Head-to-head
Ninja BL770 vs BN801: BN801 enlarges personal cups, not the main pitcher or processor
The short answer
BL770 fits cooks who prefer manual timing and smaller drinks. BN801 adds preset cycles and larger personal cups without enlarging either main bowl.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
Personal cups grow by half
BN801's 24-ounce cups add 50% nominal volume to each BL770 cup.
What this is based on
(24 - 16) / 16 = 50%, before the separate ingredient fill limits.
Main trade-off
Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System
The automatic programs are fixed cycles rather than load-responsive sensing.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
Personal cups grow by half
BN801's 24-ounce cups add 50% nominal volume to each BL770 cup.
How we reached this conclusion
(24 - 16) / 16 = 50%, before the separate ingredient fill limits.
The main vessels are a tie
A capacity-driven upgrade only makes sense for personal cups, not the processor or family pitcher.
How we reached this conclusion
Both list an eight-cup processor and 64-ounce liquid maximum.
Automation changes attention, not the included cuts
BN801 adds named cycles but still does not supply a slicing disc.
How we reached this conclusion
The standard BN801 tool list includes chopping and dough blades, as does BL770.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Ninja Mega Kitchen System | Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automatic cycles | None | 5 Auto-iQ programs | BN801 can run a named sequence for a matching task. |
| Personal cups | Two 16 oz cups | Two 24 oz cups | BN801 increases each personal vessel's nominal size. |
| Processor bowl | 8 cups | 8 cups | The newer control system does not add processor room. |
| Pitcher liquid maximum | 64 oz | 64 oz | Neither has a liquid-batch capacity advantage. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Ninja Mega Kitchen System
- Its sixteen-ounce cups are smaller than BN801's twenty-four-ounce cups.
If you choose Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System
- There is no supplied slicing disc despite the processor bowl.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
Personal drinks get larger
Choose Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System. The cups are the meaningful capacity difference in this pair.
You need slicing or shredding next
Choose neither. A system with an actual slicing disc is required.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
Keep a manual workflow if it works for you
BL770 expects the cook to watch texture and control the run. That can be a comfortable choice for chopping and mixtures that need frequent short pulses. There is no need to value preset cycles if you will override them.
Consider automatic cycles for repeated recipes
BN801's named programs cover smoothies, frozen drinks, extraction, chopping and dough. They are fixed patterns, so they do not carry the same meaning as a load-sensing system. Ingredient order and fill limits still matter.
Find the actual capacity upgrade
BN801's cups are larger, while the big pitcher and processor capacities match. If a current machine feels too small only for family batches, this pair does not offer a solution. For sliced vegetables, neither standard kit supplies the disc hardware.
