NUTRIBULLET 600 SERIES BLENDER
Size: 33cm x 17cm x 30cm (H x W x D) Capacity: 700ml
Power: 600W
Key features: ● Sleek and simple design ● Short and tall cups that double up as blending jugs ● Includes a ‘pocket nutritionist’ with recipes
The low down: The NutriBullet has become a cult classic in recent years thanks to its intuitive functionality and slim, sleek design. It’s designed to give you a quick blast of healthy food with smoothies and juices, but it can also chop vegetables, make sauces, purées and breadcrumbs and, once the ingredients are cooled, blend deliciously smooth soups.
What sets this model apart is the way users turn on the blender. Whereas most food processors use dials or buttons to set off the blades, the Nutribullet requires users to press down, turn and lock the bottle/blender jug in place. There are no speed settings, pre-set functions or timed blends so you’ll need to keep an eye on things but the efficient NutriBullet 600 only takes around 30 seconds to whiz up your fave fruit and veg.
For a no-fuss blender, that can be easily tucked away, the NutriBullet 600 is ideal, and it’s not too loud either.
The cups are dishwasher safe but you’ll need to handwash the blades.
Size: 30cm x 9.5cm x 10.5cm (H x W x D) Capacity: 450ml
Power: 10W
Key features: ● Cordless with USB charging ● Small size is ideal for single smoothies, salsas and dips ● Blending jug doubles up as a cup
The low down: If you’re a keen picnicker or camper, or you just prefer a wire-free countertop, the Cuisinart Cordless On-TheGo blender is made for you. Thanks to its cordless design, you can take the blender with you and whip up fresh drinks and condiments wherever you fancy.
On a full charge, it can work continuously for 20 minutes, which is plenty of time to mix multiple batches of smoothies, juices and sauces. After you’ve finished with your blends, use the USB charging lead to get the batteries full again, which should take around 120 minutes.
Due to the lower wattage and petite size, this model is best suited for soft fruit and veg and it also makes a mean milkshake. It can also blend frozen fruit and it crushes ice to a lovely fine consistency so it’s great for frozen cocktails. You can make small batches of ingredients for soup too, just wait for the ingredients to cool down first.
To clean, the jug can go in the dishwasher while the blades need to be hand washed.
