I make a lot of smoothies using ice and yogurt. This appliance will blend whatever is on the bottom and not mix the rest. This requires disassembling, stirring, reassembly, and mixing again. Sometimes it is necessary to do this multiple times. It works when just using liquid, powder, or fresh fruits, but not frozen.

This thing is a beast! It blends anything I throw at it, including nuts and grains! I don’t really use greens in my smoothies but I doubt it would have any trouble with those. I have zero complaints regarding the power or the ease of use, but there seems to be a flaw in the design of the blade - we aren’t supposed to remove the gasket but food particles do accumulate under it and cause mold. I’ve always cleaned the blade after every use with soapy water as instructed but it seems after using protein powder in the smoothies, some of that stays between the gasket and the plastic part causing mold to grow. Also, taking the gasket out for cleaning is extremely hard so I end up doing that maybe once a month. It’s a pain but I’ve already bought it and I’m happy with it otherwise. Maybe send me a dozen gaskets so I can throw out the moldy ones every month or so. Aside from this engineering flaw, the product is great!

I like to make healthy smoothies, and my husband likes milkshakes. I make both super fast with my NutriBullet Pro. I am able to make his milkshakes a little healthier by throwing in fresh fruits (strawberries) and they are ground to perfection in making his milkshakes.

I have had this for a little less than a month and it has been fantastic. There have only been a few days since I got it that i haven't made a smoothie in the morning. It is so much better than a blender because there is essentially no clean up for me in the morning other than the blade. It makes it super quick and easy to whip up a smoothie before work. It has really helped me to start my day off on the right foot with lots of healthy fruits, proteins, and greens. One of my flip top lids was chipped when I purchased the NutriBullet Pro and the customer services team was fantastic about sending me a replacement lid without any cost or hassle.

I've had it for a month and have brekkie smoothies almost every day. Love the flavor, the ease of cleaning and how little it takes up on the counter top (very small kitchen). The only gripe I have with it is when you add protein powder to the mix. Pops the gasket seal very VERY quickly and then it's mess time. Another reviewer has suggested adding the powder after everything is made smooth but it doesn't incorporate well at all. Not sure of what other way there might be but having said that, I tell any and all of the great product I purchased.

I cannot rate the value of this machine as it was a gift that I liked at first; gaskets have come out of the blade assembly; hard to get in the groves of the machine to blend; the lid loosens inside the machine and liquid goes all over; difficult to get the blade instrument clean when the gasket is in place; very difficult to clean the inside of the base when the liquid has leaked inside; seeds do not grind fully even in the 900 model.

This was given to me as a gift and I couldn't be happier! It grinds up everything including frozen fruits and veggies like nothing. It is a great way to get all my fruit and veggie servings in on days when I don't eat many, or just to enjoy a delicious drink!

My friend stayed at my place and left this as a gift. After letting it gather dust for awhile I decided I might as well use it. The two things that stand out t me are that not only does it chop up everything as promised but just as important how easy it is to clean. I've had blenders before but the whole process of cleaning them turned me off. I've started using the nutribullet pretty regularly and hoping the health and weight aspects start to kick in.

I bought this from Kohl's about 2 months ago. #1 First time use, it leaked, cleaned it but not well enough as it was very stuck the next time I tried to use it. Finally got it unstuck, worked well. The 3rd time the blade cut the rubber ring. The fourth time I used the other blade that has a good ring and it leaked everywhere again. #5 when I hold it down to blend, it is really hard. #6 I wish there would either be a timer for blending or an on/off switch. #7 How and where do I replace the rubber ring. #8 I have made the smoothies with what ingredients I have available, mostly spinach, yogurt, pecans ,walnuts, pineapple. Tastes O.K. Just doing to try to get results, not that I am crazy about it. Thanks,

I've tried other products looking to get healthy smoothies (Ninja, assorted high-speed blenders, etc.). They all promised smooth drinks with no grit or chunks. None of them worked well and each were returned just days after purchasing. Either they made gritty smoothies, were difficult to keep clean, or they were WAY too loud; one Ninja even routinely bogged down and had a smoking smell. The NutriBullet PRO was a pleasant surprise. Super easy to use, well built, relatively quiet, and it came with a variety of different size cups and lids, as well as a book with several recipes. I usually use the large container, putting in whole pieces of kale, cashews, apple slices, frozen strawberries, and a whole carrot, along with a liquid to get things going like coconut water, orange juice or almond milk. In less than 30 seconds I have a tasty, healthy smoothie with the consistency of a milkshake! I can get our daughter to eat veggies this way; she never eats veggies normally. Cleaning is easy. For the first month, we washed the container by hand - a couple drops of dish soap and hot water and running the NutriBullet PRO for a few seconds, then rinsing. This left a film on the plastic container. Now we just hand wash the blade base and run the cup through the dishwasher, and it comes out like new. My wife makes a "bullet" to take with her on the ride to work every morning, and I will have a bullet after my workout. Haven't tried using it for making soups yet but looking forward to it. If there were NutriBullet PROs in every office kitchen, school cafeteria and dorm room across the country I think we would have a much healthier nation.
