NutriBullet Full Size Blender

A Winning Combination of Performance and Value

Summer’s approaching quickly, and what better way to cool down on a hot day than with a refreshing smoothie or frozen drink? Still, it can be tough to find a blender that can tackle any challenge, from perfect green smoothies to creamy almond butter, and doesn’t break the bank. To bring you the best blender that delivers not only in performance but also in functionality and price, we put seven inexpensive blenders through a gauntlet of tests. Many bags of ice and a few blown motors later, we found a blender that’s as high-powered as it is user-friendly, and for a limited time, it’s 20% off.

NutriBullet Full Size Blender

WINNER - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Tall and lightweight, with a generous 8-cup capacity, a comfortable handle, and very basic controls (Low, Medium, High, and Pulse), this powerful blender aced every challenge except for mayonnaise, where its low speed was simply too fast. It was a bit noisy, but it got the job done.

We maintain strict objectivity in all testing.*

How We Tested Blenders

Setting a cap of $100, we bought seven models, all priced from about $29 to about $99. We put all the models through a battery of tests that we’ve used to evaluate blenders many times, including pureeing raw kale and frozen fruit into smoothies, crushing ice, emulsifying mayonnaise, and grinding almonds into nut butter. We measured noise levels and stain and odor retention. We compared them with our favorite midpriced blender, the Breville Fresh & Furious (about $200), rating their performance as well as how easy they were to operate, handle, and clean.
