I like it better than a blender because the cups make portion sizes easier. Also I like the ease of being able to drink right from the cup you blended in. The cups and blade are all easy to clean when you do as directed. I have always liked making smoothies for breakfast or lunch, but now its so easy to do, that it's part of my daily routine. Its a great way to sneak in superfoods as well.
I have had my old Nutribullet for over 2 years. It doesn't leak and works great. I even travel with it on the airlines with no trouble in carry on luggage ... Great product !
For example: the rotor part that rotate with the motor and turns the extractor blades is made out of plastic without a reinforcing structure, after eight month of daily use it broke.
Easy to use, easy to clean up, no waste because contents literally pulverize. It's fun to create combinations. Drinks made with some protein satisfy hunger for hours.
