Ninja Detect 3-in-1 Power Blender Processor Pro
TB401UK with 1.8L bowl, 2.1L jug and 700ml cup
Editorial review Reviewed 7 October 2026 How we assess products
Ninja Detect is the more useful choice when you want a blender and a food processor in one kit. BlendSense adjusts the blending cycle automatically, and an add-liquid warning helps when ingredients are not circulating properly. Smoothie results are strong, while pulse gives you more control over a sauce you want to leave slightly chunky. The processor bowl, slicing and shredding disc, chopping blade and dough blade extend its work beyond drinks. That breadth has a cost in storage and washing-up: large removable parts can be awkward to fit into a dishwasher, and blending is noisy. The jug’s maximum liquid fill is 1.9L, the personal cup’s is 644ml and the processor’s is 1.6L. Check the particular retailer’s cup quantity rather than assuming every TB401UK box contains the same bundle.
