All the nutrabullet motors are designed to break or just horrible quality motors.
Two weeks into use the plastic cups cracked. I gave it a slight twist and it cracked. This is built for people who work out. I am an under avarage built guy without mechanic hands if I can crack the cup imagine what arnold can do to it who is a body builder with large arms. Also the motor started struggling just after 2 months of use. 1700 watt motor should be a lot stronger then to start struggleing after 2 months of light use. Also the cup has constant leak problems. This would be ok if it were not for all the idiotic holes on the top of the blender that let leaks through into the motor housing which is impossible to clean. Also lots of hard to navigate stupid rides inside the drive mechanism on top. Tough to clean constant leaks from cups. Horrible design. This thing is totally designed to break on you. Also the scam that you are able to return. You are not for you are on hold for hours and can not reach any people to do the return. Stay clear. Bad people to do business with. Update to the review. The NutriBullet sucks. Their whole line is s***. I got the RX in November 12. That is what is on my bank statement. Today is May 21, 2015. So this is about 6 months and 7 days use. I take out the 7 day shipping period. Notice the pictures. It goes to trash. I by in the past 2 years 3 nutri s*** products all fail to various degree. But to date the worst failure was from their top of the line product the RX. The thing somehow managed to suck in the seal. The thing that i noticed is that this time the thing was the tightest. I had about a paper thin space between the plastic jar and the blade cover. I have no idea how the machine managed to suck the seal out into the blades. This is horrible design. Never again buy a mashine that has the cup upside down these designs are just set up for failure. They are stupid. You have a cup upside down. You are faced with constant spill problems. This is the most trouble I had with. I am just stupid to listen to stupid people who think they are brilliant and can defy gravity. The fact is you have something upside down you just set yourself up for disaster. Don't get me wrong the smoothie is great. But the blender has serious design flaws. All the models have this. All of them have spill problems. The funny thing is they tell you not to fill passed the max line but I noticed that it even spill when I had below the line. The spill line has no correlation on the failure. I think the problem is the fact that the motor as it progresses to age becomes unbalanced and the vibration undoes the screwed on cup. By the way I am a jet engine mechanic and know that anything has to be secure on a vibrating machine. For you to keep the cup tight against vibration you would have to safety wire it in tightening motion. hahahaha. That is what we do to bolts on jet engine. This design is an utter failure. Also the motor fails premature because of spills in the housing. What I do not understand is why motor housings are not spill prof from the top. I understand you need ventilation for the motor but do it from the bottom. Or the sides where the ports are angled downward so water does not get in. You can also design it where the port can have water go through it and have the electronics water tight. Very simple technology. This thing is made to fail like most crap from China. I don't by the it cost to much to make it that way anymore. Horrible product.
