PopBabies Portable Blender vs. NutriBullet Pro 900W Personal Blender Side-by-Side Comparison

By , , and ·Updated
PopBabies Portable Blender vs. NutriBullet Pro 900W Personal Blender

Overall Verdict

The PopBabies Portable Blender and NutriBullet Pro 900W are two personal blenders with distinct power sources. While the cordless design of the PopBabies may offer convenience, especially for on-the-go use, it ultimately pales in comparison to the performance of the corded NutriBullet Pro.

The NutriBullet Pro's heavy-duty motor and solid construction can effortlessly blend tough ingredients, resulting in silky-smooth drinks every time. This blender can even grind whole ice cubes into fine particles in seconds, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy smoothies with ice-cream-like texture. 

On the other hand, the PopBabies had to faced] significant challenges in processing all of our ingredients, including almonds, dried berries, leafy greens, and frozen fruits. Although its mobility is a notable feature, the inadequate motor’s power and subpar blade design make it a limited option for blending only soft fruits and simple fruity work-out treats.
