 LOVE MY MAGIC BULLET!!!! February 19, 2010

I originally got the Magic Bullet to use to make homemade baby food...I have a full sized food processor and full sized blender, but figured this would be better for small amounts. Well, I haven't had the baby yet, but I'm already using the Magic Bullet and IT IS AWESOME! It makes GREAT frozen smoothies, as long as you add enough liquid...if you just add ice and fruit, OBVIOUSLY it won't work...I add juice, milk, or water along with the fruit, ice, and sometimes yogurt and it crushes the ice great. WAY better than my big blender, which was more expensive and is a pain in the butt to clean! Haven't used it for much else yet, but by the way it does ice, I'm sure it can handle anything else I put in there!
Excellent for single serve smoothies! April 2, 2010

I got this because of jaw surgery and I wanted to be able to make single serve smoothies and other meals while recovering. I'm all recovered and I still use this every morning for a smoothie. It's SO much more convenient than using our blender...if I don't have time to wash the cup, there are three more waiting for me the next morning! During recovery, I did use it for several other items...spaghetti, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, pizza...and it worked great! I wasn't super excited when I saw that the cups are BPA filled...however I never wash them in the dishwasher, and I never heat them in the microwave. It would be great if they'd come out with BPA free versions.
We love this! March 31, 2010

After hearing about this from a friend, my husband came home saying we just had to try this out. We have always used a standard blender to make our protein shakes and it's always messy. However, I was still a little leary of this machine as the be-all-end-all of blenders.
Well, it is. It works great (I have to say, though, we've only had it a month) and everything is so easy to clean. We don't use glasses anymore, along with a heavy glass blender, to make our shakes. We make about 2-3 per day and the magic bullet mixes MUCH better than our regular blender, particularly with frozen bananas and blueberries, the powder mixes much better in this, and the cleanup is a breeze. Couldn't be easier!
So if it breaks down in a few months I'll write an update but for now, it has 5 stars.

After reading some reviews on here I decided to make my own. Something I think people need to understand is that the Magic Bullet (MB) blender was made for very specific use. I haven't seen the info-mercials but I can say that for me, this is the perfect blender. Here's why:
1. Size - The MBs compact size means it's easy to store. This is crucial for people who don't have a lot of cabinet/counter space. My counter already has a coffee pot, espresso machine,toaster, knife rack, etc. I need a blender that doesn't take up very much space, so for me, it's the perfect size because I leave it sitting out. The extra accessories can be left in the box it came in and put in the attic or basement for storage if you won't be using them on a regular basis. I only use the 20oz cup.
2. Ease of Use - We live in an age where people want simplicity. By design, the MB already has your serving size pre-determined. This is great for people who are conscientious about their portion sizes. In addition, it makes clean up easier. There's no need to pour your drink from a pitcher to a cup, so not only are you using less dishes, but the design of it is just like cleaning a glass. Also, there is only one speed of the MB. This may seem like a detractor, but the switch between pulsing and pureeing works well and should handle any job a normal blender does. I found this surprising omission to be one of its best attributes, hence it's specific use.
3. Functionality - I've only used the MB to make smoothies/shakes and it works great. Some reviewers have complained that the MB underperforms in this area but I think it is a case of operator error. They must be using it wrong because after I got the hang of it, I found that I have a perfect smoothies/shakes. What I would recommend is to blend your ice (approx. 5 pcs) and milk/water (approx. 1 cup) first. Break the ice up by pulsing the MB. Once this is done, add in whatever mix/powder you want in it. Mix it in by pureeing it. Lastly I add half a banana by pureeing it as well. The result is a perfect drink without any ice chunks. I find for smoothies it works better than a blender.
All in all I highly recommend the MB if the details I listed earlier are what you're looking for. If you want more than single servings at one time I would look elsewhere. Otherwise, the MB should be able to handle any job a traditional blender does.
I love it February 27, 2010

I love my Magic Bullet and love my smoothie and the pesto also. I love how easy is to use it and to clean it.
