6 Best Ninja Extractor Blenders of 2026

This all-in-one powerhouse redefines what a countertop blender can do. With a 1400-peak-watt motor and SmartTorque Technology, the Ninja SS351 powers through dense ingredients like frozen kale, whole apples, and nut mixes without stalling—no shaking or stirring required. Its 6 Auto-iQ programs eliminate guesswork for smoothies, extractions, dough, and spreads, making it ideal for users who want restaurant-quality results at home without the cleanup of multiple appliances. Whether you’re whipping up a thick almond butter or kneading pizza dough in seconds, this system delivers professional-grade performance with home-kitchen convenience.

In real-world testing, the 72-oz. pitcher handled large smoothie batches and chunky salsas with ease, while the Nutrient Extraction Cup produced silky-smooth green juices with minimal pulp—thanks to its optimized blade pattern and pulse sequence. The Smoothie Bowl Maker attachment shines when blending ultra-thick mixtures, using a built-in tamper to push ingredients down without stopping. However, the dough function, while fast, can struggle slightly with very sticky gluten-free blends, requiring an extra pulse or two. Still, its variable speed control gives precise texture management, something rarely seen in blenders at this tier.

Compared to the more basic BN751, the SS351 offers greater versatility with food processing capabilities, though it lacks slicing or shredding discs found in the SS401. It’s best suited for health-focused families or meal-preppers who want a multi-functional system that replaces a blender, food processor, and dough mixer. While not as compact as personal blenders, its performance-to-function ratio dominates the mid-tier market—offering more utility than the BL642 at a similar price point.

The Ninja BN751 is a no-frills blending beast built for families and smoothie fanatics who need volume and consistency. With 1400 peak watts and Total Crushing Blades, it pulverizes ice and fibrous greens into creamy frozen drinks in under 45 seconds—no pre-chopping needed. Its 3 Auto-iQ programs (smoothies, frozen drinks, nutrient extractions) are perfectly tuned for daily use, taking the guesswork out of achieving bar-quality textures. If you’re tired of chunky smoothies or under-blended protein shakes, this model delivers reliable, high-volume blending with minimal effort.

During testing, the 72-oz. pitcher proved ideal for meal prep, easily serving 3–4 people in one blend. The dual 24-oz. to-go cups are a standout, fitting most car cup holders and blending directly on the base—perfect for quick breakfasts or post-workout shakes. Ice crushed to snow, frozen mango turned silky, and spinach disappeared without leafy chunks. However, the lack of variable speed or food processing functions limits its use for more advanced prep, like sauces or nut butters, where precision matters. It’s also slightly louder than competitors during peak operation.

Positioned between the entry-level BL642 and the high-end SS401, the BN751 strikes a balance between power and simplicity. It’s not as versatile as the SS351, but it outperforms older Ninja models like the BL621 in motor strength and ice-crushing efficiency. Ideal for households prioritizing large batches and on-the-go convenience, it delivers consistent performance without unnecessary extras—making it a smarter pick than the SS151 for families needing volume over portability.

Meet the undisputed champion of kitchen versatility—the Ninja SS401 combines 1600-peak-watt power with a full food processing ecosystem, making it the most feature-packed blender in Ninja’s lineup. Thanks to SmartTorque Technology, it never stalls, even when grinding whole coconuts or kneading dense bread dough. The 7 Auto-iQ programs cover everything from smoothies to shredding cheese, while the reversible slicing/shredding disc and grating disc open up true food prep flexibility. For users who hate clutter, this is a true all-in-one solution that replaces blenders, food processors, and even some stand mixer tasks.

Real-world testing confirmed its dominance: the Hybrid Edge Blades delivered smoother extractions than the BN751, and the XL Smoothie Bowl Maker with built-in tamper handled frozen banana blends effortlessly. The feed chute and processing lid allowed for continuous slicing of vegetables—perfect for coleslaw or stir-fries—without stopping. However, the learning curve is steeper due to the number of attachments, and the base is bulkier than most. Cleaning is still easy (all parts are dishwasher safe), but organizing the accessories requires cabinet space.

When compared to the SS351, the SS401 offers superior processing capabilities and more power, though both share similar pitcher sizes and extraction cups. It outclasses the BL642 in every technical category and justifies its premium tag with professional-grade performance. Best for serious home cooks or health enthusiasts who want one appliance to do it all, it delivers more functionality than the SS151 while blending faster and more thoroughly than any other model in the lineup.

The Ninja BL642 is a value-packed workhorse that punches above its weight in blending performance and convenience. With a 1200-watt motor and Pro Extractor Blades, it breaks down whole fruits, seeds, and ice into nutrient-rich smoothies with minimal residue—delivering bar-quality texture at home. Its standout feature? The three to-go cup sizes (18, 24, and 32 oz.), giving unmatched flexibility for kids, adults, or post-gym refueling. Whether you’re making a single-serve shake or a family-sized pitcher, this blender adapts seamlessly, all while maintaining smooth, pulp-free results.

In daily use, the 72-oz. Total Crushing Pitcher handled large batches of green smoothies and protein shakes without overheating, and the Auto-iQ programs ensured consistent textures with zero guesswork. The 32-oz. cup is a game-changer for athletes or big eaters, offering more capacity than most personal blenders. However, the motor is slightly less powerful than the 1400W+ models, so it can struggle with very thick nut butters or frozen acai without pausing. Still, for everyday blending, it’s reliable, fast, and incredibly user-friendly.

Priced aggressively, the BL642 beats the SS100 and SS151 in versatility and included accessories, while the 75-recipe guide adds real value for beginners. It’s not as powerful as the SS401, but it offers better value than the BN751 with more cup options and a larger recipe library. Ideal for budget-conscious families or smoothie lovers who want maximum utility without overspending, it delivers more bang for the buck than any other Ninja model.

Don’t let the renewed label fool you—the Ninja SS101 is a smoothie bowl specialist that delivers spoon-thick textures with zero effort. With a 1200-peak-watt motor and smartTORQUE, it powers through frozen fruit, spinach, and chia seeds without stalling, while the 14-oz. Smoothie Bowl Maker cup with built-in tamper ensures even blending—no scraping required. The 24-oz. Nutrient Extraction Cup produces silky green juices, making this a 2-in-1 powerhouse for health-focused users who want both thick bowls and drinkable smoothies from one base.

In practice, the Auto-iQ programs made prep effortless: one touch for smoothies, another for extractions, and the bowl setting delivered ice-cream-like consistency with minimal liquid. The compact design fits easily on small countertops, and the included storage lids make fridge storage simple. However, the small pitcher capacity limits family use, and the renewed unit may lack original packaging or have minor cosmetic flaws. It also lacks variable speed, so texture control is limited to preset programs.

Compared to the SS151, the SS101 offers better bowl-making precision, but fewer functions and no drizzle cap. It’s not as powerful as the SS401, but for individuals or couples focused on bowls and single-serve nutrition, it’s a compact, efficient solution. While the BL642 offers more volume, the SS101 excels in texture and convenience for personal use, making it a smart budget pick for smoothie bowl lovers.

The Ninja SS151 TWISTi brings high-end power to a budget-friendly price, thanks to its 1600-peak-watt motor and innovative Twist Tamper. This isn’t just a blender—it’s a texture master, letting you twist the tamper mid-blend to push ingredients down for uniformly thick smoothies, nut butters, and spreads without stopping. The Auto-iQ programs handle extractions, smoothies, and frozen drinks with precision, while the removable drizzle cap lets you add oils or honey while blending—perfect for dressings or energy balls.

Testing revealed exceptional performance for its size: the 34-oz. pitcher handled small family batches, and the 18-oz. Nutrient Extraction Cup made single-serve green juices in seconds. The Hybrid-Edge Blades crushed ice and seeds with ease, rivaling more expensive models. However, the pitcher lacks measurement markings, making recipe precision tricky, and the short 2.6-ft cord limits placement options. It’s also not ideal for large families due to smaller capacity.

Stacked against the BN751, the SS151 offers more power and better texture control, though less volume. Compared to the SS101, it adds variable functions and a drizzle cap, making it more versatile. Best for small households or budget shoppers who want high power and smart features without overspending, it delivers more functionality than the SS100 while blending smoother than many pricier models.
