Our Verdict

Vitamix Alta Pro

nutribullet Turbo

The Vitamix Alta Pro is a better blender than the nutribullet Turbo for most people. The nutribullet is a personal blender that excels at making smoothies, but it doesn't offer much utility beyond that. The Vitamix, on the other hand, is a full-size blender that also makes impressive smoothies, but offers a range of other uses, too. It can crush ice, hot blend, and while it's not an easy process, it makes smoother nut butter. It's also sturdier, and as a full-size model, it has a much larger capacity. Of course, if you mainly want to make single-serve smoothies, you may still want the nutribullet. It's cheaper, a bit quieter, and while it doesn't make as smooth a blend, processing small amounts of fibrous ingredients is easier.
