NutriBullet Juicer Pro Review

The NutriBullet Juicer Pro is a powerful centrifugal juicer. It takes up about 13 square inches of counter space and produces high-quality juice. It struggles with greens, but does a great job with both soft and hard produce. Throw in the large included accessory bundle and it's no wonder this juicer did well in testing.

Performance Comparison

Juice Quality

To test quality, we blend up three different juices with a wide variety of ingredients. We've picked the Can't Beet It, Romaine - Apple - Orange, and Sunset Blend to fully test across a variety of fruit textures and varieties. The Juicer Pro did great with all three of these blends.

When juicing the beet recipe, our testing team noted that the texture was just right and the juice poured nicely. It did have about an inch of foam on top and the machine made a few weird noises while juicing the celery, but the end output was smooth and tasty.

The Romaine blend was also delightful. Our tester described the texture as, “thin and velvety smooth.” This unit made easy worth of the produce in this blend. There was about an inch of foam on top, but half of it was easily popped bubbles that disappeared as we poured the juice through the strainer and into a glass.

With the Sunset Blend, we noted that the taste was good, albeit with strong sweet potato notes. The texture was smooth, but quite thick. It was like drinking a juicy milkshake, which was surprisingly enjoyable.

Soft Produce

The Juicer Pro performed at the top of the pack in this category, scoring highly for yield, taste, and performance across the board.

When juicing cucumbers, the NutriBullet Juicer Pro gave a strained yield of 231 milliliters and produced very little pulp. The taste was very crisp and we noticed that it created very little foam or bubbles.

It also scored very high on the celery juicing test. We were able to put whole pieces of celery in without any issue. And we were impressed that it easily juiced these with out any stringy bits or chunks remaining. The end yield was high and there was very little foaming or bubbling.

The Juicer Pro handled apples and oranges reasonably well, too. There wasn't much apple pulp, but we did find that the juice was cloudier and drank more like a cider. There was minimal foam the overall taste was crisp and refreshing. This machine really excelled with oranges. The taste and texture was delicious, though we did strain of a decent bit of pulp and foam which led to slightly less yield.

Hard Produce

This machine mowed through carrots without any issue and produced a juice that was smooth and had very little foam. For the beet juice we were able to simple insert peeled and halved pieces of beet into the shoot and the Nutribullet Pro handled them great. A bit of wet pulp did get stuck in the strainer at one point, but once we removed it there was no other pulp build up.

The Juicer Pro easily made a high quality sweet potato juice. Our tester noted that this unit had an impressive yield at 207 milliliters. The juice had a vibrant color and consistent, if a bit chalky, texture. It also had about a half inch of dense foam on top.

Leafy Greens

The NutriBullet Juicer Pro struggled the most with the greens, especially wheatgrass.

We were shocked during testing to see what little yield we got when juicing wheatgrass. We know that masticating machines tend to do best with wheatgrass, but this was still particularly dismal. We put in one ounce of wheatgrass and literally got no juice. With the large space and the design, it simply could not capture and juice the grass properly.

The Juicer Pro did slightly better with kale, getting a 0.71 ounce yield from 4.5 ounces inserted. There wasn't much foam on this juice and it was mostly uniform. The results were slightly better with the spinach, where it had a higher yield and created drinkable juice. There was quite a bit of mush, half smashed spinach in the pulp chamber, but once we strained the juice it was smooth and consistent.

Cleaning

This is a category where the NutriBullet Juicer Pro rose to the top. It was one of the easiest to clean in our lineup, with some components being dishwasher safe.

We liked that the juicing components are clear, so you can easily see what's clean or dirty. And the included cleaning brush has firm bristles that are particularly well suited to cleaning the filter which is sharp and often gets debris stuck on it. Everything but the food pusher and motor base are dishwasher safe, though you'll probably want to rinse or hand wash certain components. We should also note that you don't want to use a sterilize or high heat cycle as that may warp certain plastic components.

During our cleaning test we noticed that the lid has a lot of indentions, but was actually very easy to clean. The food pusher rinsed without a hitch, even considering the fact that it's actually two pushers in one. That's right, it looks like a single piece, but when you twist it counter-clockwise it separates into two pieces. This allows you to create a more narrow pusher and then use the smaller one to push tiny pieces down. That may or may not be useful to you, but it is a cool feature and cleans up easy to boot. Lastly, the pulp container and juice cup can be put in the dishwasher and also rinse out very easily.

Should You Buy the NutriBullet Juicer Pro?

If you don't plan to juice greens a lot and are looking for a reasonably priced machine that creates high-quality juice from hard and soft produce the Juicer Pro is a great option. It performed very well in our tests, has a boatload of cool accessories, and our testing team liked how simple it was to assemble. Add in how easy it is to clean and you have a high-performing juicer.

What Other Juicers Should You Consider?

If you're looking for something that does better with wheatgrass and greens, take a look at the Ninja Never Clog Cold Press juicer. Or if you want a high-performing juicer with a large feed chute, the Breville Juice Fountain Plus is one of our favorites. We like that you don't have to cut produce super small and the overall juice quality was creamy and delicious. It doesn't give the absolute best yield for leafy greens, but excels with hard produce, does well with soft produce, and is wonderfully easy to clean.
