Has anyone used this for making nut butters?

No I have never used it to make nut butters however I've used the whip attachment to make mayonnaise? I would think you would use the multi-purpose blade to break up the nuts to a paste, then may be use the mincer or something to smooth it out? Probably would help to use a tall narrow vessel such as the 600 mL beaker.

No I haven't. I've only used it for sauces and absolutely love it. It is so powerful though I would think it would work just fine.

I would be shocked to know this would work with nut butters. I wasn't even able to make them with my old Breville Blender, which was a pretty powerful blender. I make nut butters in my high speed blender withno problem. This immersion blender is awesome for use on the stove or whipping up quick salad dressings . . .but I really wouldn't recommend trying it on nut butters. It's great on juicy foods or foods with liquid them, though.

I have blended peanut and almonds with water into a very fine drink. If you don't have enough water the blender will overheat and shut off. I have not been able to make pure nut butter, but can finely chop nuts with my muffin batter or green drinks.

It makes less noise than your typical non-professional blender but it does make quite a bit of noise, nothing too significant. Yes, it can make nut butter, peanut butter is easy but almond butter is a bit more complicated to do.

I've used this processor to make almond butter without problem. Depending on if your almonds are raw or roasted will determine the processing time. I've let this thing run about 15 minutes and it does get warm. I immediately clean the bowls, lids and blades after use and if you're making butter be extra attentive to where food particles can lodge.

I have made peanut butter in it but have not tried almonds. Works great for peanut butter! Hope this helps!

Sorry, but don't know. Simply have never tried using it for this, or any other butters yet. Great for everything we have tried thus far though.

Ok, I did get chance to try the chopper to attempt to make some almond butter. It did struggle with the nuts. I pulsed it until it had a chance to break down some of the nuts and then turned it to full "on" button and the unit sort of wobbled to where I had to hold on to it to stabilize it. So, I would say that for this sort of thing, you would definitely need something a bit more powerful. Hope this helps. I actually learned something myself trying this out. :)

I haven't tried to make peanut or almond butter with it, because I use my food processor. But I don't think you should make nut butters with it, because you're not supposed to leave the nutribullet running for more than a minute, and it takes about 12 minutes to make smooth nut butters. Hope that helps!

I have not used it to make peanut butter from raw nuts, but it did puree dried figs (quartered and soaked in Marsala) very nicely. It should work on nuts.

YES! It's a great appliance, and the price can't be beat. The blade is strong (It works exactly like my cuisinart. The only real difference is that the overall machine is lot lighter/ weighs less). I've had no problem making applesauce or nut butters.

I make nut butters using a earlier version of this processor, and I accidentally stumbled onto the key to making almond butter in a flash (works with other nuts, too.) I microwaved 3/4 cup roasted almonds (raw works, too) until they were quite warm, but not hot. I put them immediately into the food processor bowl and started it up. I stepped away for a few minutes to make a cup of coffee -- thinking that even with the warm nuts it would take at least 10 minutes to make butter. However, when I stepped back the butter was done! Using the pre-heated method makes smooth butter in a few minutes, with no danger of over-heating the motor.

I really don't know. I would first research how other people make nut butter, what kind of tool they use. If they say a blender then I see no reason why you could not use this for that then.

I also grind nuts into flour and nut butter but I prefer my Blentec blender for this job because of the HP. This does can do this job as well but it will probably burn out it used for long periods of time.

It depends on the nut butters and their oil content. Any time you try to wash something that contains oils it can be difficult. As far as getting the nut butters out, it is a piece of cake. The twister jar comes with a custom spatula that does a great job of getting in the hard to reach areas. Honestly, just soak with a decent soap and hot water and you should be fine. The big picture is nutbutters without other ingredients and healthier living :)

I think it does pretty well with natural peanut butter, and it does fine with my homemade almond butter (which is admittedly slightly looser than the commercial stuff) and the stiff soft doughs, like cookies and biscuits, so I would imagine it would handle commercial almond butter or crystalized honey too.

I have only used it for making almond and walnut nut milk. I am sorry I could not be of more help.
