We were daily users of our Nutribullet RX for YEARS! When it finally stopped working, we took advantage of the opportunity to order the combo as a counter space saving measure. The Blender Combo handles greens, like kale and chard, and frozen fruit as well as the powerful RX model. The only frozen fruit that leaves small pieces consistently, is frozen pineapple. The countdown feature of the multiple speeds helps avoid overheating issues and the preset programs are spot on for handling whatever you mix. I prefer the High speed to the Smoothie preset because my mixtures may contain fibrous additions like fresh ginger pieces. I only need one cycle to liquefy the mixture and the drink is still cold (my liquid addition is cold, brewed green tea). I had to get used to not overfilling the 64oz pitcher. But, using the 32oz cup and extractor blade solved that problem immediately. I will be ordering a second cup. I've tried using it as a blender to make pesto from fresh basil. That was not a success as the pieces were flung to the sides without being properly blended. Will try again at a lower speed and while adding basil and oil from the top. From this experience I can see where you could encounter thicker mixtures being stuck under the non-removable blade of the pitcher. Keep a spatula handy. So far cleaning has not been an issue. I find it best to clean immediately after use. All in all, at six weeks in, this is considered a great purchase.

I make smoothies every day for my son, frozen fruit, PB, protein powders and plant milk- blends with ease! Making more that 2 smoothies or frozen adult beverages- use the big canister! It’s great!! Very loud but they all are. I have replaced the blades on the single serve 2x. Mostly my fault for putting too much in the single serve and then the seal can leak. For the price it’s Awesome!

Not crazy about the noise but hey, it is a 1200W blender! It is like comparing a race car to a Prius! They are supposed to be laud! Love the quality of it and that it has just 3 speed settings: LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH, not like some blenders that have a special speed for everything! I do not need to figure out the difference between "smoothie" and "frappe"!

I really like this blender. It is high powered and fast.

I bought this it was good in till water leaked in the mini blender attachment.

I bought this blender two weeks ago to replace my usual breakfast with smoothies. Pretty standard - half a banana, mixed frozen berries, yogurt, milk or water. Recently started adding spinach and sometimes a couple of cashews. I make smoothies in the cups it came with. My issues: 1. There are always full blueberries, or sometimes even a full small strawberry left in the smoothie that don't fit through the spout when drinking. I find I get a full blueberry in almost every sip. It does not seem to cut well. It does not seem to smash well. You can hear when it hits a full blueberry still. The motor changes speed and the whole mixture jumps. 2. It seems to require a science to get things to mix well. Otherwise the bottom 2" just keep spinning around with the banana and berries relaxing at the top. 3. It is tough to clean, the shape of both the blender and the cups make it hard to get a scrub brush down inside. I have combated the mixing issues by making my smoothie in multiple stages and swapping ingredients. I have swapped milk for water. I also leave the yogurt out and then add it back and the end and shake or give it a second spin. This has helped. I definitely still get many large chunks of fruit in the the smoothie. Ultimately, it seems like poor engineering to the shape of the bucket makes blending and mixing difficult. Same thing with the blades. Tough to clean, does not mix well. I feel more engineering effort in to these things would make a big difference. The motor used to smell every time I used it. This seems to have stopped. I see a lot of people complaining about the motor burning out so I am guessing that is another weak point.

We’ve used this sparingly for almost a couple of years and the other day during extraction (making a smoothie) it began smoking and now smokes when in use and makes the smoothie reek of smoke. I’m hoping that I can get a replacement.

I use the extraction blade and feature setting once a day to make a coffee smoothie and it worked like a dream... for 4 1/2 months! The cycle would stop after running 2-3 seconds. I called customer service they told me you need to replace the blade unit every 6-8 months. Since my unit is still under warranty I only have to pay for shipping. You should get more usage out of it than 4 1/2 months, once a day, that equals 135 uses. Product is not durable or reliable.
