The nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo is a full-size blender with a 64oz pitcher, a 24oz personal jar with a handle, and a 34oz personal jar. It offers a wider range of speed settings than other nutribullet blenders, and its 'SmartSense' blending program allows it to blend automatically. It also stands out from other nutribullet blenders for its retro-style display.

Our Verdict

0.0
Multi-Purpose 

The nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo is alright for multi-purpose use. It's well-built and comes with a large-capacity 64oz pitcher for multiple servings as well as 32 and 24oz personal jars for single-serves. It makes a smooth blend with fibrous ingredients and can hot blend. However, it's not the most versatile blender, since it's not meant for crushing ice and struggles with thicker recipes like nut butter.

Pros
  • Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.

  • Personal jars included.

  • Large capacity 64oz pitcher.

  • Hot blends.

Cons
  • Pretty loud.

  • Can't crush ice.

  • Bad for nut butter.

0.0
Smoothies (Single Serving) 

The nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo is good for single-serve smoothies. It comes with 32 and 24oz personal jars suitable for single-serve smoothies. It quickly makes a mostly smooth blend with small batches of fibrous ingredients, so recipes with leafy greens or fruit come out smooth. Some blenders can make an even smoother blend, however.

Pros
  • Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.

  • Personal jars included.

Cons
  • Pretty loud.

  • Can't crush ice.

0.0
Smoothies (Multiple Servings) 

The nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo is very good for multiple servings of smoothies. Its 64oz pitcher can fit a big batch of smoothies and produces a very smooth blend with fibrous ingredients at full capacity. However, some blenders can make a big batch of smoothies much faster.

Pros
  • Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.

  • Large capacity 64oz pitcher.

Cons
  • Pretty loud.

  • Can't crush ice.

0.0
Ice Crushing 

The nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo isn't suitable for crushing ice.

Pros
None
Cons
  • Pretty loud.

  • Can't crush ice.

0.0
Soups 

The nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo is fantastic for soups. It can hot blend in its 64oz pitcher, which is big enough to blend a full recipe in one batch. It makes a mostly smooth blend with fibrous ingredients like kale and broccoli. However, some blenders can blend soup much faster.

Pros
  • Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.

  • Large capacity 64oz pitcher.

  • Hot blends.

Cons
  • Pretty loud.

0.0
Professional Use 

The nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo is mediocre for professional use. Although it's well-built, it's noisy and not very versatile. It makes a smooth blend with fibrous ingredients in small and large batches but isn't meant for crushing ice. It also really struggles with thicker recipes like nut butter or hummus.

Pros
  • Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients.

Cons
  • Pretty loud.

  • Can't crush ice.

  • Bad for nut butter.

    1.  Updated Feb 20, 2026: We converted this review to Test Bench 1.0.1. We've added a result for Portable in the Dimensions section to indicate whether the blender has a built-in battery for cordless use.
    2.  Updated Apr 29, 2025: 

      We've mentioned the Chefman Obliterator in the Crushed Ice box because, unlike this blender, it can be used to crush ice.

    Popular Blender Comparisons

    The nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo is similar to other full-size blenders from the brand since it comes with a 64oz jar and a pair of personal jars and works best for smoothies, just like the nutribullet Blender Combo and nutribullet Smart Touch Blender Combo. It performs similarly but has a 'SmartSense' blending program for automatic blending. Like most nutribullet blenders, it can't crush ice without liquid in the jar. If you want a similar blender that can crush ice, the Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro has a similar design and makes snow-like crushed ice. However, unlike the nutribullet, it can't hot blend.

    If you're looking for a recommendation, check out the best blenders for ice crushing, the best blenders for smoothies, and the best blenders.

    nutribullet Blender Combo

    Track

    The nutribullet Blender Combo and the nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo are similar. Both include a 64oz jar as well as personal jars and are well-suited for smoothies. The SmartSense is newer and has a digital display with a retro, dotted look. It also offers a wider range of speed settings, although both blenders perform similarly.

    nutribullet Smart Touch Blender Combo

    Track

    The nutribullet Smart Touch Blender Combo and the nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo are very similar. Both include large-capacity pitchers and personal jars and are well-suited for smoothies. The Smart Touch has four blending programs, while the SmartSense has one automatic blending program.

    Ninja Professional Plus Blender DUO with Auto-iQ

    Track

    The Ninja Professional Plus Blender DUO with Auto-iQ and the nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo are both full-size blenders that include personal jars. The Ninja only comes with one personal jar in addition to its 72oz main pitcher, but it can crush ice and make nut butter, unlike the nutribullet. The nutribullet comes with a pair of personal jars and makes a smoother blend with big batches of fibrous ingredients, making it less versatile but better for multiple servings of smoothies. It can also hot blend.

    Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro

    Track

    The Ninja Detect Duo Power Blender Pro and the nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo are both full-size blenders that come with a large pitcher and smaller personal jars. They're both well-suited for smoothies, but the Ninja can also crush ice and make nut butter. The nutribullet does a better job of blending fibrous ingredients at full capacity, so it's better for making multiple servings of smoothies.
