Our Verdict

Ninja Blender Duo with Auto-iQ BL642

Braun TriForce Power Pro JB9041BK

The Braun TriForce Power Pro JB9041BK is better for most purposes than the Ninja Blender Duo with Auto-iQ BL642. The Braun has a better build quality and blending performance for most recipes, like processing small and big batches of fibrous ingredients and making nut butter. It can also hot blend. However, the Ninja comes with three personal jars for single-serve smoothies instead of just one.
