That's about the extent of what this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~434661068420 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:02:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_434661068420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_433804447364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author artapo - The ribbing inside the mixing container is not pronounced enough to stop the spinning of the contents you are trying to blend. Therefore, instead of blending it just gives your food a fast swirl with minimal... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433804447364 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:48:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433804447364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_429457378948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author aluring2 - Don't buy it. Put your money away. I bought this for myself for Christmas. All the commercials finally got to me. I thought what the heck, I'll try it out. This is a piece of junk. There's really no other way to put it. The cups are very small.

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... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427494379140 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:59:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427494379140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_427353280132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dannykc413 - 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... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427353280132 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:48:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427353280132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420839919236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author logdog1 - I bought the Magic Bullet about 2 years ago. I thought it looked so versatile on TV but in reality it's only good for making smoothies. I tried the soups and some other recipes that came with the system but nothing really blends all that well. About six... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420839919236 Tue, 4 Mar 2008 17:57:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420839919236?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417275874948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author myopinionforu - 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... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417275874948 Tue, 5 Feb 2008 21:03:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417275874948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416745754244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author janer7591 - I bought this product at Bed, Bath, and Beyond with a coupon. I used it to make vegetable puree, and it worked well at first. Within a month, the crossblade broke. This is the blade used for practically everything.

Of course you can't believe everything you see on tv. I have tried to use it to chop onions...they turn to mush. I have tried to use it to grate cheese...it turns to mush.

I wanted something relatively cheap that I could use at our cabin during the summer. I had a low end blender, but that wasn't very good at blending frozen berries in smoothies. After watching the infomercial I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~414316072580 Sat, 12 Jan 2008 16:29:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_414316072580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411728711300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jackie5681 - More of a food processor - purees everything even when you just want it to chop - we've tried to chop olives etc several ways and it always purees them...ugh.... Not worth the money! They must have a magical touch on the infomercial like... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411728711300 Sat, 22 Dec 2007 21:36:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411728711300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411497696900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dibarra - 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... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411497696900 Thu, 20 Dec 2007 21:16:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411497696900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_409230151300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author penwright - We received this as a gift from our daughter. Within a month, it stopped working. A puff of smoke and it was gone! At first, it was great to grind coffee beans, which is what we used it most for. We also used it to make meat salads and to combine foods... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~409230151300 Mon, 3 Dec 2007 06:17:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_409230151300?linkin_id=8003929
