Epinions Saved my family $864 last year alone!

by  angel4me,  Aug 9, 2008
Pros: PROS: Small size,individul size dishes,saves money,FAST, easy cleanup, multipurpose machine.
Cons: CONS: Very Loud. When being used, it brings everyone in and wanting something. :)
The Bottom Line: Well worth the money it has saved me. Great for individual dishes and kid friendly versus knives for chopping.
Review: I have had my magic bullet over a year now and will never be without it again. We (family of 4) went to *bucks at least 3-5times per week spending on avg. $24 per trip. At just the 3 days per week that comes to $864. We now make all our frappuccino's ...

Epinions Great for Casual Food

by  nicolemm,  Apr 24, 2008
Pros: Great for dips and spreads.
Cons: Doesn't crush ice completely for a drink.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this product if you like to cook and need to make small portions.
Review: I am not one to buy things from TV advertisements, however, the Magic Bullet caught my eye. I purchased this over a year and a half ago and still use it to this day. It has not replaced my blender or food processor, however, for making small portions ...

Epinions Good Unit for it's size

by  invisiblek,  Aug 10, 2008
Pros: small size powerful doubles as storage containers
Cons: doesn't chop as great as it could.
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended as I've had no issues with mine and I'm happy with my purchase. If you are looking for a mini food processor, then this isn't for you.
Review: I bought my Magic Bullet at Target about 2 years ago and I love it. I have read reviews, here and elsewhere where people have had the motors burn out, etc. I have not had that happen and the few people I've turned this on to, have not had this ...

Epinions It works great for what I bought it for

by  myopinionforu,  Feb 5, 2008
Pros: convenient and easy to clean, makes great smoothies, the size
Cons: It doesn't chop
The Bottom Line: I've had this about a year and a half and use it almost everyday. If you want it for drinks (smoothies/shakes) than I definitely recommend! Don't buy for chopping.
Review: I love my Magic Bullet. I use it almost every morning to make some sort of shake or smoothie. Chopping: I do agree that it does NOT chop. I tried putting leftover chicken and some mayo to make chicken salad like on the infomercial. Well even ...

Epinions Magic Bullet Rocks!

by  jacvilla,  Jan 24, 2008
Pros: Small, efficient, easy to use, easy to clean.
Cons: Doesn't really chop or mince like it's supposed to.
The Bottom Line: If you puree a lot or make a lot of shakes or smoothies, you absolutely NEED to have this product in your home!
Review: I have had a magic bullet for well over a year now and use it regularly almost on a daily basis. I mostly use it to puree vegetables for baby food and to make pureed sauces for pasta, dips and smoothies. I have tried to use it to chop tomatoes/onions ...

Epinions Love this thing!

by  kwcheeky,  Jan 21, 2008
Pros: Easy clean up, efficient and powerful
Cons: Noisy
The Bottom Line: Fast and efficient
Review: I love the magic bullet! I thought it was perhaps one of those "seen on tv" products that I would use once in a while, only to eventually find it dusty in the back of my pantry after the initial thrill wore off, but NO! I use my Magic Bullet EVERY day, ...

Epinions Versatile

by  dannykc413,  Apr 23, 2008
Pros: Simple to use and effective
Cons: Small design flaws in cups.
Review: I have had this unit for a few years now, and it has worked great. It is very simple and safe to use, and it is used by the entire family. There is a small design flaw in the cups though, if they are washed by machine they get warped and the caps do ...

Epinions Decent, but not like the TV ad

by  dibarra,  Dec 20, 2007
Pros: Great for smoothies, mixed drinks, whipping cream, shakes.
Cons: Does not chop like they show on TV. It's better at mixing than chopping/dicing.
The Bottom Line: I'm neutral. Not what it is hyped to be on TV, but not a bad small portion mixer/blender. NOT A CHOPPER! Probably better units available at a lesser price.
Review: Well, the TV does make this product look magical, but in reality it's just a nice mixer. I've owned this for about 2 years now and it does get used, but it doesn't have the utility the infomercial indicates. On the negative side, I would not by this ...

Epinions Great for making baby food

by  clw03,  Jan 29, 2008
Pros: small and easy to clean and use
Cons: loud and doesn't work exactly the way it claims
The Bottom Line: I think it is great for creamy creations, not for chopping veggies.
Review: So, my husband and I were enjoying a lazy afternoon in front of the television when an infomercial came on advertising a remarkable handheld blender unlike any other blender we have seen before! At first we just laughed and laughed at the wonderful ...

Epinions Choking Hazard, Beware

by  d_vet,  Jun 22, 2008
Pros: Small size, lids allow storage in blender cup, works well with herbs, sauces, dressings.
Cons: Flimsy plastic material, no control over speed, weak blending ability.
The Bottom Line: Do not recommend anything other than the small blender for light use.
Review: So we received the bullet set with the blender set as a gift, and it works well with small portions like salsas, dressings, sauces and etc. The small containers with lids conveniently double for storage as well. That's about the extent of what this ...
