The Nutribulit Pro is high powered making faster in blending the kale and other porous vegetables. There are no chunks left like my previous Nutribulit. My family and I use it everyday. It worth the investment for your health.
I bought my NutriBullet 8 months ago. At around the 3 month mark one of the blade assemblies began to leak at the shaft seal. I switched to the provided 2nd blade assembly and it lasted around 3 months and it too began to leak at the shaft. I used the NutriBullet 1 or 2 times a day, seven days a week. Also, the larger cup's plastic tabs wore down so that the cup had to be held in place while the machine was on. I did not over fill the cups, but filled only to the mark on the cup. I called customer service, and after faxing them the required documentation, they sent me 2 new blade assemblies, and a new oversize cup, charging shipping only. They advised me to replace blade assemblies every 6 months or so, and to stop short of the fill line when putting items in the cup, as excess pressure could contribute to leaks. In that case, one orange overfills the included small cup, so what use is it? And how do you follow the recipes in the book if the stuff won't fit into the standard size cups? Only the oversize cup is practical. The fact is, the blade assemblies have too much play in the shaft, and this wears the seal out. The new blade assemblies seem tight, so I hope they don't fail so quickly. The NutriBullet works great otherwise, and the customer service is excellent.
The NutriBullet was a birthday gift that I requested. I went on a diet to lose weight and wanted to start my morning with a healthy low calorie shake. I use 1/2 green veggie 1/2 fruit pear or apple with some berries and flaxseed. Additional I add a serving of plain Greek yogurt for protein. I also learned how to make a coffee smoothie. 3/4C almond milk, tbs almond butter, tbs honey, 1/4C rolled oats, 1/4C coffee, ice and 1/2 banana. My husband has been making his jalapeño hot sauce and loves it too.
I bought the Pro over a month ago, and all 4 of us in the family use it every day. The Pro has changed the way we eat in a significant way. Finally, we are all eating a ton of vegetables. I feel great as a result. One minor niggle: The plastic cups have ended up a cloudy colour. On another note - I noticed the Consumer Report article that said the PRO has had problems over time - with hard use - with the blades chipping, which is a safety issue. I've told my family to rinse off the blade BEFORE drinking their shake, just to check that the blade is intact. It's a bit of a nuisance, but not a deal-breaker. It would be helpful for the company to make an official response to this, just to clear the air. Otherwise, this product is excellent value for money.
