nutribullet 1200W Full-Size Blender NBF50400
A single 64-ounce pitcher with manual speeds, without single-serve cups
The NBF50400 is the pitcher-only nutribullet blender: a 1200W base, 64-ounce pitcher with integrated blade, vented lid and tamper. Its guide requires liquid in every recipe and rules out ice crushing and dry grinding, and the maker's hot-liquid FAQ contradicts the manual's lid-cap instruction.

- 64-ounce (1.8 L) pitcher with integrated blade
- Controls: POWER, LOW, MED, HIGH and PULSE

- Cord length 29.5 inches (maker)

- Pitcher is dishwasher-safe per the guide, avoiding the sanitize cycle
- Simple three-speed and pulse controls that run until you stop them
Caveats
- Maker FAQ and user guide give opposite lid-cap instructions for hot liquids
- Guide says it is not an ice crusher and must always have liquid added
- Listing and maker give different dimensions and weight
