This is my 2nd machine. I love it! I use it everyday and feel so much better because of it. I don't always eat well, so this helps me do something for my body that it needs.
I've been using this to make smoothies, and it does a great job. It leaves a nice, smooth texture when using leafy greens and fruits and vegetables. My only complaint it that the cups have no handles. They are hard to hold with one hand, and this makes it difficult to drink from the cup you mixed the smoothie in.
I have been using my Nutribullet for over a year and decided to order a Nutribullet Pro base to have smoother smoothies as I use mostly veggies. Fits all of the regular Nutribullet containers and blades AND performs as well as my Vitamix. Easier to use than Vitamix and very portable ( take it to work with veggies precut, blend at lunch!). Also, use VegaOne protein powder if you need more flavor/protein. Makes me eat my veggies!
This is my second purchase. I used the first one so much, I wore out something and it no longer worked. No I did not have a warranty. My second purchase has a warranty and still going strong! I look forward to buying the latest model soon. You can't go wrong.
