I had one of the original Bullets and a friend gave me the new modern version and we love it however to register the warranty you have to provide the receipt. If someone gives you a present it difficult to ask them to show how much they paid for the product because it was a gift. Therefore we could not complete the warranty registration card. There has to be a better way.
I bought this last year for college since I had to start "The Virgin Diet." I was really excited not to have to lug around a huge blender and the package clearly stated it could make smoothies. So I finally got to using it this month and the first day it took me over an hour (this is giving the bullet a break after 40 seconds of on usage because it cannot run for longer than a minute at a time) after this time, my fruit was still not chopped up. I had to eat my acai bowl with hard frozen fruit in it. I tried to make a smoothie next with only 1/4 a cup of frozen fruit...still frozen fruit does not chop up. I left my frozen fruit out for 2 hours while I ran hoping that may be the problem, still, my fruit does not chop up. I had the NINJA at home and truly wish I had spent the extra money on that then this awful thing. I can't do anything with it, it's just as loud as a blender, and the results are just basically what you started with with a little mush here and there. Extremely upset over this product.
I had to replace the blade attachment piece only 3 months after buying this. It wasn't because of the blade, it was the rubber grip underneath the blade attachment as other consumers have mentioned. The blade would just spin using the rubber grip and eventually ate away at the grip that fits into a cheap plastic piece in the motor part of the blender. After replacing that, a few months later the cheap plastic piece disintegrated into white powder (as others have mentioned) and the rubber grip also eventually was eaten away by the plastic piece. The whole blender is now garbage and cannot be used. A waste considering the blade is perfectly fine and so are the plastic cups. Very disappointing.
This blender is fantastic. I had quite a few before this one and they always got some ingredients stuck so they wouldn't get blended. Leading me to try dangerous things like pushing down while the blender was operating. This one... I mean, you just pull off the container, shake if there's still some stuff that needs to go down to the blades and you just put it back.
I owned a Magic Bullet for 3 years that worked wonderful. I got a new one for Christmas that I have not been able to use because the parts that turn it disintegrated the first time I tried it.
I threw away my five year old Ninja when I bought a Magic Bullet and regret it. The Magic Bullet will not blend frozen fruit, not even frozen bananas, or ice-the Ninja did. My daughter said the Bullet smoothie was the worst she ever had because of all the large chunks.
