Our Verdict

Ninja Foodi Power Blender Ultimate System

Ninja Detect Kitchen System Power Blender

The Ninja Foodi Power Blender Ultimate System and the Ninja Detect Kitchen System Power Blender are both full-size blenders that come with a variety of additional jars and accessories for different recipes. In addition to its regular blending blades, the Ultimate System comes with blades for chopping and grating that you can use with the 72oz main jar. A 'Smoothie Bowl Maker' is also included, making it easier to use for thick recipes like nut butter. The Detect comes with a 72oz main jar and a separate 64oz food processing bowl. Both blenders come with personal jars that make well-blended single-serve smoothies, but the Detect does a better job of blending fibrous ingredients in its main jar, so it's better for big batches of smoothies.
