Ninja BL660 Professional Compact Smoothie & Food Processing Blender, 1100-Watts, 3 Functions vs Ninja BN701 Professional Plus Blender, 1400 Peak Watts, 72-oz Pitcher, Dark Grey

Editorial Verdict

The Ninja BN701 Professional Plus Blender edges out as the overall winner despite being only $10 more at $109.99 versus $99.99. Its 1400 peak watts versus 1100 watts delivers meaningfully more power, and the 3 Auto-iQ preset programs for smoothies, frozen drinks, and ice cream add convenient automation that the BL660 lacks. However, shoppers who need personal single-serve cups and food processing versatility may still prefer the BL660, as the BN701 foregoes those features in favor of raw blending performance.
