NutriBullet Buying Guide: Which NutriBullet Should I Buy?

There’s no doubt NutriBullet makes some of the best blenders around. From personal blenders for smoothies on the go to full-on food processing kits, there’s a NutriBullet for every need and budget. But how do you know which NutriBullet is best for you – and ultimately, which NutriBullet to buy?
How do NutriBullets work?
When your NutriBullet is turned on, the fast-spinning extractor blades create a vortex of liquid and air inside the blending cup, sucking ingredients downwards towards the blade while ingredients at the bottom of the cup are pushed out and up. The ingredients continue to circulate, getting blitzed as they go, until you stop the machine.
Sounds confusing? Don’t worry, the best NutriBullet personal blenders are infamously easy to use. Simply put your ingredients into the blending cup, then twist and click into the base of the machine. When the cup is locked into place, the nutrient extraction begins automatically and stops when you unlock the cup from the base. The larger NutriBullet blenders are controlled using buttons or a touchscreen.
What can I make with a NutriBullet?
The NutriBullet is one of the best blenders for smoothies, of course, but there’s so much more you can do with these clever appliances. Most models will also create milkshakes, cocktails, frappes and punch, emulsify salad dressings and sauces, and – using the milling blade – grind coffee beans, herbs and seeds, mill grains and spices, and chop nuts. You can also puree soft fruits, cooked vegetables and, in models featuring a vented lid, blitz warm soups. Healthy dips like hummus and baba ganoush are super easy to make, or why not whip up some delicious homemade nut butters.
What are the different types of NutriBullet?
Picking out the best NutriBullet from a line-up is tough because it really comes down to what you plan to use it for. Let’s take a closer look at the different options so you can decide which is the best NutriBullet to buy for your needs.
NutriBullet Baby Bullet Blender
Hands down the cutest in the NutriBullet range, this quick and easy pureeing appliance is perfect for getting bubs all the nutrition they need. Plus, the six perfectly portioned batch cups make healthy eating on the go simple, and the dishwasher-safe parts make life a whole lot easier. It also comes with a baby weaning guide.
NutriBullet 900W Mega Pack
This is the O.G personal blender, and with change from a hundred dollars, this is one of the best value blenders for smoothies out there. With a powerful 900 watts, it makes fast work of everything from strawberries to spinach, giving you a nutrient-packed drink in 60 seconds or less and it’s easy to use with its push-twist-blend design. While it will crush ice and blitz nuts, it’ll only do so if there’s enough liquid in the cup, so not the top pick if making nut butter is top of your priority list. With the milling blade it can dry process coffee beans, seeds and dried herbs, and can chop nuts. It’s perfect for smoothies as well as things like salad dressings, salsa and pureeing baby food (with liquid added).
NutriBullet 1000W Personal Blender
Want more power? Try the 1000-watt option for size. It’s similar to the NutriBullet 900W in design and functionality, but with a gutsier motor, it can tackle a few more tasks, whipping up silky soft smoothies, of course, as well as grinding coffee beans and spices. However, despite the extra power, it still struggles with processing ice unless you add plenty of liquid.
NutriBullet Select 1200
Moving out of ‘personal blender’ territory, the NutriBullet Select features three different speed settings, giving you more control over your blend. It’s a great option for smoothies, but also comes with a vented pitcher for blending warm liquids, making it a fantastic pick for soups – the perfect healthy winter dish. The Select makes light work of firm ingredients (think carrot, pineapple, kale and even seeds like flax seeds and chia). However, once again, you’ll need to add liquid if you want to properly blitz frozen ingredients and ice.
NutriBullet Blender Combo
The NutriBullet Blender Combo can do everything its smaller counterparts can, and then some. With more power (1200 watts, for anyone counting) and a larger capacity, it’s the pick of the bunch for family-sized batches of yummy, healthy food. It features a vented lid, meaning you can whip up soup for the whole household in the pitcher and serve straight away, or make smoothies for the whole tribe in one go come morning. It’s also a great pick for whipping up dips and even nut butter (though you’ll need to add some extra oil).
NutriBullet Smart Touch Blender Combo
With its 1500-watt motor, this Smart Touch Blender is all about power. And it’s smart, too, with a touchscreen base that detects whether you’re using the jug or single-serve cup attachment and offers up the right pre-set program for the job. It offers various speed settings, plus has a pulse function and pre-set settings so you don’t have to think – just touch and go. The high-capacity pitcher is ventilated for warm liquid and while it will crush ice (hello, margarita Mondays!), you’ll need to add oil to blend a beautiful nut butter, as with previous models.
So which is the best NutriBullet to buy?
It really comes down to your personal needs, but if you’re looking for a great quality, easy-to-use, easy-to-clean, no-fuss smoothie maker, the NutriBullet 900W Mega Pack is a popular pick. You can’t beat the price and you’ll be sipping your way to health in no time!
