This is sure a powerful blender and could rival the Vitamix but the blade comes dull as heck! I’m looking forward to getting it professionally sharpened; once I do that I think I’ll have a great blender! It would be nice if they’d actually manufacture sharp blades though. Also, you need quite a bit of liquid in it. It doesn’t work for making really thick ice cream style blends.
I bought this primarily to make protein shakes and other drinks. It is very powerful and easy to use but it has several less than optimum features such as: 1. The cup does not have measurement marks. 2: The blender portion has a deep recess that is very difficult to clean instead of a flat mating surface o-ring. 3. The drinking lids thread into the inside of the cup so when the lid is attached you have another surface to catch material and if you want to subcool the mixture that will freeze to a tight seal.
I really like it. I only hope that it will last long. Usually with this type of item, they get easily worn out and you have to buy a new one. I bought the toughest, so hopefully it'll last!
With 900 watts of power this little blender destroys frozen berries in seconds without pause. I have had mine for over a year now and it has not broken down once. If I could make a few recommendations I would like to see these made so that the blending lid is easier to tighten and remove. If the blending lid is not correctly tightened the mix comes out the edges or the lid unscrews a bit while blending. Get the lid correctly tightened and it can be difficult to remove since it has nothing to grab hold of. If your hands are slightly wet it becomes nearly impossible to remove. I also wish they weren’t so loud. But I also know that sound suppression would add bulk.
This is the third NutriBullet I have owned, so obviously I like the product. However, on this order, the blades were defective, as the rubber gasket around it came loose on my first smoothie. I contacted customer service and they are going to send me another one. My complaint here is the replacement is on backorder so I don't know when I will receive it.
Ever since I bought this ...the rubber ring from the lid falls into the liquid when I screw the lid off. This is annoying as I need to place it back in the lid...sometime a challenge as it twists on itself.
My husband & I have a smoothie everyday! Grass fed plain yogurt, kefir milk, berries, chia, flax & hemp seeds & whey isolate protein powder. The Nutribullet helps us stay healthy! We love it!
