I was making smoothies before Jamba juice was popular. Im now making them with my Nutri bullet so much faster. I bought one for my daughter who has 3 kids. She makes them smoothies for their afternoon snack.
When it works it is a very powerful blender for smoothies etc. However I have replaced mine twice and the current one works sporadically and only when I hold the cup down on the mixer by hand as it no longer locks in place.
It's a great product. Had a few issues with my first one but then exchanged it and have not had a problem since. Would love to try the one but I would wait till they work out the bugs.
I bought the Nutri bullet Pro Dec 2013 and had to return it shortly afterwards. It did not allow me to mix unless I put full strength on it on the kitchen floor-if it ever did work!
ITS A GREAT ADDITION TO MY HOUSEHOLD. ONE WARNING.....IF YOU USE WHEY PROTEIN PUT IT IN AFTER YOU HAVE EVERYTHING GROUND. IT WEILL BUBBLE UP TOO MUCH, OPEN THE LID AND CHEW UP YOUR GASKET. THEY ARE $7 APIECE. DOES NOT MATTER HOW LOW YOU PUT YOUR INGREDIENTS.
THE GOOD; Used it for a year now and it has helped me change my life. Dozens around me have followed suit upon hearing my experiences. I have over 2000 friends,clients and aquaintences online who've all seen me go through this change. THE BAD; Those little plastic tabs on some of the jars have broken off rendering them as unusable... a friend got the 600 and it's clearly significally under-powered. I got the 900 and it still lacks the real power to get the job done on occasion. Also a heating feature would have been nice this past year. THE UGLY; Finally it is a bit too pricey for me to upgrade again right now.. *tears* lol ;)
I would have given the NutriBullet 5 stars, however the seal on the blade attachment has never stayed in place from the first time I used it. Other than that, it's great.
