I've had my magic bullet awhile when I got a good deal on it.. I've just now begun making smoothies every morning with it.. I've been using fresh fruit that I've frozen (doesn't get as rock hard as store bought frozen fruit).. Mix yogurt, carrot juice, powders.. Yesterday my magic bullet starts making some weird noises so I remove it. The blade spins using a rubberized grip that sits into a hard plastic turner.. The turner completely ate up the rubber.... Lucky yesterday I found my spare blade.. Go to work with my smoothie.. This morning, same thing!! The blade didn't even make it to finish one smoothie.. Now I'm going to have to just jump back into my ninja since I know that works.. Only plus to the magic bullet was the perfect cup to go.. OH and now I have this weird white powder from the rubber all over my kitchen that I have to clean up for the second time!!
We've had 2 Magic Bullets because they seem so convenient (and they are); however, they're just not put together well. We've had the same problem with both: all of the key interlocking parts are soft rubber or hard plastic and they both wear out WAY too quickly. The power of the motor could be better too. It's a shame to say that, because the size and the concept of it working the way it should is very appealing, but they just haven't perfected it yet. And yes, we have carefully read the instructions to ensure we are using it properly.
I have had my bullet for ten years plus and i use it every day i recently had an issue with my motor and called customer service. Professional courteous and most of all informative! I highly recommend the original bullet for ease of use and efficienence! Smoothies rock!!!
A friend bought this for me a month ago and I am so happy she did. It is so easy to use. Also the gentleman who helped me with the warranty was professional and patient and courteous.
I bought it 6 months back. I am Very happy with the minimalistic design and the fact that it's not an eyesore in my kitchen unlike the old mixer grinder. Love it.
