Our Verdict

Ninja Detect Kitchen System TB401

Ninja Detect Power Blender Pro

The Ninja Detect Power Blender Pro and the Ninja Detect Kitchen System TB401 are similar full-size blenders. The biggest difference is that the Kitchen System comes with a separate 64-ounce food processor with its own blade assembly and lid, as well as a 24-ounce personal jar for single-serve blends. It's also a bit bigger and heavier. Otherwise, both have a 'BlendSense' feature that detects the ingredients in the jar and adjusts the blender's performance accordingly. However, the Pro makes a smoother blend with big batches of fibrous ingredients. Using its personal jar, it also makes a smoother blend with small batches of fibrous ingredients, so it's a better option if you plan to blend single-serve smoothies.
