Nutribullet?

I just bought one on sale at kohls for 79 bucks. So far I'm very impressed with it, way better than my normal blender.

My friend bought it and she RAVES about it! I am not a juicer, but she swears by the thing. I have been invited over to taste one of her concoctions, but haven't been there yet, so I can't speak from personal experience.

why not save a little more and get a vitamix or a blendtec?

We have a Magic Bullet and use it daily. I thought my husband was nuts when he bought it but I use it as much if not more than he does. I think he found one on sale at a store for about $50 a few years ago. We haven't used our regular full-size blender since. I don't even know where that is anymore. We use it mostly for smoothies made mostly from fruit, yogurt, juice or milk and protein powder. My husband adds things like nuts and seeds to his. I also use it grind my spice blends - rather than hand crank 2 tablespoons of black pepper, I can throw the peppercorns and everything else in there and get a nice blend. I have also ground cinnamon sticks and very small quantities of almonds (but if I need a cup of almond flour, my food processor is better). It also does a nice job of blending soups and pureeing squash in small batches.

From what I understand, the Nutribullet has a much stronger motor (600 vs. 250 hp) and a stronger blade to be able to throw in things like veggies and things that have skin. If you're really looking to go hardcore with your drinks it might be worth the investment. But if you realistically will be blending things like yogurt, berries, bananas, protein powder and ice you can probably pick up a Magic Bullet for much less money ($50) and still do what you need to do.
