    I also have the Nutri Bullet.
    I love it.
    What is wrong with 32 oz?

    We got an Oster, which we like. Yes, its gigantic. And My husband actually uses it way more than I. It came with a glass container to put all that excess in, so it doesn't get yucky or wasted. But making smaller batches, while requiring the same amount of cleaning of the blender, seems do-able.
    [I]HW: 240 lbs SW: 199 lbs GW: 140 lbs

    1 MO = 167.0 2 MO = 156.4 3 MO = 148.4 4 MO = 140.6
    5 M) = 136.0 6 MO = 130.0
    1 YR = 122.0 2 YR = 140.00 2.5 YR = 139
    Happy with my weight; happy with my size; over-the-moon with my health!

    I bought one and rarely used it. Just ate soft foods. The idea of putting a meal in a blender disgusts me! The other thing I never used was the food scale I bought.

    I do use the blender now when cooking, or grinding coffee beans, so it wasn't a total waste of money. And the food scale I use to weigh mail for postage.

    Same! I've only ever used my vitamix for protein shakes and salad dressings :-)

    The blender was a waste for me - maybe used it 3 times and it's collecting dust. I have both a full size one and the bullet

    But I still have no clue what the problem is....
    Too big?
    Too small?

    Of course we can all tell you what we have or don't have and use or don't use, but it would be helpful, if we knew what it is you want to know.

    I only used my blender a little bit. Not that you really need it. I have a cheapo one and it worked fine. I also have a Pampered Chef manual food processer and that would mush stuff up, too. Didn't use it much, though.
