This NutriBullet blender is AMAZING! -It’s 1200 watts and literally takes less than 10 SECONDS to blend a Frappuccino. -It handles chunks (not little pieces!) of ice like a Boss. It only takes about 15-20 seconds to fully blend a smoothie (I use frozen pineapple, frozen cherries, frozen banana chunks) with zero chunks! Smooth as silk. It came with the base, which I wasn’t sure I would like, but I love it! You can start blending by seating the jar onto the base, twisting it and let it go. BUT since it only takes a few seconds it’s easy to stop by the push of a button which lights up. If you wanna pulse, just press the button. Super easy! The reason I did not originally opt for NutriBullet was because I can’t afford the price. Full price is $129+ tax Currently on sale for $99+ tax I snagged it on a Prime Day and got it for $79 plus tax, which fit my budget! It was like the universe said “hey, you’ve been thru hell trying to find a good quality blender. Here it is. You’re welcome.” Y’all. In the last couple of months I’ve returned 3 blenders (two different brands) to Amazon: 1000w blender broke, got replaced and then the replacement stopped working too. Then tried a 900w, different style of blender, that was super loud, took forever to blend, left chunks, was a challenge to figure out how its operate, and almost impossible to remove the jug to clean it. So I was back to the drawing board trying to find a good blender to make Frappuccinos and Smoothies (daily). My dad had a NutriBullet years ago so I remembered how good it was. This version is wayyyyy better. So if you’ve been through the mill trying out blenders for $39 or $59 bucks, just bite the bullet and get this one when it’s on sale or has a promotion. It’s completely worth it. Read more
We've had a well-used Nutribullet for many years that I finally passed on to my son. It has been a workhorse that I have pushed the limits on with regards to blending ice and frozen fruit. It's longevity and performance were why I easily chose Nutribullet again, but this time the 1200W version. Oh my gosh, it effortlessly made the smoothest smoothie I have ever had! The extractor blades and operating power are a definite upgrade from the older model. Just make sure to screw the lid on tight before blending, and cleaning is a easy as ever. I do wish at least one of the tumblers had a handle for more-secure one-handed sipping. I haven't tried the pulse-mode yet, but since I don't have a food processor I am hoping it can be used as a mini-chopper for salsa. For the price, and am super-pleased with the performance! I am hoping for the same long appliance-life as the previous model. Read more
I had owned and used the predecessor to this NutriBullet, the 900 watt version, for ten years, and was very satisfied with its performance over that ten year period. However, a leak from an off-brand Nutribullet cup, damaged the processor, resulting in the locking mechanism no longer working. At that point, I decided to replace the ten year old Nutribullet with a new one. This new Nutribullet has many, many improvements that are terrific. Firstly, I ordered the 1200 watt version and the difference in power is ver clear. Secondly, this newer version has a Pulse feature that also results in a delay i the start when the cup is locked down, a seemingly unnecessary factor, except that is great, too. Additionally, the blades are now turned up at a steeper angle which delivers a much faster chopping and grinding action as far as I can tell. Lastly, the addition of suction cups on the base greatly stabilize the Nutribullet on a smooth surface, such as a countertop, assuring no spillage.during the operation. Overall, this new version is head and shoulders above the previous designs, which to me indicates an earnest tp improve a product and not just sit back and cheapen a new version with less costly parts. I HIGHLY recommend the new, 1200 watt Nutribullet and hope to get another ten years out of this one! Read more
I previously had the original nutribullet 600 watt. It was a good little machine but it had an unfortunate accident (my fault not the machine). Decided to upgrade to this higher powered nutribullet. The base is surprisingly heavy and feels like good quality. Has a small footprint and not taking up any more space on counter than the original. It is much more powerful and loud than the original. Works the same as original , pretty intuitive and no leaking (unlike the HB one that I tried before going back to the nutribullet brand). Cleans easily; I put soapy water in and turn on, followed by light handwash. It is listed as dishwasher safe, but I find that in general handwash extends life of small appliance parts. Hoping that it continues to be reliable like its predecessor. Will update if that is not the case. Read more

I've been using this for about a month now, so I can't yet comment on durability and longevity. Compared to some of the other small blenders, this one isn't especially low in price. However, it's not as high as some others, and I think it's worth it. I've been using the cheaper versions of these for about 7 or 8 years, and the motor on my last one blew out within about a year or so. I paid about $45 for it, and I actually did expect it to last at least a few years, not barely 12 months. But the 1200 Watt motor on this one is really powerful. And it seems sturdier, too. If you at least rinse off the blades immediately after use, it's easy to clean, too (if you don't, it's tough to get the dried and caked-on food out of the blade housing; you really don't want this if you've been blending savory soups and marinades). I use it every day for morning smoothies, and it's great for making soups and marinades, too. It's the only plug-in appliance that stays on my kitchen counter (it doesn't look too bad, either).
