Short Answer: NO
Long Answer: It Depends
Making the choice to buy the NutriBullet over other blenders is one that anyone should research. Many of the people that go out and buy the NutriBullet do so because they watch the infomercial and are amazed at what he or she saw. In reality, the NutriBullet is not the world's greatest blender.
Factor 1: Frequency of Use
If you are 100% sure you will be using the NutriBullet everyday or at least 3 times per week, the NutriBullet is not for you. This blender is not designed for heavy and frequent use. Many on the internet post problems they run into with the NutriBullet because they use it so often.
If you are going to just use the NutriBullet less than 50 times a year, this will be a great blender for you to buy. If you are looking for a blender that works well as both a blender and a food processor for light blending jobs, the NutriBullet would also be a good match.
Factor 2: Price
Choosing a blender for less than $100 can be a difficult task. The NutriBullet hovers right on the border between $95 and $100, making it a very affordable choice for anyone in the blending market. However, I personally recommend the Oster 7 Speed Blender
as the best blender for less than $100. With the Oster, you will actually save $35 instead of buying the NutriBullet. Between the Oster and the NutriBullet, I find the blending abilities of both blenders very similar.
If you can spend more than $100, I would recommend purchasing the big brother to the NutriBullet, the NutriBullet Pro 900 Series. The NutriBullet 900 corrects many of the issues of the NutriBullet, namely by offering higher blending speeds, a more durable product, and larger blending containers. You will only end up having to spend about $50 for a significant upgrade.
Factor 3: Trust
The NutriBullet company is not known for being the most customer friendly planet in the world. While a 1 year warranty is supposedly offered with the NutriBullet, you will have to pay money to have the machine shipped and repaired should anything go wrong in this 1 year. Along with that, it is notoriously difficult to even get into contact with the appropriate customer service representatives.
At the end of the day, any blender costing less than $100 will have less than stellar customer service. The Oster 7 Speed Blender has been received much better than the NutriBullet with far less complaints about its lifespan when compared to the NutriBullet. In my opinion, the only sure bet is to go with a new Vitamix model. However, Vitamix blenders run closer to $400 which is a huge jump in spending.
Overall
The NutriBullet is designed for a specific demographic. If you are looking for a blender you are planning to use occassionaly to make fruit smoothies and operate as a food processor, the Ninja will serve you well. I think the best bet is to end up spending more money to purchase a better blender, whether it be the NutriBullet 900 or a Vitamix Series Blender.
