Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Magic Bullet Deluxe 22 Piece Set
Customer Review: Years of greatness so far!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this product for about 4 years now. I was hooked by the Australian commercial and got a 2 for 1 deal on it. Let me just say that this has been used at least 3 times a week in my home, mostly for smoothies. You can do a lot with the Magic Bullet very easily. My daughter likes the chocolate mousse that you can whip up in about 1 minute from start to finish. I love crushing ice and making smoothies and juices that took me a long messy time with my juicer. You do have to take care of the bullet, make sure you clean it and replace the rubber gaskets as needed... If you do that you will have a great machine that does more than what you think it can. 5 stars all the way.Customer Review: Works for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my bullet for a couple of years. Use it all the time, mostly for smoothies. Maybe the reviewer who said it leaves pieces of fruit got a bad machine, because mine works great, makes real smooth smoothies (and a smoothie should be smooth, right? :) I usually use bananas or blueberries, usually frozen, and it dissolves them all with no problem. I also use whey powder and it gets completely blended in, too. I've also used my bullet for other things, even ground almonds in it and it ground them to a fine powder. The best thing about the bullet is the ease of clean-up. This is definitely one "as seen on TV" product that lives up to the hype.Customer Review: Disappointed. Not a durable product.

This processor is cheap and ineffective. Look elsewhere. On our first unit it stripped a plastic coupling after a few minutes of use. We did get the manufacturer to send a complete new replacement unit. As you might guess the second time we used the new replacement unit it broke as well while chopping some fruit. It broke in exactly the same area - plastic drive coupling.
Whoever designed this product does not know what they are doing and they certainly did not spend time putting some production units through their paces. A decent unit would have a rubber coupling that would slip, rather than a cheap plastic coupling that breaks.
Customer Review: Accessories aren't the selling point.
Summary: 3 Stars
I've seen the infomercial, and it really shouldn't be used for ALL that it "can" be used for per the TV ad. It just isn't powerful enough to do what a blender can do; silly to think it can. However, it is useful for smoothies, but smoothies without ice. It's easier than lugging out the big blender for a quick protein shake with soft fruit or yogurt. But anything more than that -- use your blender. Would I buy it again? Probably not. But am I using what I bought? Yes. Buy it inexpensively, and it is worth it. Don't be concerned with the accessories -- they're just space hogs. One blender, one container. That's all you need.Customer Review: Works, but has some design problems
Summary: 3 Stars
Nice appliance. The multiple jars are cool. Works great with most things. I've had a couple of problems when blending drinks with ice. There is nothing to stop the blade assy from unscrewing from the jar or cup. The blade impacts with the ice and unscrews the base from whatever jar you are using. On two separate occasions I have had to do major kitchen clean up. This could be easily solved by reversing the direction the blades turn or building the jars and base with reverse threads or some sort of anti rotation feature on the base... or don't try to blend anything but crushed ice...... Other than that, this is a pretty good product...
