The Nutribullet is okay for its size. I have always used my amazing Vitamix which is super duper powerful. The Nutribullet is by no means to be compared to the Vitamix. No comparison in power! Also Vitamix customer service, if ever needed (rare) is amazing. Nutribullet reviews on customer service are many bad ones.

Where the Nutribullet gets an applause from me is the ease to use with little counter space. I keep it on the counter and use it for my smoothies that are quick and simple. I store my Vitamix below in the cupboard as I like a clean counter. I pull it out for larger blending or more power if needed for what I am making. Such as almond milk etc.

One could travel with the Nutribullet like some state but BEWARE it is not a light item and with weighing out luggage these days to travel by plane, be careful. You will could be forking over travel costs that could literally buy you another Nutribullet. Not worth traveling with in my opinion unless on a big trip...

More versatile than I thought--works well
The Nutribullet is billed as being able to liquify vegetables and fruits to make nutrient-packed smoothies. It certainly does that. I was able to liquify kale, carrots, apples, spinach, berries and make very smooth drinks that are easy to have for breakfast or a snack.

However, I was surprised that this unit also makes a perfectly good coffee grinder. If you use the flat blade rather than the emulsifying blade, it grinds a cup or so of beans in nothing flat. I was wondering if this could replace a Magic Bullet (which is more of a blender rather than a liquifier) and it would seem that with the flat blade, you still can do bread crumbs, coffee beans and nuts, which is mainly what I use a blender to do. The screw on lid lets me store a few days of ground coffee--a nice feature.

As to liquifying, yes, this works well. One caution; the unit's motor is relatively small, so if you are running it for long stretches or make huge amounts of smoothies, you may find that it...
