[Nutribullet has introduced its new Smart Sense Blender, which takes the hassle out of making smoothies, soups, dips, and sauces It automatically detects ingredients in the blender and adjusts speed, time, and functions to provide the perfect blend with no lumps every time It may be one of the best blenders on the market

Senior Home Editor Millie Fender thinks so 'I've never seen a blender that can automatically adjust its settings based on what you put in the blending jug'

With 1400 watts of power and five variable speed settings, plus a pulse for control, it has the precision to make alternative flours, nut and seed butters, and fully emulsified vegetable milk without straining Imagine being able to enjoy dairy-free homemade alternatives without the hassle What's more, the Nutribullet SmartSense is priced at $119

The new blender is designed for hot and cold liquids, and the full-size pitcher has a spout and vented lid for safe handling of homemade soups and hot drinks Plus, the pitcher and lid are dishwasher-safe, so cleanup is super fast, although it's good to know how to clean the NutriBullet blender

What's so impressive about this latest NutriBullet blender is its price: at $119, it's only $10 less than the NutriBullet Blender Combo, which also comes with a personal blending attachment but without the SmartSense

In contrast, Ninja's BN751 Professional Plus DUO is available on Amazon for the same price It has the same power levels and five blend settings, but no smart display or automatic blend setting

We will be testing the Smart Sense in our test lab over the next few weeks to see what it is capable of, but for now we are cautiously optimistic that it will perform well above its price

Aside from the standard Smart Sense configuration, you can also purchase a blender combo that includes two single-serve blending cups (24 oz and 32 oz) and a deluxe extractor blade

The Nutribullet SmartSense Blender is available in black, gunmetal, and white with a satin finish It is available directly from Amazon and Nutribullet for $119 The SmartSense Combo Pack is available from Amazon and Nutribullet for $149
