What you give up

- Its large blade stack and many attachments create a busy washing and storage routine.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
A supplied processor bowl for chopping and dough
Choose Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System. BN801 supplies the processor bowl and relevant programs.
Direct blending in two personal cups
Choose Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System. Those cups are included with BN801.
Minimal attachment storage
Choose Ninja Professional Plus Blender. BN701 has the narrower equipment package.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
The motor label is not the upgrade
Both list 1400 peak watts and a 72-ounce main pitcher. BN801 expands what you can attach to the base rather than promising a higher motor rating.
Processing needs determine the useful bundle
BN801 supplies a 64-ounce processor bowl with chopping and dough programs. Those parts make sense when meal preparation is frequent. A drink-only household could leave them unused in a cupboard.
Count cleanup pieces before buying the system
BN801’s two 24-ounce cups offer direct personal drinks, but the processor bowl, lids and tools also need storage. BN701 concentrates the routine around one pitcher and removable blade assembly.
