BlendSense for the perfect blend
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.

Good blender but not magic!
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!

Excellent Blender for All-Around Use!
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!

Ninja TB301 Review
I love this Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender. It makes the best smoothies and with the BlendSense Technology, it sets the correct speed automatically. Just be warned, the blade is very sharp which is why it perfoms so well. Use extra care when cleaning.I would highly recommend this particular Ninja model.

Powerful, well engineered blender system
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.

Another great blender from Ninja
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.
