I have a Vitamix but it isn't great for smaller batches and 16 oz smoothies. For insurance, making cashew butter. The Vitamix leaves unchopped nuts in the corners when making nut butters. The NitriBullet Pro doesn't have this problem. At worst, you'll need to take the bullet container off and shake it a few times to get a thoroughly complete and even blending.
For bigger jobs the Vitamix wins, but for most day to day power blending jobs (like making smoothies), the Nutri Bullet is easier to use and to clean than the Vitamix.
I received my nutriBullet as a surprise Christmas gift from my husband and I'm loving it. It lives up to it's claims. Simple to use, super easy to clean, and the combinations are endless for what you put in. I am probably for the 1st time in my life regularly eating both my fruits and veggies. 100% for those who don't eat enough greens. I add flax seed or chia seeds to most of my blends.
I started to eat healthier and losing weight 10 months ago and I wanted more healthy recipes to expand my choices. I received my NutriBullet Pro as a gift one month ago. I downloaded the free app and made recipes that came with the NutriBullet Pro. I am having so much fun trying new recipes. I made carrot soup, chia, banana pudding and many smoothies. I am making a different kind of smoothie every 2 days and having them for breakfast. I have lost another 10 pounds! I tell everyone how great the NutriBullet is for their health. It is a simple way to get in your greens, fruits, veggies and protein. I feel the best I have ever felt in over 20 years. Also, Everything is so quick to prepare and clean up. It is a no brainer.
This was Christmas gift from my wife. I had been using a Osterizer for making high protein vegetable and fruit smoothies for breakfast. The bullet is not only better, is is also safer to use.
The nutribullet pro works much more efficiently than my blender. I love that it’s slim design takes up less space on my counter top as well. It’s easy to clean and cuts my morning smoothie routine time in half. I also use less dishes!
It screams, it smokes, it leaks. It blends fine if you wear ear protection, use it under an exhaust fan, and figure out a way to rinse smoothie out of the motor. If I had it to do again, I wouldn't get one if they were giving them away. It is so disappointing that I am writing my first review ever!
