Yes, the container (cup) of the blender is dishwasher safe on the top rack. It is recommended to rinse it before placing it in the dishwasher. The blades should be washed by hand and not put in the dishwasher. The power base must never be submerged in water or put in the dishwasher and should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only. This applies to the portable blender container as well as other NutriBullet cups.
The NutriBullet portable blender (14.80 W) is designed primarily for making smoothies and doesn't have enough power to efficiently blend whole hazelnuts or almonds. Its power of 14.80 W is low compared to the more powerful blenders needed to grind whole nuts. We therefore advise against using this model to blend whole hazelnuts or almonds.
Yes, you can take the cup of the NutriBullet® Portable Blender with you separately. The cup is equipped with a To Go lid attachment that allows you to use the blender jug directly as a drinking cup after you have opened the lid.
The power of the NutriBullet Portable Blender (14.80 W) is primarily designed for light to medium blending tasks, such as blending smoothies, protein shakes and fresh fruit.
- Nuts: While the blender's blades are sturdy, blending nuts can be a bit challenging as nuts are harder to blend than fruits or vegetables. However, it is possible to blend nuts if they are in close contact with the blades.
- Frozen fruit: Frozen fruit can be processed, but it is advisable not to leave it too hard as this could strain the performance of the blender. Frozen fruit can normally be blended without additional ice.
- Ice: Blending ice is not ideal with this blender as the power and blades are not specifically designed for crushing ice. The motor may be overloaded or the consistency of the smoothie may not be ideal.
Overall, the NutriBullet Portable Blender is better suited for softer ingredients, but with care and proper preparation of the ingredients, nuts and frozen fruit can also be processed. However, ice should be avoided.
