I've recently purchased the NutriBullet, and I love it. There are so many varieties of nutritious nutrimixes you make with this machine. I like it better than a juicer because I know that I am getting all of the nutrients. I was amazed at how easily it can breakdown carrots, ice, frozen fruit, and nuts (almonds) to a liquid like form. I can also feel the boost of energy running through my body after I drink my morning mix. Its amazing how fresh it makes you feel inside. It is also very easy to clean. It's just amazing. As long as you follow the directions (don't fill the cups up past the "Max" line", the nutribullet will work just fine. Also remember that if you want it to be juice, use more liquid, if you want a smoothly concoction use less liquid.
