Nutribullet 900

Hsn has the Nutribullet 900 for $139, free shipping and five flex pays. I got this model a month ago and love it! According to reviews, its more like the vitamix than the 600 model.

Just turned to HSN, looks like a nice powerful machine

I have had two Ninjas and love them, but the 900 liquifies carrots, ginger, etc, in a way the ninja can't... better for vegetable smoothies. I didn't want the size or expense of a vitamix.

Does it REALLY do just as good as of a job as a Vitamix?

My main concern is how long this will last. With a Vitamix, it's made in the USA. I'm afraid this might last a year, then it will burn out. I'd rather invest more money into something that will go the long haul.

I saw one presentation with Shannon last night. Chunky berries were coming out in the ice cream or whatever they were making. So I don't see this thing liquefying anything, or is it somehow adjustable?

Depglass, you were watching the Nutribullet dessert maker, which is like yonanas. Makes "ice cream" out of bananas and other fruit. The Nutribullet 900 is for smoothies, soups, etc.

With such a good deal, I couldn't pass it up.

I'll let you all know how it works out.

I'm excited to start juicing.

radimage, if you belong to Costco, they have a huge bag of "power greens" for $4. Its got kale, spinach and chard, enough to last for two weeks. Add in some frozen fruit and its delicious. I am sleeping better and lost my desire for ice cream, etc.

I love mine! I got it about 2 months ago. It pulverizes everything beautifully! I had heard online that Kohl's had it mismarked on the website for $99 when it should have been the 600 model for $99. It was "out of stock" but said my store had it in stock so I printed the page from the website and went that night to Kohl's. At the checkout, the girl said "that will be $151" and I said "no it's $99.". She said "no, that's the 600 model". I showed her my printout, she called a manager over and he gave it to me for $99. The next day I told a co-worker and she did the same deal! It came with lots of blender containers, a lid, handle, drinking rim etc. I've done shakes with Kale, apples etc. and all get totally blended...no chunks!

I have a Vitamix which I absolutely love, we use it every day (mostly mornings) for green smoothies. However I'm really thinking of getting this for those mornings when my hubby doesn't want a smoothie. When making only for me, this will prevent having to do extra cleanup.

What do those green smoothies taste like? Do you have to force yourself to swallow them? They just look dreadful to me, and I love veggies.

Hey thanks! Great tip. There's a CostCo right down the way from me.

ilovedaisies, if you have a juice bar in town, try one first! Whole Foods has one, for example. The taste will depend on what you put in but the fruit will usually dominate.

I invested in a VitaMix. I use it twice a day everyday. It is worth every penny to me!

So far I've used kale, or spinach, or a combo of collard greens and mustard greens - the worst. It doesn't matter what kind or how much fruit I put in...OMG I have to choke it down. I think my Nutribullet is getting close to being used solely for margaritas.

Hey...personally I say start out with at least 70-80% fruit and about 20-30% greens. Baby spinach is VERY mild, almost no taste and slightly sweet. Other than the green color, you won't even know that it's there. If you are just starting, use just a bit of the mildest greens you can find...on the fruit side, bananas make a great addition. Fewer and simpler items will keep you from getting a brown nasty mess! I'll bet in no time you'll find that smoothies heavy on the fruit are TOO sweet. You'll want to cut back on the fruit, increasing your greens and various veggies. I like my drinks thin, so I add lots of water/ice, almond milk or even skim milk. My absolute favorite is a cup of frozen pineapple and a wad of cilantro, blended with some water. I then mix it with more water to make 1 - 1.5 L of beverage. I can then drink on that all day. Also checkout Green Smoothie Habit on YouTube...she has lots of green smoothie videos. Enjoy!

Best way to cover the ""green"" flavor is pineapple.

Mustard greens, YUCK! I learned that one the hard way. I later read somewhere that mustard is not a good choice for smoothies. Wish I had read that first :-)

If made right they taste a lot better than they look.
