I researched numerous reviews on blenders; some quite expensive and others uber cheap. After a near exhaustive search I settled in on the nutribullet, which seemed to have the best blend of features, quality (as rated by reviewers), and price. If you go through the product reviews on Amazon you will see people love the product, but there is consistent criticism about two things: 1. There is a tendency of liquid to leak from the smoothie cups while blending 2. After a period of use, the extractor (which attaches to the blender base and has the blades) can begin to ooze some of the lubricants I spoke to a few people who own the less expensive nutribullet product (those with the 600 and 900 watt units). They have confirmed the first of these two complaints (tendency of liquid to leak from the smoothie cups while blending) and also indicated that the 600 watt units are not really powerful enough. That said, let me give you the much better news regarding the 1200 watt unit that comes with 64 Oz pitcher and two 24 Oz smoothie cups. I have not experienced the issue of liquid leaking while blending. Unlike the 600 and 900 watt units, all the seals on the various containers that come with the 1200 watt unit are tight. The product in my experience seems to be well made and well designed. I guess because the motor (on the 1200 watt unit) is powerful, it easily whips up smoothies with ice in a matter of seconds. Also, today I made kale soup in the 64 Oz pitcher which it easily turned into a silky smooth puree. Older blenders I have used in the past would blend everything in the bottom of the pitcher, but not any content towards the top. That was frustrating, as it would be necessary to intermittently stop, push undermixed food content down towards the blades and resume. Thankfully, this is not the case here with the nutribullet. It easily blends everything with the large pitcher (and of course with the smoothie cups). Another plus is that it is extremely easy to clean. I want to cycle back to second identified complaint that people have remarked about the extractor component. People have reported that this can be an issue after roughly a year's usage. I have not had the nutribullet long enough to encounter this problem (I purchased the nutribullet earlier this summer). What I can say is that the company - nutribullet, sells the extractor component separately to the tune of around $20. So, if this component wears out it is easily replaced without much expense. A have a few more thoughts I want to add: 1. Experience will vary on how people use the product. The accompanying documentation says when making smoothies never fill the cup above the Max line and don't exceed 25% of the volume with ice. When blending hot liquids like soup, only use the large pitcher with the small opening at the top. Respecting things like that will likely make for a better user experience in the long run. 2. There is a very small price difference between the nutribullet Full-Size Blender Combo 1200W and the 900W Pro (was something like $16 when I purchased the 1200W unit). Actually I was lucky as Amazon had it on sale for $99. [Don't shortchange yourself with the less powerful 600 and 900 watt units - get the better product; I think it is well worth buying. ]

Great for smoothies. Large pitcher easily holds a good amount of greens. My previous blender left kale in small pieces but this blender pulverized them to a pleasing smooth consistency. Limited blending button choices but I think it has what's necessary. Suction cup feet are nice. The blade on the smaller cup works well too for smaller portions. At first I thought I wasn't going to like the fixed attached blade on the pitcher but it's fine and easy to clean. The removable blade on the cup allows for blended food to be easily removed with a spatula and is easy to clean. Good option for those not able to spend the hundreds of dollars on a vitamix. Have only been using it a week so can't speak to longevity yet.

I wanted a blender for smoothies. This works fantastically and found it better than other brands I've tried. I read reviews and recommendations on this and it was recommended. Powerful with it different settings. Crushes ice. It appears durability and is visually appealing. It is easy to use and assemble. I like the extras that come with it and it's versatility for uses. The price was worth it,.compared to higher styles. I thought this size was just right for a blender.

This immediately became my favorite blender! The motor is VERY powerful and blends the ingredients smoothly. I PACKED the 32oz tight and it still blended great. The EXTRACT button is perfect! Also, the 24oz is more like 30oz, but I have no complaints there!

Bought to replace similar style Ninja. This is quieter, less bulky & I generally like it. However it comes with 32 oz cups which are much too big for 1 smoothie. Also no 16 or 12oz cups available for this unit. Means use 2 cups for 1 serving: 1 to make & 1 to drink from because a straw will not fit in the cup with the lid on. The other peculiar thing is 2 blueberries from a handful never get blended & become stuck in the straw. Otherwise I like the unit.

Excelente produto. Faço smoothies e vitaminas deliciosas com textura cremosa, suave e aveludada. A vedação é boa e a potência de 1200 faz diferença com relação a outros modelos

La mejor licuadora que me ha tocado usar. No solo lo básico de licuados, salsas o smoothies, ya hice crema de almendras y cacahuates sin problemas. Súper útil que venga con un segundo set de aspas para los vasos los cuales son de buena calidad y capacidad. Lo único que me hubiera gustado es que se pudiera retirar el aspa del vaso para limpieza profunda, afortunadamente no es impedimento para mantenerlo bien limpia.

Realmente funciona como un extractor, los sabores se resaltan mucho más que el nutribullet de 600W. Recomiendo este modelo al 100%

Me gusta mucho deja muy bien las malteadas y los jugos verdes hasta ahora es lo único para lo que la e usado así que en eso está excelente

Mejoraron mucho en su presentación y rendimiento.
