Our Verdict

nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo

nutribullet Power Core

The nutribullet Power Core and the nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo are both full-size nutribullet blenders, but they suit different needs. The Power Core has a larger 72-ounce jar, making it the better choice if you're regularly blending for a group. The SmartSense comes with a 64-ounce pitcher plus two personal jars, so it offers more flexibility in terms of batch size. The SmartSense also includes more speed settings and a tamper, which gives you a bit more control during blending. Both allow you to hot blend, but neither blender can crush ice.
