NutriBullet Pro Blender Review

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.

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.

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.

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.
