I love this Ninja  Detect Power Blender Pro.  It has  blend sense technology. That is an intelligent one-touch program that senses your ingredients  and blends to perfection. It says it senses your ingredients and automatically chooses the blending speed, time, and pulses to blend to perfection. It also has chop functions, large, small, and mince functions, which is perfect for chopping vegetables.  I love that function of this blender as well.  Be extra careful with the blade. When the lid is off the blade is not secure and is very sharp.  It will cut0 you so be extra careful with it.  I love that it has a suction cup base that actually stays in place  too.  Love the easy pour spout and easy locking lid, too.  I would definitely  recommend  this product to family and friends
