I have owned and loved my Magic Bullet for about four years, and used it almost daily, but wanted something with more power. The Nutribullet Pro is everything I wanted! I can grind up a sliced apple with core and skin, celery, carrots, nearly anything! It's fantastic. My advice is to make sure to count when blending and don't exceed 30 seconds at a time to avoid burning out the motor. I think that's why mine has lasted so long.
Downsizing our household. Formerly using a Ninja Pro that was big & heavy (yes, effective) but that blade was vicious! My husband cut himself TWICE handling it. THIS unit takes up micro-space on the counter (because I never put it away - always in use) and does an even better job at grinding the seeds and fibrous veggies than the Ninja. My ONLY complaint is the size/shape of the bottle. I have very small hands and arthritis. Gripping the wide mouth of the bottle is a problem - for ME. Otherwise - it gets a 5+ star rating!
