Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice product! I just wish that the large container had the blade at the bottom to make the “vortex” effect. Other than that pretty good!

Great blender which it was cheaper but I guess you get what you pay for

great blender super smooth and it makes great shakes. perfect for my protein shakes

That was a good mother today Give and my wife see is happy

Love my Ninja blender! The speed sensor is cool. It can overblend with it though for smoothies.

Ok but manual button just fell off using it. Everything else seems ok.

extremely loud, to many sensors, and funtion for nothin, it does exatly the same is the old version. don't wasted you're money

This will be my second Ninja blender, replacing one from a few years ago. The last one had some features that I didn't particularly care for nor use, and I will say that the absence of those things here makes this a winner in my book. The good: It's easy to use. No real gimmicks here for a blender (more on that later). It blends everything you can throw at it that's edible. Ice? No problem. Berries for a smoothy? Easy. The smoothy/drink containers are 99% perfect. Easy to drink from without the lid, and even better with it. Some cups have the threads on the outside, which makes using the cup as a cup a bit annoying. Like you went to the dentist and got novocaine for a cavity and dribble everywhere. Not the case here, the threads are inside the lip, small details matter. The full sized blender is great, makes quick work of whatever you toss in there. The locking lid is a nice touch, makes it impossible to spill anything since it is a two step process to remove it. Everything is dishwasher safe, a huge plus in my book. While it says top rack only, I place the cups on the bottom since they will not fit on the top rack for me. If you have a heated drying cycle that gets very hot, you run the risk of melting things since the heating element is typically on the bottom of the machine. It works for me, but you're on your own there can't guarantee you'll have the same experience. To add to that, I love how the cups and containers don't have tiny nooks and crannies that require small bottle brushes or pipe cleaners to get clean. My last Ninja had a completely useless vacuum "freshness" feature. All it did was add complexity and made cleaning up a royal pain in the you know what. The base is very small and light. They packed a lot of power into it, and I do love that about it. Only hitting one button to start it is really nice, no longer need to select a program, and then hit start. Sure it only saves one step, but simple is better. The not so good: The base of the smoothy cups isn't perfectly flat, so they wobble ever so slightly. It isn't enough to tip over, but also...it's a bit expensive of a blender for that type of oversight in my opinion. Not a deal breaker though just a "really?" type situation. I'm not sure it has much use as a chopper for vegetables. The box shows perfectly chopped onions....yeah that's not going to happen ever, sorry to say. It'll get you close but no where near that perfect. Not a deal breaker since I wouldn't ever use this that way but just a heads up for anyone thinking to use it in that capacity. The smoothy blades do actually require a pipe cleaner to get underneath the very bottom blades....so not perfect but still really good. I'm not sure why companies insist on making things inconvenient but here we are. Not the end of the world but just a heads up, those bottom blades are really tiny and a kitchen sponge won't fit in there. It's loud, but most blenders are so maybe this deserves its own "eh whatever?" section. The questionable: Honestly the whole "blend sense" thing is a bit interesting in my opinion. I use this almost entirely for smoothies in the small containers. A mixture of powders and milk, plus two ice cubes. Blend sense selects "maximum crush." Ok I guess, but it takes 10-15 seconds to figure out which program to use, at which point the drink is pretty much ready. The program then runs for another 35 seconds. The drinks come out just fine though. I made a knock off of a famous coffee shop's morning breakfast egg bites. So, eggs and cottage cheese. It selected the same "maximum crush" setting. For eggs..... They came out fine, but again...."maximum crush" for eggs. Yeah. Like I said, questionable. Does it blend? Yep sure does. Does it do it in a weird way? Also, yep, sure does. It's a good blender, and Ninja has a great track record, and everything I've read says they stand behind their products. I've never had a Ninja appliance die on me, and I own a few, but it's nice to know they're there to help if I needed it.

Great blender. Only problem are nubs on 24 oz cups. Break off. Need a new one already.

Very nice, built well. And easy to use with multiple purposes from smoothies to meal preparation.

This blender is big, powerful, and thanks to the individual cups the kit comes with also convenient. My brain didn't correctly process how massive a 72oz main pitcher was going to be, so make sure you have somewhere to store this beast when not in use. Extremely powerful able to hit 1700w peak power which is about as much as a standard 15amp circuit can support. No issues with it tripping breakers yet, and handles anything I've thrown in it with ease. Features suction cups on the front feet to make sure it doesn't jump off your counter. The motor is a bit loud so if you have other people in your home starting the day out with a smoothie will act as a very effective alarm clock. The "blend sense" tech seems to work well, letting you know when the mixture may be too thick or otherwise doing a good job of making sure the ingredients are well mixed. The two included single serving cups include lids so you can take your drink on the go without transferring it to another vessel. I've done smoothies, milkshakes, salsa, and frozen adult beverages with it so far and have gotten rave reviews for my blending prowess which mainly comes down to hitting the start button thanks to the blenders capabilities. Easy to clean as everything is dishwasher compatible. If you are needing a new blender with a massive pitcher but the ability to make more convenient individual serving sizes I would definitely recommend you check this kit out.

Works great but not as I expected, for that price , it should perform much better.

I have been using Ninja products for many years and they have never failed me. They always put out a quality product that lasts. The new Detect Duo Blender is no different and another great addition to the Ninja family. Previously, I had been using the Power Blender & Processor System for all of my blending needs. In my house it is used primarily for making smoothies and milk shakes. The new Detect Duo ups the blending ante by upgrading the motor to 1800 watts of power. The previous Power Blender was 1400 watts and while always seemed adequate for my purposes I can see the difference in power on the Detect Duo. Using either the pitcher or the smaller personal blend cup it works magic on fruits, vegetables, ice, and ice cream. Even my youngest son who is the purveyor of milk shakes commented on how smooth the final product was. Needless to say he is a fan. Overall, the Detect Duo does a great job of auto-sensing the necessary blend and gets right to it. The controls are fancier than the previous model, but really I feel like it is more a cosmetic change than anything. The overall unit is handsome and will look good on a counter. One catch for me was that it is a bit taller with the pitcher on and will no longer fit underneath my cabinets. Certainly not a deal breaker, but be aware the unit combined is 17 1/4" tall versus the Power Blender at 14". Guess that is the price you pay for the extra 400 watts. Additionally, the new Detect Duo only has two suction cups on the base as opposed to the four on the previous model. I originally thought this might be a problem with more power and less grip to the surface, but I was wrong. No issues with stability and it is much easier for me to get the base loose from the counter and moved elsewhere in the kitchen. Nice call Ninja! Simply put, there are a lot of high end blenders out there for a lot more money and unless you need to blend a phone I can whole heartedly recommend the new Ninja Duo Detect for all your blending needs (and it might be able to do a phone too but I am not going to test that). It is a great value and should be another reliable Ninja product. Do not hesitate to put it on your list.

Do not recommend buying this blender. The jar quality is poor. After three uses, it has discolored and looks like it was purchased years ago.

The Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro + Single Serve is A M A Z I N G. I used this for smoothies for the first week to start and it was perfect every time. With my other machine which I think was getting pretty burnt out, I would have to stop it and move stuff around to get things to blend completely. Not with the Ninja Detect, it's smart. I also this time of year have a garden and process so many things from the garden. I gave this thing a run for it's money. It chops like nobody's business, saved me so much time. It's got an auto sense, so amazing. I chopped tomatoes, onions, red, yellow and green peppers, jalapeno peppers (don't breath in when you pull the cover off, it will throw you into a coughing fit, lesson learned) I chopped everything I had in the garden. I made Spaghetti Sauce, Salsa Verde, Salsa, and it all was great. I found everything about this to be wonderful. I couldn't find any flaws at all. This is a powerful and amazing machine and I highly recommend this. I plan to use this daily. I have a smoothie every morning and I love how much room it gives you in the cup. If you have ever used Ninja products this is a one up from anything else I have ever owned from them. I have no doubt that this is going to be a good seller for them. I am so glad that I have this, it's going to be well used by this family. I am debating if I will keep this out on the counter top. Normally I put it away all the time, but I use it so often it might be better off where I can see it. Much love for this machine. It's a keeper for me.

What an upgrade! I was getting by for many years with and old magic bullet. It didn't it's job but every time I used it, I would think "I really need to get a real blender". Enter the Ninja Detect Duo and just wow! The power and speed this thing has, just blew me away. I love the travel size convertible cups, that's what I was used to, but these are bigger and just the right size. The big blender pitcher is great for making bigger recipes and batches of drinks. I love how it's not glass but heavy acrylic, so much easier to work with. The safety features of this system are far more advanced than I've ever seen. The ninja won't run unless the pitcher is locked in. The lid latches on and locks down, so no more blender explosions. Although the lid does totally lock in place, I still find myself in blender pose, out of habit I guess. This Ninja has different settings but with it's power, I use the pulse button mostly or the blend sense. Just a couple seconds and most things I make are done. Making frozen drinks and shakes is a breeze. Effortless, almost like nothing is in the blender. Ice is crushed almost instantly! No more blender jiggle is wonderful! You know, when you jiggle and bounce the blender to get the ingredients back down. Just seconds to perfectly blended drinks!

My house's kitchen is not large, but we have a lot of appliances on the counter. Two of them being a blender and a Ninja personal serve blender. The ninja detect duo replaces both appliances into one. The blender works great and it even has a feature that will tell you to add more liquid to whatever you are making if necessary. As far as the design goes, it has a stainless steel design, making it look premium and blend in with my other modern appliances. The buttons are large, and not over complicated. The single serve cup is big enough for two personal servings. It also has a strap that allows you to wrap up the cord when you are not using it and keeps it out of the way. As far as cleaning goes, it is easy to take apart and all parts are dishwasher safe except for the blade. The blade must be washed by hand. This is a fairly large blender, and it barely fits under my cabinets. If you are someone who likes to make different things in a blender, then this one will do it all. There are other attachments available for purchase, such as a food processor attachment.

This Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro + Single is by far the best blender I have ever used. With it's Detect Technology including it crushing & chopping blade assembly, you simply toss in ingredients and it sensed, crushes and chops. IT 72-ounce pitcher has ample space for making a family smoothy or a round of frozen margarita’s, I especially appreciate the pour spout that is built in to the locking lid. Its simple operation interface is well designed and easy to clean. This particular combo includes two 24-ounce single serve cups with spout lids, and a hybrid edge blade assembly for you singe serve pre or post work out smoothies. While using this blender it will actually stop and notify you that more liquid is necessary to complete a perfect finished product. I also feel that having all of these parts and pieces be dishwasher safe is so helpful. This product actually is on the quieter side of blenders, not sure how they pulled that off, but there is marked difference. I would suggest this product by Ninja for family and friends.

I'm a fan of Ninja as I believe they have great products. The Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro + Single Serve serves to confirm that belief. The reason I wanted this particular blender was because it was both a normal size blender as well as being able to make a single serving without having to use the bigger container. Saves counter space when I can have only one blender instead of two. However, I got so much more. I puree a lot of veggies and fruits which I then freeze to later throw into soups, sauces and smoothies. One problem I encounter is knowing how much liquid to add to the veggies. This blender will tell you if you need more liquid and I found it so much easier to add more than worry about having started with too much. Broccoli, cauliflower and carrots were easily pureed. I also puree for grandkids and that is where the BlendSense feature impressed me. I put some beef stew into the blender, set it to BlendSense and it was perfectly pureed. No worries about little chunks that might cause issues for little throats to swallow. It also worked great making smoothies as I tend to just throw things in without measuring so the liquid indication is great there as well. There is a manual feature so if you'd prefer, you can choose your own timing, particularly if you want to chop things. It comes with a nice recipe booklet which also shows how best to layer your foods into the blender and how best to use it. My only negative is that the blender tends to be loud. However, with the power the blender has, it doesn't take long to do what is needed. Still, something to consider.
