Brand: Magic BulletKitchen and Housewares Reviews of Magic Bullet 22 Piece with Bonus Travel/Storage Bag
Customer Review: I can't wait for this to break so I can get myself a real blender.
Summary: 1 Stars
The only thing this is good for is making individual-sized cold blended beverages. For everything else, it is useless.
If you are unfortunate enough to get your hands on The Magic Bullet, I recommend you NEVER puree hot soups in this. In the manual, it says that when blending hot liquids, you should remove the clear centerpiece of the lid so it can vent. If you do this, you will regret it. The Magic Bullet only comes with one speed setting: obnoxiously loud and fast. So the second you turn it on, the height of the liquid goes up like crazy and everything will come flying right out of that center (yes, even if you fill it below the max line) and burn you. Not only that, the lid itself sucks, so even if you're smart and leave the centerpiece on, your intelligence is no match for the stupidity of the people who designed a lid with a spout that allows your hot soup to escape at attack you.
You can't even puree hot soup in the small blenders because the pressure will build up and push the soup through the blade. Yes, the blade sucks THAT MUCH. They're also hard to clean. Mine started leaking only after a month of use. I get drips all over the counter, and it's really gross. It's black juice, probably because foodstuff is rotting in there that I'm unable to clean out. And when you find yourself chewing on smoothies, you know they're just not worth the effort.
It's not good at chopping, it's not good at juicing, it's not good at food processing in general.
Bottom line: If you're thinking about getting a blender, don't get this one. I know it sounds really cool with all the stuff that it comes with, but half of them are useless. There are much better options out there. And if you absolutely have to have a magic bullet, get the one that only comes with the small blenders.
