Best portable smoothie on-the-go blender
Let’s be clear…It’s not a vita mix, but it does the job while I’m traveling and I imagine would be fantastic for someone who needs to keep one at work. Chia seeds are still a little coarse, but for the price and the size of it, fantastic job. I will probably switch to ground golden flax seeds to add a fiber/omega boost or soak flax/chia seeds before grinding. Does the job with ice, acia frozen pack, frozen chunks of fruit ( banana, avocado, berries, pineapple, mango) mixed with greens, nut butters, etc. Blends protein powders in thoroughly. I have not had to use the plunger (included), but a nice add. Love the extraction feature. Set and forget, go do something for a minute, return and your smoothie is ready to go. I add the proteins and the probiotics after blending everything else, and then blend the powders in gently on low to protect the fragile amino acids and bacteria. It’s much quieter than my Vita mix, also a plus when in a hotel room or I imagine, at work. I tried blending ahead of time and keeping smoothie with freezer pack and insulated bag. Nasty brown smoothie is thing of the past. Much nicer to drink a freshly blended one! Well done Nutribullet! The cups included and the blender jug are a bit more fragile than I would like, but just be careful not to over fill or over tighten the blade attachment and don’t drop the containers on the ceramic tile floor. Probably won’t survive that. Easy clean up by hand. I also think blades stay sharper without dishwasher use. Have had for a little more than a month. Have used at least 3X per week and performs as expected. Highly recommend as a portable smoothie machine. I have even made a frozen skinny marguerita in it. For the price, it’s exactly what I was looking for in a travel size blender. It’s a keeper!

Excellent for smoothies/iced coffee!
The Nutribullet select is a powerful little machine. I like that it has different speeds instead of just an on and off button. I chose it because I like the handles on the cups that fit it. I was worried about leaking while blending because there were several comments that says it leaks. I don't think it leaks but since you turn the cup upside down and the lid doesn't come up around it, it makes it look as if it is going to run out the bottom. I haven't had any leaking, but I tend to make sure the blade part is screwed on tight. I would suggest buying an extra cup or two because you only have one to use besides the pitcher and it always seems to be dirty.

Too loud to use
Love this for the first year. Just after that, it started to get louder. Now at the point where it is painful on the ears to use (maybe bearing gone?). Disappointed that I only got a year out of this.

Sucks
You blend 2-3 smoothies and the thing stops and blue light start blinking from over heating then it takes an hour to cool down for you to use it again. I gave mind away to the dumpster I wouldn’t recommend it at all.

Small but Powerful!
Okay, so previously I had a magic bullet, and going from 250 Wattage to 1000 is a Big jump! I watched lots of reviews before I decided on this particular blender. I've had it 2 days and I've blended a regular frozen fruit smoothie, 2 milkshakes with toppings, and a breakfast smoothie with frozen fruit, avocado, greens and nuts. Here's what I like about it: -The extract mode is great, no stopping and shaking the blender to get it all down to the bottom because this mode pulses for you. -its great for nuts and chia seeds (the crunchies) and blends it all down evenly. -Makes Thickkkk smoothies! With very little liquid and the tamper, was able to make a Very thick smoothie. Frozen yogurt consistency. -the bottom has finger grips and is so much easier to screw on and off. -The bottom has a satisfying *click* when its secured. -No more leaking! (As long as you abide by the max solids and liquids lines) -Much quieter The only thing i don't like is that it only comes with 1 cup. Other than that, lots of bang for your buck on this one!

DO NOT BUY
I’m a truck driver bought this to mix my keto broth recipe. Didn’t even get to blend, it leaked at the bottom of the seals of the mixer. How I have to set up my cooking area it leaked all over my newly bought mattress and damaged it. Thank you so much for making such a crappy product negative 5 stars if I could

Go w/ older version, new blade burns
Go with the older version, this new blade burns out. I had the original version for years and no issues. Got the newer type and within a year you get burning smells. loose metal, awful. Contacted NB and they said you need to buy a new blade every 6 months! This newer version is terrible.

Not worth it
Our blender lasted maybe four months before it sounded like a bearing failed. It has gotten extremely loud and under performs. The blade attachment also leaks every time it’s used.
