Whats up guys?
I wanted to show you real quick
something
Some complaints that people are having
with the
Nutribullet.
And
somethings I tend to
actually
overlook
and ignore
actually.
Now
if you look
inside
the nutribullet
it stains
its like
the stuff drips out
and
I'm usually on the go
so I dont always clean it
right away.
Sometimes I'm not really
thinking about it.
I make my drink
and I'm gone.
So
about once a week
or whatever
I
go back and I
clean it when
I realize
alright damn
this thing is getting
dirty.
Now
What happens is
if you haven't seen
the other video
that I have done
what happens is
These cups have a max line
capacity.
See?
What
I
and a lot of
other people
tend to do
is
fill it past
this max line.
Now
what happens
when you
do that.
All the liquid is gonna
push out
and it starts
to push
though
this little
thing.
Now
as it gets old
as the blade
gets old
I dont know
if you can see it
sorry.
I dont know
if you can se it
but
you start to get
the separation
between the blade
and the
the middle of it.
That causes
when you put too much
liquid
that pressure makes
it push though
it leaks
though the bottom.
You can see
the rust on my finger.
It starts to rust.
Some people complain
that it leaks
around the
sealing right here.
But
its actually
its coming from
this way.
And if you see the blades
there is some
discoloration
on it.
Its not rust
actually
its just like
I think if I scrubbed it
it would come off.
A lot of times
I have a habit of
just rinsing it off
and
I guess
the little
stuff just gets
stuck on it.
Like I said
it does
rust under here
and
the little things
start to
come out.
You have to push them
back in.
Nutribullet
does tend
to get loud
sometimes also
and a lot of
people are having
issues with it.
People ask me
about this.
These are actually
minor things to me.
One person just
told me that
they bought
the nutribullet
recently and it
leaked.
It burnt out the motor.
And
you know
people are having
issues with it.
Other than this
leak issue
witch is basically
like I said
because this thing gets
loose and you
overfill it.
I dont have any problems
with this thing
and
these things
I can
overlook.
I wipe it out
witch I'm about to do
I'm going to
take a paper towel
wet it slightly
and just
wipe it out.
And its not going to
have any problems.
I haven't had
any problem
with the motor.
So
these are things
to look for
if you are purchasing
the nutribullet
or of you
are thinking about purchasing
ther are some issues.
I have heard that
the company has
made the newer
versions better.
So it doesnt
have these issues.
The blade is reenforced
around the bearing
part
and
just little
minor things.
For me these
are not really
big issues
compared to
what the nutribullet
does for me.
So
you know
I'm just
bringing this to
peoples attention.
There are
certain
risk factors
with using a
nutribullet
it does have its
little drawbacks
but those
are the only ones
and
if
for me
this is not a reason
not to purchase
this
product.
So dont let that
be an excuse
not to purchase
the product
because
the bad things...
the positives
greatly outweigh
the negatives
with this.
So
I just hope this
helps anybody
who has
a nutribullet
who is thinking baout
getting a
nutribullet
You have to take
the good
with the bad
I guess but
its not that serious
at least not for me.
So

a big difference.
And until
next time
good luck with
your nutribullet.
Good luck juicing.

Used correctly, this machine works perfectly. So many people DO NOT read the instructions, and that is a MUST to do. I NEVER go beyond the MAX line when putting in liquids. It stands to reason that overfilling the container will lead to problems. Thank you for saying other positive things about this product. It is a wonderful product.
Your'e right Lily I use it myself. And I LOVE IT!
ha - yes - i maxed mine out and even pushed in more food - the motor blew. I then realised there was a max line. Duh.
Please help me it was my first time using the blender and I didn’t see the max line now I’m crying on my floor because it’s above the max line and it won’t open
Mine was below the max line and still having issues with it 🙄🙄
thanks fitness radar, i just purchased the nutribullet and will be sure to take care of it, i think the part about the max line is really helpful for me as i try to get the most into the nutribullet getting the most out of it. Keep doing what you're doing, I'm hoping to see more on the nutribullet maintenance, recipes etc…. (:
Change the title of the video to "The Downside Of Laziness"
BloodyMaori I should lol
Totally agree. It even says in the booklet to give it a wipe over after using it. It's not hard to just stick to what the instructions and warnings say like not going over the max line, I would expect people to get results like this when they clearly warn you about them! I have more problems with my old blender than with the Nutribullet.
Totally he should do. Suppose to clean it everyday! I mean once a week? I bet your bullet stinks -_'- and not suppose to over fill it. I think you should upgrade it to the Nutribullet Pro. They give a bigger cup so you don't have to fill it over the max line..
Excellent comment. I always rinse it and keep it clean . I'm not ocd. Just a rinse . That's all
Ameerun Nessa I like how you put I bet your bullet stinks not something you hear often lol
I bought mine almost a year ago. I noticed the leak but it only happens sometimes specially when I add too much water. Few time the machine stopped working, but after few minutes later it started working again. I love it.
There's a MAX line for a reason dude.
It has a max line for a reason!
True that..
@@0xDEAD-C0DE it was my first time using it and I didn’t see the max line and I just wanted to make a smoothie now the kids is stuck please help me I didn’t mean to overfill it
The nutribullet is so easy to clean, if you just keep that up, it's going to last. Don't put the blade in dishwasher, it take two seconds to rinse off after use. It's been six months of daily abuse by multiple people and it still works like new. One thing I would stress, don't leave it running for too long. (the nutribullet takes only a few seconds to blend everything.....bursts at a time) Love it!
i've had the leaking problems but i realized (at the time, not from this video) that it was due to me trying to sneak a little bit more in over the max line). my concern was that it might hurt the motor. my biggest concern is that regardless of cleaning, the NB jars stain. here's a shout to nb customer service, they replaced a jar (under warraty) when a piece of frozen avocado shot through the side. another note, regardless of the "max line" some things will "explode" and shoot out leaking. beet powder added to a smoothie is particularly volatile. just a comment, as i have adjusted. considering a move from NB Lean to NB RX. any input?
I will never forget when I burned my first blade out on a 10 second pull with a 32oz cup full to the brim
Just bought one and used it for the first time, I love it so far. Like any product that's man made, they won't last unless its used properly and taken cared of.
I use this everyday, twice a day. My mate also uses it everyday, twice a day as well. If you take literally under 1 minute to whip the blender's base, it will be nice. Cleaning it after every use helps it to stay new as well. Once you keep it clean, you can avoid these problems. LOL following the max line is a great idea as well. Hahaha. Can get cheaper blenders that do the same thing. Once you keep good care of a product, will last long. The pressure gained from fulling beyond the max point, when it blends, you can literally feel as if it will fall a part.
This was really by accident that I found your video. I search for an answer online and could not find it, so I stopped paying attention to it for a long time. Now that I found your videos, I felt encouraged and I will start using it again. Thank you for sharing. And thanks for great ideas about smoothies.
Quite funny reading all these comments. Some of them are complaints like 'its leaking' and you read more and it says 'yes I do overfill it BUT it shouldn't leak like that' or 'its rusty. I must admit I don't clean it every day BUT'
Seriously?! You cant complain about a product if you don't take care of it! Its like leaving a soup in the fridge for 12 months, eating it, being sick and claiming the product was at fault.
If it is your fault, or if you think it is your fault, because you didn't take proper care of it, don't complain, it just makes you look silly!
On the other hand, if you know you have taken all the steps to make sure these things didn't happen, and they did, you have every right to complain, and demand a refund for the item.
I agree
You are totally right..people don't read direcctions,do everthing wrong and then complain.
its a shame I almost didnt get one because of those types of people.
Yep, I totally agree. Today I filled the cup to the brim with ingredients but made sure the water was about a finger width below the max line and it didn't leak a single drop. But, with our busy lives I can see how people can get less attentive to this and make a mistake of overfilling.
Great video!! Love your honesty! I just bought my Nutribullet and it works great. Like you said, over filling it is gonna cause problems. I think the problems people have with it are due to not fully following the directions.
I just got mine ..no issues or problems yet ..loving it ...
I am a proud owner of the Nutribullet and have never had any issues such as this. Common sense is all that is required to keep it cleaned and maintained. It's been 2yrs and my machine looks practically bran new! ;)
Thats great. Im a man and I dont read directions so I have to learn the hard way lmao. I take better care of it and have had no problems since.
I had the same problem but I was missing the gasket on the blades and I returned the unit and got a new one with the proper gasket. I 've had a magic bullet and it performed well. So make sure you have a gasket where the cup meets the blade unit. Dave
Yeah the older blades dont have them. The new ones all have it. Thanks
Thank you! I have the exact same issue, but of course I was not reading the manual :). Mine actually gave in but I am about to still order the never version ( 1000) , and will take proper care of it. I am in love with my Nutribullet, still:)
Hey thanks man. I am getting ready to upgrade to the bullet, but my Oster has been working pretty good. I too hope the benefits outweigh the few complaints. Thanks again for the info. I am not discouraged.
The newer ones are made better than the original and if taken care of it will last with no problem. I would recommend looking into a Nutri Ninja though. It is a little better than the bullet.
THE FITNESS RADAR Thanks, just got home from Wall Mart with my new Nutra Ninja for $89.00. Thanks again for your advice.
I have a video comparing the two blade, The one you have is the newer one. There are a few people that say they are having the same problem with it. I think the problem is mostly over filling it and not adding enough liquid. It puts to much stress on the blade and makes it come loose. Even with this issue I still love this product. Best of luck to you!
You are absolutely right in saying that many people OVERFILL the NutriBullet and cause it to leak through the seal. The container has a line on it that says MAX, but I see complaints and even RUclips reviews where the guy overfills the unit and then complains that it leaks or the motor overheats. I love my NutriBullet, and I have been using blenders/processors for decades.
Great comparison...thanx! I ♥ my NutriBullet.
I've used blenders and food processors for years, and the Nutribullet is a totally different process. Here's why: It is for liquefying veggies/fruits/nuts. The Ninja and other blenders just sort of chop them up into smaller pieces without liquefying. It's also better than the VitaMaster and juicers which are designed to separate out the pulp....I WANT the pulp, not only the juice. I bought the seven dollar maintenance agreement, too.
Went through this same situation, nutribullet has a new blade assembly but, it won't work with older units, so they sent me a new motor unit as well. as far as preventing leaks, if you overfill the cup it will pressure up when it's turned on and leak at it's weakest point. through the rubber gasket, or through the blade bearing housing. to prevent rust I do not submerge the blade unit in the sink, (water + metal = rust) lift gasket out clean well, and I spray blade assembly with germ x type cleaner and soapy water then rinse lightly.
I noticed you were using the old style blades. I had problems with that type too. The newer version is much improved. I can take the new ones apart to clean them whereas I couldn't do that with the older ones. The only thing they need to do to improve the product now would be to add a knob, like the Waring variable speed blender (YO-04245-60), that would give multiple speeds. You would then lock the container onto the base,and then turn the knob to the desired speed. Just one variable speed knob would do, not a dozen buttons to press. Add that feature to the NB Pro and you'd have a near-perfect blender.
I have to agree with you. The blade has become loose and has the separation that you described. I think the motor is still good. So I may have to get a new blade eventually. All in all, I like the Nutribullet better than any other I have tried for smooth drinks. I can handle anything I put into it.
The leaking is a well known issue and it comes down to the keeping your stuff at or under the line. The problem I have with the NB is the wet blade bearings gave out in about a year of use, I noticed some goop leaking and then a day or two later the blade seized. I guess the goop was leaking lubricant. I statted using our old full sized blender and have come to prefer that over the NB and now we have a Vitamix. However, I am getting the wet blade replaced 'cause the wife doesn't want to use the full sized blender for her "small" needs.
I am glad to see this video. My nutribullet is leaking too, never thought the max line instruction was so important. Also the blades are bad..But the store I bought it from its going to replace it for free...
I had the same leakage problem with my 1st Extractor Blade. Since I have an Extended Warranty, I called Customer Service and they replaced the top for free, but I paid about $3.95 for shipping. I was overfilling the cup too. The Representative said when the blade or rubber gasket goes bad, it needs to be replaced. That is the reason it gets louder. A bad blade causes the motor to run hard and hot. Believe it or not, the motor did quiet down when I used the replacement blade. Hope this helps.
I had the same problem and the cheapest solution was to replace the blades, I disassemble the old blade and notice that the two bearings REF (626ZZ) they have in the shaft were badly damaged in a short time. According to the television commercial says that putting fruits and vegetables into large pieces into the glass, I think this is negative, the poor cutting blades and apparently by high engine revolution is no filtration of the juice to the bearings.
Very glad I viewed this Video before buying my first Nutribullet. I see the parts have to be replaced now and then, like a smart phone needs a new battery now and then and its important to wash it now and then..but just to save the hassle..your looking at having to buy parts which to me will be probably cost more than I would spend on a blender. The feedback is great to know. Thank you
Just bought my new bullet and was worried when I saw your video title. But I agree with you, these are minor issues. But thanks for the heads up
The noise is from the blade. I used to think it was the motor until I got a new blade. I hear a lot of good and bad about the vitamix but its too expensive and too big. Thanks for the insight.
I actually had the same problem. I approaches mine about a year-and-a-half ago when this began to occur. Eventually just stopped working on together which send me to be honest. But I chose to buy a Nutri Ninja unit on my next purchase. It is not the auto IQ or anything larger but just the manual twist and push. I find this particular product to be most energetic and pleasant to use. And also , the fact that the blades are raised up , which allows for easy use, which allows for the next person to use it if necessary. It can be used right away even when wet. There is no leakage there is no rust. There is just pure enjoyment and the product that you make within this item you can only be pleased with. Good job Nutri Ninja.
Kimberly Bedel until it breaks
Bad job Nutribullet!
Mine is close to a year old, I had to replace the blade and its running fine now. I havent beem using it as much as I used to but I am monitoring how this blade holds up.
Thank you for your comment I used my nutribullet a gain this time the black mark was less than it was when I first used it I'm going to give it another try tomorrow to see if it as stopped living a black mark on the work surf is!
Your welcome. I hope it works correctly.
Good on you... for helping us to make a decision... well done in our purchase making a..what could be..don't normally bother to comment on vide... tho you helped me... and you didn't have to..a.Godless you for your efforts...
Another tip. don't removed the rubber stopper inside the unit. it will burn out the motor. I did that on my first one and did not know that they were supposed to stay in. so I had to go and exchange mine. I still the love the product since it is easy to use
Thank you so much about such extensive information about the rust and the leak of Nutribullet.
This happened with my nutribullet. When the blade starts to separate and leak the nutribullet will get much louder. So if your unit is performing with more noise it probably means that your blade needs to be replaced. My unit was under warranty so the nutribullet people replaced it with just a shipping fee.
Yeah I replaced the blade and dont have the problem an more
I use red nail polish to make a very visual extension of the "max" line. I found that the small black line is hard to see when filled with spinach or dark greens. I clean the jar & extractor blade by rinsing with warm water and the filling the jar to max line with warm water and a few drops of dishwashing detergent. Place back in the base and run for 30 seconds. Then simply rinse. Hope this helps other users.
Had mine for 5 years now. Love it use it nearly everyday. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM!
I just got a new blade and im going to treat this one better than the first one and see if that helps. The blades are cheap to order so thats a good thing. Even with this problem I love this thing.
I just bought a Nutribullet online, and it's currently being shipped. I've watched all the reviews and complain videos posted on RUclips. To summarize:
1. Read the manual carefully, and follow what it says.
2. Don't fill water / liquid beyond the 'max' line on the jar
3. Don't run the blades for more than 15-20 seconds at a time.
4. Clean thoroughly immediately after each use
5. Take apart the blade assembly once a week, and deep clean
6. Change the blade assembly annually. It is very reasonably priced.
7. Don't use NutriBullet for anything other than smoothies, juices and chutneys. Certainly not for dry grinding and nut-buttering.
I checked it out. I have not had that same problem but did have a similar problem before I purchased a new blade. I wonder if the blade was rusting from being left in water after using it. I have been treating my new blade much better and im checking to see if this one last any longer due to better care.
Thanks for showing this, how old is your NutriBullet? I ask because I have see some reviews on Amazon that say their blades started wobbling and the unit leaking within 2 months of once a day use even if the unit was not overfilled.
The instuctions clearly state that you should NOT fill the cup above the MAX line.
Like any appliance, if you don't follow manufacturer's instructions, you can expect problems.
Your right.
RackboyzFitness You're right.
Alexandra Spargo :)
Your right. I treat my NB much better now and with a new blade its running as good as new.
If you see rust be careful because it sometimes leaks up through the cup.. Put just water in the cup and blend it for a bit and see that it changes color!
I don't overfill it and it still "leaks" though we've confirmed pretty much that it's also grease or whatever was packed in the bearings leaking out of the bottom- so that means it can also go into my drink as the seal is loosened after time. The first time it happened I was freaked- it was like a super dark brown sludge- and lots of it and it was not a cocoa smoothie at the time...I can't believe the crap I've gotten out while trying to troubleshoot and clean this thing out completely. (ran hot water several times and used paper towels to get under the rubber base that is on the underside where it leaks. Yes I've pushed the fill amount in the past and maybe that didn't help with the pressure as this guy mentioned but my mother has one that I bought from the same place at the same time (though they look like two completely different models- hers has a plastic' liner' around the inside of the base that makes it look terrible- can NOT clean up the leaks which get in between and makes it look dirty! Blade base is different too...) and she never over fills it yet she's had the exact same liquid/sludge leak out. I pretty much clean base out completely (using a toothpick etc. to get every little crevice and take out the rubber plugs to clean them as well) each and every time and I do clean the blade with soap and water with a scrubby sponge, yet I have the exact same discoloration/residue on my blades as shown in this video.(though I can get the base looking clean!)
THAT said, :-) I do LOVE this thing- I am just trying to decide if I really want to purchase another one knowing how many issues it has after about a year of use. (used daily in the first few months and now prob. 2-5 times a week- varies) The blade now is so tight that it barely can be forced to spin- this is causing the motor to sound as though it will burn out any day now. It hurts my ears to try to run it....I've been using olive oil sprayed under the blade on both sides (using a "Misto") as I know whatever I 'lube' it with will end up in my drink in some amount. That does help and has enabled me to not blow it up yet. ;-) The second blade which is a "milling" blade is great and still is without probelms though it is used far less often and in much much shorter bursts unless you are trying to make butter- cause it will do so if you do it for more than a few seconds at a time. It is awesome for making your own flours out of every imaginable nut, grain, or seed!! Even tiny little Teff grains are mostly ground by this thing! I do short little bursts to avoid heat damage to the grain/nut.(you can actually see sides steam up a little if not careful!) That is simply amazing if you know how TINY Teff grains are- they make Amaranth look huge ;-) This has been a wonderful boost for my health though...from forcing nutrient dense drinks full of raw veggies that I otherwise would not eat (lets be honest- we're not all good little rabbits!) and I can grind what I need at a time to make gluten free baked goods of all types.
Gotta admit I'm going to check out Ninja's new version...they obviously realized that the concept was a winner to all but copy it. I'm also considering the VItamix but don't know enough to yet to know if my uses would justify the cost. I don't use my juicer anymore after having the Nutribullet... I get the same benefits plus the fiber. (who really bakes right after juicing to use the pulp?! and the baggies of it in my freezer constantly ended up being tossed).
SO YES, I recommend this thing but don't expect it to last but so long- clean it and don't push it and maybe you'll get more time...can't take it apart by the way to clean or repack what we are guessing are the bearings...but it WILL get you on your way to better health!! ;-) Sorry so long- just want to give all the info as I read others info to make decisions yet never give back! PS- watch the amount of green leafy veggies you use- look into Oxalate levels and the dangers of ingesting too much for some people!!!! ( a huge concern in the medical field re: the green smoothie/juice trend over the past several years)
SO pardon me, but we're not all "morons" and did not misuse or abuse the product!!! And I do have one with the "new" metal plate- leaks worse than the older one but gets more use...but BOTH had the nasty drainage....also, figured out the little black/dark brown "bits" and powder that I'd notice in the base and coating the little rubber plugs when it didn't leak were the dried version of what had previously leaked out being spun out in dried form. YUM. (and yes, I looked at the rubber closely thinking it had not seated correctly and was the source of the dark residue/bits but it's perfectly intact- it's the same drainage (got it wet and looks the same!) & will come out if you spray hot water up at the connection and then shake it out hard- you will see it coming out from under the rubber "foot" piece. SO yes, we also cleaned things properly...people can be so rude on these comments ;-)... assume everyone are morons....though I can understand why I guess based on many people's ability to follow or even read the directions!! ;-)
Here is a question? the max line is there for a reason, two wear and tear is only natural with any appliance, if you use it with negligence well you will have problems I bought another after three years and i use it four times a day everyday. nothing went wrong, when the juice leaked i just got another one and i got a discount for second purchase.
Ive used mine for a year now. I did find that the older blender blades tended to leak as you pointed out but the newer one does not. They seem to have improved the blades and the seals.
Yeah it seems the newer blade is a little better
The best way to clean it is with a kitchen steamer. It liquifies all that caked on debris and you can wipe it out with some spray cleaner and a damp cloth.
Thanks! Because just this past Monday night, 08.19.2013 was the very first time. I actually watch the info commercial and is looking forward to buying it. I'll keep that in mind. It appears to be just like how any blender, that would look after MUCH re-peated use. THANKS!
We've had the same issue. Had ours about 2 months. Just took it back and exchanged for a new one. I guess it's common tho. And depending how often you use it. Everything over time wears and tears.
I bought mine six months ago and I have used it at least 150 times with no issues. Yes I am addicted to green smoothies now. I try not to run it longer than 45 seconds, and I also keep the liquid under the max. Based on the date of your video, I may have the older model that tend to wear out at the blade, so if it should burn out within the year then I am buying a Vitamix.
I started treating my NB better and have had no issues since :)
Nancy FTR I own a Vitamix and I find myself using the Nutribullet more often, I only use the Vitamix when entertaining or making a large batch of soup. For the price you really can't beat the power of the Nutribullet and people who say they burn out the motor, I seriously wonder what kind of stress they are putting their machine under, even Vitamix's have limitations, at my old work I saw them go thru 2 Vitamix's making very THICK sorbet type products, you can prevent burning out the motor by making sure you stop occasionally and shake things up. Pick up the whole unit when blending thick things (I don't recommend blending thick things) and shake the unit to make sure the blades do not get tied up and you lessen the changes of blowing out your motor... I know the Magic Bullet used to have a feature that when the motor overheated it tripped a little fuse type thing on the inside to prevent it from completely burning out, you let it rest for a little and use it and it fixed itself, not sure if the Nutribullet has this but seriously RackboyzFitness is 100% correct, the benefits outweigh these little "issues"
I agree, most of the problems are from misuse. Adding liquid is important to get things blending better. If its too thick its not going to catch the blades and your motor will just spin. If done correctly there is no reason to run the motor more than a few seconds. The NB is powerful.
I’ve had mine for about 5 years and use it two times a day to make a kale and spinach drink. Still works perfectly.
It should but you should make sure. There is a newer version out with a better blade but you have to be sure your getting the right one. I have a video on my page showing the difference in the two you may want to check out.
Yes my Bullet leaks and it is my fault. I overfill. However, I must add that the tiny lips that push down once the cup is attached have gotten stuck. I remedy with "Goo Be Gone" a hammer and some small utensil and work each up and down.
It sounds like you have the problem that I spoke about in this video. ruclips.net/video/d80rTiAkCZ8/видео.html This next video is what I did to fix it ruclips.net/video/jbE95g_9otY/видео.html
I agree with you that the good outweighs the bad. My Nutribullet also leaks, and it has gotten more noisy, but it still works great and liquefies everything I put in it. I also have a Vitamix, but I find the Nutribullet easier to use and clean. I have found that the Vitamix will also heat ingredients when run long enough to liquefy. The Nutribullet doesn't do that. I don't use the Nutribullet for grinding because I have other appliances for that. I prefer the Nutribullet for smooth drinks.
did it stop working because of the leaking? Hows the blender working out compared to the nutribullet?
You have just saved my life. I was so going to fill it past the line
+Tom Gems Just so you know the max line is for liquid not solids. The old bullet had leaking issues. The new ones are not so bad but you still have to be careful.
+THE FITNESS RADAR
Thank you so much. I appreciate how quickly you have replied and this is really useful information.
+THE FITNESS RADAR
Do you know anything about Vitamix?
It's too late for me. I already filled past the line. :(
+Wrestling Historian You poor thing! Let me assist! I will send out a search party, helicopters, ambulances, rangers, marshals, snipers, commandos, air force, space ships, nukes, sniffer dogs and garden gnomes
I just got my NB today I don't plan on over filling it because I did my research looking at reviews. Thanks so much for the advice. Best of luck #teamfit
Your welcome and thank you. Enjoy!
My daughter got one for Xmas and I have been using it and I feel a lot better. I only had issues when I overfilled it..my fault.:( Follow the directions. I find it easy to clean and it works great. Too bad it cost so much overseas it is a great item and helps you get healthy.
Im glad it works well for you, keep it going :)
plus when you over fill it you make the seals work harder. this is why they gave instructions. follow them for optimum performance. FYI, same thing will happen to your engine in your car if you over fill the oil, seals start to blow out and it will leak.
Thanks for the heads up, just got one after much investigation on the RUclips. Seems like you owned up to operator error, don't over fill and keep it clean and maybe this problem won't be an issue, at least not as soon. Someone else's experience with using something is so much more valuable than those on the spot, one time use reviews. Thanks again for taking the time to teach.
patty craig You are very welcome Patty. Best of luck with your nutribullet!
Yeah a lot of problems are from not following directions. Im glad they are gonna replace the blade for you.
you should try the nutripro 1200 by salter ... it cost me half the price of the nutribullet and seems a hell of alot sturdier .... i have had a bullet and changed to the salter nutripro and love it
i have had mine for 7 months and i never had it leak. all you gotta do is get it real tight, the only way i had mine "seep" is when i didn't tighten it had enough. and i pulse mine for seconds at at time and not have it on for a long time to kill the motor
Sounds good Derek. Thanks!
This review is exceptionally honest 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I have a problem with the inside wall. I've accidentally overfilled it or it leaked. Now the inside walls behind the clear plastic are showing signs of mold. I clean my NutriBullet very well after each use, but as far as I can tell, there's no way to reach behind that clear plastic. Do you or anyone else have any idea how get behind /inside there to clean it?
The blade components must be rinsed with warm soapy water immediately after each use. My Nutribullet 900W still in perfect clean condition, as I rinsed and wipe the motor gear area after each use. Must check the gear area after each blending to make sure no leaking. Never fill liquid above max line. Never blend more than 60 seconds.
Thought it was 20 to 25 seconds
helpful video always like a honest review about a product thx
So true, these complaints are standard with any kitchen gadget product, how lazy if you think the damn thing cleans itself lol...you want to try cleaning a juicer!! Even more nooks to clean...but the health value is amazing!!..power drinks, skin drinks, immune drinks, hulk, vitamin...everyone is unique to there requirements depending training or health regime, ...you got to wash the damn thing up yknow
Thanks. It was helpful to see others have the problem. I also love the nutribullet. One other problem I have is that when I close it too tight I can't always open it. So frustrating! And even if I don't overfill it it spills if I don't close it right enough. It's hard to know if you are at max or not when I have frozen fruit that doesn't sit flat. I clean it every time, but once it spoiled so much it went under the motor in the center. How do I clean it there??? Thanks
Hey Connie, you may be closing the lid too tight. There are videos on youtube showing how to open it up to clean it but you may not want to take the thing apart ust to wipe it out. It may be too much trouble.
Im happy your enjoying your Nutribullet. You got it for a great price! I will be getting a new one soon.
mine was leaking and I just grabbed the seals from the lids that come with the cups and switched it out and it was fun. Just needed a new rubber ring/gasket.
so I just bought one of these a little over a month ago and use it almost daily. Watching this I noticed something. Your blade is different than mine. the part where the gear is located is metal on mine. It also looks like my blades sit a little higher on mine. Do you think it is a design change to prevent this?
i only bought my second nutra bullet a few months back and barely use it once a day and i've already got the problem where the thing with the blades, moves up and down, they have another one in the box which i haven't used yet so it be interesting to see what happens to that one too. I"M disappointed, My very first one, was fantastic. OH and yes the motor is the big one, and hell it is sure noisy.
I just got mine and I love it, I suppose they have guidelines and rules for a reason, like not overfilling it. What do people expect is going to happen if you do that. And in the pamphlet you can purchase new blade bottoms. SO when it wears out get a new one. When ur breaks wear out on ur car u get new ones rt, So whats the difference, preventative maintenance for what ever it is is usually recommended lol.
Your right. I started taking better care of mine after I got a new blade and it has been working fine ever since.
I actually found that mine even if i was using it porperly and not filling more than the max line, there was actual oil leaking from the motor and I found out that this oil was going into my drink!! After I saw it did leak I filled the cup of water and than it turn the after greyish, brownish... and it seems i was not the only one when i snoop around internet. (sorry for my english im french canadian)
I agree, I have hear that even the new blades are leaking so I think for now we just have to deal with it.
I just got one and yes my blade looks like its different has reinforced bottom and a white spacer near the blade's and have never over filled......but it is the best I have had so far.
I sprung for a Vitamix 5000 when it was new (since replaced by the 5200) and it is just great. Hefty price tag, but said to be good for 25 years. Hoping so. It's 6 years old now with no problems whatsoever.
Good luck, Its too price and too big for me though
How do you clean the inside when stuff gets stuck on it like by the motor
I have the same rust power issue, also after I over filled it. So would it help to use a little motor oil like 3-1 oil on the base so it doesn't get worse? Thank you for sharing this video I have been wondering if anyone else has had that same brown powder or even goop when it's wet. I have not used mine in awhile thinking it might unhealthy to use now.
I changed my blade and no longer have that issue. I also make sure I was and dry my blade right after use
I treat mine like a baby, washed and dried by hand meticulously every time. The carbon steel shaft is rusting from water from washing. The water sits inside next to the shaft and is impossible to dry out so rust occurs. The looseness is because the shaft diameter is getting smaller. It is happening to me too. I never overfill, its a design flaw IMHO and I intend to get new blades from the company.
Yeah I have a new blade and have been taking care of it and I noticed recently that it is slowly starting to get loose. Its a new version of the blade and its still getting loose. No rust this time though. I wash it and lay it on its side so the extra water runs out and stores on the plastic part. They put an extra blade in the 900 series instead of fixing the problem smh
Im glad I could help. It has its drawbacks but its a great machine. Good luck!
It seems possible that dangerous mold and fungus can slowly accumulate in those spaces NOT accessible to cleaning on this and any similar blender product?
That's like complaining to the dishes for being dirty. If you don't clean it right away or rinse it with water if you don't have to clean then what do you expect?
Blair Button I agree.
I am considering purchasing the Nutribullet. Unsatisfied with my Jack Lalane, this review helped tremendously. Thank you for the post, putting good vs. bad in perspective. I too rush in the AM to get work.
Your welcome.Good luck!
Rackboy, thanks for sharing your experiences
groundrail You are welcome.
That blade gets loose because it's supposed to have a white plastic bushing under the blade itself. Take a look at the other blade that came with the kit. That plastic bushing may have come off into your cup, got shredded and you drank it. Bummer. I did too. I ordered a new blade assembly through the company because the loose-ness tends to make the machine VERY loud.
how about cleaning the wheel inside the NutriBullet what is the name of that will and how do you remove it so that it can be cleane
but new extractor blades. not that difficult. stuff wears out when you use it everyday. I purchased the 29 year warranty for $4 when I purchased online.
FYI - My NutriBulllet states to replace the extractor blade every 6 months; cost is just $20. I love my bullet.
I have a lot of brown liquid coming from my nutribullet? How are you positively sure its not rust? I used the nutribullet with only water and tons of brown liquid came out at the bottom near the blades and motor. I smelled it and it definitely smells like metal...so i actually think its rust...
? If you don't clean it...it'll get dirty?
Thank you! I will be getting mines today...
I bought one with the new blade with the metal plate that has 3 holes around. That was the one that leaked. I ordered another one and it came with a metal plate on the bottom of the blade but without holes. I only used it twice and was afraid to use it too many times, so I stopped again.
I have a Magic Bullet. The downside I have with it is the size of the containers is very small to make certain recipes. I find myself having to blend things separately or in parts before mixing them together again in parts to blend them again before I eventually pour everything in a container where I then have to stir and or shake to get the smoothie, etc homogenous
there was times in the morning when I would just toss it in the sink and clean it later thats why it had the stains. I take the time to clean it right away every time now and have no problems. Its a great way to get the nutrients she needs. You should try it out.
