Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Only one whitelisted tester—Tom's Guide—hands-on reviewed this exact BN701 (its deal blocks explicitly list it as the 'Ninja BN701 Professional Plus Blender'). It rates smoothies, oat-milk milling and ice-crushing near premium Vitamix/Breville levels at under-$100 value, but flags punishing loudness (measured 94.9 dB), cheap-feeling materials and a fiddly stacked-blade assembly that is tricky to clean. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Smoothies surpassed nearly all blenders tested, bettered only by Vitamix A3500 and Breville 3x Bluicer; Strong milling and ice-crushing power for the price (smooth oat milk, no chunks); Huge value under $100, with secure locking lid, pour spout and grippy handle.
Flagged: Painfully loud, especially in ice-crush mode (measured 94.9 dB); Feels built from lower-quality materials; Stacked blade assembly is fiddly and tricky to clean.
Three whitelisted hands-on testers — Tom's Guide, TechRadar and Digital Trends — rate the Breville Super Q a top-tier blender: powerful, versatile, easy to use and clean, but pricey and bulky. Tom's Guide named it its best overall blender. (3 sourced reviews, 3 lab-tested.)
Praised: Powerful, capable high-speed blending across smoothies, ice, nut milks and soups; Intuitive controls and easy to clean; Runs relatively quietly for a commercial-grade blender.
Flagged: Expensive premium price (around $500+, plus optional Vac Q pump); Large, bulky and heavy footprint (18 in tall, may not fit under cabinets); Blades sit too high to blend very small quantities.
