Our Verdict

Ninja Professional Blender 1000

Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Multi-Function

The Ninja Professional Blender 1000 is better than the Hamilton Beach Wave Crusher Multi-Function for most purposes. The Ninja is sturdier, much better for crushing ice, and easier to use for recipes like nut butter or hummus. However, the Hamilton Beach comes with a glass jar, which you might prefer. It can hot blend and make a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, which is important for well-blended soups and smoothies. However, it has a sub-par build quality.
