nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo NBF50700AK review

The nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo is a full-size countertop pitcher blender, not simply the standard SmartSense NBF50600 renamed in a different color. The exact U.S. Matte Black selection is SKU NBF50700AK. Its page calls the package “Blender Combo + Additional Accessories” and identifies a 1400-watt motor, a 64-ounce pitcher, a pour-spout lid, tamper, recipe book and user guide. The page’s itemized box list stops there, however; it does not identify the “additional accessories.” I treat the 24- and 32-ounce cups visible in the manufacturer image as pictured equipment, not confirmed box contents. If a personal blend-and-go cup is essential, do not rely on the word Combo or the photo alone.

Start with the pitcher the page actually itemizes

The practical, documented setup is a large pitcher on a corded base. The guide linked from this product page is the existing SmartSense pitcher guide. It marks a 56-ounce LIQUID MAX and a higher 64-ounce solid MAX. The product page’s 64-ounce label is not the same as a 64-ounce liquid batch. A cook making soup or a large liquid drink should use the lower mark, not infer liquid capacity from the label on the jar. The guide does not state a minimum recommended batch, either. Small recipes may need a different vessel or a confirmed small-batch attachment, and this particular package cannot be chosen to satisfy a minimum-volume limit that the maker has not published.

The dimensions listed for this exact matte-black selection are 17.09 inches long, 13.54 inches wide and 12.36 inches high; the listed weight is 7.94 pounds and cord length 39.3 inches. Those numbers help estimate storage, but measure the assembled unit and your cabinet clearance rather than treating the page’s labeled dimensions as a guarantee of fit.

More control than a one-button pitcher

SmartSense combines five manual speeds with a sensing AUTO cycle and a separate Pulse control. The linked guide says AUTO selects a time, speed and setting based on the ingredient load. BLEND starts or stops a manual run; the speed buttons move between five levels; Pulse can be tapped in short bursts or held, and the display counts elapsed time. This is useful if you sometimes want the machine to run a smooth cycle and sometimes want to stop at a coarser texture. The manufacturer does not publish one fixed AUTO duration, so this is not a preset timer that always stops at a known number of seconds.

The product page and manual describe a pitcher setup; the manual does not identify the Combo’s extra cup attachments or give a separate operating plan for them. The associated standard SmartSense guide says the pitcher is dishwasher-safe, but warns against dishwasher heat or sanitize cycles. Hand-wash the tamper and wipe, rather than submerge, the motor base. Do not assume that the same care instructions establish what vessels or blade pieces are included with this Combo SKU.

Useful limits matter more than a wattage headline

The 1400-watt figure is the manufacturer’s rating, not a measured speed or a promise about a particular recipe. The SmartSense guide permits hot, warm or carbonated ingredients only in the pitcher with its vented lid and cap correctly fitted. It warns that steam can escape and hot mixtures can splatter. No separate numeric hot-liquid allowance appears in the guide, so the general 56-ounce liquid line should not be read as a tested hot-soup volume.

The same guide expressly says not to crush ice and not to dry-grind grains, cereal or coffee. A staged photo or promotional example should not override those operating instructions. Frozen fruit blended with adequate liquid is different from using this machine as an ice crusher; dry ingredients are also a poor fit if your routine depends on flour or coffee grinding. The page offers a one-year warranty, but that does not turn unlisted accessories into a verified package.

Who should choose this exact Combo?

It is a sensible candidate for someone who primarily wants a 64-ounce-class pitcher, five manual speeds and a sensor-guided AUTO cycle, and who is content to use the pitcher until the exact box contents are confirmed. If you choose “family” capacity in a finder, the 64-ounce labeled pitcher can qualify for the nominal-container question, but a 64-ounce liquid-fill requirement should fail: the guide’s liquid line is 56 ounces. If you require a documented 40-ounce hot-liquid allowance, this product also should not qualify because the manual supplies no hot-volume figure.

The standard SmartSense NBF50600 is the clearer comparison if you want a documented pitcher-only package: its own itemized list names the 1400-watt base, 64-ounce pitcher, lid, tamper, recipe book and guide. If direct blending in travel cups is non-negotiable, choose a model whose exact U.S. offer lists the cup-and-blade attachments. For example, the nutribullet Turbo Standard assessment names its 24- and 32-ounce cups and 45-second twist-triggered cycle; it is a smaller personal-blender workflow, not a substitute for a full-size pitcher. The SmartSense Combo’s appeal is its pitcher and adjustable controls, but its unspecified add-ons should not decide the purchase until the exact box list is clear.
