Gets hot with only a few seconds of use (fruits, liquid and leafy vegetables - no ice but frozen bananas). Don't really get the smoothie consistency was expecting with the pro model, not much difference from regular nutri-bulet model.
My wife and I purchased this about 2-months ago to try to eat/drink better and skip the morning breakfast foods. Great boost in the morning, all natural.
I am a total supporter of NutriBullet. I bought my first unit when it was first introduced. About a month ago, I bought a new one, because my original one didn't work one morning (or so I thought). Since I use it almost every day, I thought I had worn it out. I brought my new one home; the next morning, just on a chance, I tried my old one first. Lo..it worked again. I think I had just momentarily overheated the motor. So, I'm still using the first unit, and I keep the second as a spare. I couldn't do without it!!
