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!

This is the second full size Ninja blender Duo that we have had in the last few years. Not only does this thing look sleek but the auto blend feature works well if you want to walk away and let the blender do its thing. Not having to stand there and closely monitor it is a nice feature for those who blend a lot of smoothies or like to make a lot of frozen drinks with their Ninja. One key thing I like are the larger single serve cups to be able to blend more compared to my previous single serve Ninja blender. I personally make a lot of protein shakes and my kids love to make smoothies almost daily so this has been a nice bonus having the larger single serve cups so there is enough to go around without having to use the larger blender attachment. If you don't want to use the auto feature it also has the various manual modes as well as a button to pulse to get just the right blend that you're looking for no matter what drink you're trying to make. The large blender portion can hold a lot of fruit or other juices to make big portions of smoothie for a large group of people. As with all my other Ninja products the blades are super sharp and have had absolutely no problems tearing through frozen fruits as well as ice cubes. Overall I've been very impressed by this one although sometimes the auto blend goes a little longer than I prefer but it does a great job fully blending anything I have put into it so far.

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)

Unboxing Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro + Single Serve you’ll find the blender base, a 72oz pitcher with locking lid, the stacked blade assembly, two single-serve 24oz cups, two screw-on spout lids for the single-serve cups, and the blade assembly for the single-serve cups. Most everything feels solid and well built. Much of the construction is plastic, including the 72oz pitcher. The physical buttons along the top edge of the blender body as well as the large selector dial have a very positive feel to them. The single-serve 24oz cups are thick-walled. The stainless steel blades are razor sharp. And the permanently attached power cord measures 32”. Assembly is logical and easy to follow with the included instructions. Lids and hatches close tightly and vessels engage in the base smoothly and positively. Once a vessel is mounted to the base, you have many options, including Manual, Mince, Small Chop, Large Chop, Pulse or BlendSense. The BlendSense mode will use the first 15 seconds of blending to try to determine what is in the vessel and adjust the speed, power, and time accordingly. In my testing, BlendSense can produce varying results. For instance, I used it to make multiple margaritas in a row. Using the same amount of ice each time, the blender would sometimes produce very smooth results with no lingering icy chunks then other times it would overestimate the time necessary and would leave the ice more watery/slushy than desired. The only other considerations to mention: The 72oz pitcher or 24oz cup being plastic limits use with hot liquids. When the lid to the 72oz pitcher is not on the pitcher, the handle locks in an upward position, making storage awkward. Also, the spout lids for the single-serve cups work fine but they just don’t have the same quality feel to them. The Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro + Single Serve is a solidly built, versatile, premium blender that is easy to operate and performs very well.

Best blender for the Money. Our last one lasted almost 10 years with regular use.

Works great, very happy with it. Would buy again if I needed too. Power level is good. Mixes or grinds up everything.

I have been using the Ninja Detect Duo blender for a while now and I am impressed with most of its performance and features. It is quite powerful, it sounds like the motor is bogging sometimes, but that seems to be the blender adjusting, then it will run itself at the speed it thinks it needs, check again, etc. There are suction cups on the bottom that do a good job of grabbing our countertop and keeping it still while it’s doing it’s business, it’s so powerful I wonder if it would move around on it’s own without them. The Detect Duo is somewhat attractive on the counter if you leave it out, but it is a big blender, we decided not to leave it out. It ruins milkshakes on the auto mode. I really wish it had a “Milkshake” button so it didn’t treat everything like a smoothie. Speaking of smoothies, this is the best for making smoothies of all kinds, it handles any ingredient with ease. The main problem I have with this blender (besides milkshake abuse) is the big button. It is the main interface on the machine, I get the idea, and it’s cute to have spinning LED lights and stuff in there, but it feels flimsy and is impossible to turn if you have any moisture on your fingers due to the ring’s smooth glossy finish. The play in the button/knob is concerning me and making me wonder about the longevity of such a flimsy control. I was very surprised by Ninja when I felt the knobs cheap feel, they usually have solid switchgear on their stuff. Ice, veggies, fruit, nothing I put in there gave it any trouble. It makes great consistency of baby food, does a little bit of food processor duty with the chop functions, and is the best for making drinks with the included cups and blender head for the cups. This is the best blender I’ve ever used, it takes a little practice, it’s not magic, but it’s fully useful and a good value assuming that knob holds up. I would recommend it!

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.
