The catch
Ninja Foodi Smoothie Bowl Maker and Personal Blender
Thick-blend batch size is limited by the fourteen-ounce bowl.
Side by side
Ninja SS101 vs TWISTi SS151: Larger spoonable batches and drizzled ingredients suit TWISTi
Quick verdict
Small personal bowls and two equal-size drinks suit the SS101. For larger spoonable batches and recipes where ingredients get drizzled in, TWISTi is the better fit.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
The tamper vessel is more than twice as large nominally
Substantially more room for a shared thick blend comes with TWISTi.
Where this comes from
This is not a safe-fill multiplier. The ratio is 34 / 14 = 2.43 times nominal vessel volume.

Change of plan
When the answer changes
The small bowl is too small for your thick recipes
Go with Ninja TWISTi High-Speed Blender DUO. Vessel size changes substantially with TWISTi.
The main job is two equal personal drinks
Go with Ninja Foodi Smoothie Bowl Maker and Personal Blender. That routine is better reflected in SS101's matching cups.
Decision guide
How to decide
The SS101 is for small personal bowls and two equal-size drinks, and TWISTi is for larger spoonable batches and recipes that need ingredients drizzled in.
Judge the thick-blend vessel size on its own
Individual portions suit the small tamper bowl of the SS101. TWISTi's 34-ounce pitcher has more room once the portion grows or a recipe is shared. The real ingredient limits still depend on the recipe and the marks inside the vessel.
Think about how your sauces get made
TWISTi's drizzle cap has a purpose with a dressing that needs oil added gradually. You still have to follow the lid and ingredient instructions. The feature gives you a different workflow. It does not prove a more stable emulsion.
The cups can tip things toward the smaller machine
Two people who both use 24-ounce personal cups will find the matching pair on the SS101. TWISTi swaps one of those for an 18-ounce cup and the larger pitcher. Neither is a choice for hot blending.
