The Magic's Gone!
3/21/2007 - Mike of Minnesota, USA writes:
I purchased 2 Magic Bullet Blenders with all the bells, stiops and warranty whistles for a total of $250.00 + tax and shipping. Gzeesh! After only 6 months of limited, biweekly, instruction manual guideline-approved use, the motor on the blender just died. No smoke, just zip...froze up on me. Now I have to pay $4.99 to have a new motorized base sent to me and it will be here in 3 weeks?! That magic is gone!
save your money

The magic bullet is a good machine for protein drinks and smoothies - other than that it is not a well funtioning machine - It does not chop well - the recipies are not that tasty - and the juicer does not give you much juice - save your money and get a blender
awesome

I have been using the magiv bullet for about 8 months with no problems and I love it. It is great for drinks of any kind. The motor is very powerful. I use it most often to grind coffee for a great fresh cup in the morning. I recomend it to everyone.
Pleased after a two years

I've had this product for over two years and if it broke I'd immediately replace it. I've found it most useful for smoothies, omelets, and dips. I probably use it everyday and if I lived in a kitchen with a pre-prepared spread of ingredients like the infomercial, I'd use it even more. Unfortunately, I'm rather lazy about looking up recipes and collecting ingredients, but it's a great, easy clean up, and powerful product. Very much worth it.
Great Except For Cheese

I bought this product well over a year ago and liked it so much I bought four more and gave them to our kids for their families for this past Christmas(2006). They all have teen's that use them with ease. The only real problem I have had is that no matter how many ways, and how many types of cheese I've tried to chop it just won't chop it. I have learned not to "over chop" items because it will turn to mush. Other than that I use it nearly every day for something I'm cooking.
FANTASTIC FOR DAILY USE

My wife and I have used this machine everyday for the past six months with absolutely no trouble. We crush frozen strawberries in orange juice, add some powdered cinnamon, a vitamin pill, for a morning drink every morning. Yes it is a bit loud, but it is fast and real easy to clean.You just have to make sure that the blade is on tight. If it leaks you have to clean the 3 white slides inside..they control the switches below..so if you try to lock the cup on and it wont lock..then the slides are stuck from dried jucie...otherwise this machine is great!I recommend to anyone looking for a fast mixer.It is not a big machine so don't expect it to do big major jobs..but for small stuff it is perfect. By the way, add a little sherbet to my drink above...it does taste good!
Pretty good, but not great

I got a Magic Bullet for Christmas, and it is a pretty good product. It is NOT what they claim it to be, something to replace blenders, but for quick things that you don't want to get out your blender it is a pretty good deal. My wife and I both like making smoothies and energy drinks with it, and the cups that let you make a single serving size are really convinient.
Love it, but it doesn't replace a normal blender

I received the Magic Bullet as a gift from my boss. We had one in the office and I used it all the time, so she got me one as a going-away present. I LOVE it because it fits in my gym bag and because I can make protein shakes fast. It's pretty nice to be able to just throw the cups in the dish washer instead of having to rinse out an entire blender. Pros: -small, can take it with you -easy to use -easy to clean Cons: -makes shakes too foamy (although my boyfriend likes this...I don't) -only has one speed, so you can only blend things if you want them pulverized -can only make one serving at a time Overall, I love it, but it definitely doesn't replace a normal blender. This is great for people who are in a hurry or want to take a blender to work or to the gym.
Mushy Dips

My brother got the magic bullet 4 christmas and the first thing he made was a dip it taste like poo,but good 4 shakes and smoothies.
Not as good as they say!

Buy a good blender. Don't fall for all the things they do on the comercials. Nothing turns out as perfect!! It doesn't chop ice the way they say it does. I've had mine for over a year....used it twice. Not worth the money.
Great!

I really like my magic blender. I've made skim milk lattes every morning since Christmas - and smoothies most days as well. Just peel an orange, blend it for awhile, then add crushed ice and a banana - and a strawberry or two for color - then blend again. I don't like pulp, so I blend it for WAY longer than I'm supposed to - but it always works fine. I grind up leftover meat (chicken, beef, etc) and make salad - practice pulsing to avoid mushing everything. I like it that I can whip my milk and then put it in the microwave - I like that I can make a smoothie without getting out the blender and then having to clean it - I like that it goes in the dishwasher - I like making individual drinks to each person's taste - I love the size and can't wait to use it in the camper this summer.
Blender works better

I bought this product because it looked so easy to use, and so quick. Well its not. I tried to make the sorbet, and it didn't chop any of the ice or the strawberries, it will still full of chunks. Everything u make has to be runny for it to work well. I feel that a regular blender does the same thing, and works much better. And also when you make stuff the machine smells like smoke, its awful
Used every day

My old roommate uses this product every single morning for her protein shakes. It's so easy to clean (just pop it on the top rack of the dishwasher) and it really stays on the counter top. Pretty cool machine and it's really easy to use. I would love to buy one for my husband so he would quit swiping my hand mixer for his protein shakes.
Unmagic Blender

Magic Bullet is a BLENDER... That breaks easily. The first time I used it smoke came from the motor. Luckly the two base attachments broke within weeks. Use a coffee grinder to do a better job.
Don't buy
2/8/2007 - Chris of Ontario, Canada writes:
I bought two magic bullets on a promotion for the price of one. With shipping the order still came to over $130. I gave one to my Mom and it broke after one week of minimal use. One week later the one I used stopped working. I've used many blenders without any problems and this is clearly the worst quality machine. Avoid!!!
Great drink maker

I've had the magic bullet for about 1 1/2 years. It's great for making smoothies, chopping cheese, meat and making instant pudding. It does suck when chopping anything soft especially vegetables.You have to practice the pulse technique.
Great for drinks, not for chopping
2/4/2007 - Keith of New York, USA writes:
I love the product, but it's NOT perfect. Anything I've chopped get chopped WAY to fine and becomes liquid (even if you follow the instructions). Also, the blender-size cup (on mine) leaks. That said, it helps me make the best chocolate milk, hot cocoa, iced drinks, mixed drinks and smoothies. And the juicer attachment is kick-a__! If you make lots of stuff like that, you'll like the product. DO NOT use it on tuna and tomatoes or cheese or the other things it says it chops...unless you want to make paste from those things. I guess it'd do a great guacamole.
Love It
2/3/2007 - Shirley of Wisconsin, USA writes:
I have had the Magic Bullet for approximately 5-6 years. I absolutely love it and I try to watch the demonstrations on TV a couple times a month. It does everything it says it does and more! Would replace it if necessary with same product. Well worth the price.
Like it alot

Pros: perfect whipped cream every time (best part for me); great crushed ice; fast; nice accesaories; doesn't take up much room; no problems during the year I've had it. Cons: mushes some things (onions, hard-boiled eggs, carrots for example); loud; ridges inside glasses are rough on hands when washing. I bought a second one and keep it at my mom's nursing home for nice crushed ice when she's sick. Also makes a good smoothie. I like it and would buy again if mine broke.
This product rocks

I've been using this product for over a year. Mostly once a day but sometime twice. I haven't had any problems with it and it does everything I want it to do. I mostly make smoothies.
