Our Verdict

Ninja Professional Blender 1000

Ninja UltraCrush

The Ninja Professional Blender 1000 and the Ninja UltraCrush are very similar, but the Professional Blender 1000 offers slightly better performance for most people. These blenders share the same 'Total Crushing' blade assembly with six blades. This makes them great at crushing ice but tricky to clean, since there are many tight spots to scrub around the sharp blades. The biggest advantage of the Professional Blender 1000 is its performance for thick recipes like nut butter. It's less prone to overheating than the UltraCrush, so you can blend for longer on High without having to stop to let the blender cool. This also makes it a better choice for blending fibrous ingredients like kale. On the other hand, the UltraCrush is a bit quieter, so you may prefer it if noise is your main concern.
