I brought this blender last year after burning through a Magic Bullet blender and readying many reviews. I hate this blender. While powerful, the cup size is too big (not single serving), difficult to secure and insecure and constantly leaking.
I had this blender for just over 3 months. Now it stop working. I called my insurance and they send a technician. He open it up and there he showed me the problem. The plastic that holds a screw in place had just cracked, it is very brittle. This is where the cup sits and pushes down on a blade that activates one of the switches. This base was made with the cheapest plastic. It can not withstand the pressure from the spring and the high power motor vibration.
This is my 2nd Nutribullet. I love them . First one I used it about 6 years. First Bled started leaking So I got another bled and Still working. I use this one for CHATNI. Second nutribullet I just brought For smoothies.
I really like this blender and the convenience of it. It's easy to clean and great to blend and go. The reason I'm not rating it 4 stars is I feel like sometimes it does not have enough blending power, especially for bigger frozen chunks.
Too dangerous, a flawed concept. The danger comes from a combination of 3 factors: 1. The bladed motor can be left bare on the unit, 2. All it takes is pressure to activate it, and 3. The device has no off switch, so as long as it’s plugged in, it’s on and ready to spin at full speed in a split second. It’s simply too easy to leave the bladed motor unit in the machine (an act encouraged by the upside down container), and too easy to be tempted to clean it out, dust it, etc. while in that state. Push too hard and your fingers will be gone. Or push too hard if you put the bare motor unit in, same result. Should only be capable of being activated with a push of a button, or least it should have an off switch. Get a regular blender, a time tested design that’s far safer. The bullet designs are simple kitchen appliances made far too dangerous by requiring too much caution from the user.
