What matters in practice
The differences that matter
A shared bowl does not require the larger system
Both packages provide the same nominal 14-ounce tamper bowl.
How we reached this conclusion
The large SS351 kit does not enlarge this specific attachment.
One kit adds batch capacity, the other adds a spare cup
The choice is between a large pitcher and a second personal vessel.
How we reached this conclusion
SS351 includes one 24-ounce cup plus pitcher. SS101 includes two 24-ounce cups and no pitcher.
Dough needs the correct package
SS351's supplied dough blade creates a role that SS101's cup system does not cover.
How we reached this conclusion
Only SS351 lists a dough blade and dough program.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Ninja Foodi Power Blender and Processor System | Ninja Foodi Smoothie Bowl Maker and Personal Blender | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Family pitcher | 72 oz nominal, 64 oz liquid maximum | Not included | Only SS351 can combine several drinks in one large vessel. |
| Personal cups | One 24 oz cup | Two 24 oz cups | SS101 supplies a second cup for alternating or shared routines. |
| Tamper bowl | 14 oz | 14 oz | Neither has an advantage in nominal thick-bowl size. |
| Food-prep control | Variable pitcher speeds and dough blade | Start/Stop and Pulse, no dough attachment | SS351 covers additional pitcher-based preparation. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Ninja Foodi Power Blender and Processor System
- Its large pitcher offers little benefit if every recipe is one serving.
If you choose Ninja Foodi Smoothie Bowl Maker and Personal Blender
- Manual variable-speed pitcher control is unavailable.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
The family starts sharing one breakfast blend
Choose Ninja Foodi Power Blender and Processor System. A large pitcher becomes useful and avoids separate personal runs.
You stop using pitchers and want fewer large attachments
Choose Ninja Foodi Smoothie Bowl Maker and Personal Blender. SS101 retains the small tamper bowl while removing pitcher hardware.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
Count how many people share one blend
A large pitcher helps when several people want the same cold drink. SS351 can consolidate that batch up to its liquid limit. If everyone blends separately, its largest attachment may mostly occupy a cupboard.
The bowl-maker feature is shared
Both systems include a 14-ounce bowl with a hand-turned tamper. Choosing SS101 does not give up that vessel size. The deciding difference is what you need around it, particularly the second travel cup or the larger pitcher.
Keep food prep within the supplied equipment
SS351's dough blade and pitcher control suit extra kitchen tasks. SS101 is a personal blending set, so it should not be selected as a stand-in for a dough-capable processor. Neither system accepts hot ingredients.
What this comparison cannot tell you
