Nutribullet as a brand may have made its start with personal blenders, but the lineup has expanded to include Alongside a 1,500 watt motor base, the system includes a long list of accessories: a 64oz pitcher, two travel cups with lids, a food processor work bowl, a shredding/slicing disc, a tamper, a food pusher, and a dough blade. So, its pretty much a full toolkit for any home chef looking to whip up smoothies, shakes, soup, dips, and more. (Image credit: Abigail Shannon) As expected, during my tests, there was almost no hurdle the Nutribullet Triple Prep System stumbled at. From chopping carrots to crushing ice, the machine proved to be an exceptionally useful assistant in the kitchen again and again. Whats more, it was more user-friendly than many There are a few problems that held the Triple Prep System back from perfection though. For one, the blades in the pitcher cant be removed, which makes hand washing a good bit more difficult than it needs to be. As well as that, it doesnt perform well with very small batches, given its smallest container is 24oz. Nutribullet Triple Prep System: price and availability List price: $244.99 / 229.99 / AU$349.95 Available in the US, UK, and Australia Sold through Nutribullets website and other third-party retailers The Nutribullet Triple Prep System is widely available to buy in the US, UK, and Australia. Across all three of these regions, you can pick up the Triple Prep System directly from the Nutribullet site or on Amazon. When it comes to third-party retailers in the States specifically, some of your other options are Target, Best Buy, and Walmart. At over $200, the Triple Prep System is undoubtedly on the higher end of the Nutribullet range. It is one of the brands most multifunctional machines though, so it makes sense that it would set you back more than the rest. For context, you can get a basic Nutribullet personal blender for as little as $80. Even with that higher price tag, if it saves you the cost of buying a blender and food processor separately, the Triple Prep System is incredible value for money. That said, its probably not a great idea to opt for it if you dont plan to make use of its full suite of features. Value score: 4/5 Nutribullet Triple Prep System: specs Price $244.99 / 229.99 / AUS $349.95 Weight 8.7lbs / 4kg Size (H x W x D) 8.75 x 8 x 7.75 inches / 22.2 x 20.3 x 19.7cm Travel cup capacity 32oz / 900ml or 24oz / 700ml Jug capacity 64oz / 1.8 liters Work bowl capacity 7 cups Presets Smoothie, puree, frozen drinks, nut milk, dressing, chop, dough, dip. Nutribullet Triple Prep System: design Plenty of presets to choose from Smart attachment recognition Slightly large footprint, but accessories nest for storage One of my favorite features of the Triple Prep System is how it smartly recognizes which container you have attached to the base, and changes which presets are available based on that knowledge. It even modifies the duration of presets depending on which attachment youre using. For example, the Smoothie preset runs for 50 seconds with the pitcher and 60 seconds when using the travel cups. More blending time for a smaller container may sound counterintuitive, but your ingredients having less space to move around means that the motor has to process for longer to ensure all of the mix comes in contact with the blades. (Image credit: Abigail Shannon) You wouldnt have to know all that though, because the Triple Prep System makes that change for you. The touch button layout is clean and intuitive: youve got start/stop controls, a pulse button, and clearly labeled presets for smoothies, soups, frozen drinks, and food processing tasks. Any preset that isnt suitable for your attached container conveniently disappears too, helping to make using the machine an almost foolproof experience. The majority of parts are dishwasher-safe, which offers a welcome reprieve from having to scrub out smoothie remnants and soup leftovers by hand. The extractor blade isnt suitable for dishwasher cleaning, but given the fixed pitcher blades caused me far more struggle when cleaning than the extractor blade, I didnt find this to be too much of an issue. (Image credit: Abigail Shannon) Given the sheer number of functions this machine serves, its slighter larger footprint feels like a worthy trade. If you cook from scratch or make fancy drinks at home regularly enough, you can probably justify keeping the motor base on your kitchen counter between uses. When you go to store the Triple Prep System away in your kitchen cupboards, youll probably find its wealth of accessories and attachments more of a curse than a blessing. Certain parts of the system (like the shred/slice disc) slot together or into each other so it does seem like there was some effort made to save space. However, it still is a system that requires some generous-sized kitchen cupboards. Design: 4.5/5 Nutribullet Triple Prep System: performance Consistently great results with smoothies and soups Does a great job crushing ice Struggles with very small batches Blenders are Nutribullets bread and butter particularly ones for making smoothies. With that in mind, it made a lot of sense to start my testing there. The smoothie recipe thats used during TechRadars testing processes is a doozy in a couple of respects. It includes blueberries, which have skin and tiny seeds for the blenders blades to try to contend with. But it also contains kale: the fibrous leafy vegetable thats the enemy of many at-home smoothie lovers. While kale is great for sneaking nutrients in your drinks, it can be really difficult to completely break down if your blender isnt up to the task and plenty of blenders arent. Image 1 of 1 (Image credit: Abigail Shannon) Thanks to the Triple Prep Systems 1,500W motor and the guidance of its smoothie preset, I managed to blitz up a thick, tasty smoothie with virtually no off-putting bits. Any grittiness from the berries seeds disappeared entirely and no chunks of leaf remained. Roughly the same was true when I tried to replicate the smoothie in one of the travel cups. Upon very, very careful inspection, there were minuscule flecks of unprocessed kale floating in the smoothie but these were few and far between, and werent large enough to detect in the mouth when drunk. Crushing the ice in the travel cup gleaned far less than ideal results so I opted to try it in the pitcher instead. Dont get me wrong, I was reasonably satisfied with what the travel cup produced: well-crushed ice with some little chunks that escaped the wrath of the extractor blade. However, I wanted to see if the added surface of the pitcher would produce a better end result. (Image credit: Abigail Shannon) Sure enough, without much fuss, the pitchers blades managed to pulverize the cubes into fine, icy grounds that were just perfect for a snow cone or daiquiri. The Triple Prep Systems volume output hit a peak of 96db during this part of the test (roughly equivalent to some power tools). While this level of noise is certainly not pleasant to be exposed to for too long, it is a good bit higher than the blenders average which was closer to 87db. As testing continued, the Triple Prep System continued to impress. After mixing up a hummus recipe in the food processors work bowl on the dip preset and scraping the sides, I was treated to a creamy dip with zero unincorporated segments of chickpeas. Thicker blends sticking under the blades and on the edge of the container was a notable problem with the Nutribullet SmartSense that I found added extra time to making this simple, delicious recipe. Thankfully, the Triple Prep System avoids the same mistake. Image 1 of 2 (Image credit: Abigail Shannon) Image 2 of 2 (Image credit: Abigail Shannon) Next, I put its shred/slice disc to work on a block of cheese and found that it provided a result that was really consistent. However, the slight inconvenience of chopping the cheese small enough to fit through the narrow gap in the food processors lid might make this a less attractive option in the future. The only real disappointment I experienced during testing was how the Triple Prep System performed making mayonnaise. The pitcher was obviously too large to properly blend a batch, so I opted to use the food processor work bowl instead. The issue is that even when I doubled the usual recipe the container was still far too spacious. (Image credit: Abigail Shannon) An alternative mayonnaise recipe written specifically for a Nutribullet suggested using a 18oz cup, but the Triple Prep System not only doesnt include a container that small but doesnt have any more compact attachments that would allow you to gradually drip oil into the emulsion as its blending. So, unless youre anticipating mixing up an industrial-sized tub of mayo, its worth doing this recipe by hand or with an immersion blender. Performance score: 4.5/5 Should you buy the Nutribullet Triple Prep System? Nutribullet Triple Prep System score card Attribute Notes Score Value Its far from the lowest-cost option when it comes to blenders. But given the breadth of tasks it can be used for, its very good value. 4/5 Design Takes up more space than many blending solutions but attachments nest for storage. Build quality is very strong. 4.5/5 Performance Excels in almost every test. Great for smoothies, hummus, and crushing ice. Struggles with small batches. 4.5/5 Buy it if You want a complete food prep system If you're in the market for a personal blender, jug blender, and food processor all in one, the Nutribullet Triple Prep System has you covered. Youd like a blender with dishwasher-safe parts Once youre done blitzing up something tasty, you can just pop your pitcher, processor, or cup into the dishwasher. Theres no need to hang over the sink and wash them by hand. You struggle with chopping or dicing If your knife skills are lacking or you just want to save yourself some time and effort in the kitchen, the Nutribullet Triple Prep System is more than suited to stepping in as your sous chef. Don't buy it if You just need a blender for drink prep If youre not much of a home chef and solely see yourself using your blender for mixing up smoothies and shakes, the Triple Prep System is seriously overkill. Youre on a super tight budget At over $200, there are definitely lower-cost blenders you can opt for instead. Nutribullet Triple Prep System: also consider If youre on the look-out for options that are similar to the Nutribullet Triple Prep System, heres some alternatives worth considering: Nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo If you need a powerful base and multiple blender cup sizes but dont care for having a food processor, this is a slightly cheaper and more pared back alternative from the same brand. Read our full Nutribullet SmartSense Blender Combo review Breville the Fresh and Furious If youre a home cook but dont see yourself batch blending too often, it probably makes more sense to opt for a jug blender thats on the smaller side. While you dont get travel cups with this blender, it has a variety of useful presets and is ideal for singletons or small families. Read our full Breville the Fresh and Furious review How I tested the Nutribullet Triple Prep System Alongside my usual kitchen tasks, my testing involved using the Nutribullet Triple Prep System to make TechRadars standard test recipes. Throughout this process, I assessed the effectiveness of both manual and preset blending. I used a decibel tracker to determine how loud the blender is during use and after each blend, I cleaned the blender attachments and accessories by hand. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/home/juicers-blenders/nutribullet-triple-prep-system -review --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
