hi I'm Andrew Gebhardt for CNET I'm here with the much-hyped nutribullet pro 900 series blender now you might have seen the infomercials and the commercials for this thing which claim that it is the cornerstone of changing your life of making yourself healthier of unlocking secret nutrients in your fruit and vegetables that you didn't even know we're there even the instruction manual that comes with the book barely has any instructions in it instead it focuses on the blight of heart disease in America and what happens when we don't take the time to properly chew what we eat rest assured nothing about this machine is inherently magic I discussed this when reviewing the Nutri ninja which has similar claims all it does is finely slice up the seeds and stems of fruit and vegetables to include the pulp in your smoothie drink however it actually proves somewhat competent as a convenient and easy to use single serve blender it comes with a variety of cups lids blades all of which fit one into the other using the blender as a simple as attaching the blades putting it on the machine and you can press down for pulse or press and turn to keep the blender on Consumer Reports had a test where this version cracked after numerous ice tests designed to simulate long-term wear and tear we didn't see that but it's definitely something you should look into when you're considering the purchase of this blender in our tests not only was it easy to use but it made smoothies well it even made almond butter well the 900 watt version of the nutribullet also costs one hundred and thirty dollars which is $40 more than the similarly powered nutri ninja this guy does do a little bit better on the multitasking but the Nutri ninja actually edges it slightly on the basics we found that this was actually a pretty solid machine but it's stuck in the ground between a discount machine like the $40 Hamilton Beach stay or go or the $90 nutri ninja and a more powerful machine like the 260 dollar ninja Ultima so the nutribullet performs well enough to be worth your consideration but in terms of value I would recommend the Nutri ninja over for CNET with the nutribullet I'm Andrew Kepner
