Our Verdict

Ninja DUO

Blendtec Chef 600

The Ninja DUO and the Blendtec Chef 600 have different strengths, and you may prefer either, depending on your usage. The Ninja has a significantly better build quality and comes with a pair of 20-ounce personal jars and matching lids that you can use to make single-serve drinks to go. However, the Blendtec Chef 600 is much easier to clean by hand and is safe to use for hot blending, so it's much better for recipes like soups and sauces.
