Nutribullet Ultra Review

The motor base feels sturdier than previous models, especially the gears on the motor base. This includes thick fins to guide the jar into place, unlike the NutriBullet Pro+ and NutriBullet Pro 900. The jars and lids feel sturdy, and there are four suction cups under the body to keep it in place while the blender is running. However, the touch-sensitive buttons bring down its overall build quality score. It's very easy to accidentally turn the blender on while you're moving it since the buttons can be activated even if you're not actually touching them but hovering above them with your finger, as you can see in a video here. The blender won't start unless the jar is mounted on the base, so it's not a big safety issue, but it's annoying and not an improvement over previous models' regular button controls.
