yes! I compared this to the vitamix and decided to keep this one for 1/10 the price. It made both almond and coconut butters just as smooth as well a blending the greens in green smoothies. The only difference is it takes a few minutes longer. Keep tamping at the edges and it will liquify then let it run for a few minutes...I leave the room :)

I bought this blender to make homemade mayonnaise as my old blender quit working. In the past I have used a very similar hand blender to blend soups and for making apple sauce, apple butter and jams, etc. There was no problem with the hot soup or jams, but I was careful not to go above the mark indicated on the blender.

No, but I had a very poor experience with the blender unit. It quit after a month of daily use.

There are a few online videos about making nut butter with this product. I have not personally made any but for the most part the nut butter comes out more chunky. If you want a smooth nut butter you should use a food processor.

The manufacturer says you can make peanut butter with this unit. However, if that is all you want to make, I would look at a different solution. This is primarily a "juicer" that has parts to allow you to make peanut butter.

When I created a smoothie with a cup of frozen blueberries the blender worked hard to chop through the blueberries, but it finally succeeded. The peanut butter should not be a problem but it may take a minute or two to get through it. A five inch jar of pb should not be a problem.

No, the nutribullet has a hard time blending things that are overly thick. You even have to be careful when making smoothies.

We use a food processor to do that. Blenders are not normally recommended for nut butters.

Not a clue as to why anyone would think of using a Mason Jar on a Blender??? Ummmmm...not a good idea it seems. However, I have this blender and it is GREAT! I Love it! Is powerful and easy to use...definitely recommend it. :) :) :)

It came with a smaller container that is supposed to be for food processing. Yes, you definitely can make milk shakes. But, I have no idea if it could make peanut butter. I wanted it to make smoothies, but it does not chop or blend frozen fruit well at all. That is why I bought it, so I was disappointed from that aspect. I would just be concerned that if it can not chop frozen fruit well, it may not successfully blend peanuts into peanut butter.

I use it for protein shakes. I put in the water, two scoops of powder, peanut butter and then ice. I put the cover on and blend it for about 30 seconds. When it's done, I turn it back over and unscrew the top and put a straw in it. It works wonderfully!!

Depends if your going to do nut butters. I think just blending ice and smoothies you would be fine with the other one. Its a great blender

Honestly I don't see why it wouldn't be able to. It turns ice into dust in a matter of seconds, it really has made my life a lot easier. I haven't used this blender for dry goods and don't have any experience doing that so I can't guarantee it. There is a recipe guide that it comes with for a "Crunchy Thai Peanut Spread" and the first step for making that is to take two cups roasted peanuts and pulse on "option 1" until chunky. So I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue.

Haven't tried it in the blender but do make smoothies with pumpkin seeds, chia, hemp seeds, nuts and frozen cranberries and frozen blueberries. I do have a Cuisinart food processors that I make butters in.

Yes, but I don't recommend this blender anymore. It just doesn't grind up things as it did when it was newer. In fact, it cuts off if the mixture is too thick. I've gotten a year out of it before it started cutting off.
