Suppose you’re like me and haven’t any disgrace. In that case, you’ve usually eliminated your blender glass jar from the bottom after grinding up your newest try at an allegedly wholesome peanut butter, banana, and strawberry smoothie and immediately poured it into your gaping maw. The NutriBullet Flip is aware of my poor pouring selections, so it’s providing me what I actually need: a transportable blender that appears like a Stanley quencher cup.
NutriBullet’s newest $100 small-scale blender is a compact, 20 oz thermos-like single-unit blender with an insulated base and a flip prime. The gadget’s lid incorporates an 11.1 V motor to energy the blender, plus a 3-cell lithium-ion battery. NutriBullet guarantees it’s best to simply over a dozen 30-second blasts of your blender on a full cost. These specs supply extra energy than private blenders just like the Ninja Blast, which solely guarantees ten cycles off a full battery.
However what’s curious in regards to the NutriBullet Flip is its design. It’s not the primary blender to supply a flip prime, however this gadget could possibly be mistaken to your common insulated water bottle. You maintain the Flip lid-side down and press a button to activate the mixing motion, although you don’t have any management over the pace and energy. NutriBullet says it is advisable pour cleaning soap and water into the container and run it for a cycle to wash it.
The corporate guarantees it ought to have sufficient torque to cut up ice and frozen fruits, although we’d be enthusiastic about testing how shaky it may be for those who mix whereas holding it in a single hand, as the photographs counsel.
It’s additionally supposed to maintain your drinks and mixtures cool for twenty-four hours, although we’re positive {that a} blender motion will warmth issues up a good bit. It’s the identical as promised by many insulated cup manufacturers like Stanley, Yeti, or HydroFlask. At just below $100, it prices as a lot as NutriBullet’s different private blenders, just like the NutriBullet Professional 900 with its 24oz mug, or different manufacturers just like the Beast Mini Blender.
The one query we have now is whether or not there are any safeguards to forestall you from mixing whereas the highest is open or if it should activate with the lid facet up. We’ve reached out to NutriBullet for some clarification. One can think about the shock of taking a sip solely to have the thermos burp up its contents immediately into your face.
