The belnder works as advirtised. The bendsense feature is works very well. Everything gets evenly blended and there are no chunks. It crushes ice into the best snow. Legit, same level as a shaved ice machine. Plenty of power to get any blending job done. The food processor/ slicer blade works great. No issues there and the dough making bowl/blade/setting work great.

It is fabulous! Since I’ve bought it I’ve been making stuff with with it everyday. Mash potatoes, smoothies, juices, and even my dogs food and his treats. Careful blades are very sharp, which is great, cut my finger the first day. I absolutely love this product.

This is my first small kitchen appliance from Ninja, and I like that it’s an all-in-one device that can do the job of three “single function” appliances. It comes with a full-size 72oz blender pitcher, a food processing bowl with chopping blades, dough blades, and slicer/shredder disc, and a single-serve 24oz blender cup. All these vessels can be quickly installed via twist-to-lock into the same 1800 Watt motor base saving me space on the countertop and in my cabinets when storing. The base has a bright and colorful display in the push-to-start control dial for choosing settings for different modes. Suction cups on its bottom keep the base firmly adhered to my work surface, even during high-speed blending, though make it a little tricky to move around often as I have unstick it first.
The personal blender cup is perfect for making smoothies and pulverizing small quantities fruit and vegetables for salsa, chutneys, and dips. Just remember to add your liquids like milk and yogurt to the cup first then stack up your other ingredients in order of firmness: veggies, fruit, powders, nuts/seeds, then finally frozen ingredients and sweeteners on top, as these will end up closest to the blades when you flip the cup over for a more thorough and consistent blend.
For the cup, you can use the BlendSense mode or Manual mode with Low, Medium, or High speed selections. I mostly used BlendSense which is a one-touch automated program that detects the texture and consistency of your ingredients in the first few seconds to determine speed, pattern, and timing for a smooth, creamy result. Blend times can vary from 30 seconds up to nearly 2 minutes with a countdown appearing on the display. At the end of the program, the machine simply stops; there is no audible beeping or additional notification. While this mode works pretty great, if you don’t fill the cup to the max line, some ingredients may splash to the top and not settle back down to get mixed in, so afterwards you may have to shake the cup and blend briefly a second time.
Included is a pour top that also lets you use the 24oz cup as a sports bottle since it is leak-proof. When pouring or drinking from it, the lid folds flat and snaps in out of the way. The blades for this cup are integrated into its twist-off base, and while I liked that the threads are on the interior of the cup’s rim, rather than the exterior, they tend to trap small seeds and fibers and require a brush for cleaning. There are a few things you shouldn’t blend in the cup like hot foods or liquids and very hard ingredients without liquid e.g. uncooked rice and grains. You’ll also want to remove the blades and empty the cup or install the pour cap immediately after blending to prevent the buildup of pressure (or vacuum) which could damage the cup.
For hot foods, you’ll want to use the large pitcher as it isn’t 100% sealed and can let out excess pressure and steam. The lid clicks and locks into place, so there’s no chance of it “popping off” during blending. However, it is not leak-proof from the pour spout, so care must be taken to not tip or tilt it with liquid inside. I found this vessel suitable for making silky smooth purees for soups, crushing ice for large batch frozen drinks, and even making nut milks and butters. The tall, six-blade spindle is removable, however, it must be installed before you put any food in the pitcher in order to seat correctly. Also, remember to remove the blades before pouring its contents out with the lid off or the blades will drop out!
The sharp stacked blades are spaced somewhat close together though and scraping off sticky foods, purees, and batter can be a bit laborious. The lid for the pitcher has a pop-up handle that only folds flat when attached to the pitcher. This helps remind you to always store the lid on the pitcher so that the sharp blades and secured within.
In additional to BlendSense, there is manual control available with 10 speeds. You can adjust the speed at any time during blending by turning the control dial, and its recommended to start at low-speed then ramp up as needed. In manual mode, the machine will shut off automatically after 60 seconds of cumulative run-time regardless of speed changes in order to avoid overheating the motor. There are also pre-sets for large/small chop, mince, and a pulse button for manually blending in short bursts.
The food processor bowl of this machine is a welcome addition, as it eliminates the need for the standalone unit that I have. It has a 64oz capacity and can chop, mince, slice, and shred cheese or vegetables and even meat, as well as make up to 2 lbs of dough for bread, pastries, cookies, and even pasta with the dough blades. It makes short work of all these activities saving me a bunch of time and effort. The feed chute is a little narrow though, measuring just 2.75” L x 1.75” W.
An additional mode for “disc” appears on the menu when using this attachment. However, I did have one issue when shredding a semi-soft block of cheese; as it reached the bottom of the feed chute some cheese balled up on top of the disc and tilted the blade high enough so that the blade struck the bottom of the plastic pusher resulting in several gouges in concentric arcs carved into the textured grip on the bottom of the pusher. I definitely ended up with a couple tiny plastic shards in my food, so that is one drawback of having a “loose” spindle in the vessel, since the disc blade may not always stay completely level and flat.
I did try out the pizza roll recipe in the instruction manual, though I found that the dough was not ideal for a stuffed pastry as it was much too bready. The accompanying photo, while lovely, also did not match the actual description of how to fold and shape the pizza rolls and felt slightly misleading.
Overall, the Ninja Detect Kitchen System is a versatile multi-purpose small kitchen appliance that combines a full-size and personal blender with a food processor to chop, shred, blend, puree, and pulverize. It’s space-saving and powerful and delivers smooth results with speed and consistency. Cleanup is quite simple and often I just add a bit of water and dish soap to the vessels and blend for 30 seconds to pre-wash. Just be wary that the disc blade has the potential to tilt and strike the pusher if too much food builds up on top of it, and be extra careful when cleaning or scraping food from the blade attachments as they are very sharp. All parts except the motor base are top-rack dishwasher safe as long as heated dry is not used.

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.
