Is the NutriBullet Pro 1000 good for frozen fruit and ice?

Yes. The 1,000-watt motor and extractor blade handle frozen fruit and ice well, which is what most owners praise it for. Add liquid first and don't overload the cup.

How does it compare with the original NutriBullet?

The Pro 1000 has a stronger motor and comes with a larger 32-oz cup alongside the 24-oz one. The original is smaller and weaker, so the Pro is the better pick for ice and daily use.

Can it blend hot soups or large batches?

No. It is a personal blender for cold, single-serve drinks. Hot liquids can build pressure in the sealed cup, and the cups are too small for family batches.

Are the cups and blades dishwasher safe?

Yes. The cups, lids and blade assembly are dishwasher safe on the top rack. Hand washing the blades is quicker if you blend every day.

What comes in the box?

The motor base, one 24-oz cup, one 32-oz cup, two to-go lids and the extractor blade. No tamper or extra blade is included.

Is it worth it over a full-size blender?

If you make one or two smoothies a day, yes: it is smaller, simpler and faster to clean. For soups, nut butter or batches for a family, a full-size blender is the better fit.
