Our Verdict

Calphalon ActiveSense

Ninja Detect Power Blender Pro

The Calphalon ActiveSense is better than the Ninja Detect Power Blender Pro for most uses. The Calphalon makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, so it can make silkier smoothies, soups, and sauces. It comes with a personal jar that you can use for single-serve smoothies and protein shakes. It's also easier to clean by hand. However, the Ninja is much easier to use for recipes like nut butter and hummus since you don't need to remove the lid to stir during the process.
