Ninja AMZ012BL vs Ninja CT682SP Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Spiralizer
Available on Amazon since May 2017, the Ninja 4-in-1 Kitchen System AMZ012BL was one of the first food processors with a spiralizer blade to hit the shelves in the US and Canada. Following the successful launch of this extraordinary food processor, Ninja launched another multi-functional kitchen system with a spiralizer attachment: the Ninja CT682SP Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer (see picture). But how do these two very similar kitchen systems compare against each other in terms of features and price? Below, take a look at some of the key differences between the Ninja 4-in-1 Kitchen System AMZ012BL and the Ninja CT682SP Intelli-Sense Kitchen System.
Pre-Set Programs
Both the Ninja 4-in-1 Kitchen System AMZ012BL and the Ninja CT682SP Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer come with four BPA-free attachments: a high-speed blender cup, crushing blender pitcher, precision processor bowl, and auto-spiralizer attachment with interchangeable blades. However, despite boasting a similar set of attachments, the Ninja AMZ012BL and the Ninja CT682SP come with different sets of pre-set programs. Each of these pre-set programs uses a unique set of pulsing, pausing and/or blending patterns to make it as easy as possible for you to create drinks and meals with perfect textures. Here's an overview of the pre-set programs you'll get depending on whether you get the Ninja AMZ012BL or the Ninja CT682SP:

The precision processor attachment can be used to chop foods and to make purees, sauces, dough, and dips.
Auto-Spiralizer Blades
One of the most exciting features of both the Ninja 4-in-1 Kitchen System AMZ012BL and the Ninja CT682SP Intelli-Sense Kitchen System is the auto-spiralizer attachment, which allows you to turn firm vegetables like zucchini, carrots and sweet potatoes into healthy low-carb "pasta" in a matter of seconds. At the writing of this review, the Ninja AMZ012BL comes with 3 different spiralizer blades, whereas the Ninja CT682SP is sold with 2 interchangeable spiralizer blades:

Intelli-Sense Technology
The Ninja CT682SP Kitchen System uses convenient "Intelli-sense" technology which means that the system recognizes which container is attached to the base, and it automatically changes the program selection based on the container that is attached. The Ninja 4-in-1 Kitchen System AMZ012BL, by contrast, does not use this technology.
Price Differences
With a powerful 1200-watt motor and exceptional functionality, both the Ninja CT682SP come with significant price tags. Therefore, when deciding whether to get the Ninja 4-in-1 Kitchen System AMZ012BL or the Ninja CT682SP Intelli-Sense Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer, price is likely to play at least some part in your decision making.
