This thing is AWESOME! It cuts everything up like a beast. I make smoothies and some veggies are frozen and some I dethaw before I blend so a mix of frozen and soft all in the blender and due to this fact I blend it twice. First I throw my spices in, frozen veggies/fruits then dethawed veggies and it just figures it out and blends then stops, blends then stops, blends and stops :D because it feels the frozen stuff on the bottom so it stops for a second or two so the frozen stuff falls back down in the blender then repeats. Love it. But I noticed my spinach wasn't being cut up as much as I like so now I blend it 2 times and perfect. It is extremely easy to clean just spray it down. The blade section does come out for easy cleaning too. Compared to my old blender (20 yrs old but still looks new) this thing is so much quicker and user friendly. I am absolutely in love with it and I am not wasting a lot of my time like I did with the old blender. I can make 2.5 days of smoothies in 15 minutes ... 4 of those minutes is blending the rest is me getting everything I need out to throw in it. The size is great! With my old blender I had to make 2 blender size of it to get 2.5 days of smoothies now I just throw everything in and get it done in no time. Big difference from 1 hour+ to 15 minutes. Also it does have suction cups on the bottom of the blender so I can literally throw everything in it and walk away to prepare the next step in my routine for the smoothies. With my old blender I would throw a dish towel in front of the blender under the footers to stop it from moving forward which was annoying and just another step. This is just the best blender ever. Love it and would buy again and again so highly recommended. Just keep in mind if you are blending a mix of frozen and fresh/dethawed stuff .. make sure you throw in the frozen stuff first to blend properly or you'll have some frozen berries or whatever left at the top so frozen first and you'll be all good. Enjoy!

This blender is the best, I have never had anything like it, easy to use and safe, resistant and meets your expectations 100%

The Ninja Detect Duo is a great blender that takes the guess work out of knowing how long a blend should be. I tried throwing everything at this thing from frozen fruits, Ice, fresh fruits, frozen vegetables, nuts and it powered through everything without a hiccup. Now there are plenty of machines out there that can handle all the stuff I listed above but none of them make it easy and that is where the Ninja Detect Duo stands out. The BlendSense tech works to perfection, all the smoothies I made came out exactly as I wanted them smooth and creamy. The BlendSense tech is designed so that the Ninja Detect Duo can recognize the product in the blender and make using the blender as effortless as possible. Once you power on the machine its automatically set to BlendSense and the Ninja decides on how long it will take for the perfect blend, it also lets you know if more liquids need to be added. From all my uses this is a game changer and takes the guess work out of knowing how long you need to blend. The manual controls work well and I was super impressed with how it differentiated large chop, small chop and mincing food. Take a look at the pictures below and you will notice that the blender isn’t just running on a timed setup, its actually calibrating itself so the food is diced as you requested. The only real issue I had with the machine was spout lids for the single serving cups, they will leak a little bit if you flip the single servers around and shake them. The leaking is very minimal BUT if you are taking them with you on the go there is a chance that you could dirty your cloths. I would highly recommend the Ninja Detect Duo because of its ease of use.

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

This is the first blender I have ever owned so I might not be the best in terms of being a blender connoisseur. That said for someone who occasionally uses a blender for making smoothies, the ease of use with this blender is incredible. Everything works as advertised and the process is very straightforward. You don't have to worry about crushing your ice when making smoothies with this blender as it's plenty powerful. The auto sense makes it easy to make your sauces, smoothies, etc, but you can also manually set the speed too(though keep in mind this is only when you use the pitcher). So far I have primarily used fresh ingredients like strawberries or mango mixed with some honey, milk, yogurt, and ice. However if you do use frozen ingredients, the auto-sense does identify them and will adjust the speed accordingly. If you primarily live alone, the single-serve cup is great and is what you will primarily use unless you plan on making large quantities of your sauces, purees, smoothies, etc. The blade assembly that's used to process the smoothie can also double as a lid for the cup. Though this is a blender, it can dice smaller cuts of meat or harder vegetables as long as they're cut them into one or two inch pieces. Last thing worth mentioning is that the blender is pretty easy to clean. You can technically put everything into the dishwasher except for the motor base. I personally rather just wash the containers, lids, and blades by hand.

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!

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)

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

Fantastic. Blends everything, super easy to use and clean

Amazing easy to use great looking product. Great features

Love it very good i like all the added parts, easy to use

Best decision I ever made. It is simple to use an soo intuitive. I love it!

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.

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.
