I really like this blender and the convenience of it. It's easy to clean and great to blend and go. The reason I'm not rating it 4 stars is I feel like sometimes it does not have enough blending power, especially for bigger frozen chunks.
Too dangerous, a flawed concept. The danger comes from a combination of 3 factors: 1. The bladed motor can be left bare on the unit, 2. All it takes is pressure to activate it, and 3. The device has no off switch, so as long as it’s plugged in, it’s on and ready to spin at full speed in a split second. It’s simply too easy to leave the bladed motor unit in the machine (an act encouraged by the upside down container), and too easy to be tempted to clean it out, dust it, etc. while in that state. Push too hard and your fingers will be gone. Or push too hard if you put the bare motor unit in, same result. Should only be capable of being activated with a push of a button, or least it should have an off switch. Get a regular blender, a time tested design that’s far safer. The bullet designs are simple kitchen appliances made far too dangerous by requiring too much caution from the user.
I I can’t believe it but this thing just died mid blending and will not turn on mind you I have only had it about three weeks. I am very disappointed because it was doing until this occurred.
The nutribullet is the best "Blender" we have out of the 5 we own. We make smoothies, protein shakes, and daquiris with ease. We absolutely love it. BTW this is our second one because we burned the first one out after having it for 4 years. When a product works well, you will buy it as many times as needed!
