Ninja Professional Plus BN701

Why it scored a 77
At $109.99, the Ninja Professional Plus BN701 is the perennial best-selling countertop blender on Amazon, and it scores accordingly: Value at 92, Reliability at 93, Satisfaction at 94 on 19,500 ratings at 4.7 stars. The stacked six-blade tower turns ice into snow in seconds, and the three Auto-iQ presets make it hard to misuse. Quality lands at 58 because the trade-offs are real: it is very loud, the stacked blade is awkward to hand-wash, purees are less silky than a Vitamix, and the one-year warranty holds that component at 55. It suits anyone who wants frozen drinks and smoothies for around a hundred dollars.
