Nutribullet Pro 900

The Nutribullet Pro 900 is the personal-blender benchmark in the UK and our pick for anyone whose routine is a single smoothie or shake at a time. Its 900W motor and cyclonic extractor blades break down frozen fruit, ice and softer veg into a smooth drink, and because you blend straight into the supplied to-go cup, cleanup is minimal. It is far more limited than the full-size picks above: there are no programs or speed settings (you press and twist), no jug for batches and no hot-soup function, so it is a specialist rather than an all-rounder. Against the Ninja go-cup system above, you give up the family jug, the programs and outright power, but gain a smaller footprint and a lower price. Very tough or fibrous loads can need a shake and re-blend.
