NBR-1201 12-Piece High-Speed Blender/Mixer System, Gray (600 Watts)

Use it daily and love it. Here are some tips: For longevity, buy a new blade for 7.99 periodically. They sell them here on amazon. You'll notice a lot less noise and less stress on the motor and faster blending. The blade screw lid is also where these leak after awhile.. So replace it. Make sure you dont break the interlocking plastic tabs off the cup when turning it on. If it doesnt seat, pick the cup up and turn the little rubber spinning wheel on the blender and try ti reseat the cup again. If you use force it will break the tabs like I've done. Not to fear, you can also buy the replacement plastic blender cup on amazon for cheap. Might as well upgrade to the larger cup for a few more ounces while youre at it. Nutribullet pairs extremely well with blender bottles. Pour your smoothies directly into the blender bottles and screw the lid on. Shake it periodically, before you drink to shake the contents that have settled. Blender bottles are also great because you'll never get smoothie on your face when drinking like i often did drinking from the plastic cup or from a glass. Blender bottles should come standard with the nutri bullet... It changed my smoothie game! Don't get diabetes. People load these up with fruit and give themselves a huge glucose spike which is actaully really bad for you. You should aim to mostly use vegetables and a protien or carb and only add enough sugar for taste. Frozen mixed berries and strawberries work really well opposed to fruit found in the produce section that spoil in a few days. You'll have much less waste using frozen berries. To clean the blender, after pouring your smoothie into a blender bottle or glass, put a cup of of water back into the cup and run the blender for for 5 seconds. This will dislodge your smoothie from the blades and the sides of the blender cup. Pour this watery mix into your blender bottle and shake shake shake it baby. When you're done making a smoothie you'll want to drink it and forget about washing the blade and cup... Don't do that. Run the cup under your faucet for a few seconds to dislodge the smoothie so it doesnt harden. Same for the blade. Grab the under side of the blade and spin it while spraying it woth water from the faucet as to dislodge all the bits of smoothie from the different angles on the blade. Back to blender bottles, buy one size larger then the capacity of your nutri bullet as to fit all you're smoothie and also have a bit of room to shake shake shake it. In this lesson, you have learned how to replace commin maintenance parts, how to uograde your nutribullet capacity, how to change youre smoothie game level by using blender bottles, how to easily clean your nutri bullet and how to make a smoothie without spiking your blood glucose levels.

Dear potential buyers, The NutriBullet is a high-quality blender that will last. My brother has had his NutriBullet for a couple years and loved it; so, I finally purchased this two months ago, in December. My experience with this blender, so far, has been nothing other than great. A few premium assets that come with this NutriBullet are 2 different blades, lids, a pocket nutritionist, a cookbook, and more. If you live active, busy, healthy lifestyle or you like to be adventurous in the kitchen, then this blender is perfect for you. You can whip up a smoothie, grab a lid, and bring it on the go wherever you go. What's great is that if you are new to taking on a healthy lifestyle and are unsure how to use your blender or what to put in it, the cookbook provides a ton of great recipes that have been tested and approved. Issues that I have had in the past with blenders is the texture of the smoothie that I am left with. When I would put spinach and berries into a smoothie I would be left with a gritty and seedy smoothie which was not too pleasant to drink. With the NutriBullet, I have not had any issues with the texture of my smoothies. The blades of the NutriBullet breakdown all of the components in my smoothie, creating a smooth and creamy texture. This blender is not just for smoothies. You can do so much more than that. Get creative and use your NutriBullet to make your own pasta sauces, ice cream, almond milk, hummus, nut butter, and even guacamole. Making these things with the NutriBullet saves you time because of its high-speed blending capabilities and also saves you time due to minimal cleanup. Normally if you were to make guacamole you would be using a couple different utensils, cutting boards, and bowls; however, when you use the NutriBullet to make your guacamole, you are only using one single utensil. No need for chopping and prepping your ingredients before, just toss it all in the NutriBullet and let it do it's thing. Once the guacamole is done, all you have left to do is to clean the NutriBullet cup and blade! It's so simple and convenient. So, if you are debating on what blender to buy for the best deal and quality, I couldn't recommend the NutriBullet more. It really does it all! Sincerely, Hannah

Good product

Wow! First of all the price was unbelievably low. I paid $68 for a brand new Nutribullet 600. I ordered it on Tuesday, June 2 and it arrived on Thursday, June 4. How is that even possible? I've had a Breville Compact Juicer for over a year but don't use it anymore because every time I juice I need a shower afterwards. Pieces of veggies fly out of the shoot and end up in my hair, on my clothes and all over my kitchen. On top of that it takes about 15 minutes to clean. The cup is filled with foam after juicing and it's extremely expensive to use because it takes so many veggies to make a full glass. I have some health issues to reverse and a bunch of weight to lose and after seeing an infomercial for the Nutribullet one night I decided to do some research and check out some youtube videos. Because I was able to find the Nutribullet 600 for such a low price and because many reviews and videos mentioned that there's very little difference between the 600 series and the 900 series I decided to buy the 600. The Nutribullet I received has the new blade so hopefully I won't have the rusting and leaking issues I read about in earlier reviews. In fact, one of the youtube videos shows the old blade and new blade next to each other so I know I received the upgraded version. My first smoothie, or Nutriblast wasn't great because I used too many greens and not enough fruit. Except for that making the smoothie and cleaning up was flawless. For tonight's smoothie I used the smaller cup and a different blend of ingredients and it was much better. I used too much liquid tonight so it wasn't as creamy as I would have liked. I see this is a matter of mastering the recipes, like preparing any other meal, I bought the extended warranty offered by Amazon for only $5. It's much more expensive on the Nutribullet website. I think I'm going to love this little workhorse. I have a fridge full of organic fruit and organic veggies and I hope by this time next week I can update this review with a glowing report of better health and more energy. ** Update: Very happy to report this unit is working flawlessly! Tonight I made the most delicious smoothy ever using frozen organic blueberries, frozen organic strawberries, organic baby spinach, Barleans flax oil, organic vanilla yogurt, almond milk (couldn't find organic). So incredibly delicious and easy. I called Nutribullet Tech Support to get some guidance about the rust issues other people have been reporting. Spoke to an incredible support tech named Michael. He explained to me that all appliances of this kind contain lubricating oil to keep the gears running smoothly. If the unit is damaged because of misuse the oil can leak from the section housing it. If the unit is not damaged the section containing the lubricating oil should remain intact. He explained that sometimes people don't know they damaged the unit because it continues working. He suggested changing the blade every 6 months as a precaution. Hope this helps.

I thought this might end up just another kitchen gadget I'd pick up and forget about in the junk wasteland of the house or it would break down fast. I got it in late 2015. I don't know how many times I've used it but I estimate a very conservative minimum of 500 times. Durable, reliable, consistent. Used it dry on spices, coffee beans, oats, and wet with fruits and veggies in a smoothie, especially used it for banana ice cream, etc. A few things it wasn't getting smooth like lemon peel, and a little bit of a design issue with a piece that is under the blade that might be mold predisposed if you don't dry properly. Be careful with that because it's not one you'd know to look for or something obviously detachable. Underside of the blade can be difficult to clean well for some things. Minor design flaws in a very good little machine. Clean it immediately. Don't mess around. I purchased with an extended warranty and am surprised I haven't had occasion to use it yet. Well done. Edit: It lasted nearly five, very consistent years and is now finally done-for. I didn't think it was worth trying to fix, considering it was getting old for a small, worn appliance. It was just a broken piece of plastic holding one of the screws for the three tabs needed to be depressed and held to run the machine. Other than that it was still running just fine, even despite a couple times where I ran it a little hot. There is another concern of the milling blade attachment having pitting and the plastic right around the top where the blade is being worn and potential ingestion. But keep in mind, the overall purchase was very positive. I did quit using the milling blade well before this, but after thousands of uses overall, I certainly praise the company for keeping the price down on such a tough little machine. I wasn't easy on it, and I could've cleaned the non-cup/blade portion better on top of that.

My husband and I were doing the Whole30 and decided to try the NB as a way of eating more veggies and fruits and I can't say how much I love this thing. I hate dark leafy greens like spinach and kale etc. but I was willing to give it a try albeit with a massive dose of skeptisicm. I honestly couldn't even tell it was in there when I was done making my first smoothie. I'm one of those people who buys fresh fruit with good intentions (grapes are a prime example) and end up throwing them out three weeks later when I find them disintegrating at the back of the crisper drawer. No more! Now I get them home, peel, chop, wash and pop them in the freezer in easy to get to bags for use in my smoothies. Sometimes I will do the berries and sometimes I will do a tropical one with pineapple, banana and orange segments, maybe melon, a handful of red grapes in whichever flavor I'm trying - every one with kale, spinach, carrots and any other veggie I need to disguise beyond recognition. I am so hooked that if my NB broke I would have to go out that very day and purchase a replacement. I wondered how they'd be if I took one to work to drink after my lunch break speed walk on the treadmill. Using one of the stainless steel, double wall, vacuum insulated drink holders from such as HydroFlask or Healthy Human and a few other sellers on Amazon, I made a smoothie at 7:30am and didn't drink it until 2pm. I did put it in the fridge as soon as I got to work and when I retrieved it, with some trepidation, found it was as good as if I'd just made it. I now take one every day as an afternoon treat (yes that includes kale in a sentence describing a treat!). The milling blade works great too. I have used it to mill chia seeds and various nuts which end up in powder form and perfect as a smoothie booster. And last but not least - this thing is amazingly quick and easy to clean. It takes little more than a rinse, two pieces; the lid and the cup and your're done. No awkward tops, bowls and blades to take apart and wash carefully as if one false move will result in a trip to the ER. The whole unit has only a tiny footprint on your counter and every inch is worth the real estate. I have had no issues with leaking or anything else. I screw the lid on properly and don't fill it past the max line as per the instructions. After washing and rinsing I dry it and place it ready for the next one which won't be too far into the future :) If you want to eat more fruit and veggies this is an excellent way to do it - it works great for me every single day.

We tried juicing, which we did for about 2 weeks. Four juices apiece for my husband and I per day. I did enjoy them, but emptying out all that wasted pulp really started to get me down, especially because in those 2 weeks, I spent a LOT of money on the produce. So, my husband bought me the Nutri Bullet and my juicer hasn't been touched once since then. I read through a lot of reviews before I decided to spend the $100, and while most of them were good, there were some that had me concerned. Leaking which leads to rusting? No thanks! Too loud? Hopefully they're exaggerating, I thought. Not once have I had a leak, I think the people who have had that problem didn't have the blade on tightly enough. I've even filled past the Max line a lot of times and never had it leak. And the loudness, I can honestly say I don't notice a difference compared to any other blender I've used. And it works like a charm! By the time I'm finished making my drink, it is almost as smooth as my juicer made it. Unless of course I add something that thickens it, like oats or yogurt or something. I love the fact that you have so many more options with this machine! Fruits and veggies, yeah, but you can add so much more. I've experimented with flax seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanut butter, almonds, almond milk, protein powder, and even frozen berries. All with no problems at all! After drinking a tall glass from my juicer, I still felt unsatisfied, which made me eat shortly after I finished. I actually gained 5 pounds in the 2 weeks I used my juicer. But when I make a smoothie with my Nutri Bullet, I feel as full as if I'd eaten a regular meal. I've been replacing my breakfasts with smoothies and don't even feel hungry til around lunch time. And of course I have to mention the ease of clean up! My juicer required an extra 20 minutes or so after each use, just for cleaning it. But with the Nutri Bullet, you really do just have to rinse it with hot water and it comes clean nicely. All in all, I would definitely recommend this product to anybody who is trying to up their fruits/veggies intake. I would also suggest that along with looking up recipes online, they should also experiment and make up their own combinations. It is great for the whole family, and a way to sneak some veggies into a picky child's diet. And believe me, the cost of ingredients for it is less than 1/2 what I paid for ingredients for my juicer. So, if you're thinking about buying it but are unsure, I say go for it! Just make sure the lid is on tightly, and you wont regret it.

I bought this because I've been the owner of a Magic Bullet for over three years now and I've enjoyed the simplicity of it all. My girlfriend and I wanted to switch diets from Atkins, which works fantastic for fat loss, to green drinks twice a day and a normal lunch. I first saw this at Christmas time, my stepmother got one, and I didn't know what the differences between it and my Magic Bullet were. A few quick searches revealed that this has a stronger motor, more blades, and bigger cups. It actually makes quite a difference. While my Magic Bullet had been used mostly to make fruit smoothies, it did seem to lack in the juicing area. This is probably more due to the cup size and the motor. Smoothies last; they're thick, they're rich, they're delicious. But as I quickly found out last night (had my first juicing experience!) juice does not last! I guess it's because they're not as thick... I have a tendency to drink them faster. So the additional volume of the Nutri Bullet's cup size is definitely good. Aside from that, operation is the same - simple, fast, and easy easy easy to clean. Just rinse it out when you're done and let it air dry. Don't leave the blades in water - my girlfriend did that with a blade on the magic bullet and the thing holding the blades on started to oxidize and I had to clean it and it was not easy. The consistency of the juice is great, it's like drinking Naked but better (the drink company "Naked", not me drinking in the nude). I juiced this morning with kale, strawberries, pineapple, and a quarter cup of almonds and after it was done, I couldn't feel any almond grit. I'm going to Hi-Health today to get Flax Seeds and Wheatgrass, but I've watched YouTube reviews and they say this does a really good job with the Flax Seeds - almost on par with a Vitamix. Don't let me tell you all about it, check out the reviews on YouTube! And if you're thinking about getting a Ninja, don't .. I owned one of those too, and while it's great at slicing and dicing, it is far from a juicer. And it's messy, and PITA to clean. And my coworker got one of the higher powered expensive ones and now it doesn't turn on and it's only been three weeks. So get a Nutri bullet!! UPDATE 4/3/2013 - I got the whole Flax Seeds as I had stated previously, and I added a tablespoon and a half to the big cup and WOW!! They practically dissolve in the Nutribullet!! That is REALLY impressive! I might get another one to keep at the office! WOOOO!!!!
