Does the regular magic bullet make smoothies and juice? Or only the micrabullet makes juice?

Yes the Bullet will pretty much handle just about anything put into it. I've used it to blend soups, crush ice, make smoothies etc, and it works very well.

It is better than a juicer. It uses the whole fruit or vegetable and gives all the fiber, vitamins and minerals available. I retired my juicer once the Blendtec came into my home.

I have used both. Here are the difference I have seen 1. Nutribullet is BPA free 2. Nutribullet has a stronger motor. 3. Nutribullet has wider containers. 4. The Nutribullet cost two to three times as much. While I don't know that the Magic Bullet (MB) has BPA containing plastic, I have noticed that the Nutri-bullet (NB) specifies BPA free and the MB does not specifically say this. The NB comes in two different motor strengths 600 watt and 900 watt. The MB comes in 300 watts. Also the MB instructions specifically says do not run it for more than 60 seconds continuously or you may damage the motor. I did not see that warning in the NB instructions. The seemly most minor (but actually most important) difference is the width of the containers. The wider container in the NB means that you don't have to shake adjust or manually stir frozen fruit in the blender to get it to fully blend. Because it is a little wider you just leave it on the counter and let it go. In 15-40 seconds, your drink or shake is fully blended. You almost never have it stir it manually. The Nutribullet does cost significantly more. You will have to determine if the difference it worth it. If you use it daily like I do, you will wish you had bought the NB. If you don't use it more than once or twice a week, a regular blender may work better for you. I like using frozen fruit because this make the drink thick like a shake or malt instead of like a drink. (Use a wide straw with mine!!)

Yes, the insert does come out. However, you should know that the juicer doesn't work, at all. The pitcher, on the other hand, is very useful. It turns your bullet into a larger blender if you want to make more than one smoothie at a time. I love my bullet, but it cannot make juice. The breville juicer is good for a cheap juicer, if that's what you're looking for. Or if you want the best juice you've ever tasted: the omega cold press.

I've had both, I would suggest the Ninja as it is more durable. My Nutribullet broke after 5 uses. I can mix up a smoothie/juice/etc in my Ninja and pour it into a reusable cup. But I love my Ninja.

It does not make juice, it makes very smooth pulp. We use carrots daily as part of our smoothie blend. We like the smoothie rather than juice as it has the full complement of vitamins and minerals. A juicer will throw off the pulp.

I have a Vitamix and a Nutri-Bullet, The Nutri-Bullet smoothies are almost as smooth as the ones from the Vitamix.However the vita mix will do a lot more, like make soup, blend dough for pizza and a list of other things the Nutri-Bullet won't do. But the Vitamix is alot more expensive than the Nutri-Bullet, so if what you want to do is make smothies go with the bullet, if you want to do other things then the Vitamix is a good investment. FYI, Qvc.com has the Vitamix on easy payments.

No, they are different. My understanding is the Nutribullet has a more powerful motor, and can grind up seeds in a smoothie. I grind any seeds separately (in a coffee grinder) before putting into my Magic bullet, (which has about half the power of the Nutri).

One item of note: the size of the "bullet" containers. The Nutri is 24 and 18 oz - whereas the Ninja's is 16 oz. To me this does make a difference. I like adding a little more liquid to make sure I can micro pulverize, and the Nutribullet allows that. The 24 oz also allows for two smaller smoothies...not going to happen with the Ninja.

Not sure but my guess is no....this blade attaches to individual cups for the Magic Bullet, I don't think it will work on a blender.

This ninja blender is amazing with anything. I make a smoothy every morning from frozen fruits and vegetables and there are no chunks in my smoothies! I use the bullet for small amounts and the traditional blender for larger consumption. The mixer is also amazing, great for cookie dough and cake batter.

Like all juicers, the Juice Bullet does have some waste left over. It is the dry fibrous material of the fruits and veggies and I simply put it in my compost pile. Some machines blend the entire fruit, but that is really a different product.

No pulp!No "extra" attachment to clean for the pulp either as the blades just pulverize even the toughest fibers. I've had my Bullet for a month now and put it through the test ... Large kale, pineapple , nuts all get ground to extra fine drinkibility! Buy it and love it ;)

howdy Sandra,i don't own a nutri bullet, just a magic bullet. however, the comment by J. Ford is quite correct. the only significant differences are price [nutri > magic] and wattage/power/force [nutri > magic]. so if you are only going to use it for fruits and veggies, the magic is good enuf. also, if you are unsure you will really make use of the device, the cheaper one is a good way to get a start without committing too much moolah. [*grin*] take care,lee

This is a cbopprr only. I highly recommend the Nutri Bullet for smoothies. We use ours eveyday. Becsuse of how it emulsifies, it works as good as our Vitamix and so much easier to clean for daily use.

I have an original magic bullet. I am not aware of any other size such as mini--I thought they were only one size. I do not have a nutrabullet if that is what you are thinking of.
