Are you going to make soups in the vitamix by letting the ingredients
whiz around in there for 17 minutes? Are you going to juice fruits
and veggies without peeling or coring them? Then get the Vitamix.
Both brands say they can make dough (bread or cookie), but I really
doubt that I would be satisfied with the result. I use my Ninja to
make smoothies, chopped veggies, and crushed/snow ice for drinks.
Depending on where you are buying and the deal you get, the Ninja is
$400 less than the Vitamix. I just can't think of anything else I
would want to do with it. However, I do have a food processor and a
Kitchenaid mixer. Those appliances should cover any gaps the Ninja
misses. I think the Ninja is a huge improvement over the blenders we
are used to. That stack of 6 blades makes short work of most
anything. Sorry I rambled so much.
