I got this for my birthday on April 8th and I am beyond excited by how great it is. I had an older KitchenAid that I used to make smoothies and I started smelling an odd burning smell with it. I searched high and low to find my perfect blender and I finally decided on the Ninja Detect Kitchen System Power Blender Plus Pro with Blendsense Technology. I've only had it for over a week but this thing is miraculous. It senses what I've put in the pitcher and how to blend it! Best smoothie I've ever made! I can't wait to try out all of the other options this system offers!
