Nostalgia Electrics NBM400 Electric Peanut Butter Maker

Ok, I gave it one star, as it does turn a small kernel into butter..However, it is super cheaply made, it shakes so much that that the lid comes off. Super loud and NOT worth more than 15 bucks..for the look.The engine shuts off and get's overheated...DO NOT BUY if it's peanut butter you want. Invest in a different machine. I just ordered a Ninja and will throw this cheap thing away ASAP

This was a great Christmas gift for my husband. He really loves the old time look in the different appliances. Also...he's tired of the processed peanut butters because they all add sugar. With this maker, he can make his own with out the added sugar. Also, he can now make other nut butters. this maker works really well, instructions are very clear, and have had no problems with it. Only down side is that the bowl that holds the finished peanut butter is small (husband really loves peanut butter and goes through it really fast, luckily he can make more!!) Sooooo, I guess you could say that we both love this product.

Effective but nothing great. It works. It will make you your nut butter but it is noisy and a little challenging to clean

This cheaply made machine worked, with a good bit of effort, 3 times. On the 4th, the motor melted the plastic and it would not spin. I took it apart and repaired it. Worked ok for a few minutes, and then the motor got fried. This machine simple does not have enough power to do the job it is asked to do. Nice looking though! Will make a nice knick-knack in my kitchen while I go spend some more serious money for one that will work. As an aside, I leave feedback for almost all I buy, from 1 - 5 stars, not just when I don't like something, as many people do!

I read the reviews after I ordered it for my boyfriend as a gift so I was a little leery, but it turned out fine. It does take a bit of time and ingenuity to use it though. You can't just throw some canned nuts in, turn it on, and expect peanut butter to come out. Just make sure you chop the nuts and have oil flowing into the machine and are turning the top so nothing gets jammed. It's definitely more of novelty product that of practical use in making nut butters, but that's what I had expected and wanted. So if you're looking to make practical peanut butter, etc and pretty easily, I would not recommend- just go buy a food processor, but for a fun, sweet treat, I am all for it.

Used to have a Old Salton it was great Took whole peanuts and quiet as Hand mixer...This thing you gota grind /chop nuts first(in food processor of by hand) and then feed to , it sounds loaded and awful and grumbles like a washer out of balance..If you don't hold on to it it will be on floor..Constantly have to clear feed chute..Does good job on peanut butter though but slow

I bought this because my wife was buying her peanut butter at whole foods and it seemed like this would allow us to give her the same product but less expensive and only when she needed it. We found the right peanuts and it grinds them into a nice creamy peanut butter - but it is really, really loud. I feel like I have to wear ear protection. The only other problem is that it is hard to clean the chute where the peanut butter comes out. I think I can solve that by getting a small bottle brush, but nothing I currently have fits in there and peanut butter is not the easiest thing to clean.I have not tried to grind anything but peanuts so far. All-in-all, I`m happy with it.

This is poor quality materials mixed with time consuming clean-up. In order to have peanut butter even remotely smooth, the nuts have to be ground up using a coffee grinder first - they don't tell you that, we found out the hard way. You add oil at the top until you get the consistency you want. Of course by then you've already wasted part of the nuts only to discover during clean-up that almost as much "butter" was stuck in the machine as was in the jar. Don't use expensive nuts if you're going to use this machine.Better to just use the coffee grinder and your food processor - you probably already own them and they are much, much, much easier to clean!
