Ninja Pro 1000 vs Vitamix.
Posted on 12/12/17 at 3:03 pm

I’ve been blending up a green drink every few days: Kale, Apple, Ginger, Maca Powder, Coconut Water, Apple Cider Vinegar and Blueberries.
I started with an old bullet style Ninja, but it isn’t powerful enough to fully blend everything to a smooth texture.
I was considering a Vitamix (refurbished are $299) but I was at Costco on Sunday and they had a Ninja Pro 1000 for $70.
I figured I would try it out. If it sucked, bring it back and get a Vitamix in the future. It did a nice job of blending everything to a smooth consistency in my first usage so it looks like I’m sticking with this one.
If anyone is looking for an alternative to a Vitamix that won’t break the bank, try the Ninja Pro 1000.

I have had 3 ninjas. Bought a vitamix a few months ago. It’s 110% worth it. You can blend anything and it will come out smooth. Easily my favorite kitchen device and I use it every day, sometimes multiple times.

Vitamix is the last blender you will ever buy. It will last forever and you will be so happy with it!! I bought mine over 6 years ago and it was worth it! I have a friend who has had one 20+ years.

My ninja went to the curb the first time I tried a Vitamix.

Ninja is not even close to the same level as vitmaix/blendtec

That's the model I have and use it every day. It's well worth the money. Costco has the best deal too. There is no comparison with any Ninja.

I just bought a Keurig. Love it.

Same here. The Ninja 1000 does exactly what I want and didn’t cost $300+.
Those who have Vitamix blenders will, of course, say, they are awesome and better than anything out there, because, well, they paid $300+.

My ninja was $60 as well and does great
For $500 that shite better blend anything I want.

Those who have a ninja,of course, say, they are awesome because they can’t afford a Vitamix

I can afford it, but if one does a good job compared to the other, why spend the extra money?

I tried smoothies with my ninja before buying a Vitamix. It was garbage. Now this was a few years back, so the newer ninjas may be better. I would have to strain smoothies from the ninja to get the small solids out. 100% liquid out of the vitamix, no matter what you put in.

I had a small ninja bullet that I blended smoothies for a while, and it mixed everything well without any small unblended chunks.
When I started blending a green drink recently with fresh kale, it had issues, but this 1000 model blends it completely.
Like I said in the OP, I bought the Ninja 1000 to try out. If it sucked, I would have returned it and bought a Vitamix, but it worked very well so I kept it.

It’s all preference. I hate having a chunky smoothie, and the ninjas I had sucked, but they weren’t high end ninjas.
I bought the vitamix because I didn’t want to keep buying blenders. In my opinion, it was worth the money. Other people may disagree. Vitamix is a freaking beast though, but like the other comments, for $500 it better turn a crowbar into powder lol

Same here, got a ninja, use it every day for smoothies and cannot imagine I would need anything more.

I got my vitamix ascent yesterday! It is legit awesome. Way better than the ninja I had. Texture is way better. Got it for 320 and it has a 10 year warranty.

I’ve got a Nutribullet handmedown. It has literally never not done anything I’ve asked it to. And I throw all kinds of stuff in there.
