The nutribullet Pro+ is a personal blender. Its 24-ounce and 32-ounce jars come with to-go lids and cup rings, so you can bring your drink with you on the go. Its simple design includes a button for pulse mode. You can wash most of its components in the top rack of your dishwasher, but the blade assembly has to be cleaned by hand.
Our Verdict
The nutribullet Pro+ is middling for multi-purpose use. This personal blender is well-suited for making single-serve drinks like smoothies and protein shakes. However, it can't crush ice, and it can't hot blend. It doesn't have the most premium build, and you have to clean its blade assembly by hand.

The nutribullet Pro+ is good for single-serve smoothies. With both its 32-ounce and 24-ounce jars, it makes a very smooth blend with stubborn ingredients like leafy greens. It's an easy process, although some blenders can make smoothies faster. A matching to-go lid is included for each jar, so you can easily bring your drink with you on the go. Unfortunately, while the jars and lids are dishwasher-safe, the blades are not.

The nutribullet Pro+ is decent for making multiple servings of smoothies. The biggest jar has a 32-ounce capacity, so you can't make a big batch to serve a crowd. Still, if you fill the jar, it makes a silky blend with fibrous ingredients like kale. However, the manufacturer says to let the blender rest for one minute for each minute of blending, so it's not ideal for making several batches.

The nutribullet Pro+ isn't safe for hot blending, so it's not well-suited for soups. You can use it to blend fibrous ingredients for recipes like pureed broccoli soup, but its small capacity is limiting.

The nutribullet Pro+ is sub-par for professional use. It doesn't have the most durable build, and its small capacity jars aren't ideal for making large batches of food. It can't hot blend, and it can't crush ice. On the upside, it makes a very smooth blend with fibrous ingredients, which makes it a good choice for smoothies. It can also make smooth, spreadable nut butter, but it's not the most convenient to use for that purpose.

The scores for Fibrous Ingredients (Small Batches) processing and Fibrous Ingredients (Full Capacity) processing changed from 9.5 to 8.5 because of the blending time. The score for Nut Butter preparation changed from 7.5 to 6.0 because of the long blending time and the need to shake the jar.

Compared To Other Blenders
The nutribullet Pro Plus is a personal blender with both a 32-ounce and a 24-ounce jar. It has a similar design to other nutribullet blenders, like the nutribullet Pro 1000. It's fantastic for blending fibrous ingredients like kale, although the nutribullet Pro 900 makes better-blended smoothies. Unlike personal blenders like the Ninja Foodi Power Nutri DUO, it's not meant for crushing ice without liquid in the jar.

The nutriBullet Pro+ and nutribulletUltra are both personal blenders intended for smoothies. They perform similarly when blending common ingredients like fruit or leafy greens. The Ultra comes with an extra jar and is a better option for small batches of nut butter or hummus. However, its controls are awkward and easy to accidentally activate.
The nutribullet Pro 900 is better than the nutribullet Pro+. While both blenders have a similar overall performance, the 900 has an edge for processing fibrous ingredients. It comes with a bigger variety of cup rings for its jars.
The nutribullet Pro+ is better than the nutribullet Pro 1000. The Pro+ does a better job of blending fibrous ingredients like kale at full capacity, producing a smoother blend more quickly. It's also easier to use for thicker recipes like nut butter, although neither is ideal for that purpose. The Pro+ also comes with cup rings for its jars.
The Ninja Foodi Power Nutri DUO is better than the NutriBullet Pro+. The DUO is significantly better built and does a better job of making nut butter. It can also make snow-like crushed ice, comes with more jars, and is easier to clean. On the other hand, the Pro+ is much quieter when it's running.
The Ninja Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ is a little better than the NutriBullet Pro+. The Ninja is more versatile since it can crush ice. It's easier to clean by hand, and the blades, jars, and lids are all dishwasher-safe. On the other hand, the Pro+ is easier to use to make nut butter.
The Beast Health Blender is better for most purposes than the nutribullet Pro+. The Beast has a much better build quality, is quieter, and makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients like kale. You can also use it to crush ice without liquid in the jar. On the other hand, the nutribullet comes with two jars you can use to make smoothies to-go, and the Beast just has one.
The nutribullet Rx and the nutribullet Pro+ have different strengths, and you may prefer either. The Rx is more versatile since it can make crushed ice and heat room-temperature ingredients. Both are good blenders for smoothies, but the Pro+ makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients. It also comes with to-go lids for its jars.
The nutribullet Pro+ is better than the Magic Bullet Mini. Both perform well for blending common smoothie ingredients like fruit and leafy greens, but the nutribullet has a significantly better build quality and comes with lip rings and drinking lids for both of its personal jars. Its jars have a bigger 32oz capacity, while the Magic Bullet's jars hold 13oz and 8oz. That said, the Magic Bullet is a smaller, lighter blender.
The Breville Boss To Go Sport is a better personal blender than the nutribullet Pro+. The Breville is better built and more versatile since it can crush ice. Its jars, lids, and blades are all dishwasher-safe. On the other hand, the nutribullet is much quieter. It comes with cup rings and resealable lids for its jars.
The nutribullet Pro+ is better for smoothies than the Ninja Nutri-Blender Plus. The nutribullet blends fibrous ingredients faster and produces a smoother blend. It has a much better build quality, a button for pulse mode, and comes with cup rings and travel lids for its two personal jars. On the other hand, the Ninja is easier to clean by hand. All of its components, including its blades, are dishwasher-safe. You can also use it to crush ice.
Test Results
The nutribullet Pro Plus is a compact personal blender. While it's a little larger than the nutribullet Pro, it'll still be easy to store on your kitchen counter or in a cupboard. You can also remove the jar for easier storage.
The nutribullet Pro+ is decently well-built. The body is made of brushed aluminum and sits on a plastic base. There are four suction-cup legs to help keep the blender in place while running. The jars, lip rings, and lids are made of plastic, which feels sturdy and durable. However, the motor base gears are made of plastic, so it's not as durable as blenders with metal gears, like the Beast Mini Blender.
The nutribullet Pro Plus comes with 32-ounce and 24-ounce jars that are a good size for single-serve smoothies.
The jars, lids, and cup rings are made of plastic and are dishwasher-safe.
This blender has six dull, fixed blades: two blades point upwards, two blades point downwards, and two are horizontal. According to the manual, the blades should only be hand-washed.
The blades are attached to the lid, which screws onto the jar. You can only wash this lid by hand. This blender also comes with two additional to-go lids that are top-rack dishwasher-safe.
The power cord is long enough to reach most outlets, but there isn't a stowaway compartment to hide it when it's not in use.

The nutribullet Pro Plus is outstanding for processing small batches of fibrous ingredients. It makes a very smooth blend if you're making something like a kale smoothie. Some blenders can achieve the same result a bit faster.
The nutribullet Pro Plus is superb for processing fibrous ingredients at full capacity. The 32-ounce jar can only fit enough to serve one or two people, but if you use its full capacity, it blends fibrous ingredients like kale into an almost perfectly smooth puree. The only downside is that some blenders can do it faster.
The nutribullet Pro+ isn't intended for crushing ice, according to its manual.

The nutribullet Pro Plus is very good for nut butter. While it can make smooth, spreadable nut butter, it's not that easy of a process. It requires several one-minute blending cycles, and you need to let the motor rest for one minute after every minute of blending. While the motor is resting, you have to shake the jar to help the blender process the thick mixture.
It's not very loud, so the noise shouldn't be too irritating when you're using it to make a smoothie. There are quieter personal blenders, though, like the Beast Health Blender.
The nutribullet Pro Plus only has one speed, and it's quite loud. There's also a dedicated button for the pulse mode. The manufacturer advises that you run the blender for no more than one minute at a time, then let it rest before continuing to blend. We followed this recommendation during our tests.
It has straightforward controls. Docking the jar on the motor base will start a one-minute blending cycle. There's also a dedicated button for the pulse mode. The manufacturer advises that you run the blender for no more than one minute at a time, then let it rest for one minute before continuing to blend. We followed this recommendation during our tests.
The nutribullet Pro Plus is decently easy to clean. For liquid messes like smoothies, you can rinse the blender using water. You can clean stickier messes like almond butter by running a water and soap blend for 60 seconds. While the cup, to-go lids, and lip rings are top-rack dishwasher-safe, you have to wash the blades by hand.
