Frequently asked questions

What size jug blender do I need?

Around 1.5-2L suits most families and batch-making; smaller jugs are fine for couples. Remember the usable capacity is less than the total when blending hot or fizzy liquids, so size up if you make big batches of soup.

Bottom line

Our top pick is the Nutribullet Blender 600 Series (our score 9.6/10) - A practical blender (personal/bullet) for smoothies, soups and everyday blending at home..
