Our Verdict

Ninja Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ

Magic Bullet Kitchen Express

The Ninja Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ is a more versatile personal blender than the Magic Bullet Kitchen Express. The Ninja is better built and comes with more speed options and a timer. It's easier to clean and can crush ice, unlike the Magic Bullet. That said, the Magic Bullet comes with a food processing attachment for slicing and grating.
