The NutriBullet Flip is an great product that has revolutionized the blending and juicing experience. Its compact and efficient design makes it easy to use and perfect for those on-the-go. It has the ability to create smoothies, juices, and more with ease. The Flip also comes with a convenient travel lid making it easy to take it wherever you go. Personally, I like to use the blade cover with the lid as a pre workout container when I go to the gym. Overall, I like the design and how easy jt is to clean after your done. I would recommend hand washing to avoid any damage to the blades. Although I would not consider this to be a necessity, it is an excellent product if you enjoy making your own smoothies and juices.
