This is the third one that I bought. I purchased the first one that was in the market and gave it to my daughter when I bought the next generation. This one I have in my second home in PA. I use the NutriBullet PRO two times daily and I love it. With it I was able to drop the cholesterol pill. Now my total cholesterol is 168. My blood pressure has come down too. Before I was taking three pills. Now is only one: half in the morning and the other half before going to bed.
It works way better than a blender. The container's shape makes it somewhat prone to getting knocked over and spilling. Sometimes I haven't had the blade lid as tight as it needed to be and the stuff leaked out. If it locked into place when closed and had a wider bottom so that it didn't knock over as easily it would be perfect.
I bought mine about six months ago. In the beginning I used it several times a day, I loved it so much. For the most part it works as advertised, but sometimes it shows a small leak at the base of the knife, on the outside. Hard to tell if it is the bearing oil or the the oil I add to the food. It is dark grey in color. The noise is horrible, but I put up with it knowing there is nothing I can do and the end result is worth it. Another good thing, it is very easy to clean. On the minus side, I wish it had a variable speed motor. Overall, I'm glad I got it. I can't believe people still juice fruit and vegetables and waste away the most valuable fiber.
I love this juicer. It purees everything and you get all the fiber you need. I add a few ingredients to up the fiber content. The ONLY complaint I have about the cups is when you put the blade on or the lid, getting it off is a beast. I have actually put rubber bands around the bottom of the cup so I can get some resistance and it's far easier to open.
I recommend putting a rubber bottom on the containers so they're not so hard to open. I can just imagine how it is to try to open if you have arthritis in your hands.
It saddens me to say that the nutri-bullet does not live up to the hype the company has released on it, it seems that the shark version of this products has addressed the problems with the nutri-bullet, and multiple times the unit open the cup and the contents spilled in the unit, the gasket was not made to stay in the unit while running, perhaps I got an all-around defective unit, like several peoples reviews I read on this product
