Our Verdict

LG B4 OLED

LG C3 OLED

The LG B4 OLED and the LG C3 OLED are very similar overall. The C3 has better low-quality content smoothing, and its viewing angle is a bit better, with less color shift as you move off-center. The C3 also gets brighter overall, so it overcomes a bit more glare while watching SDR content in a bright room, and highlights stand out a bit more in HDR content. However, the C3 is noticeably dimmer while using the Game Optimizer, whereas the B4 maintains its brightness in that mode, which makes it a bit brighter overall while using Game Optimizer.

    Absolutely love your thorough and extensive reviews, thanks! Based on your reviews, and mostly the comment that this is the only Nutribullet that has dishwasher safe blades, I went ahead and purchased my old nutribullet with this one. Upon receiving it to my surprise the manual says that the blades should not go in the dishwasher…

    If I look up the product on their website it says the same. On their blog somewhere it does say they can go in the dishwasher. I called Nutribullet to clarify and they said that actually all nutribullet blades are dishwasher safe, as long as you don’t let them stay in the dishwasher after running (because of the steam and het) but dry them immediately after instead.

    May I ask what your source it to get rid of this confusion (and perhaps my purchase)? Again, for me this was the determining factor in buying this one, otherwise I might have gone with a Ninja (that all have dishwasher safe blades) or a cheaper Pro model.

    Edited 8 months ago: Added one small alternative (the Pro) if any could go into the dishwasher

    Hi, thanks for reading and getting in touch with us. Our source for the blades being dishwasher-safe was this information in the Ultra’s manual:

    “Never place the Rapid Extractor Blade, Cups, or To-Go Lids on the bottom rack or use the heat/sanitize cycle of your dishwasher when cleaning, and this may cause warping and possible safety hazards.”

    However, the manual currently available on NutriBullet’s website doesn’t have that text and says not to put the blades in the dishwasher. It looks like the confusion may have come from a mistake in the original manual. NutriBullet’s website does say that the blades are dishwasher safe, so there is some contradictory information out there, but we’re going to update the review to reflect the information in the current manual (that the blades are not dishwasher-safe). I’m sorry that this affected your buying decision, but thank you for bringing it to our attention!

  4. Update: We’ve changed the results under Blades to say that the blade assembly isn’t dishwasher-safe. An apparent mistake caused confusion in the original manual, which isn’t currently available on NutriBullet’s website.
