LOL, I'm poster 21:01 and I'm the same. Always looking for ways to get new appliances. For what it's worth, I have had both and my nutribullet is now dead. I also own a juicer that I never use. And I usually start on a green juice fad that lasts about a week starting in Jan. and then making it gets old pretty quick. I never seem to have the veggies that I need or they have gone bad.

OP here, thank you everyone!! This is the reality check I needed. I'm kind of a countertop appliance junkie and I knew I really didn't need a NB but they're so cool looking, I was trying to convince myself. You are all the voices of reason that I needed to hear.

Don't buy a nutribullet. The blade rusts quickly and you end up wondering if you've been drinking small amounts of rust! There are lots of posts about this online. Nutribullet IS NOT a juicer.
The Vitamix crushes raspberry seeds. Enough said!

OP, the Vitamix is not a juicer but it will blend better than the Nutribullet. You need to buy a nut milk bag, run the juice through there to get rid of the sludge. Google it. Amazon sells them so does Whole Foods, Moms, etc. Get the larger size one.

Nutribullet says it juices but it's really more for smoothies. The few times I tried to juice I ended up with green sludge.

I do love it for smoothies -- great machine.

Are Nutribullet and Vitamix basically the same then?

If you want a juicer, get a juicer, not a crappier blender. Why does this even need to be said?

Nutribullet doesn't juice--you need a juicer. No reason to get a nutribullet if you have a vitamix. Really.

Don't believe that part of the infomercials! The Nutribullet will do a worse job than the Vitamix. Neither the Vitamix nor the Nutribullet is a juice extractor, which means that they do not remove the fiber. With a blender, if you want a juice there are three things you can do:
-Use juicy ingredients like grapes.
-Add some liquid (water, juice, or milk).
-Blend and then strain. (For example, check out this Vitamix carrot juice: http://joyofblending.com/vitamix-carrot-juice-100-undiluted/ )

OP here. I make great smoothies in the vitamix but when I tried a few times to juice, it didn't blend things at all. I put in a little water and then veggies/fruit, and it was a gloppy mess. In the nutribullet infomercials it looks like they're basically using the NB like a juicer and it produces juice, not thick glop. But I'm not sure whether to believe it or not.

Why can't you juice with your Vitamix? I thought it could turn everything into juice.

OP, I need more info!! Have been considering a refurb vitamix but the nutrbullet is so much cheaper

i just want to make vegetable smoothies, with kale that gets all the way pureed.

why do you want a nutribullet instead of a vitamix?

The subject line says it all. Amazon has nutribullet Pro 900 for sale for $100 and I'm so tempted. I can't really juice with my vitamix and I don't know if the nutribullet is better for that or if I'm just getting sucked in by the infomercials. Anyone here have both and can advise me? Thanks in advance!
