Handy Enough But HARD to clean
on September 10, 2020

I've had mine for about 2yrs -- maybe 3, so it has a long life. But my main issue with it is that it is hard to clean. If I was blending something like celery, or any really fiberous or stringy vegetable or adding some kind or green powder to my smoothie, it was always really hard to clean the particles out of the grooves of the rim of the cup that screw into the blending lid or the to go lid, as well as the grooves in the to-go lid and gray part that housed the blending blades. It's hard to find anything short of a toothbrush --- and it would have to be a very stiff-bristled brush at that, to dislodge the food residue. And as I said, if the veggies/fruit were green, the gunk in the grooves was VERY apparent. No matter how well I cleaned or rinsed the parts out, I always felt that it wasn't clean enough and feared bacteria was growing in the grooves of the cup and the lip, so I added just a TAD of bleach to the water, and that didn't help as far as helping with the stains. Plus, after awhile, the sides of the cup started looking scratched as if I'd used a brillow pad to clean the inside of it, though I'd only ever used a sponge or washcloth. Now the entire cup looks dirty, even when it's clean. The area where the blades attach to the bottom of the gray plastic they're lodged in --- I can't tell if it's rust or just the accumulation of food residue that I could never completely wash off. Something needs to be altered with the design of the cup and lids so that food doesn't get stuck in the grooves so that bacteria can't grow in them. Also, more times than I can count, the lid would loosen while I was blending, even though I double-checked to make sure it was on tight before I turned the machine on, and liquid would leak out of the cup while I was doing something else as it was blending, and when I came back and turned off the machine and took the cup out of the housing base, there would be liquid that had seeped all down the holes at the bottom, and into the mechanism within the base and leak out the bottom. I'm surprised it's still running after all the times this has happened and has not caught on fire. So I give this an average rating for functionality --- in theory --- but the design desires something to be desired in terms of ease of cleaning and sanitary function.

It pulverizes everything for me

I bought the NutriBullet pro 1200w because I needed something that pulverized everything for me. I am unable to digest roughage, cruciferous vegetables etc. It's quite an adjustment for me. And I also cannot eat seeds and I haven't tried it out as of yet if it would pulverize the seeds. But I'm working on different things to help myself.

Original Nutribullet

I purchase the original Nutribullet when first sold in 2012. I still use it daily and it still works great. I have had to replace cups when I broke one and gaskets but otherwise nothing. It's a great investment and I would never be without one. I use it for more than smoothies:. pancake mix, nuts, bread crumbs, slushes, etc. Love it!

I have used my NutriBullet for over a year now and absolutely love it. It works great for making smoothies, mixing and chopping kale, frozen blueberries, ice cubes and just about any fruit or vegetable to a creamy smoothie. My only complaint is that the plastic container is a bit hard to keep clean. I wash by hand and because plastic is porous, it seems to smell like fermented fruit when it sits between uses. I have to re-wash before each use. It would have been a better product if the container was made of glass as it would have solved this issue. Other than this minor problem it is an excellent product.

It took me awhile to decide to purchase my NutriBullet, but it is, by far, one of the best decisions I have made. Started with it back in February of this year and with the exception of a few days here and there, use it daily. I start my morning off with a combination of veggies/fruit and often yogurt. I feel better, don't seem to eat as much or as often, seem to have more energy, sleep better and it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I am going to be 71 in February and although I haven't lost a big amount of pounds or become some health food junkie, I feel better than I have in years. I bought one for my son and have encouraged friends to purchase one.

Bought a year ago, needed to wear ear protection if you stand anywhere near the unit. Now the blade has started to smoke like there is no oil in the bearing??!!

Difficult to unscrew

Without a handle, it's difficult to get the cup/blended section from the base. With arthritis, it's doubly difficult. What's more the silver portion at the top of the device came off, and I can't get it back on. So it's sitting there. Further, after several uses, there was a distinct odor emanating from the unit after the second or third use. I sent the warranty in, but when I read it, there was a second portion of the warranty requiring me to return a written acknowledgement of having filled out the warranty card...I didn't realize it was a TWO-PART WARRANTY; I thought I was covered after completing the warranty online. WRONG!

I have had this for a little less than a month and it has been fantastic. There have only been a few days since I got it that i haven't made a smoothie in the morning. It is so much better than a blender because there is essentially no clean up for me in the morning other than the blade. It makes it super quick and easy to whip up a smoothie before work. It has really helped me to start my day off on the right foot with lots of healthy fruits, proteins, and greens. One of my flip top lids was chipped when I purchased the NutriBullet Pro and the customer services team was fantastic about sending me a replacement lid without any cost or hassle.
