nutribullet Full-Size Blender Combo 1200W – NBF50500 - Dark Gray

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 blending2. After a period of use, the extractor (which attaches to the blender base and has the blades) can begin to ooze some of the lubricantsI 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. ]

Still using it since I purchased it. No complaints here. Love the extraction button. If you rinse right after use, it's easier to clean. It's definitely worth the price. Very sturdy. Yes it's a little loud but who cares. Health is wealth

Super powerful motor on this blender, making it work far better than any I've owned. The little suction cups on the bottom are there for a reason, this thing wants to spin in a circle on the counter when it goes from zero to max rotation in short order. It's not too loud, considering how fast it cranks. I purchased the combo, which includes a 24 oz. and 32 oz. (with handle) 'cup' along with the blender pitcher. I find that I use those two smaller ones much more frequently than the pitcher. They each come with a lid, which is great for smoothies from the blender to the fridge and then I grab them and go in the morning. Very handy. This thing is easy to clean too, especially the "easy-twist" extractor blade cap used on the cups.If you don't like (for some reason) plastic blender pitchers, this may not be for you. The pitcher and cups are plastic, not glass. I've had no problems with the plastic so far but haven't had it very long. I had my previous glass pitcher blender for years and never had an issue with the glass. We'll see how long this plastic lasts. I suspect not as long. :)This model has an 'extract' button, which uses a pre-programmed sequence of starts and stops, slow and fast speeds, for about 60 seconds and it's the only function I need. It breaks down ice, frozen whole strawberries, frozen blueberries, and fresh fruits and vegetables (like hard carrots) like they weren't even there. No issues at all and the result is a very fine, smooth consistency. I really like everything about it!

The NutriBullet Full-Size Blender Combo 1200W is a game-changer in my kitchen. It’s powerful enough to handle everything from frozen fruit to tough veggies, and I love the option to switch between the large pitcher and personal cups. It’s super easy to use and even easier to clean. Whether I’m making a smoothie or soup, it gets the job done fast and smooth every time. Plus, the sleek dark gray design looks great on my counter.

The media could not be loaded. I have had a Nutribullet 600 and I liked it, but had to replace parts multiple times because the clear tips from the cups that snapped into the machine broke off multiple times and then the way they connected to the machine were difficult.This Nutribullet is heavy duty!! It is so much easier to use and the cup snaps on the top so easily. As pictured, you can see the size next to my Keurig and video of how it looks and sounds during operation. The base also has suctions so it doesn't slide all over the counter. I usually put partially frozen fruit in it and it works great! It is worth every penny!

Very good blender and mixer. A little bulky. Need a lot of space to storage in the cabinets . If you leave it on the counter top it will use lot of space. But works with good power and blend almost everything

Love this. It is light weight, easy to get out and put it away. Clean up easily. I love a smoothie. I use frozen fruit and juice, milk or water. The small container is enough for 2 nice sized smoothies.

Favorite blender. It is a little loud but actually does blend and puree everything as oppose to the ninja I have. It is a but awkward to sit on the motor part but other than that I like it.
