Editorial Verdict
The Ninja BN701 Professional Plus Blender is the overall winner for most users, delivering twice the power at 1400 peak watts versus the QB3001SS's 700 watts, along with a far more versatile 72-oz pitcher and three Auto-iQ preset programs — all for $55 more. If you regularly blend for a family or want hands-free, automated blending performance, the BN701's specs clearly justify the price premium. However, the compact QB3001SS at $54.99 remains the smarter buy for solo users who prioritize portability and on-the-go convenience with its included 16-oz spout-lid cups.
Ninja BN701 Professional Plus Blender, 1400 Peak Watts, 72-oz Pitcher, Dark Grey
Pros
- The 1400 peak watt motor with Total Crushing Blades pulverizes ice and frozen ingredients with ease for consistently smooth results.
- The large 72-oz pitcher (64-oz max liquid) is ideal for blending large batches for families or groups.
- Three Auto-iQ preset programs for smoothies, frozen drinks, and ice cream take the guesswork out of common blending tasks.
- Dishwasher-safe parts make post-blending cleanup quick and hassle-free.
Cons
- At $109.99, it sits at a mid-to-higher price point compared to basic blenders that may suffice for lighter use.
- With only 3 Auto-iQ presets, users who want more specialized blending programs may find the options limited.
- The large 72-oz pitcher may be cumbersome for individuals blending single-serve portions.
- No personal cup or single-serve attachment is included, limiting on-the-go convenience.
