Ninja QB3001SS Fit vs NutriBullet 900-Watt Pro Side-by-Side Comparison

Ninja QB3001SS Fit vs NutriBullet 900-Watt Pro: Which Better Fulfills the Promise of Its Efficiency

Overall Verdict

Both the NutriBullet 900 Pro and the Ninja QB3001SS Fit are high-performance personal blenders that surprisingly passed all of our tests with perfect results. Nevertheless, the NutriBullet’s end products seem to be slightly smoother, from the protein shake to the extraction of leafy greens. Its higher-powered motor delivered faster blending processes as well.

Since the NutriBullet is pricier, it is perceived as more luxurious and modern, but personally, we preferred to use the Ninja QB3001SS Fit due to its attractiveness and portability. The smaller size also makes it more convenient when  storing it. 

Overall, choosing between the NutriBullet 900 Pro and the Ninja QB3001SS Fit is more about your budget than any other factor. If you can afford the extra $50, the NutriBullet 900 Pro is the better one to buy, given its well-rounded profile. 

If not, the Ninja QB3001SS Fit is still a good option. Just prepare  yourself that sometimes it requires a few shakes to ensure that everything is processed smoothly.
