Our Verdict

Vitamix 5200

Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher System [CO351B, SS351]

For most purposes, the Vitamix 5200 is better than the Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher System. It's better built, can hot blend, and makes a smoother puree with fibrous ingredients like kale. On the other hand, the Ninja comes with a pair of personal jars for single-serve smoothies in addition to the main jar. There's also a blade to help with forming dough and a jar specially designed for thicker recipes like smoothie bowls or nut butter.
