NutriBullet Pro 900

Alright, so let's talk about the NutriBullet Pro 900. This thing is a beast when it comes to blending, and I'm not just saying that. With its 900-watt motor, it can handle just about anything you throw in there — nuts, seeds, frozen fruits, you name it. The power is definitely its main selling point, and it makes a noticeable difference compared to those weaker blenders that struggle with tougher ingredients.

Now, while it's powerful, it isn’t exactly the quietest kitchen gadget you'll own. You might want to warn your roommates before firing it up at 6 AM. It's loud, like kind of startling if you're not ready for it. But hey, that's the cost of having such a strong motor. If you can deal with the noise, then you're golden, but it's something to keep in mind if you're sound-sensitive or live in a place with paper-thin walls.

Moving on to cleanup, it’s pretty straightforward. The cups and blades are dishwasher safe, which is a big win in my book because who loves hand washing, right? However, the blades can be a bit of a pain to clean manually. They catch food particles around the edges, so if you're not using a dishwasher, you might have to give it a good scrub. Just be careful with those blades; they're sharp.

One thing that doesn't sit well with me is the durability of the cups. They’re made of plastic, which is fine, but they can get scratched up over time, especially if you’re blending stuff with a lot of ice or seeds. They hold up, but they don't look as fresh after a few months. It's not a deal-breaker, but if you're someone who cares about aesthetics and longevity, it's worth considering.

Overall, the NutriBullet Pro 900 is a solid choice if you need something that can handle the heavy lifting of daily smoothies or protein shakes. It's powerful, easy to clean, and pretty straightforward to use. Just be ready for the noise and maybe consider investing in some earplugs if you're an early riser. It gets the job done well, but like anything, it has its quirks. If you can live with those, it’s a handy tool to have around.
