Personally I have a Hamilton Beach now (was  gift), but I want the Vitamix for the durability and power. 

So how can we compare the NutriBullet against the Vitamix? In this super informative review  by John Kohler he demonstrates the pros and cons. The Nutribullet, really just a blender is priced at around $100+ with a year warranty while the Vitamix is $450+ with a 7 year warranty.

The USA made Vitamix is very powerful at 1380 watts with 37,000 rpm while the NutriBullet is only 600 watts with 10,000 rpm. Just s you know rpm is how fast it spins and is a time saver in the kitchen. In addition less blending = less oxidation. The NutriBullet has one speed while the Vitamix has variable/infinite speeds.
