I don't blend much these days and have a basic blender in a cabinet. What would change aside from my wallet and counter/cabinet space with this blender?

Besides Vitamix making most of the best blenders around (with a 10 year warranty to boot), this also comes with a food processor attachment. That could save you another purchase and it could save you the hassle of moving the blender base out of the way when you need a food processor.
Whether you need any of that or not is up to you. If you don't blend a lot because you don't have much of an interest in blended foods, that's one thing. But if you don't blend a lot because using your blender is a terrible ordeal, AND, you wish you could blend more, consider a Vitamix.

The gf said she'd make smoothies because this will blend up the ice well. I don't think we need the food processor so I'll wait for a $200 deal on their lower end models but thanks for the info

Yeah in that case waiting won't hurt. I bought mine when it was ~$260. It was an entry-level model. Funny story is, when it was delivered (I got mine from Amazon), the base was all smashed up. I reached out to Vitamix and they fixed it free of charge. They really do stand behind their stuff. If you can wait until Black Friday that's a great time to buy, they usually do great deals for new and refurb units.

I can certainly vouch for the "value" of higher end Vitamix. I spent under $245 on the A3300. Best purchase ever. I'm about as frugal as they come, but it not only blends better than anything I've ever owned, but it doesn't break. I use it 300+ times a year. The ten year warranty just adds to the peace of mind of having it.

I was in a similar situation and found that I valued convenience the most when it came to using blenders (mainly for smoothies). Went from an old basic blender to Blendtec to Vitamix Ascent to Nutribullet Pro+. None broke, I was just trying to get myself to blend more.

The nutribullet was used the most. It blends well enough and is one less thing to wash because it blends directly in the cup. Downsides were the motor has a smell and if you accidentally overfill the cup it might create a vacuum making it very difficult to open.

The Vitamix Ascent isn't compatible with smaller containers like the 32oz, which also made it annoying to dry in a dish rack since the 48oz is pretty large.

Comparing a Nutribullet to a Vitamix is like comparing a bicycle with a flat tire to a Rolls Royce

Not considering use case is foolish. Obviously the Vitamix is the superior and more versatile blender, but if you are only making small batch smoothies it may not necessarily be the right tool for the job. The Vitamix is really bulky and the 48oz container takes up a lot of space.

People can hate on nutribullet all they want, but from my experience having a Blendtec Total, Vitamix Ascent A3300, and a Nutribullet Pro+ at the same time, for smoothies I kept going for the nutribullet. This is not a blind fanboy opinion having not used the other brands side by side. I'm basing this off of years of use. It does not blend nearly as well as the Vitamix, but it's good enough and much more convenient to pull out.
