I now eat vegetables on a daily basis thanks to NutriBullet.. And the taste is so good, due to the break down of the vegetables.

Purchased the base model NutriBullet last summer after reading many reviews of the base model and the higher powered versions. Best decision in my opinion, this model has blended absolutely everything I've subjected it to including ice, nuts, seeds, hard spices, kale e.t.c. There are two blades in the pack, the 'double blade' I use for smoothies and general blending (I've blended soups in batches many times and it works a treat, just remember to let the soup cool or go cold before blending as hot soup will create a vacuum and potentially increase pressure when lid released - as would any blender) and the 'single blade' for nuts and spices etc. In line with this, I use the big container for smoothies and the smaller for the nuts. There is another cup-with-handle style container but have not used this yet. Other blenders include a load of attachments and containers / cups, but I realised before purchase I would never use them and have not missed them at all, the ones provided are enough and anyway, I like to drink my smoothies out of glasses not plastic!
The machine itself is fairly quiet although using it in my small kitchen may make it louder than it really is due to the confined space. It's not been a problem as it's only in use for seconds at a time, no prolonged in-use periods.
The machine itself is very sturdy and does not move at when when in use. I have used other, cheaper blenders before and they often needed holding down so this aspect of the NutriBullet is brilliant. It's also really easy to keep clean, simply wipe and it's done. Be careful not to overfill the containers as this can lead to leakage which will require a clean of the machine. On that point, it may seem when you fill the big container to the fill line, that the content will not be sufficient, but I use it daily to make two smoothies which is more than enough for two people. Would also be very easy to simply make in batches if more than two servings are needed.
The only thing to be aware of is the rubber seal on each bladed unit. They are not permanently fixed (which actually makes it easier to remove and clean, better than the fixed versions on cheaper models that collect food remains and are unhygienic) and sometimes when you take the bladed unit off post blend they can fall out and make a slight mess, but once you get use to using it, you can adjust the way you take the lid off.
One tip I would add is the cleaning. I always rinse the blade units and the containers out immediately after use to ensure the residual food can be removed easily (I actually use a soft rubber spatula to get every last drop out). Often this is all you need to do if you wash immediately. Failing that, let them soak in warm soapy water for a short period if food is stuck on. Do not go at them with harsh cleaning products or heavy scratching utensils as there is no need. This ease of cleaning has been a particularly nice surprise as I make the food then simply rinse under hot tap and I'm done.
You can buy extra blade units and rubber seals, but I've used mine at least once a day for over 6 months and the blades are as sharp as ever and the rubber seals like new. It looks very easy to get replacement parts if needed and the basic size has stayed the same so this also means as the unit gets older I will not need to replace the whole thing, just the blade unit and seal (if I need!)
In conclusion, it took me ages to decide on this make and model but I couldn't be happier. Follow the manufacturers instructions, do not over-fill, clean immediately after use and don't get drawn in by other products offerings of this attachment and that attachment, purchase what you will actually use!

Even though I would go over the fill lime, it the vibration of the power base would always loosen the cap, and make a leaky mess. And it took forever to blend frozen fruit to make smoothies.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
