Lindor Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm thinking about buying one. Does anyone have one? Are they easy to use and worth the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 My wife just bought the cheap version from Big-W or K-Mart. Seems to do the same job but costs a lot less. Can't be bothered with that stuff myself, just buy a carton of orange juice and not have yet another gadget sat round the kitchen top to eventually get stored in a corner of a cupboard with all the other gadgets.

Is it a Magic Bullet Paul? I was looking at one of those in Target yesterday. I made a green smoothie earlier, spinach pineapple mango and banana. Lovely, but hard work with a hand blender!

She says it was pretty cheap but I never know when she's just telling me that.:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moobobs Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 We have one! They are great, we do smoothies, milkshakes, all sorts! Not sure what the cheaper versions are like but i can't imagine them to be that much different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Keeneyboy Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 We have the Sunbeam. It's used by all the family every single day. I use frozen berries which whizz up great as well as a ton of fresh fruit and veg from the markets. I also add granola and seeds. Definitely a great buy and we all eat much healthier for having one.

Marisawright Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm thinking about buying one. Does anyone have one? Are they easy to use and worth the money? It's all a con. There is no magic way of breaking down foods to release extra nutrients - that's what your stomach does! What it can do is pulverise pips and skin which you wouldn't normally eat, but that's about the extent of it. There are several other juicers which do that.

Skani Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm thinking about buying one. Does anyone have one? Are they easy to use and worth the money? I had no idea what a NutriBullet was - obviously don't watch enough television :wink: - but the Australian Consumers' Association has tested it and done a review on their online Choice website. http://www.choice.com.au/reviews-and-tests/household/kitchen/benchtop-appliances/nutribullet-review.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmjg Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 We have the aldi blitzer, at $16.99 it does a great job blending all the frozen fruit, yoghurt and oats the oh uses for her breakfast concoctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacaranda Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ok so whats the diff between actually eating the fruit you'd put into a blender than blending it,nutritionally wise I mean?:smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisawright Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ok so whats the diff between actually eating the fruit you'd put into a blender than blending it,nutritionally wise I mean?:smile: Nothing, except that the Nutribullet can smash the pips and skin as well, which could mean you get a bit extra. However there is a big difference, because you need so much fruit to make one drink that fruit juice and smoothies often have more calories than a meal. So if you're not drinking them as a meal substitute, they're going to make you fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Like a laptop?:eek:lol Not a laptop or an ipad. Sometimes I really regret buying my wife an ipad.:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docboat Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 we have one and love it. Compared to the other blaster, the contents are really broken down. Good for use if you are moving to a healthier lifestyle. If you just want to make an occasional smoothy, or are not too bothered about your health, buy a cheap blaster.

CaptainC Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I've got a similar one. I think it's great. It's not just for smoothies etc, you can use it for making soups and pretty much anything that you would normally blend. So easy to use and clean, I even made frozen margaritas with it because it's powerful enough to crush ice if you use a bit of water and add the ice gradually..

nikkib Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I've got one, bought in the UK, just arrived yesterday with the rest of our stuff. I love mine and have missed it. Hand blenders do not do the same job, leaves lumps and bits. The magic bullet is the cheaper version. Not sure how much there are in Oz, but seen the ads!
