Magic Bullet Blender Review

Kitchen Collection – Factory Outlet Prices

Everyone loves the Magic Bullet Blender infomercial. It’s a classic in cheesy infotainment, so I could not have been more excited to get my own Magic Bullet Blender. I actually cheated a little and picked one up from the store instead of ordering one from tv, they are everywhere now a days. My first impressions were pretty good.

Unfortunately the store package did not come with all the extras you get from the TV offer like the juicer, or blender, but that’s ok, I was more interested in the smaller applications like drink mixing anyway. Speaking of drink mixing, the comfort rings that you add to the cups to hide the screw threads were not nearly as comfortable as the commercial leads you to believe, however once you get past the initial adjustment the glasses are pretty easy to drink out of.

I used my Magic Bullet for everything from chopping vegetables to chopping meat and making really smooth smoothies and milkshakes, it was awesome the things I was able to do, I really didn’t think such a small thing would have this much power. I tried all the things that manufacturer recommended and everything turned out just as good as they said it would which was a very pleasant surprise.

Sadly my love affair with the Magic Bullet Blender ended nine short weeks into our relationship. For some odd reason the manufacturer decided to put a plastic disk right below the plastic driver that spins to spin the blades in the cup (the weird crown looking thing on the base module). Naturally like all plastics that experience friction they began to heat up and eventually smell like melting plastic. I’m sure you can guess what happened next. The driver fused to the plastic disk, and the Magic Bullet Blender was no longer operational.

I am not sure if this is an isolated incident or a larger problem, I never replaced my Magic Bullet Blender, however until the malfunction I used it every other day, and found it very handy.
