Our Verdict

KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender

Ninja Foodi Power Mixer System

The Ninja Foodi Power Mixer System is better for most purposes than the KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender. It's sturdier and easier to clean and makes a smoother puree of fibrous ingredients. It converts into a hand mixer and comes with a whisk. On the other hand, the KitchenAid comes with an additional blade that you can use for ice crushing and comes with a food processing bowl. It's also quieter.
