I got this blender to replace my dad's older nutribullet and he loves it! It quicker and quieter than the one he had. The Ultra is super powerful and blends everything from frozen berries, seeds, and peanut butter like a dream!
This nutribullet Ultra blender is very well made. The materials are thick, fit well together, and feel solid overall. The blending cycle is relatively short, yet the smoothies are blended well. Jar and blade are top-rack dishwasher safe (if you don't use high-heat - according to manual). The blender arrived quickly and was packaged exceptionally well. Really happy with the purchase.
We like it other than the lids/blade get stuck on the cups while blending and completely seals shut. Apparently, if it’s too full or something you can’t take the blade off the cup due to air suction. We’ve never had that problem with any other nutribullet we’ve had. And it’s impossible to twist it off once it gets stuck. We’ve tried every suggestion online and already had to throw 2 cups and blades away because they will not twist off.
Noisy - it is supposed to be ultra quiet but it is not. Also, our old containers don't work on it. Works as it should but it is far noisier than the old one. I am not sure that it is worth the extra dollars for the top model.
