Is Nutribullet right for you? Let its pros and cons Decide



Nutribullet is the new “supperfood nutrition extractor” as the company has promoted it. But, before you go off to buy this new product, look at its pros and cons. The company has heavily advertised it on television and it’s natural that people think their old blenders are not worth anymore. There are several other brands in Australia that are equally good or even better than the Nutribullet, such the Optimum 8200.

Here are the pros and cons of Nutribullet that will help you decide whether the product is worth buying or not.

Nutribullet Can Break Down Ingredients Easily, but……..

Living up to its name as “supperfood nutrition extractor” Nutribullet can break down ingredient into finest form. Blenders in general are meant to break down things like ice and nuts into fine bits, but not all of them can achieve that feat. Although Nutribullet can do the job well, there are several other tasks that it cannot do such as, freezing fruits into ice creams & sorbet; crushing ice; making smooth nut butters; heating soups (by simply blending water and vegetables); kneading dough; grinding hard spices; chopping and slicing for food prep’;  mixing omelettes; and self-cleaning function.

The Optimum 8200 blender is one of the most preferred blenders in Australia and can perform these tasks aptly. It’s known for its high power, laser cut blades that can easily pulverize hard ingredients into smooth, velvety texture.

Nutribullet Is Very Versatile

Nutribullet is a very versatile blender even though its size is smaller than the others. It can make soups, dressings, desserts, ice creams, dips, and sauces. It is also capable of efficiently turning rice into rice flour, nuts into nut butter, and wheat berries into wheat flour. The problem with it is that its capacity is same as any other blender. But, the optimum 8200 has more capacity as compared to the Nutribullet and can easily make smoothies; soups and perform similar tasks as the Nutribullet.

Nutribullet Components Fail To Impress

As far as the performance goes, Nutribullet is at the top. But when you compare its components with the Optimum 8200 it clearly fails to impress. Its jug gears and base couplings are made of plastic, which is neither durable nor efficient. The optimum 8200 on the other hand has components made from metal and are more reliable and efficient than the plastics.

The Price Is Also a Downside

When you compare Nutribullet price with the optimum 8200, Nutribullet is expensive. Performance wise the optimum 8200 easily out performs Nutribullet and you can buy them at $299 while the Nutribullet is available at $284 (only for TV sale), its actual price in the market is greater than that.

The Warranty Also Fails To Impress

Nutribullet has another downside; its warranty. It has just 1 year warranty as compared to the 5 year warranty of the optimum blender.

Blenders are great kitchen equipment and when customers buy it they look for high performance, durability and affordability. Nutribullet is a great food extractor but it lacks in many areas. If you want a blender that can not only multitask, but is also available at affordable price, choose the optimum 8200 blender. It can not only perform the tasks that the Nutribullet can, it can even do extra.
