Fix or replace: Nutribullet blender

[53' Stude]

Good evening Bitogers. Today using my nutribullet to make a smoothie I noticed my Nutribullet seems to be lacking on power end. Made smoothie fine, just smelled of smoke after using it. I can see it arcing kinda when I flip it upside down. Is it worth taking it apart to try to fix it or should I just replace it?

I have owned this Nutribullet since 2009 also

Thank You for advice and help in advance

Well, electrical appliances are supposed to be smoke free.... you can check into replacement parts but with it being 10 years old I'm thinking its time to belly up to the bar...

Fixable or not at 10 years old it is time for a new one

Nope, time for a new one.....

Just put the smoke back in and seal with RTV, that should do the trick.

When motors smokes it will cost more to replace the motor than a new one I'm thinking. Ed

i used to make baby food for my kids and burned up 3 oster brands that were supposed to be durable with metal gears. Same issue smoked the motors. Then bought a BlendTec off Ebay that is like the ones you see at a Smoothie King. It's rated like 18 amp and 3.5 HP. There are a bunch of interesting youtube videos on these things. I have ground up avocados seed and all for extra fiber. Very smooth and powerful. A little noisy if you don't use the clear enclosure box designed to reduce noise. Vitamix are another very good brand. My parents have a Kitchenaid that is a little cheaper but seems very good as well.

I have a Magic Bullet from back when they were on TV a lot. No complaints about it. Still use to make protein shakes.
