Stick blender vs nutribullet?! Is the bullet just clever marketing?!

[funnyfoursome]

So I don't have a nutribullet (got my eye on one) but just made a delicious green juice with my 600W stick blender. It coped with apple skin, frozen spinach, fresh mint. Not super smooth but I don't mind a bit of texture. So is there any reason to buy a nutri bullet, or similar? Does it really make drinks more nutritious by breaking more down? Or is it just for people who want to walk out of the door with cup in hand (I can dream SAHM!!)

I think the bullet is quite powerful - i have friends who use theirs to make their own nut butter, i'm not sure you could do that with a stick blender- TBH i do think there is quite a lot of hype about them though

I love mine and I already had a stick blender. I use it for all sorts, including popping lemons, tomatoes, chillis, onions, garlic and ginger in to whizz up a sauce for curry. For prepping fruit before making jam. For making batter for my gram flour flatbreads. For prepping yorkshire pudding batter. All weird and wonderful things. I use it almost every day for something.
