I have been using this machine for about 4 months and it has been working great. You just have be careful not to over fill the jar. If you over fill the jar too often you will burn out your motor, as you can hear the motor straining when there isn't enough air space at the top of the jar. The owner's manual also clearly specifies not to over fill the jars. Which brings me to my final point. The only reason why I did not give the machine 5 starts is that it did not come with the larger jar, which I had to order separately, in a kit that came with another spare regular size jar with handle, a lid and another blade assembly.
I received this as a gift from my son at Chistmas. I love it and don't know how I got along without one. Fast to prepare all kinds of shakes no matter what type of diet you are on. I use every day, and I look and feel great!
Owned less than 30 days, use daily, motor just stopped and base won't unlock cup. Of course, after hours for customer service/support!!! Soooo frustrating to spend so much money for a product that doesn't last 30 days!
I bought the NutriBullet 900 - the second generation with a bigger 900 watt motor. Now there is a 3rd generation that makes soup, so I may get that one. What's great about the NutriBullet is the easy clean up. You drink your smoothie out of the container you made it in. The only thing that can't go in the dishwasher are the blades. I would like to know how often those should be washed, as I tend to use the NutriBullet everday and not hand wash the blades very often because I use the dishwasher most of the time. There is one design flaw. On the tall cup the "fill" line is at the same height as the smaller cup. So if you follow that printed line on the cups then you put no more ingredients into the tall cup than you would the small cup. So I fill up the tall cup to the level I think is OK for the machine. The booklet they sent is well produced. But there is one discussion missing which is important to some of us. There is a line of thinking in nutrition that advocates proper food combining. People that follow this don't mix fruits and vegetables together in the same meal. I would lke to see this discussed by the nutrition expert who pitches this product - David Wolfe.
