The NutriBullet Pro is a personal blender with two 32-ounce main jars that are ideal for making single-serve smoothies. It can make a silky, well-blended smoothie, and it doesn't have any issues incorporating fibrous ingredients like kale into the blend. There are even two to-go lids so you can bring your drink on-the-go. It comes in lots of different colors, so you can easily find a style that matches your kitchen decor. However, it isn't very versatile, as it can't hot blend or crush ice. Only the to-go lids and the jars are top-rack dishwasher-safe, so you have to hand wash the lid with the blade assembly.
Our Verdict
The NutriBullet Pro is disappointing for multi-purpose use. It can't crush ice or hot blend ingredients, and it takes a bit of time to make sticky, spreadable almond butter. It's decently easy to wash by hand, but stickier ingredients like nut butter tend to get stuck in the lid. The jars and the to-go lids are top-rack dishwasher-safe, but you'll need to hand wash the lid with the blade assembly. On the upside, it's exceptional for making smoothies.

The NutriBullet Pro is decent for smoothies and protein shakes. It can easily make a well-blended, silky smoothie, and it doesn't have any trouble incorporating leafy greens like kale. The 32-ounce jars are ideal for single serves, and it even comes with two to-go lids that make it easy to bring your smoothie on the go. It's easy to clean up by hand, and you can even put the jar in the top rack of your dishwasher. Unfortunately, this blender doesn't crush ice, which may be disappointing if you like to put ice in your smoothies.

The NutriBullet Pro isn't meant to crush ice, according to its manual.
The NutriBullet Pro can't hot blend, so it isn't suitable for making soups.
The NutriBullet Pro is sub-par for professional use. This blender doesn't have the most durable build, and its 32-ounce jars aren't ideal for making large batches to feed multiple people. It can't crush ice or hot blend, either. However, it's outstanding at making smoothies, and it's pretty easy to clean. You can even wash the jars and the to-go lids in the top rack of your dishwasher.

The NutriBullet Pro is a compact personal blender. While it's slightly larger than the BELLA Rocket Blender, it can still be stored on your kitchen counter or in a cupboard without taking up a lot of space. You can even remove the jar from the motor base to make it easier to store.
The NutriBullet Pro has a decent build quality. The jar and lid are made of plastic, which feels solid, but it isn't very thick and may not be able to withstand a lot of accidental drops. The motor base is made of aluminum and sits on a plastic base, and these materials also don't feel the most durable.
The NutriBullet Pro's main jar has a 32-ounce capacity that's suitable for personal use. The jar and the to-go lids can be washed in the top rack of your dishwasher, but according to the manual, you should never wash them using the 'Sanitize' cycle.
This blender has an additional 32-ounce personal jar that's identical to the main jar. It's also top-rack dishwasher-safe, but according to the manual, you should never wash it using the 'Sanitize' cycle.
This blender has six dull blades. They aren't removable, and they should only be hand-washed. If you're looking for a bullet-style blender with dishwasher-safe blades, you may prefer the Ninja Nutri-Blender Plus.
The blades are attached to the lid, which screws on the jar for a tight seal. It needs to be hand-washed. This blender also comes with two to-go lids with a covered spout, which screw on the jar. The to-go lids are top-rack dishwasher-safe, but according to the manual, you should never wash them using the 'Sanitize' cycle.
The power cord is long enough to reach most outlets. Unfortunately, there isn't a stowaway compartment to store the cord when it isn't in use.

Update 10/08/2020: We updated the Pulse/Turbo Mode score to Yes. Though it's not mentioned in the manual or on the manufacturer's website, pushing down on the jar and twisting in short bursts simulates a pulse mode.
This blender doesn't have a control panel as there's only one speed. Like the NutriBullet PRO 1000, you have to twist the jar into place to start the blender. Note that the manufacturer recommends that you run the blender for one minute at a time, then let it cool down for another minute before starting it up again. For three consecutive cycles, you should let the blender cool down for two to three minutes before starting it up again to prevent overheating. For a blender with a dedicated and easy-to-use pulse mode, check out the Magic Bullet Mini.
It's decent for almond butter. It makes sticky, spreadable butter without any unprocessed chunks. Per the manufacturer's recommendation, you should stop the blender after a minute and let it cool down for a minute before starting it back up again. While the blender's stopped, you may need to use a spatula to mix in unprocessed chunks so they incorporate into the blend. It can get a little messy when you have to unscrew the lid and blade assembly from the jar and some of the contents call fall out, which is inconvenient. If you're looking for a personal blender that makes even better almond butter, consider the Ninja Foodi Power Nutri DUO.
The NutriBullet Pro is outstanding for smoothies. It doesn't perform quite as well as the NutriBullet Pro+, but it still blends a fairly thick, well-blended smoothie. It can successfully incorporate leafy greens like kale, but like the NutriBullet PRO 1000, you may need to shake the jar to get the kale fully blended.
Update 08/31/2020: Updated the Smoothie (Other Jar) score from 0 to 9 to better reflect that we expect the additional jar to perform the same way as the main jar for this test since they are identical.
This blender comes with a 32-ounce additional jar. As it's identical to the main jar, we expect similar results.
The NutriBullet Pro isn't intended for crushing ice according to its manual. If you want a personal blender that can crush ice, consider the Oster MyBlend or the Ninja Nutri Ninja Pro instead.
The NutriBullet Pro is very straightforward, and it doesn't have any additional programs or modes.
This blender is decently easy to clean. Liquid messes like smoothies can be easily cleaned with soap and warm water. However, stickier messes like nut butter tend to get stuck in the grooves on the bottom of the lid, so you may need to use a sponge and a brush to clean them properly. The cups and the lids are also top-rack dishwasher-safe. However, it's not as easy to clean by hand as the Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender or the Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro with Auto-iQ.
The NutriBullet Pro doesn't come with a lot of extra features. It comes with an additional 32-ounce personal jar so you can bring smoothies on-the-go. However, you can't use this blender to hot blend soups or sauces.
Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The NutriBullet Pro comes in a variety of different colors. You can buy a 9-piece set or a 13-piece set, which comes with additional lids and lip rings. Note that some vendors sell the 9-piece set without a recipe book and with a slightly smaller additional jar. We tested the 13-piece Silver model, but we expect the other variants to perform similarly. If you come across a different variant, let us know in the discussion section below so that we can update our review.

The KitchenAid is also better-built, and some users may prefer that it can make larger batches.
