The Ninja Detect Power Blender Pro works exactly as its name. It’s simple, smart and very powerful. It can sense and set up the auto blending time for ingredients. The engine base is light weight compared to Vitamix and Breville, so the suction on the base bottom very helpful to avoid accident. The noise is fine, honestly less noisy than my Vitamix. I’ve tried both thin (having enough liquid) and thick mode (4 hard ingredient cups with just 3 tbsp liquid), the blender works efficiently. I assume that I can use this new friend as a blender and food processor. It’s easy to clean as well. Win, win!!!
