Magic Bullet High Speed Blender Mixer System

Pros: Fast, easy to clean, doesn't take up much space.
Cons: parts can break, can't use my blender without something breaking.

Just when I thought I'd have to trash my MB when my gear shattered into pieces and a replacement from the company would cost just about as much as I paid for everything total, a ray of hope came to me. I did a Google search and found that there was an affordable replacement gear and went ahead and purchased it. Now my MB that I was going to trash is in perfectly operable condition. What saved my MB was the link www.ambgears.blogspot.com
So fellow users, if you got stuck with a MB "lemon" then don't give up hope yet.

Pros: fast fast fast
Cons: specialized use

Some people love it, some like it, some break it. 
For insurance, buy it at Costco, then you can return it if you don't like it,  or it breaks.
yay Costco!

Pros: mixes quickly and not too noisy
Cons: rubber gasket came loose adding tiny bits of black plastic to the drink!

finally received one as a gift but on the third use (making a milkshake for the kids) the rubber gasket came loose and wrapped around the blade.  Tiny bits of plastic shredded through the drink.  Do not feel this product is well made. 

Pros: Works as advertised.
Cons: Breaks after several months.

The bullet worked well for me for four months, but then the base failed. I was able to exchange it, but the second one eventually failed also. The only thing I really used it for was to whip up milk for coffee and light chopping once in a while. I enjoyed it while it worked but it's just too cheaply made.

Pros: Great product that can hold up to lots of abuse.
Cons: I have heard of fakes that the manufacturer won't replace. Can you blame them?

I have had mine over 2 years and all of it works great. The base still works, the blades are still sharp. I have put it in the dishwasher, including blades, hundreds of times without any problems. The juicer is picky but works if you take your time. All in all this was well worth the money!!!

Pros: Gives good end results, takes less time than regular home conveniences.
Cons: Ridiculous noise levels, can be poky at times.

My mom recently received a Magic Bullet for Christmas. Since today, I have already made 3 perfect, 20-40 second smoothies.
I would recommend this product to anyone who likes to cook, but doesn't seem to have a lot of time to cook big meals.

Pros: quick clean up, easy to use, compact
Cons: LOUD!!! Doesn't always blend food at the top of container

I began making my daughters baby food at home, and considered buying a Magic Bullet. My sister had an unused one in storage as she is away at college, and allowed me to try it, before I purchased my own. It is so loud. Granted it does puree better than anything I've tried to use lately. But the volume at which it operates, is a definate deterant for me to purchase my own.

Pros: Seems to blend fast and well for smoothies (all we use it for)
Cons: Plastic gears don't last. Customer service is slow and inflexible.

Within two months of purchasing it, the plastic gears attached to the blade were significantly worn. Within five months, the blades were useless.

We contacted the manufacturer. Replies came three - five days after our contacts. Because we didn't save the receipt, they wanted us to pay for a replacement blade

Check Consumer Reports. I should have. They list more durable personal blenders.

Pros: Loved the crab cake recipe in the book
Cons: Can't handle anything frozen (except ice cream)

I bought this specifically cuz of the infomercial. Everything looked so good and so easy to make. Trust me, this product doesn't do a lot of the stuff suggested on tv. This thing can not make sorbet. I tried frozen strawberries and other frozen fruits and it over heats before you get sorbet. And it really stinks when it overheats. It can't chop ice cubes either. Basically, it sucks when it comes to making anything using anything frozen. It can't dice veggies either, they turn to a slimy mush. Forget making salsa, it turns out foamy and liquified. What it does make well...milkshakes, smoothies (with fresh fruit), whipped up eggs....can be done with the blender you probably already have.

Pros: Small, hides in a corner of the kitchen
Cons: Doesn't chop. Pulse action is a joke. Not worth the money or the time.

Ok, it doesn't chop, it doesn't make cheese sauce, or spaghetti sauce, or salsa or anything at all that needs the pulse action. Its only good for smoothies and thats if you chop up the ice first, or mixed drinks, again, if you chop up the ice first, and its decent at making a frozen fruit treat as long as the frozen fruit is only a berry. Anything bigger than a berry and you're out of luck. This thing does not do what it says on the infomercial.

Pros: Blends baby food well.
Cons:  FALSE ADVERTISING! They sell faulty products and don't stand by warrantee!!

TERRIBLE PRODUCT. EVEN WORSE COMPANY!!  The motor just broke as I was blending soft split peas. There is a card in the recipe book that I am supposed to mail in to activate the warrantee. But when I called them about it, they are telling me I need a proof of purchase as well. FALSE ADVERTISING! They want to charge me $20 for a new motor base -- what a great way to make money... sell faulty products and then keep making money when people are forced to buy new parts!

Pros: Easy clean up, good power
Cons: if you don't get the washer in correctly, the top will leak.

I love this little blender. Great for smoothies, making pesto. Received as a gift and very much enjoy it. No problems so far!

Pros: Compact
Cons: Inconsistency, Power, Durability, Loud, Disappointment

I was so excited to buy this! I tried to make a smoothie - would not chop ice. I tried twice - inconsistent and left many lumps! I was too afraid to run it much longer as I thought the motor would die! Mushed all other foods, even when pulsing. I guess if you are looking to make baby food, this would be your gadget, since everything that came out was mushy and icky! Most of the food sticks to the top of the machine, and it's nearly impossible to blend a consistent product.

Pros: Good smoothie maker and coffee grinder, when it's not broken.
Cons: Plastic gear drive breaks pretty easily and it's not cheap to replace.

When the Magic Bullet works, it works. But when the cheap little plastic drive gear thingy in the base that makes the blades turns breaks into several pieces (and it will, sooner or later), all you're left with is a worthless base and a box of useless containers. No more smoothies. It's a little plastic piece that probably costs 2 cents to make and should be easily replaceable because it pops right off, but the company wants to sell me a new base at $14.99 + $4.99 shipping. Maybe I overworked it, I don't know, but if you buy the Magic Bullet just be careful to use it lightly and know that it's not going to last a lifetime. Just another disposable appliance in our increasingly disposable world.

Pros:  LIKE THE MAJIC BULLET
Cons: RIPOFF POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE (J0SE)

BE CAREFUL when purchasing the majic bullet because they will sign you up for some weight loss product and keep on charging your credit card account.  When I called the company the customer service representative Jose told me that they would not refund my money nor did  they allow returns.  I called a couple of days later and spoke to JOSE again inquiring about when the product had shipped and advised him to never charge my account again, he hung up on me

ITS SAD I LIKE THE MAJIC BULLET BUT BECAUSE OF THE SCAM AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE (JOSE) I HAVE TO GIVE THIS PRODUCT A BAD RATING
