nutribullet® Full-Size Blender Combo Review: One Machine, Two Jobs

Buy it if you want one machine that handles both a big batch for the family and a single cup you can carry out the door. Skip it if you only ever blend for one person and want the smallest thing on the counter. The nutribullet® Full-Size Blender Combo is built around that split: a 64-oz pitcher for multi-serving work and two cups for single-serve, all running off one 1200-watt motor base.

The trade-off is counter space. The listing gives the unit dimensions as 7.75 L x 8.07 W x 16.97 H, so it stands 16.97 inches tall. If your cabinets are short or your counter is crowded, that height is the first thing you’ll notice, and it’s the reason some buyers should look at a smaller, single-purpose blender instead. Everyone else gets a machine that covers smoothies, soups, sauces and nut butters, ships with a tamper, two to-go lids and a recipe book, and carries a 1 year limited warranty. The sections below work through who it fits, what each part does, and where the listing leaves you to check for yourself.

Who Should Buy This Full-Size Blender Combo

The first buyer this suits is someone blending for more than one person. If you make a round of smoothies in the morning and everyone takes a glass, the 64-oz pitcher does that in one go instead of two or three separate cup runs. The listing calls it a multi-serving pitcher, and the vented lid cap means you can add ingredients mid-blend without pulling the whole lid off. That’s the buyer the combo was designed around: a household that drinks blended things regularly and doesn’t want to stand there refilling a small cup.

The second is the person who blends at two different scales. You might make a big batch of soup or sauce on the weekend and a single cup on a weekday, and the combo covers both without a second appliance. The 32-oz cup and the 24-oz handled cup are both included, along with two to-go lids. If you already own a small single-serve blender but keep hitting its ceiling on batch cooking, this replaces it rather than sitting next to it.

The third is the buyer who wants control rather than one button. Three precision speeds, a pulse function and the Extract program give you a range of settings, and pulse matters most for anything you want to stop before it turns to liquid — chopped nuts, coarse sauces, a soup you want textured. If you like adjusting as you go, that set of controls is the point.

Two buyers should walk away. If you blend one small portion a day and nothing else, the large pitcher and the travel cups are parts you’ll store and rarely touch, and the footprint stays on your counter either way. Look for a compact single-serve blender instead. And if you want a machine that crushes ice or grinds dry grain as its main job, the listing doesn’t present it that way — it names smoothies, soups, sauces and nut butters.

What This Blender Combo Does

This blender earns its place by covering four separate jobs from a single motor base, and the parts you get decide which of those jobs you can actually do.

Blending a full batch for several people

The full-size pitcher is the part that separates this from a single-serve blender. The listing gives it a lid and a vented lid cap, which means you can run a full pitcher and still drop in oil, liquid or seasoning partway through without stopping and re-sealing. For anyone cooking for a family, that’s the difference between one blend and three.

The pitcher is made of BPA-free high-performance plastic, per the listing, which keeps the weight down when it’s full. The 1200 watts drive the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade, described as stainless steel with cyclonic action. A tamper is included in the box.

For soups and sauces that’s rarely a problem, since you’re usually working in portions anyway.

Making one drink and taking it with you

The single-serve side is where this combo earns its keep on weekdays. You get a 32-oz cup and a 24-oz handled cup, and both run on the same base with the same blade.

Fewer things to wash, nothing to transfer, and the cup you blended in is the cup you drink from.

The condition the listing puts on this is cleaning: it says to place the pitcher and cups in the dishwasher and rinse the blade with soap and water.

Controlling texture with speeds and pulse

Three precision speeds, a pulse function and the Extract program are the controls, and they change what you can make. Pulse is the one that matters most: it lets you run the blade in short bursts, which is how you keep a salsa coarse or a soup with some texture instead of a puree. Speeds let you start slow on chunky ingredients and finish fast.

The Extract program is the manufacturer’s named setting, presented as the button for nutrition extraction — the smoothie job. If you mostly make smoothies, that’s the one you’ll press and walk away from. If you make sauces and nut butters, you’ll live on the speeds and pulse instead.

The listing doesn’t describe what each speed is intended for in detail, so if you want exact guidance on which setting suits which recipe, the included recipe book is where that would live.

Handling thick mixtures and everyday mess

Nut butters and thick sauces are the hardest thing a blender does, and the listing names nut butters directly as something this handles. The tamper exists for that: thick mixtures don’t circulate on their own, and the tamper lets you push them into the blade while the motor runs. That’s the accessory that makes the thick jobs realistic rather than a fight.

Cleaning is the other half of daily use. Pitcher and cups go in the dishwasher; the blade is rinsed by hand. Nothing here needs disassembly beyond unscrewing the blade from the cup, and there are no small parts to lose beyond the lids.

The full list of what’s in the box and the listed dimensions is below.

Is This Blender Combo Worth Buying?

Yes, if you blend for more than one person or at more than one scale — this is a buy for the household that wants a pitcher and a travel cup from a single base. The 1200 watts, the 64-oz pitcher and the two cup sizes together cover the jobs most people actually do, and the pulse function gives you enough control to make a coarse sauce as easily as a smooth smoothie. The 1 year limited warranty is the listed cover, so weigh that against how hard you plan to run it.

For the family blender, this is the straightforward answer. One pitcher, one blend, everyone gets a glass, and the vented lid cap means you’re not stopping to re-seal when a recipe needs liquid partway through. The dishwasher-safe pitcher and cups keep the daily cleanup short, and the hand-rinse on the blade is a small tax on that.

For the weekday single-serve user, it’s a buy only if you also cook in batches. The 24-oz handled cup and the to-go lids make the morning routine easy, but if that’s all you ever do, you’re paying in counter space for a pitcher you won’t use. The honest answer there is a compact single-serve blender, and the thing to look for is a cup that fits your car holder and a blade you can rinse fast.

The trade-off the overview raised — footprint against capability — settles like this: the 16.97-inch height and the counter space it takes are what you accept for having both a full pitcher and a cup system in one machine. If that space is available and you’ll use both sides, nothing here is wasted. If it isn’t, the extra capacity is weight you carry for nothing. Decide which of those two you are before you order, because the machine doesn’t shrink when you’re not using the pitcher.

What you get in the box matters here, because it decides how much of the machine you actually use. There’s the 1200-watt motor base, the 64-oz pitcher with its lid and vented lid cap, a tamper, a 32-oz cup, the 24-oz handled cup, two to-go lids, the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade and a recipe book. The 32-oz cup is the one people forget about, and it’s the reason a two-person household can still go single-serve on a lazy morning without dirtying the pitcher.

The blade is stainless steel and built with cyclonic action, and the pitcher and cups are BPA-free plastic. That’s the part that answers the durability question: the blade does the work, the plastic vessels take the wear, and the dishwasher takes the cleanup. Rinse the blade by hand, everything else goes in the machine.

So the split is clean. If you’ll use the pitcher and at least one cup, buy it. If you’ll only ever use a cup, buy something smaller and keep the counter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I have to buy again after the first one?

Nothing is listed as a consumable, so there’s no refill to budget for. The parts that wear are the blade and the lids, and the listing doesn’t say whether replacements are sold separately — worth checking before you buy if you plan to run it hard for years.

Can I put the blade and lids in the dishwasher?

No, not according to the listing. It says to place the pitcher and cups in the dishwasher and rinse the Easy-Twist Extractor Blade with soap and water, so the blade is a hand-wash item. The lids aren’t mentioned either way, so treat them as hand-wash unless you check.

Does it fit under a standard kitchen cabinet?

The listing gives the unit dimensions as 7.75 L x 8.07 W x 16.97 H, so measure your clearance before you commit. Standard upper cabinets sit at a height that a tall blender can foul, and this one is on the tall side because the motor base plus a full pitcher stacks up.

Is one base enough, or do I need two machines?

One base is enough for most kitchens, because the same motor drives the pitcher and every cup in the box. You’re not choosing between a full-size blender and a personal blender — you’re getting both functions from one unit, which is the whole point of the combo. The exception is a household that blends two different things at the same time, since there’s only one base to run.

Is a blender like this actually worth owning?

Yes, if you’ll use it several times a week. A blender earns its space through frequency: smoothies, soups, sauces and nut butters are all jobs this listing names, and the 1200 watts plus the Extract program are aimed at the smoothie habit. Where it stops being worth it is a kitchen that blends once a month — the counter footprint stays whether you use it or not.
