Magic Bullet High Speed Blender Mixer System

Pros: Fast, great for milkshakes
Cons: poor workmanship and no customer service support

I agree, the Bullet was great until it hit 18 months "old." At that point the chopper blade began to shred every time it was used and the plug had to be pulled to stop the system. Today, it not only continue to shred the bottom of the blade (where it screws in) but, the blade locked onto the base.

Worse yet, customer service wouldn't help because the system was a gift and I didn't have the receipt (two yrs later to the day!). They offered no help in removing the cup except to take pictures so they could authenticate that it was theirs.

So - now I'm stuck w/a bullet that has 1/2 chopped zuccini in the cup that won't come off.

Pros: Easy to use, Easy to clean, Great for simple/quick jobs
Cons: Does not work well for for multiple-ingredient recipes

I got this as a baby shower gift, and was told that many moms use it to make homemade baby food. Well, I use it for that and a lot more! It does make it easy to puree food for my 8-month old, and I also use it for whipped cream, blended drinks, shredding cheese, making guacamole, etc. I got rid of my old blender, because this does everything I want and is much easier to use and clean. Except for the base, I have washed everything in the dishwasher with no problems - the base is easy to wipe down. It is definitely a simple tool - if you want something that will smoothly blend lots of ingredients, you will probably be disappointed. But if you are looking for something for quick, simple blending jobs than you will love the Magic Bullet.

Pros: Space saving and most parts are dishwasher safe
Cons: The issue of breaking parts and company policy on replacement.

Loved for 1 year, then the plastic part on the base broke (as described in other reviews.) The company is apparently too greedy or unable to offer simple plastic replacement parts, and forces consumers to purchase an entire replacement base for a high % of the original purchase price.

Company needs to re-engineer the parts that keep breaking and offer quality individual replacement parts at a reasonable price; this would have made loyal customers instead of "lost" customers. Company needs to prove to public that they are in this for the long haul and not a quick buck.

Pros: Marvelous meals I would have created if it had stayed in tact.
Cons: Plastic parts are...wimpy... wimpy ...wimpy.

I hemmed and hawwed and finally gave in and purchased our bullet about 4 months ago. We used it and loved it.... when it would work. Its a fragile little gadget that couldn't stand up to our family's once per week use (sheesh). Plastic is wimpy and broke on cups rims rendering them useless in the base, blade housing separated from blade and would not turn, plastic base which holds the bullet to the base shattered and now it is a lovely paperweight...well not that lovely. save your money and your disappointment. Promises bigger than delivery.

Pros: Easy and fast to use,small and compact.Great for smoothies and dips
Cons: none

I bought magic bullet about a year back,and its simple the best.I have had no problems so far & it works just perfect.I use it to make various dips,and really tasty smoothie.The thing i love the most about magic bullet is that its very easy and fast to use and if you are on a diet this is perfect cause i make low fat low calorie smoothies and salads in minutes.Also its compact so space is not a problem.I think its a good buy.

Pros: while you can use it - fast and convenient
Cons: essential parts break off the containers- replacement parts over-priced

The plastic parts broke off the blender body on all but one within weeks of normal use and you can't use it without them. $30.00 for replacement!!! Better to buy a blender that can use a canning jar base unless you can afford to buy new containers every few months.

Pros: Actually does what it is supposed to do.
Cons: You have to wash really well

This machine was bought for my birthday. I love to cook So my husband bought it for me. and i love it it makes things so easy and it doesn't take up any space.

Pros: Makes great smoothies
Cons: VERY, VERY POOR durability

The TV AD looks great, and our family loves smoothies so the first day we made three,....no problem and then on the fourth the rubber gasket came loose and wrapped around the chopper blade,....that was the first problem. Then next one of the tiny tabs on one of the mugs broke and stayed in the base unit and that caused the next mug not to seat properly which led to the high torque motor chewing off the clutch on the bottom of the grinding unit,...problems two and three. (All on our first day with the MAGIC BULLET)

The concept is great, and when it is working right we love it,....but the design of the product is very poor in terms of durability.

We are currently looking for a similar product with better durability. (Hope someone makes one!!!)

Pros: Small, hides away on counter. Easy to use.
Cons: Very poorly built with cheap parts. Motor and unit will not last.

My friend bought one and I was impressed until I used it for mixing my power drinks. The black spindle on the inside which is made of plastic kept coming off so I took it back to where I bought it and they gave me a new one. Worked fine for a while then the same thing happend! Called magic for a refund and they said I would have to buy a new motor + shipping. Into the garbage the piece of crap went! Do yourself a favour and stay away from this crappy product. Buy a popular brand like Oster and you'll be happy.

Pros: SOUNDS AND LOOKS WONDERFUL???
Cons: VERY VERY VERY POORLY MADE!!!!

DO NOT BUY THE MAGIC BULLET!!!!

IT IS TOTAL CRAP. THE PLASTIC SPINDLE PIECE IN THE BASE UNIT BROKE THE FIRST TIME I USED IT. HAVING EXAMINED IT I COULD SEE THAT IT IS VERY POORLY MADE.
I WISH THAT I'D READ REVIEWS BEFORE I BROUGHT THIS CRAPPY BLOODY THING!

Pros: fairly priced multi-use
Cons: can't think of any right now, so far so good!

I have actually purchased this product and can assure it is worth the money spent on it, made my cooking much quicker, which I needed :D

Pros: WORKS GREAT
Cons: NEEDS BIGGER CUPS

THIS IS THE COOLEST BLENDER EVER! I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE. I USE IT ALL THE TIME FOR MY SMOOTHIES AND ON THE RUN MEALS.

Pros: using it is easy and I love how it saves me time and money!
Cons: there are no cons as far as I'm concerned!!!

I don't have a credit card Please let me pay by mail/personal check PLEASE! My husband and I are on a fixed income I'm in a wheelchair, and he is blind. I'm not asking for pity just a much appreciated break. We adore the Magic Bullet. I bought it while shopping at the local mall. I would dearly Love to purchase the 48oz. blender!! Thank you

Pros: NIL
Cons: Light duty only

The Magic Bullet blender system was my Christmas present to the mother in law this year.

Well let's just say that she was disappointed. The system did not live up to any of the expectations that the TV Infomercial would create in your mind.

The first assigned task for the Magic Bulls**t as she has re-christned it was simply mincing fruits for the Christmas fruit cake. Sad to say, it was not equal to the task. Indeed, she had to bring out the long in the tooth but still fully functional Osterizer which did the trick and saved the day (or should I say morning because it was 0200 on Christmas morning when she gave up trying to get the MB to work.)

This little excuse for a blender is better suited for my niece's play kitchen that the real thing. Don't throw out your oldie, you may still need it!

Pros: Cleans up quickly and not bulky to use
Cons: Gotta be gentle

For those of you who might need replacement gears please email me at grevicci@cox.net You don't have to pay an arm and a leg to buy a new base just to get a gear!
