Our Verdict

Ninja Detect Kitchen System TB401

Smeg BLF03

The Ninja Detect Kitchen System TB401 and the Smeg BLF03 are both full-sized blenders, but the Ninja performs better. Whether you're making smoothies or crushing ice, the Ninja produces superior results. The Ninja also comes with a personal-sized jar and food processor bowl. Neither model can hot blend, so they're not suitable for making soups.
