I need a little practice as I have been having a small bit of banana left over, even after I think I have mixed it thoroughly. But it is 1000x better than the smoothie maker I had previously. No need to shake or jam stuff down with a spoon. This has a LOT of power and chops through just about anything.
I got this as a replacement for a previous NutriBullet Pro 900 that began smoking one day while in operation. We only had this product for 18 months and it failed in a glory of smoke. We are anxiously awaiting how long this NutriBullet will last.
I purchased my bullet to make fresh juice for out of town guests on a restrictive diet. This addition to my small urban kitchen was to replace my workhorse of a commercial grade Champion juicer which still functions well after 30 years, but is heavy to move and time consuming to clean.
