The Magic Bullet has the same push-to-blend operation as most similar models, but you can also twist the cup to lock it in place with the motor running. The cups and lids can all go in the dishwasher. Given the budget price, we worried that sticky juice would leak out into the base, but the screw-on blade kept everything contained and was simple to rinse off. We were truly impressed with this machine's cleanability - one of our testers, who's worked as a barista and at a smoothie shop, called it the easiest blender she's ever had to wash. The larger vessels are a good size for a breakfast smoothie, though the short cup is only big enough for a sauce - say, a few servings of pesto. The set includes a short cup, tall cup, and handled mug, plus lip rings, a to-go lid, and flad sealing lids so you can store contents in the fridge for later. The Magic Bullet may be cheap in cost and tiny in size, but it's a complete personal-blending system that outperformed a lot of its pricier competitors in our testing. It's somewhat underpowered and had trouble blending frozen fruit. It's also rather small, at just 16 ounces, though anything much bigger would interfere with it being portable.ĭimensions: 3.26 x 3.26 x 10.64 inches | Weight: 1.2 pounds | Power: 70 watts | Capacity: 16 ounces

The jar and sipping lid come off the blades for cleaning (they're dishwasher-safe), but there's nothing to cover the bottom of the jar and turn it into a travel cup. The portable functionality is very impressive, but you have to carry the blending base around with this model. It struggled at first, but it helped to add a little extra liquid - juice for a smoothie and oil for pesto - than we did with other models. It can run up to 30 blending sessions on a single charge, and despite its 70-watt motor, it was able to make a smooth puree in all of our tests. This blender's cordless battery lets you fill it with ingredients and then throw it in a soft cooler bag to blend fresh at work, at a potluck, or the beach. It needed more liquid than other models to blend thoroughly, and you can't carry the jar separately from the base. With that said, there are lots of Nutribullet accessories you can buy separately, including 18- and 24-ounce cups.ĭimensions: 12.01 x 7.72 x 15.94 inches | Weight: 4.7 pounds | Power: 900 watts | Includes: 2 (32-ounce) cups, 2 lip rings, 2 handled lip rings, 2 to-go lids

The huge cups are nice, but it's a bit disappointing you don't get any options for smaller servings that might fit better in a car cup holder. It’s probably best to carry them upright instead of tossing them in a backpack or gym bag. (Fear not, small-handed readers: You also get screw-on lip rings with attached handles for easy holding.) Flip-top lids allow you to protect and enjoy your beverage on the go, though ours did dribble a bit when tipped over. This blender comes with two 32-ounce cups, big enough for really hearty servings but still hoistable with one hand. It earned perfect scores across all categories, with a 900-watt motor that had no trouble crushing ice and frozen fruit or blending kale and blueberries into a smooth mix with virtually no bits of leaf or skin. It was tough to pick a single favorite, but we decided the Pro 900 offers the best balance of price and performance.

We've tested all six personal blender models Nutribullet makes, and they're all top contenders. It only comes with extra-large cups that are less portable, and the lids didn't make a perfect seal.
