    My sister is in NY this week and is buying nutribullets as she has a contact thee who is selling them to her cost price.
    I'm wondering how I go about using it here?!
    Will I need a special transformer and how much do they cost?!

    According to thenutribullet site the basic model is 600w and they go up to 1700w. Tell her to stop buying them and flog the ones she has...

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    however the wattage is the key factor here as the price goes up do the watts.
    Its a mad idea, especially if she gets stopped at customs.

    Exactly I have bought two over the years . It's not worth the cost of the traffo imho.

    Also the extra bulk.

    Also if you buy a UK one make sure you keep the returns docket they put in the box. Photograph the unit boxed as it arrives. If it breaks sent it back using registered post only keep the box. Photocopy your paperwork.

    A great unit, but some break and they will return your money if you follow the steps I have you. They will refund postage too so keep that receipt.
