Was enjoying product with no problems, about twice a week, when at the 6 month mark I started having a hard time getting it to "start". When I go to push the cup/blade down on the base, nothing happens. I have to try about 10 tiny adjustments in angle to get the motor to start. Very frustrating.
Have had my Bullet for several months now and not disappointed. I haven't found anything it couldn't handle blending. The only drawback is sometimes the rubber seal comes out when you take the blade off. This is a bit of a problem if you are adding more food or liquids.
My husband and I both love it. We use it almost every day. We use it mainly for smoothies with greens, fruits and nuts. It is easy to use. It is easy to clean. Very quickly you can make a very healthy, delicious, satisfying breakfast or snack.
I bought this item several months ago...for some reason it seems like it doesn't run as fast, so it takes longer to blend my smoothie. Also, the gasket seems to slip sometimes and therefore I have to be sure it's sealed or it oozes out the sides when blending.....still love it though.
I use this a couple times a day. For shakes, a nutritional green shakes , also make a mix of lemon juice , Apple cider vinegar, honey, cinnamon,water for an alkaline abdominal balance.. Would be lost without the nutra bullet .
I bought my 900 a few months ago and so far I am very pleased with it! It has had no problems extracting what ever I have used. Great for smaller quantities whereas the Vitamix is better for multiple servings.
