nutribullet Ultra Personal Blender NB50500, 32 oz, Gray

I absolutely love my Nutribullet Ultra! It’s powerful, compact, and blends everything to a perfect, smooth consistency in seconds. Great for busy mornings or post-workout shakes. The only downfall but not a game changer is the motor could be quieter. Easy clean up.

I’ve been using this blender at least two times a day since February 2024. It is still strong and dependable. It is small enough you can take the unit setup with you and blend at location. It is a bit loud but it does the job.Sometimes it has a bit of the burn smell in the motor area for no particular reason. Just make sure not overfilling the content above the recommended level and use sufficient liquid to blend for the proper texture.. If the smoothie is too thick, it won’t spin / blender well. Don’t use hot content, cool the content down first.Very important: Don’t over tighten the lid or you will have a hard time removing it :(It is a daily workhorse blender, 5 stars :-)As far as the additional bottle lids, they don’t work well and will spill . I just use quart mason jars for that task.

The Nutribullet motor is strong enough to make smoothies that are smooth without chunks of ice or frozen fruit. It even has a timed button to automatically make smoothies without having to stand at the blender. The suction cups on the base keep it in place while blending. The seal is tight and it has never leaked. It is easy to clean by putting a little soapy water in the blender jar and pulsing a few times.

Great for green smoothies! I have a NutriNinja as well, but this works a lot better for the smoothies where I put in lots of stem-y "greenery" (like parsley, cilantro). I end up chewing way too much of it with the Ninja, but not with the NutriBullet. And it takes up so little counter space that I don't mind leaving it out.

Great blender. Purees any type of fruit and greens etc I've used in to a very creamy liquefied consistency. Sorry have not tried ice yet so no opinion for that. Lid seals tight so no leakage. I gave it 4 stars because to me it is really loud. I turn it on and step away till it's finished blending. It has an auto turn off cycle after "approximately" 30 seconds. Great unit just very loud.

Great little blender. Easy to clean up after use. Fast blend process. 1200 wt. Can use for travel. Finding the button to turn on, confusing at first. Must be “seated” correctly for buttons to light up. No automatic turn off. Is pretty noisy.

Summary: Unit randomly stopped working at 6months. Plastic pieces on the drinking cup lid fell off into my smoothie, I swallowed one wondering why my drink was sharp, then chewed on one the following day (the day the unit who l wouldn't turn on). Im a healthy 36yr old woman, if case my smoothie drinking ability is questioned - not senile, not 5 years old.Nutribullet now drags me through a 'just give up process' when I requested a refund. Well guess what, I'm not giving up, no, I'm getting my refund.Update: After emailing answers twice, calling, I've now been requested to respond to the following. I can't help but wonder if this is a complaints box strategy designed to put people off seeking refunds or replacements for broken units? I've already sent images and answered questions over email and the phone.They can't issue a refund either, because I bought it via Amazon 🙄... suppose I'll just post this here instead.Email I was sent today:Thank you for your recent call. We’re so sorry you’ve encountered an issue with your NutriBullet and apologize for the inconvenience but we are here to help.

Complete explanation of particles and any photographs that you may have depicting the incident.Previous review:Stopped working randomly at 6 months - worked yesterday, today it won't turn on. Hopefully they replace it or refund it. I'd prefer a refund and to downsize because of the reasons below...Love it for anything 20 ounces and up. There are no smaller cup capacities that fit this unit. Nutribullet makes a nice small 18oz cup for every model...but this one. Buy the model down, still 1200w, but more versatile. Can't make small quantities in it - just gets pushed up the sides into the cavity. Not able to blend icecream thickness stuff, just blends a cavity around the blade (eg smoothie bowl is a no)

Work very well! Does a great job liquifying fruits and veggies. Though I do cut fibrous veggies, like celery, into small chunks. I don't like chewing my smoothies and this machine does a great job making smoothies without any chunks. :)
