Where the two actually differ on the specs we track (4 of 7). Matching specs are omitted.
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.
Both whitelisted testers (Tom's Guide, TechRadar) hands-on reviewed this exact model (Nutribullet Pro 900 / 900W). Both rate it highly, with Tom's Guide awarding Editor's Choice and TechRadar 'Recommended', praising fast silky-smooth blending, compact size, low price, and easy dishwasher cleanup. Both flag the small capacity; single-speed/no-pulse operation and the inability to make hot soups or safely blend dry ingredients each draw criticism from one source. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)
Praised: Fast, silky-smooth blending, even on frozen fruit and ice; Compact footprint, easy to store in small kitchens; Excellent value for a low price.
Flagged: Small capacity, not suited to large batches or 4+ people; Thick mixtures stick to the sides and need a mid-blend shake; Only one speed and no pulse setting.
