nutribullet Ultra Personal Blender NB50500SS, 32 oz, Stainless Steel

I love this! I wanted a blender that had individual cups to make daily protein shakes but wasn’t too big and bulky. This fit the bill perfectly and has a lot of power; it easily handles frozen fruit plus a few ice cubes. It pulverizes everything I put in it, and you can easily order extra blending cups on Amazon. It’s durable and doesn’t leak. High quality item that I highly recommend! If you push the top button it runs for 30 seconds and then stops automatically. I wait a few seconds for any pieces left to settle to the bottom, then hit the bottom button for a few seconds and it comes out perfectly every time.

The Nutribullet motor is strong enough to make smoothies that are smooth without chunks of ice or frozen fruit. It even has a timed button to automatically make smoothies without having to stand at the blender. The suction cups on the base keep it in place while blending. The seal is tight and it has never leaked. It is easy to clean by putting a little soapy water in the blender jar and pulsing a few times.

I like this blender enough that I am giving it 5 stars, even though it is the loudest kitchen machine ever. It makes me cringe for my dogs when I press the button. But it does what it is supposed to, and I would buy it again

I bought this almost a year ago and have been using it several times a week. works GREAT! The one issue I had was i tightened the lid then put it on the base and it tightened it even more. Had a hard time getting the blade part off. Just be careful how tight the lid is.

Great blender. Purees any type of fruit and greens etc I've used in to a very creamy liquefied consistency. Sorry have not tried ice yet so no opinion for that. Lid seals tight so no leakage. I gave it 4 stars because to me it is really loud. I turn it on and step away till it's finished blending. It has an auto turn off cycle after "approximately" 30 seconds. Great unit just very loud.

Great for green smoothies! I have a NutriNinja as well, but this works a lot better for the smoothies where I put in lots of stem-y "greenery" (like parsley, cilantro). I end up chewing way too much of it with the Ninja, but not with the NutriBullet. And it takes up so little counter space that I don't mind leaving it out.

Summary: Unit randomly stopped working at 6months. Plastic pieces on the drinking cup lid fell off into my smoothie, I swallowed one wondering why my drink was sharp, then chewed on one the following day (the day the unit who l wouldn't turn on). Im a healthy 36yr old woman, if case my smoothie drinking ability is questioned - not senile, not 5 years old.Nutribullet now drags me through a 'just give up process' when I requested a refund. Well guess what, I'm not giving up, no, I'm getting my refund.Update: After emailing answers twice, calling, I've now been requested to respond to the following. I can't help but wonder if this is a complaints box strategy designed to put people off seeking refunds or replacements for broken units? I've already sent images and answered questions over email and the phone.They can't issue a refund either, because I bought it via Amazon 🙄... suppose I'll just post this here instead.Email I was sent today:Thank you for your recent call.

Hopefully they replace it or refund it. I'd prefer a refund and to downsize because of the reasons below...Love it for anything 20 ounces and up. There are no smaller cup capacities that fit this unit. Nutribullet makes a nice small 18oz cup for every model...but this one. Buy the model down, still 1200w, but more versatile. Can't make small quantities in it - just gets pushed up the sides into the cavity. Not able to blend icecream thickness stuff, just blends a cavity around the blade (eg smoothie bowl is a no)

I love this product and use it every day. The motor is strong and it holds a large amount for a giant smoothie. I like the fact that there are 2 extra blending cups so I can make smoothies for friends at the same time.
