The Ninja Deluxe Kitchen System is a blender/food processor combo that has an 80oz main pitcher capacity, so it can hold more than most blenders. It also includes a separate 72oz food processor and a 24oz personal jar for single-serve drinks like smoothies. It has various automatic blending programs but limited speed settings for manual blending.
Our Verdict
The Ninja Deluxe Kitchen System is decent for multi-purpose use. It's very good for some uses, like ice crushing or making recipes like nut butter or hummus. The personal jar works great for single-serve drinks like smoothies or protein shakes, and it comes with a 72oz food processor for slicing and chopping. However, it has some limitations. It can't be used for hot blending, and if you use the 80oz main pitcher, it won't make a smooth blend with fibrous ingredients like kale or fruits.

The Ninja Deluxe Kitchen System is excellent for single-serve smoothies. While it's not ideal for blending fibrous ingredients in its main jar, you get faster speeds with the 24oz personal jar, and it can smoothly blend smaller batches of fruit or leafy greens. The personal jar comes with a resealable lid, and all of its components are dishwasher-safe.

It's very good for multiple servings of smoothies. The main jar has an 80oz liquid capacity, so it can hold more than most blenders. It easily crushes ice cubes. However, it can't make a smooth blend with big batches of fibrous ingredients in its main jar, so recipes with stubborn ingredients like leafy greens won't be smooth.

The Ninja Deluxe Kitchen System isn't a good blender for soup. It can't blend hot ingredients, so you'll have to let any cooked ingredients cool before blending. The main jar has an 80oz capacity, so it can fit most recipes in one batch, but it can't smoothly blend fibrous ingredients like kale or broccoli.

Popular Blender Comparisons
The Ninja Deluxe Kitchen System is a blender/food processor combo. It's very similar to the Ninja Detect Kitchen System Power Blender, except that its main pitcher and food processor have a bigger capacity. Unfortunately, it's also less well-built and has a lower blending compared with the Detect and most other Ninja blenders. It can't hot blend and won't make a smooth blend with fibrous ingredients in its main pitcher. If you want a blender/food processor combo that can make a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, you might prefer the NutriBullet Triple Prep System, which can also hot blend, or the sturdier Ninja Mega Kitchen System.
If you're looking for a recommendation, check out the best blenders, the best blenders for smoothies, and the best Ninja blenders.
The Ninja Detect Kitchen System TB401 is a slightly better blender/food processor combo than the Ninja Deluxe Kitchen System CO905KS. The Detect feels better built and makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients in its main pitcher. That said, the Deluxe is quieter when it's running and has a bigger capacity in its main pitcher and food processor.
The Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System with Auto-iQ is better than the Ninja Deluxe Kitchen System CO905KS. The Professional has a much better build quality and comes with a pair of personal jars instead of just one. The Deluxe has a bigger capacity in its main jar and food processor, but otherwise, they are very similar blenders.
The Ninja Mega Kitchen System is a better blender/food processor than the Ninja Deluxe Kitchen System CO905KS. It's sturdier, makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients in its main jar, and comes with a couple of personal jars instead of one. However, you might prefer the Deluxe for its sleeker look and blending programs, which stop the blender automatically.
The nutribullet Triple Prep System and the Ninja Deluxe Kitchen System CO905KS have different strengths. The nutribullet is better for blending big batches of smoothies or soup in its main jar. You can use it for hot blending. The Ninja has a bigger capacity in both its main jar and food processor, and it's better for crushing ice and making nut butter.
