Blender Motor Power Comparator

Last updated 2026-08-23

Every blender box has a power number on it, and the three biggest names in the category don't state it the same way. We fetched three brands' own current product pages directly and found each one uses a different basis for what a shopper reads as the same spec.

Three brands, three different bases for "how powerful" Vitamix's own 7500 page states only "HP: 2.2-peak" — no watts, and "peak" is the only basis given. Ninja's own BN701 page states both "Wattage: 1,200 watts" and "Wattage Peak: 1,400 watts" in the same table — proof, from the one brand that discloses both, that a peak figure overstates real sustained output by a real margin (1,400 ÷ 1,200 = 1.17x), not a hypothetical one. Breville's own Super Q page states "1800 Watt motor... the highest possible motor rating" with no peak/continuous label at all, plus a separate "186mph blade tip speed under load" — a third kind of number that doesn't convert into either of the other two. None of these three numbers can be placed on the same axis without deciding what to do about the missing label.

Where the estimate comes from

1 mechanical horsepower equals 745.7 watts — a fixed physical conversion, not a brand's own number. That's the only step here with no uncertainty. When your number is watts labeled "continuous" or "rated," this tool estimates a peak-equivalent using Ninja's own disclosed peak ÷ continuous ratio (1,400 ÷ 1,200 = 1.17x) — the only ratio any of these three brands' own pages actually discloses. That ratio is Ninja's own, for Ninja's own motor, and is shown as an estimate every time it's used, not presented as a rule the other brands are known to follow.

What this does not do

It does not convert Breville's "highest possible motor rating" watts figure into a verified peak or continuous number — Breville's own page states no basis at all, so that figure is used as printed and flagged, not silently reclassified.
It does not convert the 1.17x peak-to-continuous ratio for any brand except the one that disclosed both of its own numbers (Ninja) — a different motor could run at a different ratio, and no source here proves otherwise.
It covers three named products checked directly, not an exhaustive catalog of any brand's lineup — Blendtec's own pages returned an access error on every direct fetch attempt this session, so no Blendtec figure appears here.
A higher wattage or horsepower number does not by itself mean a blender purees better — blade design, jar shape and program tuning all affect real results, and none of that is measured here.

Every figure, unfiltered

Brand	Model	What their own page states
Ninja (SharkNinja)	Professional Plus Blender with Auto-iQ (BN701)	"Wattage: 1,200 watts" and "Wattage Peak: 1,400 watts" — both stated in the same spec table
Vitamix	7500	"HP: 2.2-peak" — no watts figure anywhere on the page
Breville	Super Q (BBL920)	"1800 Watt motor... the highest possible motor rating" — no peak/continuous label, plus a separate "186mph blade tip speed under load"

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. The surge protector VPR rating comparator found the same "the number on the box isn't the one that's actually standardized" shape in a different market — Joules there, peak power here. The pressure washer cleaning units comparator found the same "peak vs. a real, disclosed second figure" shape too — GPM there, watts here.
