Phyl - get yourself a Thermomix and you won't need any other gadget in your kitchen

Phyl, I personally think it just another fad - truth is that it is just anoither blender with higher rotation speed. To my mind, all you are doing is pulping everything to make it easier to swallow. If we eat nuts and seeds etc, it is fairly uncommon to see much of it pass through us and be "wasted'. Rely on that old axiom - "trust your gut"

I think that all they hype about creating "super foods" is just that - commercial hype to prompt you to buy the product. I had an old friend that used to laugh at people buying pop-corn makers, egg poachers, deep fryers et.c, etc. - he used to say "all you need is a pot" and really, he was quite right. Still, to each their own......we all spend our money as we please and that is precisely as it should be.

Seggie. There is a Thermomix in our family and it does make great dips and fabulous soups. Easier though for me to buy a tin of good quality soup or on the odd occasion, the packet of Continental. When I'm 'gifted' with Thermo.cooked fruits, they are far too mushy for my liking but not for me to say no. I mix them with vanilla icecream, use an icecream cone and use Choc.Freeze on top. Yum.

Phyl, I looked at a few sites, and I have to agree with Kfchugo.   There are so many blenders on the market, and Nutribullet and Ninja are just spending the most on advertising.

Just as a matter of interest, I can't help wondering what it costs for the weeks and weeks of advertising on the shopping channels.

Just think, we could all have perfect lives if we bought a Shark vac or  a steam cleaner whose name escapes me, all the skin care products and clothes on TVSN, the modern pressure cooker flogged by the American Chef, the stone frypans from two or three different companies, etc etc.    LOL  that's a joke.

By the way has anyone noticed they flog all this stuff on the shopping channels, with a 'special offer for the viewers', which is only a test run... and then a few months later, they're being pushed out the door of the chain stores at half the price?

So, Phyl, my advice, hang on for a while and then look out for  what you want at Harris Scarfe or any of the big stores.

I saw the full set of Stonedine at Harris Scarfe for half price a few months ago.

I do not think Nutribullet does soup and stew.

I think Viv might have a Thermomix, the one Solomon suggests and that is really very expensive - but if it is any better than Kogan Soupmaker if is hard to tell.

I've fot a magic Bullet which I've had for 5 years and am very happy with it - have had to replace the seals. My neighbour has a George Foreman Mix&Go bought from Target under $40 and it also liquifies all fruit an vegetables ....has 12 month warranty and has a recipe booklet

I have bought some very good specials at Harris Skarfe, Kody, with recently when my Kenwood very sadly completely "gave up the ghost" we looked at Harris Skarfe as it is in our hometown of Traralgon, and was thrilled to see a Russel Hobbs mixer and blender (all in one) for $249 against their real price of $549 and I love it. Actually was in there this morn. and the price is now back up to $549.

 er I like being a member of TVSN but do have a lot of stuff we really do not use or need. I am turning over a new leaf after the bullet, lol but we do still love our big massage chair and running machine and vibration platform and a few other things we bought there.

As kfc said, we all get our kicks from spending our hard earned money how we choose and we have fun and love our life.

I have not used my Magic Bullet much Abby (bad me) and I have had mine for a few years but the NUTRiBULLET is different as you can put seeds and stems etc. into it and then add it all to soups casseroles etc and also drink as many veges as wanted as a drink as you add some water.

600 is a good speed. We always look at Big W's T.V. offers and the goods are the same price as T.V. but less the postage.

I have used my big Breville Juicer for years but abhor the waste of all the fibre and the work taking it all apart for cleaning, so thought the NUTRiBULLET might just be "The Bees Knees" (and yes as you are all saying) maybe/probably a waste of space and money.

Thanks folks opinions are great.

Phyl :)

Do not know how much the Nutribullet is on the TV but I got this in the email today

Phyl, when you eventually get your Nutribullet, dont forget to keep us informed if you and Peter are "jumping out of your skins" with good health - who knows, I might even buy one.

Saw an interesting quote today "good health is just the slowest possible rate at which one can die". :)

Absolutely will do kfc :) If you have seen the ad. for it, it really does seem amazing :)

Who knows just what could happen for us after using the

NUTRiBULLET

Phyl, Have you purchased a Nutri Bullet yet ???  I want something for processing peanuts and wondered how good it was.

This is what CHOICE had to say

http://www.choice.com.au/reviews-and-tests/household/kitchen/benchtop-appliances/nutribullet-review.aspx

There is a 900w now Sandi which if I was buying the NutriBullet I would go for, if wanting to crunch nuts. The jury is still out for me whether it is safe or not - seems it would have to be.

Tomorrow Harris Scarffe has the "Ninja" 700w on good special (where we got the great deal on the Russell Hobs mixer and blender. I think the blender on this is fine for what I want, BUT still weighing up spending just $99 to buy the Ninja which is apparently normally around $250.

Decisions decisions. ) Farmers Market here Sat. morn. good fun.

I purchased the Nutribullet about a month ago on the recommendation of a friend.

Have seen all the TV ads on it.

Please, please, when you purchase any appliance DO read the instructions before use.

I noticed in one review on line that someone did not put any water in and wondered why she had problems.  You  MUST put liquid in whether it be water or milk or whatever...I am sure most of the ladies in here would have the sense to do that anyway.

Also make sure you have the contained screwed on tightly before you place it on the blades.  If you dont do this you will get liquid into the motor.  I am very, very careful about  this and I have had no problems .

I use it once a day and use kale or spinach from the garden and mix and match with other veges and fruit etc.   Heaps of recipe ideas in the books which come with it.

Yes, it is expensive and maybe there are other things on the market such as the Ninja.

I have two blenders and a food processor and could not get the liquididation that I am getting with the Nutribullet.

Also there is another blade that comes with it which is for chopping up nuts etc.

But dont let me talk you into buying one...do your own research and make up your own minds girls :)

I bought a Nutri Bullet and yes it does what it says --and is easy to clean, however I did not like the texture of the "smoothies" felt like a fine sand in my mouth,  my  Son and other friends that have it and use it and love it.  I prefer to use the "juicer" as it is has no residue, ( so you do throw away the fibre)
