NutriBulletRx N17-1001 Blender, Black

This is the most powerful blender and is easy to use. Does from ice cubes to simple soft foods.

One thing is sure.... it does have a high grinding power. The sound tells you it's a beast .. grinds in seconds.

The NutriBullet Rx blender has truly surpassed my expectations with its exceptional engineering, particularly the steel assembly that not only guarantees durability but also maximizes the full potential of its impressive 1700 watts of power. The robust construction of the blades ensures efficient blending of even the toughest ingredients, turning the NutriBullet Rx into a powerhouse in the kitchen. The added heating function is a game-changer, allowing me to effortlessly transition from smoothies to soups and sauces with the same appliance. This versatility has made me feel like an expert soup and saucier chef, all thanks to the NutriBullet Rx.Moreover, the attention to detail in the design is evident in every component. All the parts are well-built, and cleaning is a breeze. The sturdiness of the blade, a notable improvement from previous NutriBullet models, adds an extra layer of confidence in its longevity. The NutriBullet Rx is a top-tier blender that not only meets but exceeds the demands of a busy kitchen. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a reliable, powerful, and versatile blender that truly stands the test of time.

I use a wheelchair and have limited hand function, so dropping things is a real problem. I recently started drinking daily harvest smoothies, which come with all the ingredients already cut up, but everything is frozen and some flavors have nuts. My small blender just couldn’t handle it and I have had difficulty managing larger blenders physically in the past.A friend recommended this model, so I decided to give it a try. It works great! it has enough power to handle the frozen ingredients and I really like the way it blends for one minute at a time. There is a power button on the side that you use to put it into standby mode, and that was manageable for me. After that, just putting the pitcher on the motor will start the cycle, and lifting it off will stop it again. That was easier than I expected it to be.The attached handle is a nice size and works well, so I don’t worry about dropping it. And the pitcher pours nicely.I am using this almost every day, and I’m very pleased with it. I haven’t tried it with any hot ingredients, but I got it to manage smoothies with frozen ingredients and it does a good job of that.

We very much like this blender as it meets our specific needs very well, much better than a large blender, a glass blender, or a less powerful blender of any kind. Since we are two adult smoothie-lovers who like large smoothies daily, the provided 3-cup smoothie cups with drinking lids that can be closed after each sip easily are perfect for us. It's so much easier and faster to get great nutrition from a super fast and easy smoothie than to cut up everything and eat each chunk and leaf one by one.Also, we are super excited about using the smoothie bowl maker to make almond butter, tahini (I hope), hummus, guacamole, and other thick things like that. We haven't done it yet, but we're foodie types with tons of spices and other healthy ingredients on hand, so this is a great part of this blender.Now, I want to say that I went back and forth about whether to get a large glass blender as I'd had before or whether to get this BPA-free plastic individual smoothie cup blender with the nut butter cup included. Because the glass jar on our previous blender was so heavy and yet the jar wasn't quite big enough for us each to get a large smoothie, and because we really only used it for smoothies, it made far more sense for us to get this blender. As a professional writer, my hands have been overused, so avoiding the heavy, full glass jar is great. Having said that, the smoothie cups are so large that we can actually use only one of them and then pour nice servings for each or pour out half for each and then add some juice or plant milk. So, it's really perfect for us in terms of the capabilities and provided containers.We're very happy we bought it, but there are two downsides to be managed:1) The powerful motor is loud no matter what you make. This is typical of strong motors. Most blenders do not have noise shields though some are better sound insulated. I strongly recommend that everyone in the vicinity uses well-fitting earplugs. I got some soft ones that can be rolled into a small log and placed in m petite ear canals before expanding to reduce sound by 32db. I keep them in the drawer below the blender and either shut my son's door or make sure he has his noise-cancelling earbuds in or both. Again, this is not unique among blenders. The programs don't need any attention, so you can just push one button and walk away for the minute it takes to do it's job. It's not a big deal.2) The powerful motor does produce heat as is true for other powerful motors. If you're going to use the extraction mode for a large smoothie without a lot of frozen items on a hot day, the tabs on the smoothie cup might soften due to the heat. It's not hot to the touch, mind you. But, I would take care in that instance to use a lot of frozen items and chill the liquid and other items if the kitchen is hot. Also, make sure there is plenty of ventilation around the blender to allow it to spit out the warm air and bring cooler air in. If you place this on a clean, dry counter on an island with a fan or breeze blowing on it and use plenty of very cold and frozen items, you should be fine. Just know that with any powerful blender (or juicer), the food will warm up due to the power of the motor. So, start with the items altogether being colder than what you want the final item to be. Another choice would be to peel the fruit, use less hard fruit unpeeled fruit, use more liquid and less solid food or maybe do this in a cold room.Here are a couple of additional tips:1) Rinse out the smoothie cups, lids, and blades immediately after use. If there isn't any fat in the smoothies, they should rinse to look clean. Leaving them longer or letting the residue dry on means you'll have to use a sponge or cloth to remove the bits on the inside. You'll still want to use dish soap, but rinsing immediately is very easy and fast.2) After carefully washing the sharp blade assembly holding it in one hand and rinsing under lukewarm water, only using a sponge on a stick or soft brush if needed, gently shake off excess water and place at an angle upside down inside a clean 24 oz. yogurt container without the lid. That will allow the blades to drip dry and get ventilation to complete drying. Never toss it in the sink with other dirty dishes as the blades are sharp. I'd definitely keep this locked away from small children and supervise/assist older children until they are reliably safe with the blades. That's true for any blender blade aIf somehow the blender was quieter and didn't warm the ingredients noticeably, I'd give this five stars. That's a little bit unfair as the power of the motor and the price I paid ($89) was favorable compared to many other options. You can't really get a quiet, powerful blender without dealing with noise. Also, I haven't experienced the softening of the smoothie cup tabs except when using the longer extraction program to make smoothies from hard fruits with tough skins along with other ingredients. I suspect that most people will never encounter this concern, so it wouldn't be fair to really consider that a fault. I may be stretching the capabilities a little. You can't get all the features of glass in plastic, and I needed less weight in the container. So, I'm content so long as I can use a workaround such as using the shorter smoothie program, using more cold and frozen ingredients, providing more ventilation, etc. I consider this a problem I can probably avoid.Overall, we are very happy with the blender. I don't recommend this or other powerful blenders unless you use ear protection of some kind, though.

Had a Nutri Bullet that decided to stop working. Had it for a few years and got good use out of it. We wanted something that was more powerful, that would pulverize the stuff we would be putting inside like ginger root, whole lemons etc. Well this absolutely worked! No bits and pieces, smooth as can be. Now it is pretty big, but love all the accessories it came with and I hope to get creative and make some soups etc. I would recommend this model. I did take the additional warranty just in case!
