NutriBullet 1000 Watt PRIME Edition, 12-Piece High-Speed Blender/Mixer System, Includes Stainless Steel Insulated Cup, and Recipe Book

I would have given the Nutribullet five stars until the other day. I used it 5 days a week on average and it was fantastic. However, the unit has been making a lot of noise when blending the ingredients for the last month or so (I bought it in December 2017). Surprisingly, I discovered that the base was leaking oil from the blades' location. I initially assumed it was just coming out of the bottom, but later discovered the oil was also leaking into the cup, tainting my smoothies! I contacted customer service to have the piece replaced because I had only had the product for a few months. Unfortunately, I was informed that the warranty would not be honored because my purchase came from a "third-party vendor. " This was purchased from Amazon. com. What is the best way to determine if the location where the order is being fulfilled is full? Is filled a licensed vendor? Maybe I should have realized it, but I didn't. So, unless I choose to pay for replacement blades and S, I'm without a Nutribullet. br>After this experience, I will never buy another Nutribullet product.

The best one so far is PRIME! This is the third time I've used a NutriBullet. I've owned two of the 900w models and found them to be quite satisfactory. I mostly use them for post-workout shakes containing protein powder, frozen berries (with a lot of seeds), and whatever vegetables I have on hand. They do an excellent job of pulverizing everything. My main issue with the 900w models was the noise; I had to warn my family when I was about to shake so they didn't get scared. I bought my last 900w one about 3 years ago, so it's possible things have improved since then, but I decided to go with the NutriBullet PRIME this time because it's much quieter! The older ones spin up to full speed almost instantly, whereas this one takes a couple of seconds to reach full speed. It appears to be far less violent and well-controlled. Another thing about the older versions is that they always say not to leave it on for more than a minute, so I'd have to time it or guess. This one shuts down on its own. If you're going to buy one, I strongly advise you to get the PRIME version. The extra money is well worth it. This set also includes three large cups. The smaller cups were completely useless to me, so even without the new features, this is the best value solely for the cups.

I bought the unit on September 18 to use for lunch at work. I don't have to worry about others using the blade and leaving a dirty container like I would with a blender because the blade is attached to the cup. It's crucial to a) keep enough liquid in the unit, b) avoid certain supplements, and c) stick to the maximum line. d) Be careful not to overwork yourself. As a point of reference, I have a Waring Xtreme blender at home, so I am used to just dumping everything in and blending away. With this unit, you won't be able to do so. The first time I used it at work, liquid was forced out of the unit, causing a mess. It was made up of three kale leaves, one peach cube, 1/4 cup crushed ice, and enough water to fill it to the brim. 1 scoop Isopure protein powder, 1 tablespoon flax seeds, and 1 teaspoon psyllium powder A second attempt with apple and kale, as well as a protein/fiber blend, yielded the same results. The water, I believe, causes the protein and fiber to expand, resulting in the overflow. As a result, I simply divided the blend and worked on the vegetables separately. Fruit in one blend, supplements in another, and combining them. It's not a big deal because the unit comes with three containers. The hot electrical smell of the motor has been mentioned by other reviewers. I've had the same problem and believe it's due to the unit being under- or over-loaded with liquid. I no longer get the odor when I split the blends (with plenty of liquid). Overall, if you're careful about how you load the unit, it should work fine.

When I first opened the box, I realized the unit had already been used. The cord was not tied up and the motor base was not wrapped in plastic. The outside and inside of the motor base had food stuck to them in various places. The rubber grip was already attached to the plastic cup. The rubber grip on the stainless cup was missing, but its outline was clearly marked on the cup with dirt and grime, and when I removed the blade base from the stainless cup, I noticed the gasket was missing, which probably explains why there had been so many leak complaints, and the inside of the stainless cup was still wet from being washed. The unit has been returned to me.

About one out of every four times the canisters are used, they leak while blending, causing a huge mess and possibly damaging the motor. br>In addition, despite following the instructions for loading the canisters for optimal performance, the ingredients were not fully blended after the first cycle. After the first cycle, you should not have to repeat the cycle or open the canister to stir the ingredients by hand. Both of those things have been required of me on numerous occasions. It has a hard time blending powders like protein powder, for example. It simply whirls it to the canister's sides, where it becomes stuck. br>I do not recommend this product and am extremely dissatisfied with it. I expected it to work and work well because of the well-known name and all the advertising, but it did not.
