The Braun TriForce Power Pro (Braun JB9041BK) is a mid-range model that comes with a 68oz main jar. Some variants come with a 20oz personal jar for smoothies. The main jar has an unusual triangular design that the brand claims helps it blend ingredients faster and better compared to its other full-size blender, the Braun JB7201. This multi-purpose blender has 10 manual speed settings and seven blending programs that can be customized with texture settings: coarse, medium, or smooth. You can also use the 'Soup' program to heat ingredients while they blend.

Our Verdict

0.0
Multi-Purpose 

The Braun TriForce Power Pro is fantastic for multi-purpose use. It's well-built and works well for most recipes. It can make a very smooth blend with fibrous ingredients, produce smooth, spreadable nut butter without much effort, and quickly crush ice. It can hot blend and comes with a personal jar for single-serves. However, some blenders are even faster and easier to use. Its main jar isn't dishwasher-safe, and it can be tricky to clean by hand.

Pros
  • Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.
  • Easy to use to make nut butter.
  • Great build quality.
  • 20oz personal jar included.
  • 68oz main jar capacity.
Cons
  • Loud.
  • Blades aren't dishwasher-safe.
0.0
Smoothies (Single Serving) 

The Braun TriForce Power Pro is incredible for single-serve smoothies. Using its 20oz personal jar, it makes a remarkably smooth blend with fibrous ingredients like kale and fruit very quickly. You only need to run its 'Smoothie' program once. The personal jar comes with a resealable lid so you can bring your drink on the go. However, if you only plan to make single-serve smoothies, you might prefer a small personal blender.

Pros
  • Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.
  • Makes snow-like crushed ice.
  • Great build quality.
  • 20oz personal jar included.
Cons
  • Loud.
  • Blades aren't dishwasher-safe.
0.0
Smoothies (Multiple Servings) 

The Braun TriForce Power Pro is fantastic for multiple servings of smoothies. Its 68oz main pitcher can fit a big batch, and you can use it to make a very smooth blend with common smoothie ingredients like leafy greens and fruit with just a few unprocessed bits left over. It's not as fast as some blenders, as you might need to run a couple of 'Smoothie' programs, depending on your recipe.

Pros
  • Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.
  • Makes snow-like crushed ice.
  • Great build quality.
  • 68oz main jar capacity.
Cons
  • Loud.
  • Blades aren't dishwasher-safe.
0.0
Ice Crushing 

The Braun TriForce Power Pro is a fantastic ice crusher. It quickly crushes a big batch of ice cubes into snow-like crushed ice. Its ice crush program works quite well, but it doesn't pulse, and you might need to stop and use a spatula to free any ice that gets stuck away from the blades. This means it isn't as easy to use as the very best ice crushing blenders, but it's a minor downside.

Pros
  • Makes snow-like crushed ice.
  • Great build quality.
Cons
  • Loud.
  • Blades aren't dishwasher-safe.
0.0
Soups 

The Braun TriForce Power Pro is incredible for soups. Its 68oz jar can fit most recipes in one batch, and it makes a very smooth blend with fibrous ingredients like kale and broccoli fairly quickly. It can blend hot ingredients, and the 'Soups' program on the 'Smooth' setting can also heat up ingredients as they blend.

Pros
  • Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.
  • Great build quality.
  • 68oz main jar capacity.
Cons
  • Loud.
  • Blades aren't dishwasher-safe.
0.0
Professional Use 

The Braun TriForce Power Pro is fantastic for professional use. It's very well-built and has a wide range of speed settings for different recipes. It's well-suited for blending fibrous ingredients for recipes like smoothies and soups, making nut butter or hummus, and crushing ice. However, it's very loud, and its main jar and blade assemblies aren't dishwasher-safe.

Pros
  • Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.
  • Easy to use to make nut butter.
  • Makes snow-like crushed ice.
  • Great build quality.
  • 68oz main jar capacity.
Cons
  • Loud.
  • Blades aren't dishwasher-safe.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The Braun TriForce Power Pro only comes in 'Black.' The JB9040BK model comes with a 68oz main pitcher, while the JB9041BK model comes with a 68oz pitcher and a 20oz personal jar ('Smoothie2Go' jar). Our unit included the personal jar. You can see our unit's label here.

    If you encounter another variant, let us know in the comments, and we'll update our review.

    Popular Blender Comparisons

    The Braun TriForce Power Pro is a full-size blender with a good performance for the price. If you want a full-size blender that comes with a personal jar for smoothies, it offers a better overall performance compared to options in the same price range like the Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro or the NutriBullet Triple Prep System. It's similarly good at processing fibrous ingredients like kale for smoothie recipes in either of its jars, but it also works very well for thicker recipes like nut butter, and it can hot blend. However, it's much louder than the more expensive Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance, and its jar isn't dishwasher-safe, unlike options like the Vitamix Explorian E310.

    If you're looking for a recommendation, check out the best blenders for smoothies, the best blenders for ice crushing, and the best blenders.

    Vitamix Explorian E310

    Track

    The Vitamix Explorian E310 has a slight edge in performance over the Braun TriForce Power Pro JB9041BK. Both are well-built and versatile, but the Explorian is better for blending big batches of fibrous ingredients, is a little easier to use for recipes like nut butter, and is easier to clean by hand. However, they perform similarly overall, and the Braun model's controls include several automatic blending programs. It's sold with a 20-oz personal jar included.

    Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro

    Track

    The Braun TriForce Power Pro JB9041BK is better than the Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro. The Braun has a better build quality and makes a smoother blend with big batches of fibrous ingredients in its main jar. It's easier to clean by hand, has more automatic blending programs, and has a greater range of speed settings. The Ninja is a bit quieter and easier to use for crushing ice.

    Ninja Blender Duo with Auto-iQ BL642

    Track

    The Braun TriForce Power Pro JB9041BK is better for most purposes than the Ninja Blender Duo with Auto-iQ BL642. The Braun has a better build quality and blending performance for most recipes, like processing small and big batches of fibrous ingredients and making nut butter. It can also hot blend. However, the Ninja comes with three personal jars for single-serve smoothies instead of just one.

    nutribullet Triple Prep System

    Track

    The Braun TriForce Power Pro JB9041BK and the nutribullet Triple Prep System have different strengths. The Braun is sturdier and better for processing thicker recipes like nut butter. It has a wider variety of speed settings for different blends, and it's a better multi-purpose blender overall. The nutribullet makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients in its main jar, so it's better for big batches of smoothies. The nutribullet also comes with a food processing bowl.
