Not happy with the cups provided with my magic bullet, all the plastic tabs on the cups I use have broken off - 2 large cups and one medium one...toast. I am down to one cup. After the first tab broke off I made sure I handled everything carefully but a second tab broke and it wouldn't work, same story with the other 2 cups...cheaply made but expensive to replace.

I got this for my wedding two years ago and started using it recently. I loved it!! It was a perfect way to get an easy breakfast. It started to make this awful noise when I would push down and come to find out it started eating the rubber on my blades. I am so bummed. Of course I didn't send my warranty in after I got it or I'd be covered.

The second time I used the new Bullet to blend a protein shake (all liquid) the rubber drive gear on the underside of the blade that engages the drive motor impeller completely fractured. Shortly there after a second one broke doing the same thing.Obviously a product defect. When it worked it worked great, but the only "Magic" about the Bullet is if it works. This is another product based on a great idea that is built so cheaply it does not last long enough to justify the purchase price. I definitely would not recommend. Just buy a regular blender; I have one the we received as a wedding present 50 years ago and it still works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This magic bullet blender is great for single servings of smoothies, shakes and more.works great to breakdown fruits, ice cream and juices! I love how easy this bullet is to clean and store. I look forward to using it for awhile as it is durable and light weight. Perfect for my kitchen.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy with this product. I love it for single serving smoothies. But it's just not very good for making any of the other things they claim it should be able to do: hummus, pico, dicing onions. The product isn't really able to do much beyond blending things completely. Also, it has never been able to chip/crush ice for me. It makes a horrible sound and the ice cubes just tend to bounce around in the blending cup without anything actually happening to them, which has been the one thing I've found to be fairly disappointing.

This purchase replaced my original that was many years old. I waited too long to replace the old cross-blade with a new one, and the leaks compromised the base. Since using this mostly for smoothies, I find it convenient making it right in the cup I drink from. No complaints. It's a machine that eventually will wear out, but with appropriate care lasts a long time.

I love all of the pieces that came with it. Now that I'm going back to work, I need to run home at lunch and let my dog out and I need a quick lunch. Smoothies! My brother in law recommended nutribullet and I love it because the blending container is the drink container making for easy to go and easy clean up. Plus, nutribullet provides recipes which helps me use it for more things.

I recommend you spend the extra $50-100 and get something that will last! I tried make a smoothie in my Magic Bullet and the plastic piece that rotates the blade BROKE into two pieces and fell off rendering the entire unit unusable... So now I have to go and buy a whole new blender. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR BE WARNED

We use Magic Bullet to make shakes, smoothies, chutneys and to grind dry spices. Its been working well for us, so far. Small sizes of jars are perfect to prepare chutneys, shakes etc in small quantities - so less wastage. Only critique I have is the motor should have higher wattage for jobs that may need more power. I've heard older models had 350 W motor but the newer ones have only 250W motor. Overall, happy with the product.

I've had 3 magic bullets and I use them all the time but thing that keeps on breaking is on the blender itself where the 3 little tabs from the cup lock in to start the blender. When one or two of those break it makes it very difficult to use . The cup tabs break as well but I have many cups to replace but only one blender so I have to buy a whole new set each time.
