5 David A  · Blends beautifully – I'm very happy with the way mine blends, however there is a slight leakage problem
4 Abi  · Perfect – Quite happy with this product - the drinks blended are so smooth. Easy to use and clean
5 Todd  · Blends like a pro – Purchased this on sale after my Kmart one died. This is a great blender and ice and frozen bananas are liquid in a few seconds
3 ASt  · Noisy but gets job done – Great if you use a reasonable amount of liquid Not good for dips/nut butters - just burns the motor too much
4 Karamuta  · Love this thing! – I have a Thermomix and it just can't get drinks smooth like this can. Great suction to bench. So easy to use and clean.

This is a great blender that performs really well. My only minor issue is that it sometimes struggles to fully pulverize frozen fruit if the cup is filled to capacity, but otherwise, I’m very happy with it. One thing to note is that while it comes with three blending cups, it only includes one lid, which is a bit limiting.

Purchased the “McLaren” NutriBullet 2 weeks ago from JB HiFi Glendale NSW and would not recommend. It was on special and the price has dropped again and now I know why they are trying to clear them off their shelves. After 20 seconds the unit stops blending and you have to wait 5 minutes before resuming the blending. It’s as though the motor… Read more

overheats and needs to cool down? No idea. I have owned several 900 and 1000 series NutriBullets over the years so am very familiar with how they work and have never had this issue where the blending stops after 20 seconds and then needing to let the unit "cool down". This one badged as a “McLaren” is a joke and clearly has stalled at the starting line so don't waste your money.

Terrible yucky brown stuff and metal fragments in drinks – It worked OK for about 8 weeks and then started leaking horrible brown yucky stuff into drinks. I kept trying to clean around the blade and then it started smoking and metal fragments ended up in my drinks. The photo shows the metal pieces that I pulled away from under the blades. I'd never use Nutribullet again - too risky and dangerous.  Show details

Powerful! – I love this I could make smoothies for breakfast and Panko from bread crusts, crushed sesame. So powerful but it’s bit noisy when I make breakfast smoothie in the morning. Show details

Not worth the money – This product is very overrated and priced. I used it mainly for smoothies as didn't find it suitable for much else. 60 seconds run time is too long. Recently it died, while mixing a smoothie black bits starting flying out of the vent encasing the motor, smelling of burnt plastic. Better off spending $50 - $100 at Big W or KMart or even Harvey Norman on an old fashioned glass blender Show details

Sooo good, can't live without it – The NutriBullet Pro is awesome, for such a little unit it does great things, after having surgery I was on a liquid diet for 3 months and used it for everything from blending soups, smoothies and main meals. It crushes ice with ease and it comes with extra smoothie containers so you can prep for the day. Highly recommend it. Show details

The BEST blender on the market – Most people write negative reviews but I love my NutriBullet so much I have to leave a positive review. It’s powerful enough to handle crushing ice etc. It’s the easiest blender on the market to clean as every part unscrews off effortlessly to clean including the blade. The base is a million times better than the smaller NutriBullet for smoothies… Read more

because it has no grooves or compartment to get food stuck into. Highly recommended. It’s only a four cup capacity so not a huge appliance which in my opinion is perfect for my husband and myself. They do make larger NutriBullet’s if you have a large family. Enjoy!

The smoothest smoothies ever! – Bought recently to replace a Kambrook Blitz Pro which had lasted 4 years of daily use, which ain't bad, but the Blitz Pro is no longer available - who knows why. Maybe Nutribullet has most of the market share? Interestingly, the Blitz Pro motor was still fine, it was just a design flaw that resulted in the plastic internal rotor slowly screwing… Read more

itself down into the plastic housing base, so that eventually it literally melted itself into the base, with the ensuing burning plastic experience. I'm hoping that the NutriBullet design doesn't have this flaw. Very impressed with the NutriBullet smoothie ability so far - easily outperforms the old style blenders. The smoothness of the smoothies is the best I've seen - on a level above the Blitz Pro which I thought was good. Smoothies are typically nuts (almond,brazil,pecan,walnut), seeds (linseeds,hemp,sunflower), hard and soft fruit (bananas,apples,etc), hard veges like ginger and tumeric, and liquid, and the bullet transforms it all within about 30 seconds to an ultra-smooth cream-like smoothie. Very easy to use and very easy to clean. Seems well designed and well built and good quality. One interesting feature is the soft start, where the motor speed is slowly ramped up when power is first applied. This should help to lengthen the life of the motor. Let's see what its endurance is like with daily use, as it's rare to find any long-term use reviews. Will it last as long as the Blitz Pro I wonder ?

Unscrews while blending! – I’ve been using my magic bullet 1000 a couple of times a week for two years and although it’s been great for smoothies and home made hummus, quite often it just unscrews itself from the base in the midst of blending no matter how tightly I screw the jug on or how hard I hang onto both the base and jug while blending. You don’t realize it’s… Read more

happening until liquid starts pouring out the sides and underneath through the leak hole onto the bench top. Then it’s a total pain to clean it all up and makes me so cranky! It’s worse if I put even one or two ice cubes in with just a banana and oatmilk smoothie. Surely a 1000W motor should be able to handle one little ice cube? I’m over it! Not happy Jan

Lasted 2 weeks, can’t find local replacement parts – Regret buying this. Lasted 2 weeks before the gasket fell off when washing. Has been used to make 4 ice coffees (with ice cream, hasn’t even used ice yet). Tried to contact company to find out where I can buy replacement blades because I read that is what you have to do and have had no response. I should have gone with the $50 one because Nutri bullet certainly isn’t any better quality and don’t have any sales follow up. Show details

Perfect smoothie maker – Earlier this year our old blender finally gave up the goose so we did a bit of research and settled on this NutriBullet 1000. We make lots of smoothies, so we didn't necessarily need the larger jug type piece you get with a traditional blender set up. I have seen these bullet blenders around for a while and I wrongly assumed they were just smaller… Read more

blenders. I was wrong. It absolutely atomises frozen fruit so you don't need to worry about chunks of frozen banana or strawberries escaping the smoothie-making process. I have had it for a few months now and have not had any mechanical issues at all and it gets a good work out, at least two times a week.

Unbelievably bad – This blender worked fine for the first 3 months and then started leaking all over the place no matter how tight we ensured the cup was. After a few months we started to observe black powder like substance being ejected from the base of the motor. Contacted support and their response was to replace the blade as it’s mentioned to do so every 6-12… Read more

months in their manual. Wouldn’t have purchased had I known this was a requirement. Looked up the cost of replacement blades and it was $25 AUD plus $15 shipping. No thanks mate, I’d rather spend that money towards my next more reliable blender. What a joke of a brand!

Ridiculous ongoing costs and inadequate customer service – When it works, it's good. However, you have to replace the base every 6mths. You cannot replace the bearings. There are no bases in stock and no reply from nutribullet.  Show details

Everything I wanted in a blender – I am extremely happy with this blender. It simple and easy to use. I only use it for smoothies and grinding coffee beans, and it works perfectly. The best thing about it is the low noise and great efficiency, it blends very quickly. It has not had any leakage at all. I love the 3 interchangeable containers that are dishwasher friendly It sits securely on my kitchen bench , and looks great. Show details

Worst blender – This blender is the worst nutri bullet I have owned. My previous one was awesome and lasted for years. I have had this one for less than a year and it leaks every time I use it. I make sure it is closed tightly every time and it opens up and leaks everywhere. It doesn’t matter if there is ice in it or not. It makes such a mess. I would not recommend buying this blender.  Show details

Disappointed – Purchased in March 2020 from Bed Bath and Beyond. It was great for daily smoothies for about 4 months but there started to be leaking of black goo from under blades. I would have taken it back to store at that point but because of Covid the stores were closed. I continued to use it until a burning smell started with black flecks flying out, I’ve… Read more

since contacted company re warranty and it needs new blades which they will send (until warranty runs out) But I must pay shipping and handling from California to Canada (When they are in stock). I think this is a common problem with this unit because the operator knew exactly what was wrong. In rereading the manual they suggest replacing the blades every 3 months ($24.00 US dollars plus postage) which means when the warranty runs out it is garbage! What a waste of money! I think I will go to Bed Bah and Beyond to complain further.

CAUTION! Pretty good until it LEAKED! DO NOT BUY – Save yourself some money and disappointment and get yourself a better one. Machine is very powerful but noisy but that's not the terrible part. It leaks! I got this brown stuff leaking into the inside as well. I feel so furious because the rust might've leaked into my kids smoothies. This is terrible! I bought another blade, same thing happened!… Read more

You know when you are out of options when kids won't eat and all they want is smoothie. I felt so furious! This nutribullet company has to look into this as this is seriously detrimental to kids health or anybody's.

Pretty good. Does what it says – - Had mine for a few years - Works with ease (my sister has a 600w model and it struggles) - Super noisy - Used 1 to 3 times a week - No major issues, recently and randomly leaking from the shaft seal when dealing with thinner liquids. Show details

Better than 900 series, but NOISY – Upgraded from a 900w unit as I couldnt get a replacement bearing from Bulletbrands Its quieter and seems pretty good so far. The locking mechanism is better than the plastic tabs on the 600/900w units and easy to use. Be aware ice is tough on the blades so use frozen fruit instead. Lets see if the bearings last more than 6 months.. Update: after 12 months blades are no longer sharp and it's very very noisy. Show details

Solid little unit – Only received it today, and made a frozen strawberry smoothie with it. Very efficient, and came out like silky smooth sorbet. Hopefully the blades and motor stay sharp over time. Of course, as with any small blender unit, it is very noisy. That's to be expected though. Show details

Just the Best – Blends almost anything with no issues. From ice to hard veggies to smoothies and shakes! I love the extract function-makes the mix even more creamy. It also does not take long to do the blending compared to other brands wherein you have to open the lid and mix and try again. This Blender is seamless! Show details

Ok for the basics – I've had my Nutribullet about 3 years now, and I'm throwing it in the bin today. It's a good enough blender for smoothies or pancake mix etc, which is pretty much what we mainly used it for. It worked well for the first year, although we had to replace the cups early on as the little sides would break off and then it wouldn't start the blender… Read more

without pressing down into the machine. The 60 second timer is too long. It either froths up and overflows the contents (despite not filling to the max line) or the noise/smell becomes too much. It has never really produced a smooth drink either. Banana always had chunks left over. I'm a bit disappointed that it's only got such a short life span for the price. While I've had it 3 years, the motor smell and the bearing noise have been present for a year already. We've just pushed through until it well and truly died. Buying another blender today but it won't be a Nutribullet.

Best as a smoothie blender and nothing else – Blends perfectly. Used it as a smoothie maker for veggie and fruits. It is so compact, easy to use and it takes up very little space. It is portable and ready to go for holidays. Show details

Great for the first two weeks – After two weeks working well the Nutribullet stopped working a few seconds into making a smoothie. Would not restart, or unlock from the base. Everything slowly leaked out. Returned for replacement, rotting smoothie still inside. Show details
