Customer Ratings & Reviews

excellent blender! I use it daily. Our Vitamix died and I was going to purchase a new one but decided on the Ninja. The price is excellent, and it works like a dream! I love the BlendSense technology, crushes ice with no issue and our protein smoothies are great every time. Easy to clean as well. highly recommend!

Ninja makes some of the best small kitchen appliances out there. They're well made, well designed and built with parts that can handle the job. They are our go to brand when we're looking for something new. The Detect Duo Power Blender Pro is no exception. Lets start with the manual. Yes, it actually comes with a full color, easy to read manual! And not the kind that has you scrambling for a magnifying glass. It's well laid out, readable, and actually tells you about the machine and how to use it. It's a very welcome inclusion, and one that other manufacturers are just plain leaving out. This package comes with the super powerful base/motor unit, a blending pitcher with the stacked blade assembly, and two single serve cups which are ideal for smoothies. Although there is only one Hybrid Edge Blade assembly to share between the two cups, there are two lids for them, which means they are completely portable! Totally unnecessary to have two of the Hybrid Edge Blades, one is sufficient. The base unit. This is where the motor is located and the control panel resides. It's weighty, which translates into powerful, and it has suction cups for feet which means it's not going to walk across the counter when you're mixing up iced drinks. It stays put. The control panel has two parts to it, the top row of mode buttons, and a really cool rotary dial that's illuminated. The mode buttons control how you want to use the blender. There's a main power button located on the left side. Press this button to turn on the electronics. After that, choose either Manual, Blendsense or Mode. In Manual mode you can use the round knob to select the speed you want, and then press the knob in to start blending. This mode operates the blender like a traditional blender. In BlendSense mode, the blender will sense what kind of ingredients are in the pitcher and automatically run it's program to sense the consistency and adjust the motor speed to give you a perfect blend. There are some options in this mode including Crush, Max Crush and Thick Mode. You can use these as needed. There's also an error detection that will ensure you have a mixing vessel installed, and also that it's installed correctly. There's an additional error detection when using the mixing cups, and that's the Add Liquid warning. This will let you know if more liquid is needed for the blend. With the Mode button, you can use the knob to select Large Chop, Small Chop and Mince. Want to large chop an entire onion? No problem. Put the onion wedges in the blender, select the large chop setting and push the knob in to start. The blender will run it's Large Chop program and turn itself off when done. You can always stop the program manually by pressing the knob in again. Use the Pulse button to manually operate the blender for pulsed blending. The Mixing cups. If you're a smoothie person, then these were made just for you. There's two included and each one has a lid with a flip top spout. Perfect for the drive to work or just taking it with you. Both of the cups use the same Hybrid Edge Blade assembly. The Pitcher. So this is not your traditional blender and as such, the pitcher is pretty unique. It comes with a removable blade stack, meaning the blades go all the way up through the pitcher. It's removed as a single unit and can be rinsed or put in the dishwasher. The blades are pretty sharp so grabbing it at the top is the best way to handle it. When blending, the blade stack is kept in place by installing the lid on the pitcher. You cannot run the blender without the lid being in place. This is to support the blades and also keeps your hands or wooden spoons out. Unlike a traditional blender that only has blades at the bottom, this one has blades the up through the pitcher which helps to mix your ingredients more thoroughly. The lid is locked in place by a handle that you press down to secure. To remove the lid, there's a release button. The lid also has a pour spout for liquids. So we made a bunch of things with this system and had really good results with all of them. Smoothies turn out just perfect. The consistency is great. Frozen Margaritas are very smooth and uniform. No big random ice chunks. Soup ingredients are uniform size with the most work being, the initial chop of larger items like onions and carrots. If I had a helpful tip to share it would be that if you need to chop a lot of veggies for something like soup, it helps to do the tougher, harder ones like carrots, separate from the softer more hydrated ones like onions. Carrots will take a bit longer to chop up than things like onions, so by the time the carrots are ready, the onions are probably a lot smaller and finer than you want them to be. For things like salsa, where all the veggies are about the same texture, it's no problem at all. The BlendSense works amazingly well, and it's really easy to get spoiled using ig. Just put in you stuff and watch the machine do all the work. It senses the time it needs to blend things to the chosen consistency, and also ramps up the power when needed. We really like this blender system, it has one of the best designs and solid construction of any that we've tried.

If you are in need of a powerful, great working blender, look no further. Very practical with the two to-go cups. Strong blending capabilities and easy to use.

Powerful and easy to use! The Ninja Detect Blender crushes everything smoothly, from ice to veggies. Love the big pitcher and handy to-go cups. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This blender's performance is truly impressive. The powerful motor ensures smooth blending every time. Its sleek design complements any kitchen countertop. Cleanup is a breeze thanks to the dishwasher-safe components. It's a versatile appliance for creating delicious smoothies and soups.

This blender has been excellent for all of our household blending needs, including the excellence and efficiency of being able to blend in the included individual blender cups for smaller servings or on-the-go use! The BlendSense technology of this system does appear to work well! I tested it multiple times with different configurations of ice-filled cups with smoothie ingredients like whey protein and banana, and much to my delight the blender did indeed vary in the speed and intensity of its motor as the different ingredients were detected. It even displays a digital count-down clock as it is blending at displays in real-time what actions the blender is performing, including “crush” for when a large amount of ice is being ground up! I will be perfectly honest that I don’t think that this detect feature is precisely life-changing where our blending needs are concerned, but it is absolutely cool to use and the feature that detects if there is too little liquid in the mixture may actually come in handy and prevent the blender motor from experiencing unnecessary strain or damage. As with other ninja blenders I have had in the past, this blender is utterly intuitive to use and requires little to no setup to get started. The first few times I blended with it, we did notice a rather pungent, acrid, heated-electronics smell coming from the motor exhaust at the bottom of the blender, but it stopped smelling that way after a few cycles of blending were performed. The only thing I wish that this blender had in comparison to the last Ninja blender I had was a better cord management system for winding it up and stowing it away when the blender is not on our counter being used. The last Ninja smart blender we owned had a protruding rear vent port that was also handy for winding the cord around. Altogether, this very small complaint aside, we are extremely happy with our new Ninja Detect blender! It is a very handsome-looking appliance and is very tech-forward with its digital display and real-time feedback while blending. Thanks for reading and I hope this review helps you make your purchasing decision!

Very good blender! Easy to use! Easy set up! Not too loud at all! Would recommend to everyone !Only downside to it if any you may have to use it twice if u use the sense blend .

Purchasing this made us realize how awful our last blender was. This one makes blending look easy. It’s very easy to clean (the blades can get tricky) but everything else is a breeze. Having the single serve blenders are also easy to use and are very convenient. I would absolutely recommend this if you are looking for an extremely capable blender.

Let's face it, I have a pretty busy life. I don't want complicated things to use in the kitchen, I'd rather it be quick and easy to make with very little mess. So, a blender that will detect how it needs to run to get a smooth blend that also chops or minces...and is dishwasher safe....a blender calling my name. Choose between single serve for quick smoothie/milkshake blends or the pitcher. The base senses whether or not you have installed either of the containers (creepy how todays tech keeps evolving) and will not let you blend until one is secured. When you connect, the base automatically is set to blendsense. If you need to chop/mince, you'll have to use the pitcher and set it to mode otherwise just use the blendsense. No matter how full or thick the contents are, the blender figures out exactly what to do to blend the mixture. It will even tell you if you don't have enough liquid so you don't burn out the motor. I compared filling the single serve partially full and full to see how the blendsense would act. To my surprise, it ran at a lighter power partially full than it did full. It's so easy to use. Comes with some recipes along with easy to follow instructions and some lids for the single serve

Ninja has always made some awesome kitchen appliances, but they’re new blender the Ninja Detect Detect Duo Power Blender Pro+ is awesome. Even though it’s not a “smart” blender, it sure feels like one. The first few times I used it my wife even came over to see it in action, everything about it just feels so digital. This particular blender comes with the three rows of blades that ninja is known for, they help blend everything inside of the blender more evenly top to bottom. There are three main modes, manual blend BlendSense, and “mode”. Manuel is the easiest, just turn the dial to the desired speed, push the dial/button, and that’s it, your blending. BlendSense technology means that your blender is able to detect if you need to add more liquid so that you can achieve the perfect blend such as a smoothie. This particular package also includes two smaller cups and one blender blade for individual smaller portions, such as a protein shake or smoothie, etc. And finally, the last mode is for chopping, it basically asks you how fine you want the items you put in to be chopped, very fine, medium, or large. I really like this blender a lot, and I think you will too. Give it a try.

I have had many Ninja blenders in the past and every one is better than the last! With this update, Ninja added a more modern look with the dial and clearer display, as well as an improved sensing mode. The staples of Ninja blenders are still there, especially the single-serve cups that are the perfect size for a morning breakfast shake (1 cup frozen strawberry banana mix, 2 blueberry Greek yogurt cups, 4oz water, 4 "freezer ice machine" ice cubes, sense blend)! I have been trying different recipes that come in the included recipe book, chopping, blending, pureeing, you name it, this thing can handle it perfectly! I even ground coffee beans, they turned out just like it came from my coffee grinder! I truly can't say enough about how amazing this blender is and how much easier the new Sense IQ mode is for choosing how to blend, mix, chop, or crush whatever it is you're trying to accomplish! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, just anyone! Buy it for yourself, a friend, a wedding gift, birthday, holiday, and the recipient will truly love it! This is the kind of machine that will become your go to in the kitchen!

I recently purchased the Ninja Detect Power Blender Pro, and it has exceeded my expectations! The 1800W motor is incredibly powerful, easily blending everything from smoothies to nut butters with no chunks left behind. The BlendSense Technology is a great feature, automatically adjusting speed and power for optimal blending results. It’s also very easy to clean - everything is dishwasher-safe, which is a big plus. If you’re looking for a high-performance blender that’s versatile and easy to use, I highly recommend this one. Definitely worth the investment!

Works great and is very easy to use and clean up. Glad I bought it.

I really liked this blender. I highly recommend it if you want to upgrade your old blender with buttons from a Ninja or even another manufacturer. The only problem is that at first, it was uncomfortable using only the wheel to adjust the blender speed, but once you get used to it, it's very convenient.

The blender is doing the job/the speeds are good& the machine is very powerful

Great product. User friendly and efficient. Well worth the purchase.

Very powerful blender - turned ice into snow. Very Loud :)

This Ninja bender replaced another that my family of 6 used multiple times per day for 5 years and still runs great! The new blender surpassed our expectations in terms of power and featutes. Ninja makes amazing products at a low cost. I highly recommend buying any Ninja products.

This blender is a wonder! I made salsa, pico, and smoothies. Pros: The smart blend will chop into precise chunkiness, and blends smoothly. It's quiet... not as loud as my other brand blender. And it's really easy to clean. Cons: It's BIG. The large chopper for pico left some chunks, but maybe because I didn't have enough in the pitcher (too small of a batch)

Love this blender. I was in need of a new one when mine suddenly died, and this one has surpassed my expectations in a few ways - right away I enjoyed the digital screen and blend sense capabilities where I don't have to choose any particular setting because it just starts up and decides how fast or with pauses, etc. I was worried about the "smart" features as these things can be the first to go, but I've had this blender going on 2 years with weekly use and no signs of slowing yet. Plus I love all the attachments and extras that come with it.
