The Nutribullet 600 Series is a simple, affordable and effective model from the brand behind many of the on the market. It offers one blending speed and a twist-to-blend mechanism that works well, although some might prefer a good old-fashioned button instead. On test, I found it tackled frozen berries, fibrous fruit and nuts with ease, although wasn't powerful enough to crush ice.
If that's a priority, you should opt for the 900 Series (which you can read about our ), which is identical except for having a more powerful motor (900W vs 600W for the 600 Series), and being more expensive as a result. It's not ideal for creating chunkier blends, because the single, fast speed means the lower ingredients immediately get pulverized into a paste, while the higher ones never reach the blades at all. I managed to use it to make a (rather wet) hummus, with a bit of shaking up in the middle on the process, but it was pretty useless when it came to pesto.
(Really, blenders are designed to be used for creating liquids – if you want to be making salsas, pestos and the like, you're much better off reaching for one of the instead.) The build quality is solid, as I'd expect from Nutribullet. And because it's a well-known brand that specializes in blenders, you have the benefit of a wide range of compatible accessories – cups of different sizes, and assorted lid options.
Some are included with certain configurations of the 600, but if not they're available to buy if you need them. This bu.
