Pro+ Personal Blender, Pulse, 1200W, Matte Black, N12-1001MK

This thing is a beast. This is our third "Bullet." And it is the largest and most powerful by far. That is good, and not so good. First the good stuff: (1) If you've ever had frozen fruit or ice not properly blend, you're now unlikely to have that problem with this monster, (2) If you've ever run out of "cup space," the included 24 oz and 32 oz "cups" are beyond huge.The bad: the quick, light, and easy "Magic Bullet" is no more. This moves it closer to a traditional blender in size and weight (which we were avoiding).The main design problem with the "Bullet" concept as a whole is the need to invert the cup. The problem with the need to invert is that light and gloopy stuff are stuck on the top after inverting the cup, stuff stuck to the top of the inverted cup don't get blended. When my spouse tried to use it, her recipe included Greek yogurt. However, when the cup was inverted, a lot of the Greek yogurt remained stuck to what used to be the base, but now is the top of the cup, and it didn't get blended. No amount of blending power solves this problem. The root cause is the need to invert the cup, because what stated out as the base of the cup becomes the top. Traditional blenders don't have this problem because there is no need to invert a cup. But traditional blenders are big and take a lot of space. This model preserves the inversion problem while approaching the size and weight of traditional blenders. Happily, unlike traditional blenders, it remains as simple to use as before.The problem caused by the need to invert the blending cup can be mitigated. One approach is to change the order of how one fills the cup. Instead of starting with light (for example, sprouts) or sticky-gloopy (for example, greek yogurt), add heavy and wet ingredients first (for example, ice and then the liquid). When the cup is inverted the wet-heavy-not-sticky ingredients pushes everything down onto the blades and nothing (or much less) remains stuck to what now is the top of the cup after inversion.Perhaps a more reliable fix is to provide cups with treads on both ends to avoid the need to invert. The blade unit is attached on one end and then the cup cover on the other end after filling it, no need to invert the cup.This unit deserves all five stars. Everything about it is good quality. It is a solid piece of kit. Aside from the high quality device (and excellent packaging), I really appreciate the included "Pocket Nutritionist" smoothie-building guidebook. It is very well done! I learned a lot from it. The team that put that smoothie guide together should be awarded.What I miss are smaller cups. The included 32 oz cup is "family-size," and the smaller 24 oz cup is still too much for one person, it accommodates up to 2.5 cups if filled to the "max" line marker. That means 20 oz fill capacity for 24 oz cup size. It would be nice to be able to get a 16 oz cup that would have a full capacity at about 12 oz (1.5 cups). Also, the max line marker font is too small! Why not make it more legible?This replaced our second Magic Bullet which gave up after many years of good service. Even if we were initially surprised by the size and weight of this model, we are impressed by the build quality and power. Just like our original Magic Bullet, this is a keeper!

This NutriBullet blender is AMAZING!-It’s 1200 watts and literally takes less than 10 SECONDS to blend a Frappuccino.-It handles chunks (not little pieces!) of ice like a Boss. It only takes about 15-20 seconds to fully blend a smoothie (I use frozen pineapple, frozen cherries, frozen banana chunks) with zero chunks! Smooth as silk.It came with the base, which I wasn’t sure I would like, but I love it!You can start blending by seating the jar onto the base, twisting it and let it go. BUT since it only takes a few seconds it’s easy to stop by the push of a button which lights up. If you wanna pulse, just press the button. Super easy!The reason I did not originally opt for NutriBullet was because I can’t afford the price.Full price is $129+ taxCurrently on sale for $99+ taxI snagged it on a Prime Day and got it for $79 plus tax, which fit my budget!It was like the universe said “hey, you’ve been thru hell trying to find a good quality blender. Here it is. You’re welcome.”Y’all. In the last couple of months I’ve returned 3 blenders (two different brands) to Amazon:1000w blender broke, got replaced and then the replacement stopped working too.Then tried a 900w, different style of blender, that was super loud, took forever to blend, left chunks, was a challenge to figure out how its operate, and almost impossible to remove the jug to clean it.So I was back to the drawing board trying to find a good blender to make Frappuccinos and Smoothies (daily). My dad had a NutriBullet years ago so I remembered how good it was.This version is wayyyyy better.So if you’ve been through the mill trying out blenders for $39 or $59 bucks, just bite the bullet and get this one when it’s on sale or has a promotion. It’s completely worth it.

It’s a little loud, but so easy to use.Clean up a breeze. Easy to store or leave on counter, much smaller than a blender. Drink out of the same container you mix in. Great for frozen drinks, add ice & liquid, it’s done. Love it, this is the 4th one I’ve owned. 👍

Love it, awesome for smoothies and manages very well frozen fruit.

It’s very convenient to make protein shakes however, I’m not sure if it’s my fault but some of the most recent times that I’ve used it, it starts to leak from where the plastic cup attaches to the blender. But again, not sure if it’s my fault if I’m overfilling it. Otherwise it’s great.

I love this item we use it all the time. If you're into this sort of thing I definitely recommend purchasing this product. It's a quality product and have had no issues with it.

I love this machine, it is so powerful and does a wonderful job. I put frozen strawberries in it with my protein powder, and it whipped up my shake without slowing down. I really like the feet on this machine; it holds it in place and does not move at all. I have had a NutriBullet and like it, but decided to upgrade my old one for a little more power, and I am not disappointed at all.

As you can see in this photo, I went from an original NutriBullet which I purchased eight years ago. The old girl motor was starting to burn out. So it’s time for me to get a new one. I was definitely surprised when I noticed the cup is considerably smaller than the original. It does work good, but I guess you could say I was spoiled with the first one that had a handle on the cup, I could make more of a drink to share instead of a single serving. This was a disappointment. It makes me wonder, is this one going to last as long as my original Nutri bullet?!UPDATE: I have now had this blender for about a month. I wanted to hold off before I sent my review in. I stand by the fact that this blender is a lot smaller than the first Nutri bullet that I owned. But that is not my major concern now. It’s the fact that if you don’t put it on really tight, it will leak the drink all in the inside and drain out through the bottom. You have to put the lid on so tight that it won’t leak. But that’s where the problem comes up. You need vice grips to remove it once you’re done blending. I usually have to have my husband help me take it off and I am pretty strong. It develops a vacuum, that really keeps it tight. This is not for someone who has weak wrist or has arthritis on their wrist/hands! My husband and I were on vacation and I took it with us, that is when I noticed this problem. Unfortunately, I threw away the packaging and it was too late for me to return it. I give it a one star only because it blends the way it’s supposed to. But other than that would be having to wash/clean up the inside (see pics) and pray that I don’t get electrocuted when I use it again. I wouldn’t recommend this to people that have Arthritic issues.UPDATE: I gave it more time to see if it worked out and it was a complete bust. I can now officially say this blender finally gave up the ghost. I went to blend yesterday and the blender did not start at all. I was telling my husband that I’m just throwing this thing away it’s net worth returning it. My husband opened up the bottom of it to look at it, and it was allcorroded with what I’m assuming is the smoothie in the inside causing the motor to burn out. In addition, I would tighten the cap/lid as much as I could to avoid splattering or leaking and I would say 5 times out of 10 it wouldn’t leak. And if its did leak I would need to rinse it out because it would go inside. It would be draining smoothie mix from underneath.So the bottom line is, I will never buy another Nutri bullet again. $100 down the drain.

Mine came with a U.S. style plug-end and not a standard 3 pin adaptor plug rendering product useless. As this was ordered from Amazon "UK" this shouldn't be happening....
