Budget NutriBullet Alternatives US – Affordable personal blenders

Not everyone can justify spending hundreds on a personal blender, for those who just wants a basic blender that works, without burning a hole in the pocket, here are 5 best low cost personal blenders for the rest of us.

Premium blenders like NutriBullet, Nutri Ninja, Vitamix S-series are powerful high performing blenders with a powerful motor averaging around 900-1000Watt. These cheaper alternatives however are not quite as powerful and would require a bit more time when blending harder ingredients such as ice, carrots, kales or nuts. Still, they do a good job with a bit of patience.

To make your personal blender last longer, we recommend adding resting time during and between blending. This stops the motor from overheating especially when dealing hard ingredients.
