Ninja Professional Blender 1000 vs Hamilton Beach Smoothie Blender

The Ninja Professional Blender 1000 is better than the Hamilton Beach Smoothie Blender for making frozen drinks, but the Hamilton Beach is more suitable for soups. The Ninja has a larger pitcher and can easily crush enough ice for several servings of frozen cocktails or slushies, while the Hamilton Beach can't process even small amounts of ice evenly. The Ninja also has a sturdier build, making it feel more durable. However, the Hamilton Beach supports hot blending, so you can puree cooked ingredients without waiting for them to cool. It also does a better job of breaking down fibrous vegetables.
