I really liked this blender to start but then after my rubber gasket got caught on the blade and broke, I took a closer look at the blade piece and there was plastic(?!) shards coming out of the center. Also a ring of almost like, a rubbery glue like substance around it.
I've owned my NutriBullet 900 series for over 10 years. It remains awesome. It cleans easily & will blend pretty dense stuff if I miscalculate what I put into it (hummus, for example.) I do have to take a sponge to the inner ribs of the cup from time to time, again depending what I put into it. I decided to leave a review because I'm helping my friend shop for a similar product.
He sent me a picture of something similar he found at his local market, and I checked reviews. HARD NO. So many reviews said this USB-charged product did not hold a charge. I told him to hold out until he could get NutriBullet 900 series.
I just made my first smoothie with it and it's delicious. It's probably too early to post a review, but it was so easy and tasty that I came back to the website to buy some more cups to hold my future smoothies :D
Other powerful blenders are just too big for me and bulky to handle. And small blenders I tried before were weak and created motor burning smells when making smoothies. After researching for a long time and watching many reviews and videos, I chose Nutribullet. It does everything what I need to be done. It's strong, compact and so easy to clean!
I miss my original one I had, it was just as powerful and a little smaller. I have trouble unscrewing the blade because I can’t wrap my hand around the wider container as well. Also the rubber gasket keeps popping out.
I've had a nutribullet for over 10 years. I wanted to upgrade to the Pro 900. I make a smoothie every morning and the Pro 900 is next level! It is so powerful; it makes making smoothies easier and faster. The new matte colors make this purchase a must!
