Use it 2 or 3 times a day...

Can't make it work as easily as it seems on TV. But my wife and I love this thing. We use it for omelets, mixing health drinks etc. Didn't replace our coffee grinder but if you use it with care you can make salsa, guacamola etc. We would be without it.
Good but not Great

It's working for the things I use it for. Mornings have become healthier; we now have fruit smoothies. It blends pancake or waffle mix evenly, although it seems to create a vacuum in the cup that makes the lid almost impossible to take off without breaking. Grinding small quanitites of nuts or coffee beans also work, however you can't fill the cup more than 1/3 or 1/2 or you will end up with varied consistencies. The blender-juicer are indeed a waste of time and money. I wish I had purchased the device at retail outlet for approximately $50. By mail order it was over $200 with S&H; that's not value for money. Salsa I still make by hand as it turns to mush in this product. Hummus and guacamole work great - never to fill the cup to the top - 1/2 cup works great. I'm satisfied because I don't expect it to do things beyond it's limitations.
Totally Works!

I LOVE this thing. VERY small footprint on your kitchen counter, everything stores nicely in a drawer or along with your glasses. Makes mixed drinks, smoothies, guacamole, and other items in a couple of seconds without having to drag out a heavy blender. Easy to clean gaskets that go right back into the rims of the blender attachments. Love those mugs & colored rims for easy making and mixing. The only product I have ordered that works from an infomercial.
life saver!

I have twins and have made their baby food since they started solids in August. I started with a traditional blender and became very discouraged. Upon seeing the infomercial, I immediately purchased this product and have used it extensively to make all sorts of veggie, fruit and meat purees and rice cereals , as well as sauces and nut butters for my husband and I. It does a good job at chopping, even leafy vegies, such as cabbage, as long as there is absolutely no licquid and the pulse technique is used. It is also very easy to clean by hand or in a dishwasher, much easier than my blender in which everything got stuck beneath the blades. I am now buying one for my friend who is going to start making food for her baby. Wonderful! And gave me more time to spend with my boys. :)
Not worth it

I hated this thing. The small blender jars worked OK, but the blender pitcher (with handle) leaked like a seive. The rubber gaskets would not seal and the liquids leaked into the motor base. Buy a good full size blender instead!!
horrible product

I don't know how they make it work everytime on the infomercial, it's a junk tapping and pulsing still leaves food on the top away from the blade and turns the rest to mush.plus it stops working if you use it more the 4 minutes(and thats just pulsing)It's only good for shakes nothing more.Not worth the money. disappointment
Magic Bullet is Worthless

This product is horrible. Does not do anything right, smoothies, salsa, chopping, or even mincing. Just like all infomercials they are un trustworthy and a scam. I am sorry my fiance's brother spent his $50 on it. Honestly, save your money and go buy a blender, or even an authentic juicer. As for the space saving aspect, this takes up more room than a normal blender would with all of it's accesories. The only good use I found was it mixes those protein shakes very well. Do not buy this horrible product.
Great

Now this is a great product. I have tried some of the recipies and they have turned out perfect. This is one of the few productes that I have seen that really does what the infomercial says. I have even used it for things not mentioed on the infomercial. Even ordered 2 more sets. I highly reccomend this product.
Great product

This is a great product. I bought mine at [] so it didn't come with the juicing attachment, just the two blades, the base, and an assortment of cups. It works exactly as shown in the infomercial . I use it several times a week to make shakes, coffee drinks, and mix eggs. It is much better than a regular blender if you want to make a shake or smoothie for one person because the cleanup is MUCH faster. Also, to the people complaining that it purees vegetables instead of chopping them -- read the directions! You really do have to pulse it for just a fraction of a second. If you practice a little bit you will get the hang of it -- it IS possible to chop vegetables in it. I suggest sacrificing an onion and practicing pulsing a few times, and you will get the hang of it. Overall a fine product and well worth owning.
My favourite kitchen item!!!
4/7/2006 - Sommer of Ontario, Canada writes:
Love this item! It cleared my counters because it DOES do everything each separate item used to do. Coffee-grinder, blender, juicer is gone. This machine DOES all it say if you use it as directed. If it says:chopping blade for 2 seconds, do so! I've had NO problems since day one. Also, my mother has bad arthritis. No more chopping and she can make food, pain free now. She even does her scrambled eggs in it putting the main items in first, maybe ham\onion one day, mushrooms the next day, etc. Then dumps them in the pan, the cracks two eggs and adds milk then pours it in the pan. Only job she has now is pressing down, emptying and flipping. Sure the rings wear out, as do ANY sealing rings after a time, but I've had mine since before christmas, it's April now, MINE haven't worn out YET. Buy it, it's worth it!
Great product

Works great, as advertised, I use it every day making low calorie smoothies, making my own hot sauce, I've used it for four months.
As Easy As 1 2 3

I have been using my Magic Bullet for over a year now and I LOVE it. I make smoothies for my husband and me after we eat dinner. I have never found a product that chops ice so quickily and fine. I have looked for a machine like this for over 10 years. I highly recommend the Magic Bullet.
a great compact blender--thats it

I love this product for its small capacity blending, but as far as a chopper it is really lacking. I have been able to grind coffee beens, but I have made tuna soup too many times trying to make tuna salad. If you need a quick blender this is ideal--otherwise invest in a Cuisinart.

I have one since the summer. Can't do chunky stuff like salsa but love it for smoothies and use for everything else. Love it!
Pretty Good

I bought the Magic Bullet and I really liked how it made smoothies so fast in the same cup. It also made other good recipes. I broke after 6 months. I missed it so much I bought another one and I've had it about 6 months now. I hope it doesn't break again. It's no Vita-Mix. I have one btw. I use the Magic bullet to make my son instant breakfast so fast in the morning. I use my Vita-Mix for bigger jobs.
Good Product

This is a great product once you learn to use it. At first it seems to not work well because it pulvarizes everything (it's that fast. If you actually read the manual and do quick pulses the machine DOES work as advertied. I made great Frappucinos, soups, sauces, pecan & peanut butter, Chicken salad, Ice cream blizzards (Just like dairy Queen). This machine is Great!
Horrible!!

I purchased this product & tried it several times until I returned it & received a full refund (from the department store). This product is nothing more than a blender. It does not "dice & chop" it mashes & pulvarizes. I feel false advertising comes to play here. I had several people try the product to see if I was doing something wrong. No one was able to "dice" tomatoes. You'll get tomato paste & that's about it. Sure it works for shakes & stuff, but I already have a blender!!!!

The informaerical made it sound so irrisistable that i had to buy it and I got two and gave one to a Friend as a Gife. But blending ice was hard too!you will have to put liquid in there before u start blending it or else it will get stuck! It works if you blend food with liquids, otherwise the food sticks to the container very badly! Also it's hard to clean,becaus of the 4 ridges on the inside of it,why don't they make the bold so the ridges are on the outside of the cups? The only thing I find it is good for is making health shakes in the morning.I feel it is over priced for what it can be used for.
great product

This is a great product when used correctly. Some reviewers act like you should be able to put nuts and bolts in it and liquid metal should come out. Not so, but it will do what the infomercial says. The rings wear out after 30-50 uses. Don't tighten the lid so tight? This unit is way better than a large blender!!! Very little clean up too.....
Works pretty good

I love it. It does liquify most things if you don't pulse it just once or twice. And I had problems with the rings the first time I used mine. I bought it after the buy 1 get 1 free started, so my mom got the other one. Hers did great for a while, but then the rings got chewed up on it, too. I haven't taken the time to replace them. They came with replacements, so that tells me they expect it to happen. We made great stuff with it at her house while it worked, though. I plan on fixing my rings asap. It's worth it. The buy 1 get 1 deal is well worth it to get someone to split it with you.
