Our Verdict

Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro

Ninja Detect Kitchen System Power Blender

The Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro and the Ninja Detect Kitchen System TB401 are very similar, and which is better mostly depends on what accessories you want. Both blenders come with a 72-ounce main jar and a 24-ounce personal jar for single-serve, but only the Kitchen System comes with a 64-ounce food processor with its own blade assembly and lid. It's also a bit bigger and heavier. However, the Duo can blend a smoothie faster using the personal jar, likely because of its slightly faster max blending speed.

    Can the Tb401 food processor bowl with its own blade assembly and lid fit on the Tb301?

    Hey Hook,

    Officially, no. I just tested it, and it did technically fit and work, but it did not recognize the food processor as a different attachment like the TB401 does, which poses a potential safety risk. The TB401 limits the speed of the food processor to a max of around 2700 RPM, while the TB301 did not seem to limit it. I would advise against it unless Ninja has confirmed that it would be safe to use to avoid damage or injury.

    Thanks for reaching out with this and apologize for the delay in response!

    Who writes your garbage? A human being or AI? I am comparing these two blenders.. the TB301 and the TB401.. your website says they both have 1200 watts. Ninja (and other retailers websites) say it’s 1800 watts. Both of them.

    Hi there! 1800 watts is the advertised peak wattage for each motor base. 1200 watts is the average wattage, which we use for our results to keep comparisons between blenders easy. Ninja usually uses the bigger ‘peak watts’ number on the box and in advertising, but you can see that they also quote 1200 watts for each of these blenders if you scroll down under ‘Product Details’ on their website. Thanks for your question!
