Magic Bullet High Speed Blender Mixer System

Pros: It's a great shake maker when it works.
Cons: Doesn't work longer enough

I purchased a magic bullet set from Bed Bath and Beyond the last week in June. Now it is 5 weeks later and it has stopped working at all. The motor won't turn on.The Company won't honor the warranty. Tonight I went to Walmart and purchased another one and this one won;t turn on at all. I'm in the North Carolina mountains and Walmart is a tough 27 mile trip but tomorrow I will return the second Magic Bullet. I give up!

Pros: Nothing positive.
Cons: It`s too loud, breakable, it can do only smoothies.

I used it only 5-7 times, and it JUST STOPPED WORKING. Now I can only hear some dying motor sound and the smell is unbearable.

Pros: fine for chopping vegitables like carrots, cellery. blends, wips liquids for shakes and smoothies
Cons: turns onions, lettuce to mush. cost more to fix then buy.

i bought the magic bullet 6 months ago. the plastic cross blade broke. the company will not sell you the $5.00 part that can be easily unscrewed from the motor for replacement.
they will however sell you a replacement power base for $29.99 plus $9.99 shipping! this does not include the cost to send back the broken power base. total cost: about $50. the cost of a new blender with all of the attachments that come with it. totle rip off for something that did not need to be replaced.

Pros: Size, convenience, ease of cleaning.
Cons: Could be more powerful, chunky blending.

I bought this one, my first "As Seen on TV" thing ever. It was great for fluffing up eggs, but as a smoothie maker, it didn't do so well. It simply didn't have the power. It was extremely easy to clean. I popped the cups in the dishwasher on the top rack. The rest of it was sponge clean. A lot of what I tried to chop or blend came out chunky. Personally, I needed a stronger motor, so bought another machine with higher wattage at a local store. I can't not recommend it because for some people, it would do perfectly. I never tried mixed drinks, but did try to make a smoothie, and it came out, as noted above, chunky, without the ice being crushed properly. I did not try the juicer attachment, so cannot comment on that.

Pros: Easy to clean, small space requirements, individual sized smoothies
Cons: Not the best at mixing things, and purees everything since it has one speed FAST!

So it was a toss up, I could keep using the big blender for smoothies for two or I could get one of these things. The advantage to the bullet was we didn't have to have the same smoothie. There isn't much my wife and I disagree on these days but ingredients in food is certainly one of them. So this was a good match for us. So far it has been a great little product, we have made a few dozen smoothies with it, no problem so far, but it is clear that this isn't the best blender in the world. It definitely has its flaws, such as not getting all the food ground up, and the like. I have also used it to make my wife eggs which it is great at. Completely evenly mixed eggs are not easy to make, but this make it very easy. Omelets are easy to make with this machine.

Like others have said though, if you are looking for a basic food processor to make things like salsa or the like, this probably isn't a good match. Unless you are like me and don't like your salsa chunky ;-).

Pros: Makes everything! works great!
Cons: none at all!

I am so happy I bought this item. I love it. It works wonderfully. It chops, grates, everything the infomercial said. I was suprized at how well it did these things as most of the time infomercials are only designed to sell, and thier products are not as good as they say. This one however hit the nail on the wood. It works very well. I use it to make ice blended cappicino and smoothies every morning. It was worth the price.

Pros: good for beverages
Cons: a blender does just as well if not better

magic bullet just doesn't do anything for me. it just doesn't move me. the magic bullet is like the mike jones of kitchen appliances. big mouth but not saying too much. the magic bullet thinks its amazing when it doesnt do anything great. its aight for beverages but other appliances do better than it. for example grinding coffee, it works ok with the bullet but does better with a coffee grinder and so on. the blender doesnt move me because i already have one. the juicer function is a joke for the most part. and these things are what $100? i can get a cheap blender for $20 that works just as fine because the magic bullet is dime a dozen--does well on beverages but nothing else. not to mention it sets on fire after a minute of use.

Pros: Makes dips and cold ice drinks in minutes!
Cons: Instead of chopped, It's smushed.

I bought the Magic Bullet for my husband to make smoothies and stuffs. Turns out I use it more than he does! I can make salsa in minutes! Just cut the onion in 4, same with the tomato, put a little cilantro, garlic and salt...process it a few times and it's done! We also use it for making Icee for the kids and Ice Mochas. I wouldn't recommend it for chopping though. It will look like it's smushed more than it is chopped. But overall, we enjoy this Magic Bullet!

Pros: Fast Easy to Clean Portable
Cons: Very noisy No mention of worldwide outlets.

Hi,

In just 2 uses to cross blade to make smoothies, I noticed that rubber fitting used to lock the blade with the power base went blunt. Shocked I was and not knowing what to do ,i noticed further that rubber fitting was somewhat churned with the high speed motor.
Does some one faced the similar problem like this before...

Pros: The Magic Bullet is easy to clean and easy to use.
Cons: It always leaves chunks of ice, apple or whatever.

This Magic Bullet looks so tempting on the infomercial. They obviously have a souped up version because mine does not have the same power. It's not a terrible product, but it's not worth the money. I bought it because I'm single and trying to improve my diet. However, this product does not work well. It took me about an hour to grind a loaf of homemade bread into bread crumbs. I had to chop the bread into small cubes and still the Magic Bullet would leave one or two pieces of rounded bread chunks. It also didn't completely blend the ice cubes when I attempted to make a smoothie. The only thing I made successfully is chocolate mousse.

The Magic Bullet is so loud, it hurts my ears.

Today I tried to make chicken salad. The chicken turned to paste and the apple and onion did not get mixed in completely, even after tapping it down to the blades. I do not recommend this product because it does not work as advertised. Not even close.

Pros: Good idea
Cons: bad engineering. Not real durable!

I got the Magic Bullet only a month ago, but only been using it for the last 2 weeks. Also, I have only been making smoothies with it. That's it! It just broke tonight. The plastic gearing in the base unit shredded! It was either a design flaw or cheap materials.

Pros: Fun to use. Good for drinks, eggs, a few other things.
Cons: Plastic parts break easily and mysteriously. NONE to LOUSY customer service.

I received my Magic Bullet as a Christmas gift. We enjoy using it for eggs, mocha lattes (using a mix, milk, and ice. Did a surprisingly good job grinding coffee beans. I've made pesto and alfredo sauces successfully.

The problem--the black part of the cross blade cracked. I had been in contact before, and again about this, with Homeland Housewares, the "Official" MB people. The only thing they have to say is that they have no record of my purchasing it from them. They are not help at all. I was able to get a new crossblade, large cup, and lids from e-bay. They arrived yesterday. Tonight, I found that the plastic on the flat blade is also cracked, in the same shape and place as the crossblade.

Another problem--the plastic tabs on the drink mugs do not fit into the slots on the base, so they are useless to mix drinks in.

Be careful of the recipes in their book--I had a major overflow while making a coffee drink.

If this was purchased on e-bay, perhaps they are factory defects. I'll be interested to see how long my replacement crossblade lasts.

Pros: It's small and convenient for processing single serving Drinks.
Cons: Irreplaceable plastic parts that break, leaving you with all those added accessories useless.

If you read below you'll see that at least two other people experienced the same problem my family had with this unit. There is a plastic gear on the top of the base unit that transfers power from the motor unit to the cutting blades. It can and does shatter into pieces. Customer service can not or will not offer a replacement gear and instead they offer to sell you a new base unit for $30.00 plus $10.00 Shipping. This unit is over priced, breaks easily, and emits a burning smell if you run it continuously for over 30 seconds. Just to let you know, this unit was adult operated and never abused. The gear broke while mixing a protein shake (milk and powder) I wasn't grinding apples or crushing ice like they claim is possible with this unit.

Pros: Easy to clean!
Cons: Sometimes gets messy during use.

I'm usually leary of believing infomercials, but I really loved this one. I considered doing the 2-for-1 deal with the juicer and full size blender attachments, but couldn't spend the $100 on it. I read up on it and found that the full size blender and the juicer didn't seem to work well anyway, so I didn't really need them. I saw it at Wal-Mart for $50 and decided to just go for it.

I use this nearly every day! I make milk shakes, smoothies, and baby food all the time. I've had it a couple months and use it all the time, and today was the first day that it has ever overheated. I was blending pot roast in it and I think I just overdid it. It's back to working just as good as new now, though.

It's quick, takes no time to clean, and doesn't take up much space on my countertop. I love this thing!

Pros: Super easy to use
Cons: Does not blend chunky ingredients well

Even though I say Not So Good about the Magic Bullet, I still like using it. It makes fantastic frozen drinks, easily crushing ice cubes into a snow-cone type consistency. It is also great for making small portion packaged puddings or mousse. Just dump everything into one of the plastic mugs, blend, chill, eat. Perfect.
The one thing I don't like about the Bullet is that it does not mix larger quantities well (i.e. fill the cup partially with chunky ingredients like tomato and onion). For example, making guacamole. The Bullet will leave the bottom portion pureed pretty well, but the top ingredients still chunky. You have to take and mix it with a spoon or fork to get the chunky stuff toward the blade edge, then blend again.
The magic bullet is easy to clean and does not take up much counter space. You do have to be careful to screw the blade on tightly before you blend or you'll have leakage since you have to flip the cup over to blend.
Even with the issues, it is still a nice little appliance that I would buy again.
