I purchased my magic bullet over a year ago. I had to move, but fortunately I was able to bring my nutrí bullet with me. My daughter liked using mine and she bought herself one. Rather than have two in the kitchen, I have been using hers. She threw it out because it stopped working. I brought mine out. It would not work. I almost threw it away... I have finally gotten it to work again. It seems after time [even with proper cleaning ] the mechanisms become stiff and don't depress in order to work. All in all, it's a good blender. I would recommend it to a friend but warn them of the stiffness after prolonged use.

All I wanted to was to make a smoothie. But instead of a quick, easy procedure, I find myself spending 10 minutes to make one. Because the not-so-magic bullet won't blend all of the ingredients together, I add them one at a time. Of course, I have to open the chamber to add another ingredient, which means the liquid drips all over the inside and outside. But, if I do this, maybe I'll get a finished product.

I wish I had NEVER purchased this product because they WEAR OUT TOO SOON! I purchased my second Magic Bullet and the exact same thing happened, both the rubber and plastic gears WORE OUT! I was ready to toss in the trash, but after purchasing a Blender in hopes to get the same results, I was disappointed. SO..... now this 70+ old lady needs to purchase replacement parts and HOPE after viewing many youtube videos, I PRAY I can save them! MAGIC BULLET should provide these GEAR FOR FREE!!!!

I bought a magic bullet 30 years or so ago. All my friends bought one when they saw how it worked. My friends have died but the bullet was left to their children who are still using it. Unfortunately I had to buy a new one because mine's died ahead of me.

I loved this product for the first few months and used it everyday. Apparently these are not designed to last however, and if you actually use the product regularly you will have to replace the blade even more often. Entire mechanism needs to be replaced, so every few months you are forced to buy another blade, more plastic, more waste! Not a sustainable product and would not recommend or buy again. Leaks easily after a few months as well.

I bought this to make smoothies and protein shakes because the blender is a pain to clean. With the bullet you just simple wash out the cup after you're done drinking from it and then rinse the blades. I'm sure I'll get another one when this one dies. I use it almost every morning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love my Magic Bullet! I've always wanted one but being on Social Security could never afford one, since my SS check just barely covers my rent and bills. I was so excited when I received this Magic Bullet for Christmas, and have used it every morning with my 30 grams of an 11 oz Premier Protein drink, Ice, Chunky Peanut Butter, Strawberries and Blueberries, and Ground Flax Seed! No sugar except what's in the ingredients and it is so delicious! I just made it up myself by what I had in frig, etc. I absolutely can't function well until I have this and my coffee in the morning. I'm going to try adding my Coffe next, so I can drink both at once, instead of separately!

I brought the magic bullet about a year ago, over the course that year the tips of the rubber blade gear on three different bases were ground off just from normal wear and tear each day. I suggest that issue is addressed to make the product more durable. Caution to prospective buyers, be prepared to buy replacement parts.

The magic bullet is something everyone needs in the kitchen It works as seen on TV. The only problem I have I should of order two We love it so I'm going to order my personal magic bullet. Thank you magic bullet we now can fuss about using something healthy I am loving it.

I purchased this about 4 years ago to make protein shakes which use ice cubes, water and the protein powder. It has worked perfectly until about a week ago when one of the tabs broke on one of the glasses and the rubber seal broke, but I would think that is expected after that much use.
