I have just purchased this machine having been assured I could blend nuts and dried fruits to make protein balls. After reading the manual and these reviews I think I have bought a smoothie maker which is not what will be my primary use. I do not add liquid during first blending process .....and then it may be honey .... Should I package this up and return it?
My smoothies were very minimal at first, I probably only made 8-10oz of smoothies but since I’ve been working out more, I’m making bigger smoothies 20oz or so and the blender is struggling. I would suggest getting a bigger blender if you make larger smoothies. This was nice for mixing margaritas, light blending and smaller smoothies.
Nutri bullett 900 was purchased thru TV announcement about 2 years ago. I know some people were blessed got a good product, rave about it but not me. I took good care of this or did because I have not used it in a very long time The motor stopped working, it will not turn unfortunately there is no manual with to see what could be wrong with it. I am very disheartened with this since I am a senior and need her smoothies.
We love this thing! I had my doubts, as I did not want goo to get stuck in the top or have to open it and shake items down for better blending. That has not happened even once! We have used frozen and not frozen items and they are blended in about 20 seconds. Often use spinach, blueberries, banana, strawberries, some fresh some frozen. With only two pieces to clean afterwards, it really has increased our veggie and fruit smoothies. Really great product!
