Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Ninja Detect Kitchen System Power Blender + Food Processor Pro is hands down the most versatile kitchen appliance I’ve ever owned. Honestly, it feels like it does everything but tuck me in at night. From smoothies to salsa, dough to dips, this machine handles it all with ease. What really sets it apart is the BlendSense Technology, it automatically detects what you’re making and adjusts the speed and power for the perfect consistency. No more guessing or fiddling with settings; it’s like having a built-in chef that knows exactly what you need. The food processor attachment chops, slices, and purees like a pro, while the to-go cup is a lifesaver for quick morning smoothies when I’m heading out the door. Power is no issue either, this thing crushes ice into snow in seconds and blends even the toughest ingredients into silky smooth results. Cleanup is a breeze since the parts are dishwasher safe, which makes using it every day totally hassle-free. If you want a single appliance that can replace half the gadgets cluttering your kitchen, this is it. Sleek, powerful, smart, and reliable. Ninja really knocked it out of the park with this system.

Great controls and cool intelligence produced excellent results for me in this full featured blender/food processor appliance. Design The Detect Power Kitchen System Blender and Processor Pro is all black with silver trim. I like the look of the rounded corners. There are suction cups on the bottom to keep it from moving when you use it. There's a prominent Ninja logo on the front of the base unit. Below that there are 5 buttons; Power, Manual, BlendSense, Mode, and Pulse. Below those buttons there is a large dial that's also a button. It includes a 72oz pitcher (64oz max liquid capacity), a 64oz food processor bowl that can handle up to 2 lbs. of dough, and a 21oz single server cup (21oz max liquid capacity). The pitcher has a pour spout and there's a nice lid for the single serve cup which also had a closing spout. The blades for the blending pitcher and the bowl for the processor both have the blades anchored at the top and the bottom. If you take off the lids and pour, the blades will fall out, so make sure to remove them before pouring if you take the lid off. They do come out very easily. The processor bowl includes an opening like you would expect to see on a food processor as well as a pusher to push items down. There's a blade insert, insert for kneading bread, and a disc for shredding and slicing - put it in one way to shred and flip it over to slice. The manual comes with some recipes, done nicely with color pictures. It is made to detect Torque, Ice, Portion, and Liquid as part of the BlendSense technology. Controls I love the controls on this! After turning it on, you will have four options, Manual, BlendSense, Mode, and Pulse. It goes to BlendSense by default when you turn it on and you can just press the dial to start. There is a beautiful and bright display inside the large dial. I found it very easy to read and use. Parts of it illuminate as needed. Turning the dial has a great feel as you feel the slight bump from option to option, making selection with the dial easy. Once you're on the option you want, just press the dial in to start blending. If it's doing BlendSense it will run for a short time to detect what's in and/or how to blend. To use the food processor you may want to use one of the Mode settings, which are for that, or you can use Manual. Under Mode there's are settings for Disc (used for slicing or grating), Mince, Small Chop, or Large Chop. The options under Manual are Low, Medium, and High. Again, I really like the feel of the dial as you turn it and pressing it is very easy and works well - not too easy but well designed to require enough force that you will not press it by accident. The dial is the start/stop button for all settings. There is, of course, the Pulse button too which works as you would expect. Blending and the Processor With an 1800 watt motor and the three sets of blades going at once, I don't imagine that this would have a hard time blending anything. It worked great for me as I was using it. I started with a quick and easy milk shake in the single serving cup. I made it very quick and easy one that tasted excellent! I just put three scoops of ice cream and a large banana in it. I used the BlendSense setting, which is the default, and before I knew it had great, very uniformly blended smoothy with no chunks of banana in it. Again, this was in the Single Serving cup which has it's own blade assembly, not the three sets up the middle like the blade for the pitcher. Something more interesting I made was an oat-nut butter in the Processor Bowl. It had oats, walnuts, coconut oil, avocado oil, cinnamon, and vanilla. This took some time because I hadn't made it before and kept needing to add more oil. At first, the oats and nuts would just get stuck along the side. So it was a lot of stop and go to push everything off the sides of the bowl. The blades do go pretty close to the side but there are four vertical bumps that come inward which I'm sure help for most things you use the processor for, but for this it gave just a bit more room for things to get stuck on the side. Like I said, adding oil definitely helped. Did it end up too oily? Not at all! The result was actually excellent. It made an uniformly ground oat-nut butter with wonderful flavor! I'll be making that again for sure! It not only taste great but was very spreadable. After making it I looked at the manual a bit and found that 1/4 cup of oil was recommended for making nut butters. I think starting with 1/4 cup of oil would have made it much easier to make. I also used the disc to grate a block of mozzarella. I just put in parts of the block down the shoot at a time, using the pusher and the "Disc" Mode setting. It went through the cheese very quickly and produced very nicely grated cheese. I was left with a few small pieces at the top but nothing that I didn't think was acceptable. The cheese was grated thinner than what I usually do with a hand grater but the size is perfect for me. I included a picture of the grated mozzarella so you can hopefully get an idea. I also used the standard pitcher to make a fruit smoothy. I used a mix of many different frozen fruits, most all together in a bag that was made for that, but with additional blueberries. Again, this didn't take long to make, I just used the BlendSense and let it do its thing. It ran the short detection and then started blending. It did its thing and finished with another uniformly blended smoothy. While there is nothing hard about doing that, I want to re-iterate that you turn the thing on and the default setting is "BlendSense". At that point all you do is press the Dial to start and then you can watch a nice timer on the screen. It is easy, I like having the timer, and the results were great each time. Summary I'm impressed by the Detect Power Kitchen System Pro. The blender is top notch as far as I can tell. The BlendSense technology is something I will probably use most if not all the time rather than the low, medium, and high settings. It's just so quick and easy. When you do need settings though, I love the button and dial combination of control. I'm not sure I would love it except that the screen is so good! Not just the text in it but you will see different colors around the outside for different settings. I was thinking the processor may be a poor quality add-on to check the box but that wasn't very capable. I feel like it worked very well and could totally be used in place of a food processor in most if not all situations. I did have a hard time cleaning the nut butter out from under the middle post, it was stuck up inside the middle post. They've made it as easy as possible by having it all well sealed but even with the rounded corners of the start inside that post, it was difficult to clean. I think that was due to the combination of how long I had to blend for the nut butter and the consistency of it that made it hard to get it out of that star inside the middle post. My only other comment on cleaning is they have a safety setup so that you need to have the lid on the pitcher or the bowl before it will run. to do that there is a mechanism that runs through the handle. In cleaning I had water get into the handle. That's a bit disappointing but, not a huge issue. It does seem to eventually dry out, at least mostly. Still, for me those are minor issues and the functions this provides as well as how well it does them make it a Blending/Food Processor system that I would totally recommend.

Great size for big and small kitchens. Coming from a bullet and hand shaker, this is a nice change of pace. More options and choices but I mainly use the blender for now. You do get a 24oz blended cup and it blends right into the cup using the one base machine. I made a protein shake with kale and also a strawberry smoothie with granola. Both had a smooth texture, wasn’t to watery. Nothing lumpy with the kale mix either. What’s so simple is the blend sense because this gives you more control like with speed control and modes. There is a manual mode and that is what I used since I only made simple smoothies. The biggest fun however is the blend sense technology altogether. If you are having a family gathering, this blender will get the job done. I look forward to making frozen smoothies. It has an ice detector so if the blend sense detects a lot of ice or say like frozen fruit, it will automatically add power while blending. This blender has it all. It comes with a 8 cup processor and a reversible slicing and shredding disc. I like that everything fits on the counter and it’s easy to clean. 1800 peak watts by the way! Get this Ninja!

I’ve gone through a lot of blenders over the years, and the Ninja is easily the most powerful and reliable one I’ve used. What impressed me right away was how effortlessly it handles everything. Frozen fruit, ice, nuts, thick smoothies — it powers through all of it without struggling or leaving chunks behind. The versatility is what really makes it stand out. I’ve used it for smoothies, protein shakes, sauces, and even grinding ingredients for cooking. The different cup sizes make it super convenient too. If I just want a quick smoothie before work, I can blend directly in the single-serve cup and take it with me. No extra cleanup. Speaking of cleanup, that’s another win. The parts are easy to rinse and most are dishwasher safe, which makes a huge difference when you’re using it every day. Overall, it feels like a professional-level blender but still simple enough for everyday use. If you’re serious about smoothies, meal prep, or just want a blender that actually does what it promises, this one absolutely delivers.

DESIGN: Alright, let's dive in. The design of this Ninja blender is top-notch. It has a modern aesthetic that adds a stylish touch to any kitchen. The matte finish and sturdy build give it a premium feel. The digital display isn’t just a pretty face; it’s intuitive and user-friendly, lighting up with just the right amount of information without overwhelming you. The modular components are the icing on the cake. Not only do they make storage a breeze, but they also allow for easy cleaning. Plus, the rubberized grips at the base ensure it won't go dancing on your countertop. FUNCTIONALITY: BlendSense Tech: Okay, so here's the scoop. Most of the time, this tech is on point. I whipped up some hummus, and boy, it was velvety perfection. But with berries? The seeds can sometimes throw it for a loop, making it think it's dealing with chunky ice. It can get a bit overzealous, but it's not a deal-breaker by any means. Manual Function: Here's a surprise - even with a manual mode, I find myself letting the machine take the wheel. Just set it and forget it. I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of hands-free action in the kitchen, especially when you're juggling a dozen tasks? Diverse Attachments: The Ninja blender brings more to the table than just blending. There's the... Cup: Perfect for those on-the-go mornings. Blend up your favorite smoothie, pop on a lid, and you're out the door. Regular Blender: For when you're entertaining or meal prepping, this sizeable blender can handle it all, from soups to sauces. 8-Cup Food Processor Bowl: It's like having a sous chef in your kitchen. Whip up salsa, dough, or even shred cheese. Speaking of which... Reversible Slicing & Shredding Disc: Slice veggies for salads or shred them for slaws. This disc makes kitchen prep a breeze. Powerhouse Performance: We're talking 1800 watts of raw blending power. I tossed in frozen goodies, from ice to stubborn berries, and this beast handled it effortlessly. If you're tired of those annoying icy bits in your smoothies, this blender's got your back. Closing Thoughts To wrap it up, the Ninja Detect Kitchen System is a real game-changer. While there's that minor berry hiccup, it doesn't overshadow the blender's stellar performance and killer sharp design. It's versatile, powerful, and a looker to boot. If you're in the market for a blender upgrade, especially one with versatility and extra attachments, I'd say this one's definitely worth considering.

Excellent product, very versatile, does everything it is advertised to do. The only minor criticism is the design of the containers for the blender and processor-they have ridges in the inner sides of the walls in each, I presume to increase their strength, but they interfere with pushing material down along the sides while in use, and with emptying the contents after the processing is completed, and cleaning them-but this is a minor annoyance. Overall they are well built, very powerful, the controls are easy to use, intuitive, very flexible, and get the job done. Very highly recommended.

The Ninja - Detect Kitchen System Power Blender + Processor comes with a 72 oz pitcher, a 64 oz food processor bowl, a 24 oz single-serve cup, and various blades and discs for different functions. The pitcher has a Total Crushing & Chopping Blade that can handle large batches of frozen drinks, soups, sauces, and more. The food processor bowl has a chopping blade, a dough blade, and a reversible slicing/shredding disc that can process and chop ingredients for salsa, hummus, pizza dough, salads, and more. The single-serve cup has a Hybrid Edge Blade that can blend smoothies, shakes, and juices for one person. All the containers, blades, and lids are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe. The blender also has some smart features that make it stand out from other blenders. It has a Portion Detect that recognizes the size of the container and adjusts the blending time accordingly. It has an Ice Detect that senses when ice is added and increases the power to crush it. It has a Torque Detect that monitors the resistance of the ingredients and prevents stalling or overheating. It also has 11 manual programs and 4 automatic programs that let you customize your blending experience. The Ninja Detect Kitchen System Power Blender + Processor Pro is a versatile and powerful blender that can perform various functions such as blending, chopping, slicing, shredding, and dough making. It has a BlendSense Technology that automatically detects the ingredients and adjusts the speed and time accordingly. It also has some smart features that recognize the size of the container, the presence of ice, and the resistance of the ingredients. The only negative I found is that it does tend to be a bit loud, but that's probably expected given the power of the motor. Overall, I am very happy with this blender and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a powerful and versatile kitchen system. It is worth every penny and it makes food prep fun and easy - not to mention awesome margaritas! It is easily the best blender I have ever owned.

It’s great when an appliance can do more than 1 job, thereby saving space. But as I recently learned with a new stove that has a built-in air fryer in the oven, sometimes it doesn’t live up to the hype. With the Ninja Blender and Food Processor Duo, having the versatility of both a blender and a food processor in one unit is a huge plus. Included are 2 containers: a 72 oz pitcher and a 64 oz bowl for the food processor, 2 chopping blades, a dough blade, and a shredding disc. Also included is a 24oz to go cup with it’s own blade, so you can make drinks on the go! The blender has BlendSense technology, it’s like AI for a blender, it can automatically detect and adjust speed and blending time. A big reason I got this blender is for my teenage son, he LOVES smoothies! He makes one pretty much every day and has gotten very proficient at making them. He uses frozen fruits, usually mangos and strawberries and fresh banana. I thought it would be interesting to see how the Ninja stacks up against the pro style blender we currently have, a 12 year old Vitamix. Over the course of the week, we made 3 smoothies with various frozen fruits, unfortunately, the results were not that great. The ingredients tend to stuck to the side of the blender jar. We had to take the jar off, shake it up, push it down with a spatula or thinning out a bit with more water (the “add water” light did not come on”). After 3 presses of the Blendsense button and more shaking, it blended smoothly. I love the light show you get with the dial while the blender is working, irreverent? Yes, but its’s still cool! Next test, we used the food processor and the dough hook to make pizza dough. It worked fine, mixed all the ingredients in “dough” mode. A feature we liked when making dough is the lid with the rubber gasket, you don’t get flower dusting all over when mixing. The suction cups held the processer in place when the dough was being mixed. The worse part of this was the cleanup, sticky dough to wash out of the dough blade and processor bowl vs a stand mixer and dough hook we would normally use. Using the food processor with the shredding disc was great, it made chopping up vegetables was a breeze. The dual sided disc is a neat feature, so smart! Overall, the Ninja Blender and Food Processor Duo is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. It would’ve been nice if the recipe book had more recipes to try, although scones are mentioned, no recipes were included. It might have a minor quirk with some ingredients sticking to the side in the blender, but it's a small price to pay for the convenience and performance it offers. I recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and multifunctional kitchen appliance.

I’m really impressed with the Ninja Detect Kitchen System. It’s super easy to use and delivers powerful performance as both a blender and food processor. The BlendSense technology is a fantastic feature—it automatically adjusts blending speed and time, which makes everything so convenient. For the price, it’s an excellent value. The only downsides are that it can get a bit loud while blending, and the sharp blades require careful handling. Overall, it’s a great addition to any kitchen!

The Ninja Detect Kitchen System is everything that I need for my kitchen! This system has BlendSense technology. It will sense your what you put into the Power Blender or Power Food Processor bowl (fresh or frozen) automatically. This Kitchen set comes with a Power Blender, Power Food Processor bowl, and a single serve cup that includes a spout lid. Each device has it's own accessories. The blender has the pitcher lid, and Ninja Detect Crushing and Chopping blade. The Power Food Processor bowl has the chopping blade assemble, dough blade, disc spindle, feed chute/pusher, and reversible slicing shredding disc. The single serve cup will definitely be the most used out of the three for my morning healthy smoothies. You will also receive the user manual with several recipes. This Kitchen System shipped in a large box. Be careful unboxing the blades as they are very sharp. I received a tiny cut placing the blades into the dishwasher. The blender crushed ice in seconds. The food processor worked great chopping onions and celery. My morning smoothie which includes chia seeds was very well mixed. Highly recommend this Kitchen System.

Great blender with excellent features and power. Literally blends everything we put in there and for the price I’m not sure what the more expensive brands would give us. I thought the BlendSense feature would be gimmicky but it actually works really well. Push a button and it blends until it’s done and then notifies you. I use it more than I thought I would. I can push a button and walk away and come back when it’s done. Comes with extra accessories like the food processor and single serve. Haven’t used the food processor but the single serve blender is awesome for quick shakes or smoothies. Ninja hasn’t let us down yet and hopefully this one lasts as long as the old one.

Picked this up from my wife, who's going dairy-free and thought it would help help her prepare her cashew milk and alternatives to cheese. Here's her thoughts. Some of the main things she really likes about this system is this is a fully equipped set, between all the accessories and both the blender and food processor - you really don’t need any other tools. This essentially is a one-stop setup for what she needs. She also likes that the blender pitcher is big and holds 64oz of liquid. Our current blender is much smaller and so you can do bigger batches in this Ninja blender. She did not use the dough attachment yet, but excited to see that come with the set. She's looking forward to making cookies and doughs much easier. Those are one of the items that I've convinced her to leave dairy in for now. The Blendsense function of the blender is a nice set-it-and-forget-it function. She likes the ease of using the blender. The dial and screen are nice, easy to use, and you can clearly see where it's at in the blending process. It wasn't all sunshine, my wife did run into a few hurdles switching to this from our current blender. First, it’s a lot of extra peices so you will need the space to store it. Not a con on her part because we have space in the kitchen, but something to be aware, since you're buying a whole blending system. She also found the Ninja blender not as powerful as the more industrial-strength blender we currently have. Our current blender makes her cashew milk quickly and easily, but when she tried to make it in the Ninja she couldn’t get it to run fast enough or strong enough to really blend the cashews and dates. She was left with a lot of pieces at the bottom. She tried running blend sense 3 times and then she ended up manually running it at the highest setting for an additional 2 minutes. So that’s her only issue - she's going to be making smoothies next week so we will see how it does then. As for cleaning, most of the pieces are dishwasher safe in the top rack, but honestly, it's easier for me to just hand wash them and let them dry in the drying rack.

This blender/food processor is really powerful and easy to use. It handles smoothies, chopping, and mixing without any problem, and the BlendSense tech adjusts things automatically which is super handy. The to-go cup is a nice bonus for quick drinks. Overall, it’s solid quality and very reliable in the kitchen.

This Ninja appliance package includes a 72 ounce pitcher with a pour spout, a 64 ounce food processor bowl, a 24 ounce single serve cup and 5 blades - including a fixed one in the single serve cup and a slicing/shredding disc. They were packed very well and arrived without any damage to the box or contents. The control panel is used to select Manual, Mode (when chopping, slicing or shredding), Pulse or Blendsense. Blendsense “senses your ingredients and blends to perfection” by automatically adjusting the time, speed and power. I don’t know what makes Blendsense do what it does, but I think it needs some refinement. Once the blades start moving, there is a delay while it “senses” the ingredients and decides what to do with them. That 5 - 6 seconds delay is sometimes all the mixing that is needed. When mixing liquids the usual pattern was to sense and then mix for an additional 35+ seconds. That was often much longer than was needed. Unlike a similar brand that has a fixed blade in the bottom, the Ninja pitcher has a removable tiered blade that extends from the bottom to the top. I didn’t do a side by side test, but the Ninja blade design might make it a better choice for mixing a full pitcher. I do like the Ninja lids. They are easy to get off and on. All parts except the motor can be cleaned in the dishwasher on a no-heat dry cycle. They did clean up quite well in the dishwasher, but had a lot of water dripping out of the recessed parts at the end, and the food processor handle filled up with water. When making cookies in the Ninja food processor, I didn’t like the removable blade as much as I thought I might. I had a hard time telling if the consistency of the dough was right because I couldn’t get in around the blade with a spoon to feel it. At the end, the blade was stuck in the dough and it was hard to pull out. It turned out that more flour was needed, but once the blade was out there was no going back. Enough dough to make 2 cookies was stuck to the blades and I had to tediously scrape it off. The pitcher and cup work well for liquids and the food processor does a good job of slicing and shredding, but I think cookies and dough are better made in a mixer. Using the Ninja food processor, I ended up with some very odd cookies that were more like little cakes. I tried the raspberry drink recipe in the instruction booklet. It uses lemonade, honey, ice and raspberries. The results were OK, except that the honey went to the bottom, which became the top when inverted. Although I was careful to use the exact measurements for the ingredients, the mixture never reached the top while mixing and the honey stayed there and didn’t mix into the drink. I would prefer a smaller Ninja. The pitcher and base are large. The assembled pitcher is almost 18 inches tall which is too big to sit on my counter. The cup makes twice what I can drink - especially if it’s something frozen that doesn’t keep. The blades don’t seem to be very sharp and the base is plastic. But for the price, it will work OK as long as adjustments are made to the Blendsense mix times.

Power. Control. The sense blend, get out of here!! This thing starts up like a jet engine and doesn’t quit. I am blown away by the creaminess by which this creates from my protein shakes if you’re like me and you mix water with protein and choke it down every morning you’ll be truly amazed what can happen when you throw just a tiny bit of ice in and allow this beautiful beast to do it magic. And my wife, she is amazed by how smooth it blends the margaritas!!

OMG is it loud! Probably the best blender I have ever had. The power is amazing, I love the way my shakes come out, I haven't used the food processor attachment yet, but the blender (both sizes) is great! I was not sure about buying a "Ninja" product, but I am sold on the brand now.

Ninja Detect Kitchen System is a mouthful to say, but it’s delicious device for its price. It’s worthy of 5 stars for its value and tech…at its product range. I think you’ll appreciate it too if you are looking to consolidate your blender and food processor with a single “do it all” device and have no illusions that it’s not intended to on par with higher tier “gourmet-level” products, though it could probably go toe-to-toe with many on features and abilities, though not longevity. Here are some of my impressions and thoughts after using it for a few days. CLEANING AND BUILD QUALITY I’ll assume you are already familiar with what’s included as it’s well documented on the item page. But if not, I posted a picture above from the box listing these items. There’s a lot to unpack inside the box, and whenever I get a new appliance all the washable parts get cleaned ASAP. The user’s manual says everything except the main base is dishwasher safe if placed in the “top rack,” and high heat dry is off. I assumed top rack here is equivalent to the middle rack for 3-rack dishwashers, where the top rack is for utensils. So, I popped them all in the middle rack, except for the pitcher which was too tall. It only fit in the bottom rack, so I took my chances. When the wash completed I noticed water trapped in the food processor bowl’s gear enclosure. It did eventually air dry, but I’ll be hand washing this part from now on. The other parts fared fine, even the pitcher, which was on the bottom rack, against Ninja’s advice. To be clear, I used a basic wash cycle, steam and heated dry off. It would seem part of the reason high heat dry is ill-advised is because all the accessories are plastic, and not the nice kind either. In fact, build quality is mediocre all around, not really unexpected for a device that does this much for such a reasonable price. Again, it’s not intended to compete with high tier products, so if that is what you are looking for, your time is better spent researching those products. While the design is sleek and, well, cool, once you touch it you realize it’s not made to last. This is not a dig, just reality. The dial and buttons feel flimsy and delicate. At its price it would be unreasonable to expect premium materials and fit and finish, so I can’t knock the Ninja Detect for this aspect of it. That said, I do expect to get a few years’ service out of the Ninja. Once thing that I do hate though are the suction cup feet on the bottom of the base that make it annoying to move around. I’d rather have standard rubber feet. PERFORMANCE With that out of the way, on to performance. Here the Ninja Detect gets an A+. Ninja may have cut costs on build quality, but it didn’t scrimp on its guts. In fact, the Detect has a whopping 1800 watts motor that has handled whatever I’ve thrown at it so far. I can’t go through everything I’ve tried so far, but I do want to cover use of the single serve cup and food processor bowl since these are the two I use most. To me what makes the Ninja Detect such a standout is that it conforms to the user’s needs. If you are a beginning chef or just hate to cook it can do almost everything for you automatically – no need to guess about time, force, etc. Just prepare your ingredients and press “start.” If you are making a smoothie it will even let you know when to add water. But if you like to customize there is also a manual mode. Personally, I’m in the lazy, hate to cook category. My cooking style is less formal recipe and more “this and that” experimentation. I’ve never had a smoothie/slushie maker before, so I went through a lot of trial and error finding a tasty formula, but the single serve cup was always up to the task. Example, for my very first slushie I cut up a banana, then poured in the last remains of cut pineapple and juice in my fridge, followed by half a can of sparkling watermelon water, then a big scoop of ice. I posted a picture above. Next I powered on the Ninja Detect, pressed the “Blendsense” button and I was off to the races. The machine did all the calculations to prevent a too chunky or watery drink. The Ninja’s eye-catching LED display let me know what was happening at each stage. About a minute later I had my first slushie. Pretty amazing. I posted a picture of this too so you can see “before” and “after.” Taste-wise I needed to adjust my recipe on that one for sure. It needed more fruit and juice, less water. But the texture was excellent and very “Slurpee,” like. A lid is included for the cup if you don’t have time to put your drink into a different one, but I’d advise against using it except at home because you lose or break the Ninja cup, well…. Later I wanted to make a salad for dinner, so I popped on the food processor bowl. This bowl is multi-talented with the various included blades. It can slice, chop, shred, mix dough right out of the box. For my salad I wanted everything sliced so installed that wheel. (The reverse side of this blade, by the way, is for chopping and shredding.) I cut up some carrots, mini cucumbers, and a mini-pepper and put them in the chute. A picture of this is attached above. I noticed the chute didn’t hold a lot, so I compared it to the one for my other food processor and sure enough the chute on the Ninja was about an inch shorter. Not a huge deal, but it is a little less convenient. From there I just powered up the Ninja and pressed “mode,” since I was using the food processor bowl, and then “disc,” since I was using the slicing disc. Here the timing is not automatic, and you may need to turn off the Ninja manually. I had to for this job as it wanted to spin for another 30 seconds after the last nibble left the chute. The results were fantastic. You can see them in the picture I posted above. For a single serving the cleanup isn’t worth the effort again, but for a family or party it will be a huge time saver for sure. The chopping was smooth and fast, no stalling or jamming. CONCLUSION I haven’t used the pitcher yet, because I only need single serve right now, but I assume its performance is identical to the single serve cup. Overall, the Ninja Detect is an excellent, multi-use kitchen device that, based on my use, is perfect for everyone except the most passionate chefs that enjoy more expensive products. Normally lackluster build quality is a major turn off for me but the Ninja Detect is priced right, fun to use and does so much, that this one low point is easy for me to overlook.

I've been using the Ninja Kitchen System Power Blender + Food Processor Pro for a few weeks now, and I’m absolutely impressed with its performance! This versatile kitchen gadget does it all—blending, processing, and even coming with a handy 24-oz. To-Go Cup, making it perfect for smoothies on the go. The BlendSense Technology is a standout feature. It automatically adjusts the power based on what you're blending, ensuring the perfect texture every time. Whether I'm making smoothies, nut butter, or even chopping vegetables, the consistency is always spot on. The 1200-watt motor is incredibly powerful and handles everything with ease, from frozen fruits to hard vegetables. Cleanup is also a breeze, as the parts are dishwasher safe, which is a huge plus. Overall, this blender and food processor combo has exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and powerful kitchen tool!

Powerful, versatile, and easy to clean! The BlendSense tech nails perfect blends every time, and I use the to go cup everyday.Love this Ninja!

It's a great blender, very powerful overall, but for me, living in an apartment, it takes up a lot of counter space, doesn't fit under my kitchen cabinets, and is very loud.
