I recently pitted Ninja against Nutribullet, and the latter stood out to me for its balance of affordability, power and convenience. They’ve got something for every lifestyle – even baby food blenders and fresh-press juicers.
After testing the latest Nutribullet models in my kitchen and compiling the year's notes from my team of product testers (who have reviewed over 40 NutriBullet products so far!), I've selected the top six from the range.
From soup winners to smoothie upgrades, all the Nutribullet blenders on this list excelled in our rigorous testing process, so you’re bound to be satisfied with whichever one you choose.
The Quick List
If you haven't got time for all the detail, these are the best Nutribullet blenders on the market. We go into more specifics further down.
If you're looking to blend healthy smoothies for one or two people, this NutriBullet is super easy to use and brilliant at blending frozen fruit and leafy greens. It's a classic.
A newer, more powerful version of the Nutribullet 900 with increased 1200 wattage and light-up buttons. It whips smoothies and hummus slightly faster than its predecessor, and excels on crushing ice – but it's a tad noisier.
This smart blender can automatically detect your ingredients and adjust the pace of your blend, whizzing creamy smoothies or soups for the whole family. The price is surprisingly affordable. It struggles on dry dips, like hummus, but excels when there's liquid involved.
The NutriBullet Juicer Pro is large and noisy, but it's a brilliant for easy cleaning and effortlessly juicing tricky ingredients. If you put up with the whirring for a few minutes, you can enjoy delicious green juices, orange juice and even zingy, fresh ginger shots.
Small enough to pop in your backpack or handbag, this afforable mini blender is a good choice for gym bunnies, students or office workers who want to stay nourished and energised on the go. However, it does lack power and it's often out of stock.
If you want to chop, shred, dice, as well as blend, this is the appliance for you. This kitchen system is sleek and smart, with a lot of power and huge capacity. We rated it 5 stars. Make some room in your cupboards, this one is totally worth it.
Which Nutribullet should you buy?
Look no further, these are the best Nutribullet blenders of 2024.
Best for smoothies
Why it's great: This sleek, smart design is perfect for smoothies, shakes, sauces and more. The blending is smooth and seamless; the extra powerful 900W motor can power through frozen fruit and leafy greens in an instant.
What we didn't like: It's not very effective on chunky nuts and solid ingredients, but for a blender capable of this you will have to spend a lot more money. For the price, you will struggle to find a more powerful option.
Who it’s for: Everyday smoothie drinkers who want a powerful blender without taking up much counter space. You can snap on a drinking lid to the jug, which is perfect for taking to the gym. A great choice for choice if you're active or trying to be a little healthier.
Notes from the test kitchen: Our head of reviews and cooking expert Millie Fender says: 'We put the NutriBullet Pro 900 Series Blender to the test for over a month, making smoothies, soups, and even blitzing cauliflower to make cauliflower rice, to test its versatility and power. While it won't do the job of a family-sized blender, the quality of the blending is faultless. If you want a blender to make perfect smoothies, protein shakes, and refreshing drinks with crushed ice, it's an excellent choice.'

Best upgrade buy
Why it’s great: The Ultra is Nutribullet's most powerful, personal blender on the market. It's speedy, touchscreen, and can tackle the tougher tasks that other bullet blenders can't. It's pretty perfect, but very loud.
What we didn't like: It's more expensive than the Pro 900, so you need to weigh up whether the enhancements are worth it for you. It's one to shop in the sales, if you're holding onto your purse strings.
Who it’s for: This is an upgrade pick for anyone who loves quick smoothies, protein shakes or crushed ice drinks (think frappuccinos or even frozen margaritas). It might not suit early-morning people or quiet spaces, since it's on the noisier side.
Notes from the test kitchen: Our expert tester, Laura, says 'if you want power and convenience, this is a great investment. The Nutribullet isn’t eye-wateringly expensive, but it’s the most expensive option on offer from Nutribullet. Compared to other blenders on the market, it’s a steal. Having used the Ultra, going back to my old Pro 900 felt like walking after you've been running: it felt slower and a lot simpler. It still does a good job of the tasks, but if you want the best of the best, you need this.'

Best for families
Why it’s great: The Nutribullet SmartSense blender is so simple to use. It feels durable, sturdy and modern – I loved the illuminated panel and the automatic 'smart sensor' that detects your ingredient load to deliver perfectly smooth results. At just $119, it’s an affordable option for families that doesn’t skimp on quality.
What we didn't like: On the higher settings, it can get very noisy. The hummus I made in this was pretty dry and lumpy – and tricky to clean around the plastic ridges at the bottom. The blender is on the larger side, so you'll need some cabinet space, especially with its single-serve cups.
Who's it for: Anyone who wants to blend big batches of smoothies on a budget. It struggles on dry dips and it can't blend crushed ice, so it's not one for frozen cocktail lovers.
Notes from the test kitchen: I've been testing this in my kitchen for a couple of weeks, and I don't want to see it go. Every morning, I've been making a big batch of kale, frozen mango and pineapple smoothie which was very creamy. However, I preferred using the pulse function to the auto-detect sensor – it gives much more control. Also, blending on higher speeds (like 5) can get noisy. My hummus test was a bit of a fail, but it you add plenty of liquid to the blend the Nutribullet can whizz very smooth results.

Best portable blender
Why it’s great: The Nutribullet portable blender combines a lightweight, ergonomic design with affordability. It comes in a variety of fun colors, from light blue to navy and magenta. Its battery life is capable of 15 blends per charge, so if you drink one smoothie a day – you only need to charge it every two weeks.
What we didn't like: At 16 oz, the capacity may be too small for some people and it's really not very powerful. You might prefer the Pro 900 or Ultra above, which are compatible with takeout lids for portability. Plus, this portable blender is often out of stock – so you might be better off with the other models anyway.
Who's it for: This blender is good for budget-conscious people, who enjoy simply berry smoothies and protein shakes. I always recommend it to gym bunnies, students or office workers who want easy nutrition on the go.
Notes from the test kitchen: We tested the Nutribullet with a range of ingredients, from soft fruits like bananas and strawberries to tougher ones like spinach, oats, and frozen berries. It blended soft ingredients with ease and handled frozen fruits well with the help of its pulse function, though a bit of shaking was needed for even results. It does struggle with ice, so it's not one for frozen shakes.

Best blender food processor combo
Why it's great: If you live in a large home and you've got a lot to do, the Nutribullet will become your best friend. The design integrates effortless blending and thorough food processing into one, sleek, smart appliance.
What we didn't like: Not much. Overall, this is a seriously impressive appliance. It's big, so only buy it if you've got the space and the demand for it. But if it sounds like the one for you, you'll be grateful you made the investment.
Who would it suit: Keen cooks and busy people who want to meal prep, batch cook or load up on healthy soups or smoothies.
Notes from the test kitchen: As a blender, this is a seriously good option. I recently tested it on making smoothies, soups, dips, and ice cones. Thanks to the sharp blades and powerful motor, it whizzed up consistently perfect results. I tested both the big, family-sized pitcher and the single-serve bullets. The beauty of having these options is that you can make drinks to take on the go, skipping washing up, but when you need it, you've got a big pitcher with a lot of capacity.
The food processor is similarly impressive. I chopped, shredded, and pureed effortlessly. The only place it slightly faltered was on smaller quantities. The food processor is so big that when I added one small onion, it rolled around and didn't get quite so thoroughly chopped. If you're looking for a gadget for small jobs, it might not be the one for you.
