Ooh, @KevinPotts
Just thought of a use for your Bullet which will guarantee that it never languishes - use it to make garden fertiliser.
You just throw in all your veg and fruit peelings, with water, blitz them to a runny soup, and tip around your plants. Works like a charm. Creates a kind of thin mulch AND breaks down 10x faster than a compost heap.
Oh folks my wife says "you're a marketers wet dream" ....gone and bought a Nutribullet pro......sucker....I know, I know

I don't think you'll be disapointed - as others have said, they are great as long as you use them. I have the regular 600w version and its great, I use the milling blade to make rice flour, grind coffee and make nut butters. It's the small footprint that appeals to me. Since I bought mine there are now loads of "nutri" marketed machines on the market, they all do the same thing basically but I've never regretted buying the Nutribullet. Let us know how you get on!
A word of warning to the wise and the foolish (and Nutri Bullet owners). We did as B. suggests here, but left it standing on the counter for a while by mistake. The innards fermented and the plexiglass top expanded. This stopped anyone unscrewing it from the base. Totally stuck it wer.Ooh, @KevinPotts

It does look pretty and not as bulky as I'd assumed -and a bit like an old fashioned oil lamp!

Trouble is I don't actually need one! I don't do smoothies, and have a fairly recent hand held blender for soups, and a frequently used and reliable little prehistoric coffee grinder for grinding nuts. (And test strips, Libre sensors, 2 dogs, a crafting addiction, and a currently ongoing need to replace all my fat lady clothes all tend to break the bank...)

Oldvatr ....thanks and noted. It also came with a three years warranty as a few review I read suggested frequent use bonded the blades within the first year.

I had a similar experience with pineapple left in the beaker too long in the fridge.... it decided to blow as I opened it... the cleanup took ages!A word of warning to the wise and the foolish (and Nutri Bullet owners).

I gave up tryng, but remembered that heat makes things expand. Shoved it upside down in the sink in hot water. Did not have long to wait. A couple of seconds later the b****dy thing exploded. base hit the ceiling, fermented innards hit me and the wall, and the plexiglass thingy remained unbroken in the sink. It had no damage at all, and had simply unscrewed itself in the excitement.
I think a cheaper lookalike would have not survived, but I do not wish to repeat the experiment.
So, make sure you clean it out after use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm on my third one in 2 years. Mine keep breaking, luckily it was in warranty so didn't have to pay to replace it and I do use it at least once a day. If it wasn't in warranty now I wouldn't pay to replace it as it breaks so regularly!
