Pro 900 by Nutribullet First, some background: "compact extraction" is a centrifugal juicing method in which the blender's container doubles as a drink-on-the-go cup. The Nutribullet popularised the idea, and competitors are now in the fray. How does it compare? Despite its one-size- fits-all setting, this new, more powerful version (the "Pro 900") completely blitzed even the toughest ingredients. Sure, the traditional Optimum blender (below) is even more powerful - but at around twice the size and three times the price, what do you expect? If we were going to buy a device for our kitchen counter, it would still be this.Via NutribulletWin: Best balance of quality, convenience and price Fail: Lack of settings★★★★★★★★★✩The breakdown Dimensions: 139 x 139 x 374mm Nutri Ninja with Auto-IQ The Nutri Ninja is 20 per cent more affordable than the Nutribullet, and we liked its four different pre-programmed cycles (as well as the fact it's called a "Ninja").

It also tries to ape the Nutribullet in its presentation and design, even its marketing - more so than the others on test - but it couldn't quite match the original for churning through harder vegetables. When it came to broccoli and carrots the juice was just that bit more abrasive.£120.

Yes, it splashed a little liquid from the top; yes, it didn't come with any cups or extra blades; but, as you might expect, it makes light work of even the most fibrous greens. All well and good if you want to crush ice or if you are planning on opening a café, but in most scenarios it's overkill.Our verdict: home users should opt for a compact.£429.

Dimensions: 200 x 240 x 420mm A great blender that offers both compact and traditional-style jug attachments with a clean, straightforward design - what's more, it produced equivalent results to the Nutribullet. So why isn't it our pick? Simply because it requires more care and attention. You have to start it slow and build it up to faster speeds, possibly throwing in some pulses along the way, to get a smooth texture.With the Nutribullet, you simply press down on the top of the device and - wham! - enjoy your juice.£240.

We’ve compared and contrasted these two popular blenders to see which one deserves your counter top space.

The Tale of the Tape These two kitchen gadgets couldn’t be more different in terms of raw power and capacity. The Nutribullet is basically trying to serve one, maybe two people at a time. The Vitamix has enough space to make beverages for 4 people, or cook recipes for the entire family. In terms of power the Nutribullet clocks in at 10,000 RPMs while the Vitamix boasts an impressive 37000 RPMs.The Vitamix has also been around for several years and is often used in comparison tests with professional-grade blenders costing several times more. Change Headlight Bulb 2001 Chrysler SebringThe Nutribullet is a relative newcomer to the market and is largely known through its infomercials.Tazewell Moving CompanyNutribullet Weigh In The Nutribullet is claimed to be able to turn the cells of your foods inside out so that you’re getting more nutrients than you would if you used a juicer or ate them whole.

It’s not really meant to make smoothies or to be used as a food processor. It’s main function is to blend up fruits and veggies and liquify them for easy consumption.Vitamix Weigh In The Vitamix is well-known as the blender of choice for many chefs, and you can see it being used in commercial settings at some juice bars and coffee shops. It’s spins and blends so fast that you’re supposed to be able to make soup with it, as it blends up the vegetables it heats them up as well so you simply add a few additional ingredients and you can pour the hot soup right out of the blender.Cost Comparison The Vitamix is notoriously pricey, with many of its models clocking in at over $500 and the Nutribullet is priced at a nifty $120 and even has a 6 month payment plan to make it painless. In this regard, Nutribullet is the obvious winner, but let’s do a further comparison to see if the price is a knockout punch or if Vitamix can make its sale.Where They’re Similar They both claim to be able to pulverize fruits and vegetables, to the point that there isn’t any pulp left.

If you don’t like the idea of a juicer that separates the pulp from the juice and yields a very small amount of juice compared to all of the fruits and vegetables you’re putting in the top, both of these blenders can help. They are meant to blend up the pulp so fine that you don’t even notice it as you drink the juice, but still get all of its benefits, like added fiber.Where They’re Different The Nutribullet isn’t trying to be all things to all people. It has a very specific set of abilities and it simply says it can do these few things very well. The Vitamix wants to be the focal point of your kitchen, and wants most recipes to pass through it by offering several different features. The Vitamix boasts a long track record of success, has few reports of it breaking down in its prime, and it’s easy to order replacement parts in the event that something does break.In this regard, the Vitamix tries to sell you on the idea of doing lots of tasks in the kitchen, which is easy to get roped into, but the reality is that if you aren’t currently in the habit of doing something in the kitchen, a particular gadget won’t be able to start the habit.

The best products out there are the ones that take a task you already do on a regular basis and make it easier or more efficient for you.At first glance, it appears that the Vitamix is the hands-down winner. And in many respects it does outperform the Nutribullet. If you have a $600 budget for your blender, then by all means grab the Vitamix. You’ll be happy and you’ll be able to forget about blender shopping for several years to come.If you need to be a little more conservative with your blender buying, and you’d feel the pinch of spending $300-$400 for a refurbished Vitamix, then the Nutribullet will likely meet many of your expectations, while fitting nicely into most budgets. We’re definitely fans of buying one high-quality product and keeping it for several years, rather than buying a cheaper and poorly made product again and again. In this instance the Nutribullet may not last as long as a Vitamix, all else being equal, but it should last you a good amount of time and provide good results in the meantime.
