nutribullet Portable Blender, Cordless, 20oz Vessel, Personal Blender, USB-C Rechargeable, Black, NBPB50100K

Works well! Great for my morning smoothies.

I bought this portable NutriBullet for healthy meals on the go while working at the hospital, so I can easily store it in my locker. I already own the regular-sized NutriBullet, which has been fantastic and durable, so I thought I’d give the portable version a try. I tested it out at home before bringing it to work—thankfully, because I found that it doesn't blend fresh fruit as well as I hoped. I followed the instructions and chopped my four small strawberries into tiny pieces, but it still left chunks, and even struggled with blending a single ice cube.However, it works great with liquids and protein powders. I typically use almond milk or reduced-fat milk with "Just Ingredients" protein powder as well as the Fit PB powder. All in all, I think it’s still a solid purchase. It’ll be super convenient for making healthy shakes at work and is easy to use in the break room. I also love how much quieter it is than I expected and how simple it is to clean. Definitely a handy addition to my daily routine!

Fabulous. Perfect for so many things!

I had really high hopes for this blender. We make smoothies with our traditional NutriBullet blender at home every day. I travel a lot, so I have been searching for a good portable blender to take on the road with me. Others I've tried were smaller and a little bit slow. I thought this larger name brand one would be ideal.Out of the box it appeared to be amazing. Construction seemed substantial, and it even looks cool. The instructions are clear and complete. I gave it a good charge and set out to test it on a simple banana smoothie:8 oz Mango juiceHalf a bananaA few slices of canned beetsA few chunks of frozen mangoSome chopped kaleA scoop of protein powderI was careful to keep it below the “Max” line on the cup. I powered it up and got a solid blue light, which indicates that it is good to go.When I started the blend it ran for about two seconds, chopping everything a bit, then stopped with the indicator light flashing red. I was thought it was just stuck on the banana, which is not exactly the kind of performance I was hoping for, but I thought I could clear it.Turning it over and shaking it, there was no obstruction around the blade. I gave it a few more tries with no luck. I emptied it and rinsed out all the debris, added water, and it still will not do anything but flash red. I let it sit for a couple of hours, and it still flashed red.I took it apart and fussed around with the alignment of the mark on the bottom, and after aligning it carefully and trying it several times it went blue and ran. I have not had a chance to try it under load again, because I’m heading out of town. I don’t feel like I can trust this blender so I’m leaving it behind for this trip. I’ll mess with it when I get back, and if the trouble clears up I’ll update my review. At this point, though, I have to consider it basically useless.

My wife loves this item. She's fasting. Excellent.

It works, eventually. I read the reviews before purchasing and saw that someone had the same issue I’m now having, where after starting the blender it immediately stops and the light turns red, and the blade won’t spin (as though it’s stuck on my frozen fruit). So the blender isn’t very powerful. I even made sure to put my ingredients in the suggested order per the instructions.All that said, it can make a smoothie. It’ll take more than 5 minutes to blend though.. closer to 10. Tonight I had a strawberry banana smoothie… I ended up discovering that if you shake the blender side to side the entire time it’s blending, it won’t stop as frequently. But if I leave it sitting on the counter, it won’t blend nearly the entire smoothie at all.I would have to try using completely non-frozen ingredients, raw but still cold fruits… but that makes more of a puree than a smoothie I’m assuming, and I’ve never been a fan of ice in my smoothies (rely on frozen fruit).Anyway- I’ve never had this kind of issue with a blender before. It honestly is helping me control my anger issues, kind of like exposure therapy I guess (haha). I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed. But I knew the risks, I always read reviews. Still thought I’d give it a go. And perhaps for travel purposes, I could use it in a hotel or something.But it is glass, so I’m honestly not tryna just throw it in my bag on the go.Man now I wanna give it 2 stars. I just think any on the go type blender should not be glass. But it’s a cute lil thing and it can get the job done. I’ll give it 3 stars. But note that this little blender could easily become your enemy if you are expecting it to be a professional.If you want a blender that is quick and easy, do not get this one :)

Me encantó, super práctica, fácil de lavar

This blends well but I wouldn’t take it anywhere. It’s not heavy but not light either. Feel like it could be easily damaged. However, I do like it for smoothies and used it to blend up almonds to makes almond milk and flour with…
