Ninja vs. Vitamix

Hi OH friends! Just thought I would reach out for some opinions/recommendations on which of these two blenders you prefer. What are your experiences? Pros? Cons? Etc.

My parents just bought a Vitamix...IT IS AWESOME!! I just don't know that I would even need something that advanced for just protein drinks and soups though. Good thing is, I can get it at wholesale pricing. The Ninja would do what I need at a better price, just not as cool.

Hmmm...decisions decisions! Thanks for any suggestions you might have :)

Personally, I love my ninja. I just know I would not use the vitamix.. And the thing is HUGE!!! I know I wouldnt use it because I wouldnt want to clean up such a huge machine (I know, Im lazy). I just recently bought one of the new ninjas (1100) and its way bigger than my old one, its taking some getting used to. I mean, if you think you will use it and you can get it at wholesale price, go for it..

I was given a Magic Bullet for Christmas and Im looking forward to using it for my soups and shakes at work (well at home too lol). I have seen the infomercials for it and always wanted one because they make it look like so much fun to play with.

Hmmm.. I would be interested to know the wholesale price. I have been looking but just have not bought the vitamix due to the price.

I currently use a magic bullet but question how long it is going to last. I will say it does pretty well making a smoothie of frozen fruit, yogurt and milk but it smells like it is about to go capoot any day.

I cant justify the purchase of a Vitamix but I love my ninja! when I was early out I would make and eat snow. Now I make decaf ice capps, and soup from frozen veggies.

I am VERY basic in the kitchen so my list of fancy items is virtually non-existant.  I have a ninja and I absolutely love it.  I also could not justify buying a vitamix.

Eventually I will get around to buying a Vitamix.  I have the Ninja. It is fine for very simple things like protein drinks. Getting the top on is cumbersome.  I'm not that impressed.  As for cleaning any blender, add soap and a little ho****er, then blend.

My friends with a Vitamix have much more versatility and are extremely happy with the juicing options.  I want to use it as a way to sneak in more vegetables.  I'll probably get it eventually, but I do own a regular blender and a ninja. I tend to use the regular blender over the Ninja.
