I want to go on record that I LOVE Magic Bullet! I have always kept one on hand as I make a daily protein shake for my husband. I put nuts, frozen fruit, a slip of numeric and ginger root; and whatever fresh veggies, fruit and supplements I choose to put in. I fill it with water and off we go! I appreciate the easy use and clean up. It is perfect for individual servings. I have larger machines, but, while easy to clean also, this is perfect to mix and serve a single serving. I cannot say enough how much I like this. The motor gets used so much,I don't mind buying a new blender part every so often. As long as they make this, it will have a place in my kitchen!
Exchanged twice because the seal after a few uses kept coming out when u crewing the top. It works great but having to continue to have to replace the seal is time consuming. So now I'm taking it back again and try to upgrade.
I bought this about 10 weeks ago for making smoothies and to hold us over until I had gotten my countertop blender from storage after a move. I've used this only for smoothies and it was doing a wonderful job. It crushed ice (that I had smashed into shards already before adding, and powered through frozen strawberries and bananas that were cut into chunks before freezing. I only used this once a day and not even every day. Then after about smoothie #27, it stopped working. I would not buy this again as it did not last. I expected this to at least be good for a year and here we are, not even 3 months in, and it's a goner. It had great weight and stayed put on the counter and did not walk while in use. I was simple to use and easy and fast to clean. I loved it until it stopped working. This was a fantastic personal blender, until it wasn't.
So I seen the commercials a long time ago when T.V was still a thing. Never did I expect to be this unhappy. I got a Ninja on offer up and the blade got dull so I decided to try a Bullet. both products where brand new. Hands down the Ninja kicks rump and Bullet can't cut it literally. I'm drinking my smoothie now with strings of celery in my mouth and I am so grossed out I had to write a review while I was experiencing this distastful outcome. I don't like to have large pieces of veggies in my cup, small pulp is fine. Kale, celery, beets, spinach, pineapple, carrots, apples and banana with a spoonful of sugar per cup. thats how I get my vitamins but I rather not taste the things I cannot stand to taste like celery strings. Please improve the blade on this product and send me one. Otherwise I wasted my money or have to sale it to the next ignorant person who doesn't know what to expect. Not trying to critisize because I gave two stars for presentation. Packaging was awesome, and supplies are too. The blade and motor seems like its cheap and not equipped to blend as needed. Food for thought.
