ninja mega kitchen system...in, shred emulsifier out

Ninja Mega Kitchen System 

…the Shred died. Thankfully, the warranty will offset the cost of the new beast. Tried and tested brand, Ninja delivers dependability! A current owner of the Ninja Kitchen Prep, I sided with Ninja. Thus far, it has not disappointed. It costs about $100 more the Shred. It does not make soup.

Who cares?

The power and the dependability match it to the Shred. It actually out foxes the Shred because it delivers the consistency of blade action as the Kitchen Prep. That means, no tamper required. The power of the blade action literally washes down the sides of the pitcher.

Here are the specs...

a base that houses a 2HP 1500 watt motor

72 oz pitcher with lid

6 in blade

1 64 oz bowl with lid

4 in blade

4 in dough hook

2 single serve cups with lids

1 single serve blade set

Also included are manuals, prep books, and of course a quick start guide. 

The Shred just could not handle the demand required.  I need 2 smoothies per day. The motor is very likely to live 100 years. Unfortunately, the blade housing just could not match the motor's precision. 

nutribulletrx fail

I decided to try the NutriBullet Rx. In less than four hours of its residency, I am sorry to say it will be returned for a refund. The screw snapped off at the bolt (blade) and it took me a minute to realize trouble was afoot. I gently transferred the contents of this delicious smoothie into my Beast, also known as the Shred Emulsifier.

After this dilemma I have come to know that the blade must be replaced every six months. I don't think so. I would rather invest in another 150/Shred Emulsifier or simply purchase a Vitamix than order blades, considering my daily usage.

There are also numerous complaints of material at the blade leaking into the smoothie, i.e. black goo and rust...(yuck).

I have tested this product. And it is a fail for the cost. I'm happy despite this inconvenience, simply because at least I know the Shred is one helluva investment and worth its weight and sound. But it is a sad day for NutriBullet Rx. I cannot support this product or offer positive review.

product review: shred emulsifier

I call it the budget friendly Vitamaster. It’s a product endorsed by Dr. Ian Smith and Kimberley Locke. For those that do not know him, he’s a health and wellness psychologist who was the featured nutritionist from the show Celebrity Fit Club. He’s an author and is often a guest on many shows: Dr. Oz, The Doctors, Rachel Ray, etc. If you do not know Kim, she is a former contestant of American Idol "Band of Gold" notoriety and of course Celebrity Fit Club.

Enough plug-ins, here we go!

After a week of struggle with UPS and the delivery, it finally arrived. Opening the box was an adventure. This bad boy is huge! The base is enormous. The contents include: owner’s manual, quick start guide to ‘slim down’, and a recipe book.

If it can make a smoothie, fine and delicate it’s a winner for me! Let’s go! It has a powerful motor housed in the base. It's as loud as a Mack Truck, but it's a beast. I love it so far. I will post more recipes as I continue to learn more about my latest product purchase.
