I received this as a Christmas gift and love it! It is fast and does the job just as the ads say! I'm learning so many recipes! Learning to be creative with my own ideas as well!
I've only had my NutriBullet for a month, but I use it almost every day and it is amazing. My blender wasn't powerful enough to produce really smooth, creamy smoothies but the NutriBullet has made a world of difference - green smoothies with vegetables and grainy fruits come out perfect. I also use it frequently while cooking to make sauces/soups as I do not have a good food processor. I can run it for a couple seconds and leave it chunky or run it for 30-40 seconds and it comes out smooth.
For cleaning, I normally rinse right after using or will sometimes use soap with a scrubber and I haven't had any problems with food being lodged. If you don't clean immediately after use, I could see it being difficult to get food out of the knooks and cranies of the blade (you could probably disassemble the base to clean thoroughly - I haven't looked into this).
Overall I love this and hope it will hold up for years to come. I'm very pleased with my gift :)
I really like the way this machine grinds all the ingredients into a smooth texture. It would be perfect except for the leaking. If you don’t get it screwed on super tight it leaks After blending the lid gets tighter. Difficult to unscrew. So it adds a lot of aggravation and time to my morning routine. I would opt for a good quality blender instead.
I have digestive issues, poor sleep, and severe restless leg which makes me jumpy and anxious. I decided to give the Nutri Bullet a try a few days ago because I was having so much trouble digesting my food and feeling uncomfortable all the time. I had severe IBS for over a decade many years ago and it has affected things since. I have to say in the 5 days I've been using it I feel pretty much 100% better. I sleep better, less restless leg medicine, my body is calmer and I am not feeling the anxiety I was before, particularly in the evenings when the RLS would really become obnoxious. I have significantly more energy and my digestive tract is not bothered by anything I've tried to blast so far. I have a lot more energy throughout the day and it is a lot easier to ingest a wider variety of nutritious foods. I have an autoimmune disease and have been eating organically for years but was limited in what I could eat. I found juicing to be a terrible waste of good food and horrendously difficult to clean up after. Although I am not making the drinks on the sweet side, my system is craving them and I am assuming my body is getting nutrition it has sorely needed for a long time. I am now making these for a family member who had surgery due to crohns disease and has trouble eating many things that are healthy for her and absorbing proper nutrition from what she does eat. I just feel more peaceful, I don't know how else to describe it and this is a new thing for someone who meditates almost daily. I have arthritis in my hands and I cannot open the jars with my hands only but have found it simple enough to hold the jar close to my body and use my arm to twist it off. Something was missing before, a lot of somethings I suspect. I recommend this to anyone.
