All six picks are blenders, but the brand’s range reaches beyond blending to a portable cup, a baby-food system, a full-size combo, and the NutriBullet Juicer Pro (NBJ50200), a 1000W centrifugal juicer rather than a blender. Its 27-ounce sealing pitcher and three speeds plus turbo make it the fast, budget-friendly route to fresh juice, beside the slower masticating NBJ50300. Answer the five questions below and the right model falls out.
Motor power: 600W to 1200W
The model number is the wattage: the Pro 900 has 900 watts, the Ultra 1200. The original 600-watt model still anchors the range; it handles soft fruit but strains on back-to-back batches and leaves frozen banana chunks, so skip it for frozen smoothies. Go 900 to 1200 watts for frozen fruit and dependable ice. Combos push to 1400 and 1500 watts to drive pitchers and processors; the Baby’s 200 watts suits cooked purees, and the Flip trades wattage for portability.
Cup capacity and accessories
NutriBullet cups come in 18-, 24-, and 32-ounce sizes, all BPA-free. Higher-capacity models ship with the 32-ounce cup, which fits a full smoothie; the 24-ounce suits smaller drinks, and the 18-ounce handles shots and dressings. Check the box before you buy: bundles vary by edition, and the Pro 900’s official bundle lists two 32-ounce cups, while some retailers ship a 32-ounce with a 24-ounce.
Speed and preset settings
Every NutriBullet pulses, and that’s the core of the system. The Ultra adds a 30-second automated smoothie cycle, the SmartSense adjusts speed and time to the load, and the Triple Prep lights presets per attachment, from Purée and Nutmilk to Chop and Dough. Press-and-go mornings favor the automated models; manual types have high, medium, low, and pulse.
Noise level
NutriBullets generally run about as loud as a hair dryer, so none are silent. The relative scale: the Flip is quietest thanks to its brushless motor, the Ultra is the brand’s quietest single-serve (still loud in absolute terms), and the SmartSense is very loud on high settings. Combos run quieter than comparable Ninja machines; see our best Ninja blender guide.
Cleaning and durability
Most cups and pitchers are top-rack dishwasher safe, but blades and gaskets are not: twist them off and hand-wash, and wipe the base rather than submerging it. The brand recommends replacing the blade twice a year; a subscription delivers a fresh one every six months. Every model carries a 1-year limited warranty, and the Ultra’s blade extends to 5 years; see the official warranty page.
