It's got a lot more power than the earlier Magic Bullet. I've lost quite a bit of weight with the convenient Nutribullet smoothies I make (often just spinach and pear or kefir and banana with supplements). I'd had a Campion but clean-up was a chore and so much of the good in organic veg.s and fruit was lost in the eliminated skin. I've found that it's good to take the 'max fill' line very seriously or you will get overflow. If that happens, immediately turn just the power base upside down and rap it sharply over a towel so whatever liquid escaped doesn't run down into the motor area. Yes, it IS hard to unscrew, especially when hands are stiff in the morning. I put a broad elastic band around the large cup and that gives me a better grip when unscrewing the blade-top or the plastic rim/handle piece. A couple of friends with big Vitamixes now prefer the simple convenience of their Nutribullets. I bought three for family members this Christmas. One takes his to work! (Wish I had stock in the company!) You're right about not minding if they don't last as long as the pricier blenders. Their price makes replacement in a couple years not so very odious. We're on the road a lot in our Airstream and will love the compact size. Enjoy!

The doctor asked me if I thought I could lose a little weight, so I made her "tell me I had to lose some." She told me about her Magic Bullet blender. On the way home from the appointment, I stopped to buy a NutriBullet at Bed Bath, and Beyond ($80 if you use a 20% off coupon.) I stopped at Trader Joe's and got smoothie ingredients.
