While full-size blenders like the Vitamix 5200 can do it all, they can take time to assemble and clean, which feels unnecessary if you just want a quick, on-the-go smoothie. That’s where the personal blender comes in. It comes together with a simple twist of a cup. After testing 19 of them for power, usability, and durability, we found the Nutribullet Ultra personal blender to be efficient, wicked fast, and powerful. For Amazon Prime Day, it’s 23% off.

Nutribullet Ultra Personal Blender

Why It Won Our Review

In our tests, the Nutribullet Ultra wowed us with its powerful motor that shredded a kale and mango smoothie in a mere 20 seconds. The 32-ounce blending cup was the largest one we tested and was capable of holding multiple servings. Given the cup’s size, we didn’t have to spend time squishing down ingredients before blending. It was also easy to twist the extractor blade lid on and off without fear of spilling (sadly, we couldn’t say the same for squat cups).

Notably, the Nutribullet Ultra has a small footprint and a sleek gray exterior. It’s also straightforward to use, with two buttons: one for an automated smoothie cycle and a manual option. For taking your smoothies to-go, the Ultra also includes two travel lids. All this to say: You can see why we were excited to find the Nutribullet Ultra $30-plus off for Prime Day.
