Do you have one? What are the pros and cons? Any reason to get one if I have a blender?

I edited to change food processor to blender. I want to know whether I will use it once/twice and then stick it in the back of my cabinet, or if I will keep using the bullet. My family does enjoy fruit smoothies.

A blender is a lot of work to clean every day. I bought a knock off Magic Bullet years ago and still use it often; you can also blend pesto or nuts or even coffee in it. The Nutri bullet has a stronger motor so it's more for hard veggies like carrots and kale.

It blends ok, but not as well as a vitamix. a vitamix will make smooth drinks, pulverizes completely.

A Vitamix costs a week's salary. I got our Bullet for under $60.

cm, I don't know about this particular blender, but it shouldn't be too much work to clean. fill it partially with water and a little dish soap, and blend. I've never had a problem cleaning any blender that way.

I recently bought a real small, handy Hamilton Beach for $24. It makes excellent smoothies in a second. Just a few pulses. Cleans easily and takes very little space, so I'm never lazy to take it out.
