I fell for the BlendJet hype and 3 months later the thing conked out. Lucky for me I still had my Magic Bullet that I bought 3 yrs ago +/-. Took it out, plugged it in, added some yogurt, a few raspberries and strawberries and made a great smoothie. Thank you, Magic Bullet for continuing to carry this.

Have owned magic bullet for years, and have given some as gifts. Really only use it for shakes, I find it difficult to make salsa etc. However, I Love it, except for one thing. Sometimes the cup - can tip ( rounded bottom and only 4 little legs). After all these years- it would be nice if the company created a flat bottom for more stability. Just a thought. Thanks

I purchased my magic bullet with the idea I could make myself smoothies and drinks with blended ice but i could not. The magic bullet failed to crush the ice even a little bit. I also attempted to blend some partially frozen fruit and it did not blend that either. It blended smaller berries but would not blend strawberries. The only use for this machine would be to blend together soft food items.

This is my second magic bullet I bought one when they first came out so mine is at least 20 years old. It's finally time to get a new one. I use it every day. You won't be sorry if you buy one and especially if there is only one person that will use it; the perfect size.

My first Magic Bullet was purchased in 2008 - nearly ten years ago! I often use it for smoothies or ice drinks so extra "duty" is frequently required. My first unit lasted 5-6 years and then I purchased a used one on eBay (would never recommend purchasing look-alike assessors on eBay - bad idea). A couple days ago a plastic piece broke on the unit disallowing the blade to make connection; it seemed it was about time I got a "real" machine for smoothies and the like. I made a special early morning round trip of about 50 miles to get the "real deal"; I had read several reviews on line so knew pretty well what was out there. After visiting a couple retail stores and viewing several makes I found JUST what I thought was BEST... another Magic Bullet. The ability to combine the use of a blender and juicer container (came with my first unit in 2008) as well as all the other purposes served by the Magic Bullet convinced me of my purchase; in addition I like the size of the cups both large and small, using both several times a week for this or that.

We bought this 7 months ago. It worked wonderfully for about 4 months. Then, with each smoothie (made WITHOUT ice!) it got louder and louder and louder. We finally had to start putting towels around it just to avoid hearing loss. Then, the blender blade began to loosen up and is now on the verge of falling off. What a pice of junk.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Magic Bullet only uses 250 watts, and has stainless steel blades. I like to make ice- cream grasshoppers. This is perfect size for me, and easy to clean too. I only need small servings, but I do wish the containers had the size listed on them.

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.

I asked for this product for Christmas 2012. 7-8 months later and I am still using this product on a daily basis. I make shakes almost every morning and I was frustrated in having to use a large blender and clean that blender every day. With the magic bullet you only need to rinse/light clean the blades until you do a load of dishes and place your cups in the dishwasher when your done. There is a feature where you turn the cup and it blends automatically without your need to hold it. I would refrain from using it. The nodes that hold your cup in place (and activate the blending when you push down) can snap off if your blend is thicker than a juice. It renders the cup useless at that point and getting the plastic out from the machine can be very hard to do. I have had to replace my machine because one of the plastic peices wouldnt come out of the base and I had snapped the plastic nodules off 2 cups in 7 months of use from the automatic setting. If you buy this, just push down and wait the 10 seconds.. dont twist it to have the machine hold it for you. I recommend anyone who would like to make morning shakes or uses the blender on a regular basis.

I had the Nutribullet until the motor burned out, but at least it worked well for the 3 years I had it. The Magic Bullet failed on its first try. Couldn't blend frozen fruit. The instructions say not to run the motor more than 1 minute at a time, but it would take more than that to do a simple job. Should be taken off the market or at least instructions should say not to use frozen anything.
