nutribullet RX Personal Blender for Shakes, Smoothies, Food Prep, and Frozen Blending, 45 Ounces, 1700 Watts, Black (N17-1001)

I have a Kitchen Aid blender, and thus surpasses its power, by a lot. Not exactly as compact as I thought, but I would recommend.

Great buying

My old model broke so I upgraded. It’s worth every penny making smoothies and hot soup has been great!

Muy buen producto

We very much like this blender as it meets our specific needs very well, much better than a large blender, a glass blender, or a less powerful blender of any kind. Since we are two adult smoothie-lovers who like large smoothies daily, the provided 3-cup smoothie cups with drinking lids that can be closed after each sip easily are perfect for us. It's so much easier and faster to get great nutrition from a super fast and easy smoothie than to cut up everything and eat each chunk and leaf one by one.Also, we are super excited about using the smoothie bowl maker to make almond butter, tahini (I hope), hummus, guacamole, and other thick things like that. We haven't done it yet, but we're foodie types with tons of spices and other healthy ingredients on hand, so this is a great part of this blender.Now, I want to say that I went back and forth about whether to get a large glass blender as I'd had before or whether to get this BPA-free plastic individual smoothie cup blender with the nut butter cup included. Because the glass jar on our previous blender was so heavy and yet the jar wasn't quite big enough for us each to get a large smoothie, and because we really only used it for smoothies, it made far more sense for us to get this blender. As a professional writer, my hands have been overused, so avoiding the heavy, full glass jar is great. Having said that, the smoothie cups are so large that we can actually use only one of them and then pour nice servings for each or pour out half for each and then add some juice or plant milk. So, it's really perfect for us in terms of the capabilities and provided containers.We're very happy we bought it, but there are two downsides to be managed:1) The powerful motor is loud no matter what you make. This is typical of strong motors. Most blenders do not have noise shields though some are better sound insulated. I strongly recommend that everyone in the vicinity uses well-fitting earplugs. I got some soft ones that can be rolled into a small log and placed in m petite ear canals before expanding to reduce sound by 32db. I keep them in the drawer below the blender and either shut my son's door or make sure he has his noise-cancelling earbuds in or both. Again, this is not unique among blenders. The programs don't need any attention, so you can just push one button and walk away for the minute it takes to do it's job. It's not a big deal.2) The powerful motor does produce heat as is true for other powerful motors. If you're going to use the extraction mode for a large smoothie without a lot of frozen items on a hot day, the tabs on the smoothie cup might soften due to the heat. It's not hot to the touch, mind you. But, I would take care in that instance to use a lot of frozen items and chill the liquid and other items if the kitchen is hot. Also, make sure there is plenty of ventilation around the blender to allow it to spit out the warm air and bring cooler air in. If you place this on a clean, dry counter on an island with a fan or breeze blowing on it and use plenty of very cold and frozen items, you should be fine. Just know that with any powerful blender (or juicer), the food will warm up due to the power of the motor. So, start with the items altogether being colder than what you want the final item to be. Another choice would be to peel the fruit, use less hard fruit unpeeled fruit, use more liquid and less solid food or maybe do this in a cold room.Here are a couple of additional tips:1) Rinse out the smoothie cups, lids, and blades immediately after use. If there isn't any fat in the smoothies, they should rinse to look clean. Leaving them longer or letting the residue dry on means you'll have to use a sponge or cloth to remove the bits on the inside. You'll still want to use dish soap, but rinsing immediately is very easy and fast.2) After carefully washing the sharp blade assembly holding it in one hand and rinsing under lukewarm water, only using a sponge on a stick or soft brush if needed, gently shake off excess water and place at an angle upside down inside a clean 24 oz. yogurt container without the lid. That will allow the blades to drip dry and get ventilation to complete drying. Never toss it in the sink with other dirty dishes as the blades are sharp. I'd definitely keep this locked away from small children and supervise/assist older children until they are reliably safe with the blades. That's true for any blender blade aIf somehow the blender was quieter and didn't warm the ingredients noticeably, I'd give this five stars. That's a little bit unfair as the power of the motor and the price I paid ($89) was favorable compared to many other options. You can't really get a quiet, powerful blender without dealing with noise. Also, I haven't experienced the softening of the smoothie cup tabs except when using the longer extraction program to make smoothies from hard fruits with tough skins along with other ingredients. I suspect that most people will never encounter this concern, so it wouldn't be fair to really consider that a fault. I may be stretching the capabilities a little. You can't get all the features of glass in plastic, and I needed less weight in the container. So, I'm content so long as I can use a workaround such as using the shorter smoothie program, using more cold and frozen ingredients, providing more ventilation, etc. I consider this a problem I can probably avoid.Overall, we are very happy with the blender. I don't recommend this or other powerful blenders unless you use ear protection of some kind, though.

Es fácil de usar y muy efectivo para hacer los jugos porque no dejan residuo alguno

This equipment it's very good, believe me try it. I'm not trying to push you to buy it just try it out,you will see the it is way different better.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the first Nutribullet N17-001 blender 09/2019. It failed with a electric smoke coming from the motor 10/2022 at just over 3 years of daily service before the complete motor failure.Instead of exploring repair alternatives I made the mistake of purchasing a second new unit 10/2022, which failed 02/2023, which is just over 4 months of service, well within the 1 year warranty. I contacted the company to provide me with warranty service and I experienced the worst customer service ever. They seemed to be doing everything to delay or frustrate the warranty service process.First, they required I email them with my complete purchase information along with several photos of the unit, and then a day later, they sent me an email asking me to phone in to their customer service department to "discuss" the issue. I called them and they started the call by asking me for all of the same information I had already provided to them, (name, address, etc.). I asked the CSR several times if they wanted the case number from the email they had sent me, and instead of taking that number this CSR entered in my information again, and then assigned me another case number.Then they read out the "you must use the blade tool to tighten the blade into the cup" speech, which was was totally unwarranted, as this wasn't related to the problems I was experiencing. When I admitted never using the blade tool, I asked the CSR if this meant that they would deny me warranty service, and they never answered me with a clear response. Instead they then proceeded to instruct me that the problem with my unit is the blade, (without seeing, hearing, or testing the unit at all), and that I needed to throw the current blade away, and pay shipping to them, in order to ship me the warranty replacement blade.When I explained to the CSR that this wasn't an issue with the blade, as I have 3 different blades here that I've tried, I even turned on the unit for him to hear the motor struggle for about 10 seconds and then just stop. (I've included a video of the unit in operation here so you can determine if the problem is the blade or the motor). The CSR continued to insist that the only option was for them to replace my blade before considering replacing the motor unit. As this would entail wasting much more of my time, I decided to instead never again consider a product from this company.I can say this about the Nutribullet blender, when it works, it's a good blender for smoothies, (which is our primary use case). However, if you need ANY service of the unit, (and based on my 2 for 2 experience, I'm going to guess you will), hopefully you'll be able to repair it yourself because the company appears to be focused on performing as few warranty replacements possible.
