Nutribullet on Sale. Worth it?

It's 35% off at Walmart. Still a bit pricey at 65. Anyone own one? Is it worth the investment?

    I like mine - I don't use it every day but I use it often enough that's it's paid for itself
  • I've gone through two magic bullets and loved them both. I hear that the nutri bullet has a better moror and lasts longer.

    Me too. I bought my original Magic Bullet at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Their return policy is great. Every time the motor blows, they simply change it for me. I use mine every day.

    I found that regular mouth sized mason jars will fit on a regular blender.

    A pint is a perfect size for a smoothie or a shake.

    Love mine! Easy to use and clean. Much better for smoothies in my opinion than a regular blender. I also use it to grind oats for oat flour .

    I am trying to picture how this works. Do you put the stuff you want to blend in the mason jar, invert the regular blender container over the mason jar, turn both the jar and blender container over, so that the blender container is right side up and the mason jar is upside down, holding them tightly together, put the whole thing on the blender base, still holding the mason jar in place, turn the blender on while holding the jar in place, and when you're done, you take the jar and blender container off the base, and invert it again?? And this works without making a mess? Or am I missing something about how you would do this? Does the mason jar fit so snugly that leaking isn't an issue? Could you just blend it the regular way and then pour it into the mason jar or any other container? What's the advantage of the mason jar?

    I paid $100 for my Nutribullet last year, and i use it quite often. It's great!
  • Over here in the UK it is £100 so that is about right as most prices are about £1 to US$1. Use mine every day and its great for green drinks. Unlike juicers you get everything, including the fibre (yes that is how we spell 'fibre' (fiber) over here!). Also made beetroot (beet) juice with lemon juice which is great. Grapefruit and pineapple is refreshing. The nutribullet is definitely worth buying.

    I bought mine sometime last year, and I love it, was well worth the $99 dollars to me.

    However, keep in mind there are two versions of the original nutribullet, BOTH have the exact same box. One comes with reinforced blades, motor, and leak guards on the lids and whatnot. The older version does not. However, the older version has been out of production for a long while now so I don't think your chances of accidentally coming across one are good.

    I just sorta looked in the box, at one of the blades before I purchased mine.

    Rackboyz fitness has a video showing the differences.

    They also have a new pro version out with an even better motor apparently that is $150 but it seems completely unnecessary to me considering my nutribullet makes green smoothies really smooth already.
