Thanks Lena for your post. I thought about getting the Nutribullet but didn’t want another appliance just sitting on the shelf. I have an Omega juicer (my third). It is not super easy to clean, some of the veggie pulp sticks to the inside bowl after washing and also it doesn’t dry properly when washed, so you have to manually dry with a cloth. In addition the blade gets discolored easily and doesn’t really clean back to original stainless steel shine. However it makes a nice glass of veg juice. But now after reading about your experience I’m going to get the Nutribullet b/c it’s probably good to get some of the pulp in your drink and more importantly, the easier to clean, the more people will use it.

Even with feeding the pulp through several times, I know there was loss of nutrients by that method. Unable to afford a Vitamix, I'm making smoothies and juices with my Nutribullet (not to be confused with less powerful MagicBullet) and have increased my organic raw-veggie/fruit intake to a much higher level. The convenience of this helped compliance. Compliance is a factor to be considered. The Champion was such a pain to clean that it languished on my counter, unused, a lot. The Nutribullet gets used several times a day. Even some of my Vitamix friends prefer the Nutribullet for easy use. No, I don't have any commercial, vested interest in this product and I don't know how durable it will be, long-term, but it's performed well for almost 8 months.

Is there any consensus in the blender versus juicing debate, wrt which one (a) damages nutrients less and (b) which results in the most absorb-able output? I read lots of claims both ways but I wonder if there is any real evidence supporting any of the claims? It seems logical to me that both do about the same amount of "damage" to the food, even the expensive juicers like a Norwalk, no? -- Alan Jones "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
