preset programs
Speeds run from 1 on the nutribullet to 7 on the Oster, with the Waring at 2 speeds and the Ninja at 5 speeds. Preset programs differ too: the Oster has 3 pre-programmed settings and the Ninja has 5 preset programs. Speeds give manual control, while preset programs run a set routine at the touch of a button.
Check cleaning and charging
The Waring jar pad lifts off for easy cleanup, and the nutribullet cleans with dish soap and water blended for one cycle. The nutribullet is cordless and charges by USB-C, while the Oster is a countertop model with a cord and the Ninja runs on corded electric power.
