I just switched over from a Nutribullet and have been wanting to get a Vitamix for a while. I jus had not done so because it is hard to beat the being able to blend a smoothie in a personal container. I made he switch because I saw that Vitamix now has the same capability, but was not impressed. Compared to the Nutribullet, I can only fit a limited amount of ingredients, the ingredients get stuck at the bottom do to the smaller circumference, and I have had instances where I am literally left with chunks of fruit. Other features I prefer on the Nutribullet is being able to drink directly from the cup with the screw on rings and not needing a straw or a lid. Nutribullet also had a stainless steel option at a decent price. The one thing I do like is that it has a much less chance of leaking.
