NutriBulletUltra Personal Blender NB50500, 32 oz, Gray

My NutriBullet Select finally died after 10+ years of daily use. This replacement does not disappoint! I was hesitant to not have a knob control but the lightup touch controls seem fine and the unit is much quieter and powerful than its predecessor. Very happy with this unit. Smoothie lovers will be thrilled with the powerful blending of frozen fruit and ice .

Putting leaves in first as the instructions recommend is kind of sus because they won’t always fall and you wind up having to shake it. That’s honestly my only complaint. This is the easiest to clean blender I’ve ever used, and it’s not even close. It feels sturdy and high-quality. It doesn’t get that burning plastic/electric smell some older blenders get when running too long. It’s about as loud as I expected, and it did a great job liquifying spinach in water. Favorite recipe: handful of spinach, handful of kale, 1/2 cup frozen mango from bag, 1/2 cup frozen pineapple from bag, bit of fresh ginger root (like two US quarters stacked on top - MAKE SURE TO REMOVE THE SKIN it’s super stringy and not good), tablespoon of chia seeds, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup of water or coconut water. It’s healthy, not too sweet, and can be supplemented with Greek yogurt as needed.It comes with 3 containers but only 2 lids which was odd to me until I realized that if I already had two smoothies and made more, the “more” would be for storage. Still, that’s my only gripe. Using it daily and love it. Would buy again. Cannot stress enough that it’s insanely easy to clean.

The Nutribullet Ultra blends protein smoothies really well. I have been using Nutribullets for years for my daily shakes. They usually last me a year or two before I start having issues. I blend yogurt, greens and water first to really break down the kale (otherwise I end up with chunks of kale) and then I add protein powder and frozen fruit and give it another blast with the blender. I don't need to do it in two steps anymore. I throw everything in the cup, do one blast of the 30 second cycle, and my smoothie/shake is perfect. I like the way the cup sits in the blender much more with newer version. An easy twist, click and the buttons light up on the front of the unit to let you know you are locked in and ready to blend. This unit is also more quiet than my previous models. I'm super pleased with my purchase.

I had a 600 watt NutriBullet that needed to be replaced. I hesitated on buying a new one because my old one leaked and I didn't want that experience again. I took my old one apart only to find out the leak wasn't causing it not to work, but a plastic part was broken not allowing it to turn on. I bought the Ultra model and I couldn't be happier. It is a huge improvement over the 600 and 900 watt models. Most importantly, this upgraded version is built with a seal so nothing can drip into the motor area. I love the auto shut off after 30 seconds. It is easier to use, a much superior product and blends perfectly. I also was surprised at how much I appreciate the suction cup feet. Brilliant improvement. I use it a lot for vinaigrettes and every speck of cilantro, garlic, and ginger gets blended. Smoothies come out perfectly. I find myself using it way more than my old one because it works so well. If I just need to blend a small amount of something it actually works better than my Vitamix. Absolutely no leakage. I put the plastic mixing cups in the dishwasher and hand wash the blade. I'm very satisfied and highly recommend. If you are looking for an upgrade in quality or questioning if it is worth the price don't hesitate, it is.

I previously owned the 600W version and used it semi-daily for breakfast smoothies of milk, yogurt, peanut butter, oats, and frozen berries. It failed after almost 4 years, so i upgraded to this 1200W model. More power can't hurt right?I love the pulse setting. And I like the button operation over the 600W's buttonless design. The double power is impressive; this thing pulverizes ingredients. However, it is quite loud. The 600W version was far from silent, but I didn't feel like I needed to point one ear away from the thing and hold my hand over the other ear just to run it. The 1200W version advertises that it uses sound dampening technology. Whatever tech is implemented does not offset the 2x power.I should have stayed with the lower power version. Personally, I do not need a super smooth blend, and I never blend ice. If you're like me, opt for the lower power option and save some money and your ears.4 stars for impressive design and power. -1 for waking the dead.

NICE machine! The powerful motor blends my soft nugget ice and frozen fruits with ease. The smoothest smoothies and pina coladas - my two most favorite things in the world! The extra horsepower on this model coupled with the ice-crushing titanium blades had me sold. That combination does the job!
