Guest guest Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi Lena--that sounds great! I just googled it, and to order it from the maker costs $120 plush S/H, so it sounds like you got a good price. There's a little demonstration video on the website, also. We have a Vitamix, which is huge. It would be nice to have something so small that can do the same things. Khaya > > Hi Everyone, > Remember when I inquired here about the Nutribullet?

Just made a spinach-pear smoothie which was delicious, creamy texture.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi Khaya,It feels pretty substantial, although I'm sure a Vitamix would outlast it. Still, It's a perfect size and we'd never take our Champion or Vitamix-equivalent on the road; too big.Be well,Léna Hi Lena--that sounds great!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hi Marie,It is more powerful than my blender (my Cuisinart was 500 watts, NutriBullet is 600.) It's not a Vitamix: smaller and about 1/4 of the cost, but so far, so good. Google it and you'll find some youtube videos about it, too. Great reviews, except for a couple where people expected it to separate food from skins like a Breville. This simply liquifies everything, so you get the good of the skins, but that means, of course, that you should only use organically grown fruit and veg.Be well,Léna Hi Lena, Is this a blender ?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi Lena, NutriBullet has a good review on Amazon... I always check there first before buying anything.. End users will always tell the real truth about a product... http://www.amazon.com/Nutri-Bullet-NBR-12-12-Piece-Hi-Speed/dp/B007TIE0GQ/ref=sr\ _1_1?ie=UTF8 & qid=1340238716 & sr=8-1 & keywords=nutribullet I had a MagicBullet, it was okay, but lasted a bit over 1 year... I think it was underpowered at 250 watts... The NutriBullet at 600 watts should last longer.. Enjoy! Jim > > Hi Everyone, > Remember when I inquired here about the Nutribullet?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi Jim,The NutriBullet will fit in our Airstream, don't you think? Scale is everything on the road. Yeah, the reviews were good, but most were from recent purchasers, so time will tell. It seems very powerful and it will definitely make nutritional compliance easier as far as raw veggies go; especially on the road, where nutrition can get lax and even reckless.Boy! It sounds like you've been jumping through hoops with your computer scene!Still, you've managed to be a great moderator even in challenging times. On the road, when Bruce moved out of his old Mac and into his new he had to stop because there were NO stores that carried firewires (we had two at home, of course). That sort of messed with our blog. Then, like you, he discovered things the new Mac wouldn't accept from the old Mac, and some of the troubles were the more recent Microsoft products, where improvements aren't always improvements.Once he got out of his old Mac, I could move into it and out of my even older Mac, just like a pair of overalls, moving down the family of kids! The changes have been a real learning curve.("Orangutans are skeptical of changes in their cages...")I'll keep you posted on the life and accomplishments of NutriBullet. Have had 4 different recipes so far and they're all wonderful and SO easy.Be well,Léna Hi Lena, NutriBullet has a good review on Amazon... I always check there first before buying anything..
