Awful, doesn't work on frozen anything

I bought this last year for college since I had to start "The Virgin Diet." I was really excited not to have to lug around a huge blender and the package clearly stated it could make smoothies. So I finally got to using it this month and the first day it took me over an hour (this is giving the bullet a break after 40 seconds of on usage because it cannot run for longer than a minute at a time) after this time, my fruit was still not chopped up. I had to eat my acai bowl with hard frozen fruit in it. I tried to make a smoothie next with only 1/4 a cup of frozen fruit...still frozen fruit does not chop up. I left my frozen fruit out for 2 hours while I ran hoping that may be the problem, still, my fruit does not chop up. I had the NINJA at home and truly wish I had spent the extra money on that then this awful thing. I can't do anything with it, it's just as loud as a blender, and the results are just basically what you started with with a little mush here and there. Extremely upset over this product.

Does NOT crush ice!

I got my Magic Bullet as a Christmas gift! I bought the ice crusher blade separately because I love a good shake for breakfast/lunch. All this thing does is spin the ice around, and the longer I blend it the base starts to smell like it's burning! So I blend as long as I can and then take a spoon to get out all the chunks. I hate it! My big old bulky blender works way better. What a disappointment!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I use to love my bullet

I got this for my wedding two years ago and started using it recently. I loved it!! It was a perfect way to get an easy breakfast. It started to make this awful noise when I would push down and come to find out it started eating the rubber on my blades. I am so bummed. Of course I didn't send my warranty in after I got it or I'd be covered.

love this

I have been using this for many years, first for myself and now it has been used as a puree blender for my Mom who has ALZ and cannot eat foods that are not pureed. It is awesome for blending a small amount of anything for smoothies or whatever. The only negative thing is that I love the flat blade over the cross blade which is not included in the 11 piece set and I had to separately order. I still have my original Magic Bullet from many years ago, used almost every day , and the only thing I replaced were the blades(easy to find and order). I gave this one away to a friend who needed it for her mother with issues in eating, and ordered this new one. For things you don't need a large blender for to chop up , this is handy and affordable and saves time and space. Easy to clean too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have never used for anything but smoothies made from milk, ice cream,instant breakfast, and half a soft banana cut in small pieces. Started leaking fluid down through the motor each time I used it.

Cracked Blending head

I have used my unit for awhile. I have always expected the seal to give out or get old. I NEVER EXPECTED the blade to crack, almost break off into my food.
Please understand, I never expected this thing to last FOREVER, just upsetting.
Thank you for your time.

Great idea, works well, one big drawback

The problem exists when the seal gives way and liquid is expelled. You must be very, very careful not to over fill the container. This is sometimes hard to do when mixing liquid with solids like vegetable pieces. In my experience, this is going to happen sometime to most users. The problem is a design flaw that drains any liquid that overflows right on through the electrics, motor and all. There is no way to clean this out and so you eventually get a bacterial quagmire that smells to high heaven. They should have allowed for some other drainage path that could be easily cleaned up. As it is, my bullet turned into bacterial mush after about 6 months. I know it was my fault for letting the seal fail, but, as I said, it is going to happen sooner or later to every user. Please re-design the overflow system. I won't buy a new Nutri Bullet, love it though I did, until this basic design flaw is corrected. At that point, I would recommend the Nutri Bullet to others, but until then, I cannot.
