nutribullet Pro 900 900W Matte Eucalyptus Blender review

The nutribullet Pro 900 is an older plug-in personal blender, not the newer Pro+ and not the 1,000-watt Turbo that the manufacturer now names as its replacement. This review covers the exact U.S. Matte Eucalyptus selection, displayed as SKU NB9-0901EUCTH. The manufacturer marks the Pro 900 discontinued, so the page is useful for identifying an existing machine or evaluating a clearly identified older offer; it does not establish current stock, seller condition, or a transferable warranty.

Two large personal cups, used one at a time

The exact Eucalyptus page itemizes one 900-watt motor base, one Extractor Blade, two To-Go Lids, two nominal 32-ounce cups, two Cup Rings, and two Handled Lip Rings. That is a cup-and-blade personal system, not a family pitcher or food processor. The two cups let you make separate batches without immediately washing the first vessel, but they do not combine into a 64-ounce batch and the base runs only one cup at a time.

There is a package-detail wrinkle worth keeping visible: the selected Eucalyptus page’s itemized contents list two 32-ounce cups, while a broad FAQ answer describes the Pro family as having one 32-ounce and one 24-ounce cup. The former is the exact selected SKU’s box list, so that is the configuration reviewed here; the generic answer is not enough to silently change this SKU or prove all Pro 900 colors have the same box. The listed 32-ounce capacity is nominal, not a safe-fill guarantee. Use each cup’s MAX mark; the linked guide does not translate that mark into ounces.

Manual engagement rather than a preset

The appealing difference is not a wattage number but the way the machine runs. The linked NBR/NB9 guide describes pushing the cup assembly down and twisting it to engage the base, then twisting the other way to stop. The manufacturer’s Pro FAQ says the 900-watt Pro does not switch itself off on a timed cycle. There is no numbered speed dial, separate Pulse button, or automatic smoothie program documented for this selected package. You control the start and stop yourself, which can suit someone who wants a short blend without a cycle menu; it is a poor fit if hands-free timing or repeatable speed settings are essential.

Do not confuse the name Pro 900 with Pro+. The separately reviewed Pro+ N12-1001MK has a 1,200-watt base, an automatic 60-second Blend cycle and a held Pulse button. The current Turbo uses a distinct 1,000-watt base and a 45-second automatic cycle, with a different blade and cups that are not compatible with Pro parts. The older 700-watt Personal Blender is another package again. Those differences change the control answer as well as the vessel choice; a “personal nutribullet” family name is not proof of interchangeable parts.

Cold recipes and a careful distinction about ice

This is a sealed-cup blender, not a hot-soup setup. The linked manual prohibits hot or warm ingredients, carbonated liquids and effervescent ingredients; it says to start with room-temperature or refrigerated ingredients at or below 70°F/21°C. Liquid is required, the MAX line must be respected, and the Extractor Blade is not for dry grinding coffee, cereal or grains. If an overlong blend warms the vessel, stop and let it cool before opening it carefully, pointed away from your face and body. The manual also describes short runs: generally under a minute, with at least a minute between one-minute intervals and a longer rest after three consecutive intervals.

Ice needs a more precise answer than a yes-or-no label. The Pro FAQ says the 900-watt model can crush ice, but its linked guide says the NutriBullet is not intended as an ice crusher. The quick-start and recipe materials permit some crushed ice in a liquid smoothie—up to 25% of the smoothie ingredients, with liquid up to the MAX line—and forbid crushing hard items without liquid. That supports an ice-containing drink, not an ice-only task or a dedicated ice-crushing recommendation. If you regularly need dry ice crushing, choose another machine whose own instructions clearly approve that use.

Care, fit and the older-model caveat

The page says the cups and lids can go on the dishwasher’s top rack; the motor base and blades cannot. Wash the sharp blade by hand, check its seal and edges, and keep the base dry. The page does not establish the cup material or a numerical MAX capacity. It lists a 4.7-pound base, a 29.5-inch cord and dimensions of 12.01 by 7.72 by 15.94 inches, without naming the axes. Clearance with a cup attached is not separately stated, so measure the actual counter space instead of treating the first number as verified height.

The linked general warranty card describes a one-year limited household-use term. Since the maker says this model is discontinued, that card alone does not prove used-machine coverage or that an old or reseller-held unit is eligible; keep the purchase proof and check the seller and manufacturer terms before paying. The Eucalyptus image is the manufacturer’s staged product image, not a test photograph, and its photo-versus-render status is not identified.

Who should consider it?

Shortlist this exact Pro 900 only if an earlier, manual-start personal blender with two nominal 32-ounce cups matches your routine and you are comfortable checking the identity and condition of an older offer. It is not a family-size pitcher, a hot-food blender, a dry grinder, or a machine with a timed cycle. If you want a current manufacturer-listed option with automatic timing, compare the Turbo; if a manual Pulse button and longer automatic Blend are more useful, compare the Pro+. If you want the small original setup, the discontinued 600W NBR-0801 has separate 24-ounce and 18-ounce cups rather than this Eucalyptus page’s listed pair of 32-ounce cups. The questionnaire separates those cup sizes, manual controls, liquid-only ice recipes, and current-versus-earlier status so a requirement for one does not conceal a mismatch in another.
