Ninja Professional Blender NJ601AMZ vs CRUSHiQ CO505

The Ninja Professional Blender NJ601AMZ is a better blender overall than the Ninja CRUSHiQ CO505. Both have large pitchers and removable stacked blade assemblies that crush ice with ease, which makes them great for frozen drinks. The Professional has an easier time with thick ingredients like nut butter, so you need less effort to get a smooth consistency. It also does a slightly better job with fibrous ingredients, but neither produces particularly smooth green smoothies. The CRUSHiQ has an automatic Crush program that makes icy drinks more convenient, while the Professional relies on manual speed controls.
