We compared two personal smoothie blenders: the 600W nutribullet 600 Series and the 700W Ninja Slim Blender (QB3001UKS).
What we looked at
Motor power, cups and lids, blending claims, cleaning, and price. The nutribullet listing has only one feature bullet, so its copy leans on the title.
The verdict
If you want the nutribullet name, a 20,000 RPM extractor and a 7-piece kit with tall and short cups, the nutribullet 600 is the classic pick, at £59.00. If you would rather pay £47.00 for a 700W motor, two 470ml cups with spout lids for taking smoothies on the go, and dishwasher-safe parts, the Ninja Slim Blender is the value option.
A 600W, 20,000 RPM extractor in a 7-piece kit with tall and short cups, at £12 more.
A 700W single-serve blender with two 470ml spout-lid cups and dishwasher-safe parts, for £12 less.
