What reviewers say about the Ninja Professional Plus Blender with Auto-iQ (BN701)

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.

Based on 1 review · 1 lab-tested · 2024-04-29

Tested by Tom's Guide

Consistently 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

Commonly 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
  • Short 1-year limited warranty

Noise level: 94.9 dB · Ice-crush time: 20-30 sec

The Ninja Professional Plus Blender with Auto IQ makes superb smoothies, thick and creamy oat milk, and well-crushed ice.
this capable blender offers huge value for money, with next-level blending, milling and crushing power that rivalled the premium blenders we tested.
It is noisy though, and while there's nothing offensive about the design, you can feel that it's not been made with the highest quality materials.
