Blending Power
The BlendJet 2 runs a 5V motor with offset blades — BlendJet calls it TurboJet — which pulls ingredients into the blades more efficiently than a centered design. Soft fruits, leafy greens, protein powders, and liquids are no problem. Ice is not in its range and the brand does not claim otherwise.
The Ninja Blast runs a 70W motor with a stainless BlastBlade Assembly built around frozen ingredients. That extra power is the clearest difference between the two. It handles ice and frozen fruit without hesitation, and customer reviews consistently back that up.
The BLENDi PRO+ publishes 120W at 17,000 RPM — the highest documented figures in this comparison. Ice crushing comes with an actual guarantee. On motor output: PRO+ first, Ninja Blast second, BlendJet 2 third.
Battery Life
All three charge via USB-C. No proprietary cables.
The BlendJet 2 has a 4,000 mAh battery that BlendJet says delivers 15 or more blends per charge, reaching full in about an hour. They publish that number clearly.
The Ninja Blast does not publish a cycle count. Based on customer reviews, most people get between 12 and 15 blends per charge depending on what they are blending. The BLENDi PRO+ also delivers 15 or more blends per charge. For anyone who blends once a day, all three last a full week on a single charge.
Portability
The BlendJet 2 is the lightest at 1.34 lbs. At 9 inches tall it fits a cup holder. You blend and drink from the same jar. A Lock Mode keeps it from running in a bag.
The Ninja Blast weighs 2 lbs and adds a hinged carry handle and a sip lid. One-handed drinking is easier and the 18 oz capacity gives more per blend. The extra weight is the tradeoff.
On airport travel, neither BlendJet nor Ninja explicitly carries a TSA-approved designation. Both batteries fall within FAA carry-on limits, but individual TSA screening varies. The BLENDi PRO+ is the only blender here with a documented TSA-approved designation.
Cleaning
The BlendJet 2 is not dishwasher safe. Add water, a drop of soap, blend for 20 seconds, rinse. It works for simple smoothies. Dense blends need a proper hand wash.
The Ninja Blast lid and vessel go into the dishwasher. The BLENDi PRO+ is also dishwasher safe. For anyone making this part of a daily routine, that difference matters.
Price And Value
The BlendJet 2 at $49.99 is the most accessible option. You get 30+ color choices, a solid battery, and light weight. Ice crushing and dishwasher-safe parts are not included.
The Ninja Blast and BLENDi PRO+ are both $59.99. At the same price, the PRO+ delivers more motor power (120W vs 70W), a guaranteed ice crushing rating, TSA approval, and a travel bottle conversion kit. The Ninja Blast delivers a carry handle, a sip lid, and 18 oz capacity. The deciding factors are what matters more to you: form factor and lid design, or raw motor output and features.
Design And Colors
The BlendJet 2 comes in more than 30 colors and patterns including seasonal and limited-edition options. Nothing else in this category comes close on personalization.
The Ninja Blast comes in fewer options but is built to feel like a tool — the carry handle and sip lid prioritize function. The BLENDi PRO+ comes in 11 colors. For most buyers performance matters more, but it is worth knowing where the BlendJet 2 leads clearly.
