I bought this for my husband who is trying to eat healthier snacks. He is enjoying it but so are my two teenagers. We add fresh or frozen fruits, fresh veggies, soy milk and never add sugar instead add a few dried dates for sweetness and our smoothies are delicious!! Cleaning is simple too! We feel this was a very good purchase!
My daughters gave this for Xmas and it's the best present that I've ever received...I bought a $375 juicer from Bed Bath Beyond but this was a pain to use. A lot of clean up to the point it just sits on my shelves. This is not as large capacity wise as my $375 but it gives me approx. 16+oz's which is perfect for 1 person. The clean up is super quick and easy. Really makes a great smoothie that I use daily for lunch or my dinner...
As long as I put the right combination of food and liquid in there the first time, it's one and done. Also love that I don't have to transfer my smoothies to another dish to take them with me, although I always do because I prefer using my double-walled, insulated cups. :-) Glad I don't have to hold the cup down for the motor to work as I'm told that similar brands require this.
I wish there was an easier way to clean spills in the top of the base. As a newbie, I didn't screw the lid on quite tightly enough on my first try, so there was spillage. Had to be creative to get it clean without damaging the unit. Otherwise, I love it!
Very powerful, leaves the regular model in its dust. Having IBS, it's just great for me to have everything liquified so effortlessly and quickly. It's much noisier of course, but for me it is worth it. The first few times I used it, the suction was so strong that when I tried to unscrew the blade, that the gasket came loose … it may be that I was filling the cup too high … never had the problem since.
I have been using a Blendtec for years and absolutely love it, but my kids and I drink daily smoothies and differ in what we like in them. I love the Nutribullet because we can make personal smoothies and the cleanup is super easy.
Received mine as a Christmas gift. Works great. Cleans up great. One suggestion is to induce you to provide a fitted matching plastic topper or lid/cover to keep out dust/debris accumulation in the upper compartment of the main unit between uses.Also would help the general appearance, while sitting on the kitchen counter.
