Our Verdict

nutribullet Portable

nutribullet Flex

The nutribullet Flex and the nutribullet Portable offer similar overall performance, with each model having its own strengths. The Portable is slightly lighter and has a superior build quality. It fares much better when blending large quantities of ingredients and produces higher-quality crushed ice. The Flex, on the other hand, has a larger capacity and is much easier to clean because of its removable blades. It's also significantly quieter.
