I've heard of them, but aren't they just another small blender? I own a Bosch Kitchen Machine, which has a gazillion attachments, including a great blender. Do I need to get a Magic Bullet too? Why?

I use mine every day for mixing my protein shake. But if you already have an appliance that will mix for you, don't bother...except that it's easy to use, easy to clean, and is perfect for a single serving size. I also used it for chopping nuts and the kids use it for milkshakes and smoothies.

I just bought the magic bullet yesterday! I can't wait to use it!

I never bought one.

I love mine, but I think if you have something that does the same thing, go with that! I like it most for protein shakes!

Actually, I bought one yesterday at costco. (I figure I need to do SOMETHING to get ready for this trip I'm about to take. The wait is making me nuts!! :biggrin0:) I haven't opened it yet, and if I don't need it, I'll return it.

But the packaging does make it look very convenient. My Bosch has a lot of attachments, but seems like it'd be harder to clean. We'll see.

Well Dave, look at it this way. You can take it to work, traveling, inlaws house, wherever! It's very portable and small and easy to pack up and go... take your protein powder, a thing of milk, and you at least have protein shakes to fall back on if you're stuck. Have fun using it!

I have one and found that it's alot easier to clean and when it comes to making a protein shake for one... well it's just alot easier.

I love my Magic Bullet. When I was on liquids I used both my blender (when I wanted to use lots of ice) and the MB. But now that I'm on pureed foods I don't see how I could live without it! (I promise, I am not a paid spokesperson.) The small cup that comes with it is perfect for this. And best of all, clean up is waaaay easier and quicker than using a blender or a hand/wand blender. Oh, and you have less dishes to wash because you can eat out of the cup, too. Bonus! :thumbup:

I received the MB as a gift about 2 years ago, used it once or twice and put it away. I pulled it out before surgery during the pre-op liquid diet to mix the protein shakes.....I love it, I can mix and drink from the same jar, and clean up is so easy. At the low price, even if you just use it during the soft/mushie stage it's worth it.

I think I'm going to go invest in one. The big bulky puree machine I have seems like a bit much right now, with cleaning especially. I'm even getting tired of cleaning my blender all the time. I'm going to need it a lot and I really don't want to have to clean the blender or puree'r 4-5 times per day! :biggrin0:

I think I'm going to get one. I'm tired of constantly cleaning my blender jar. Is it any quieter than a regular blender?

I love mine. It's great for protein shakes, and for making mushies.

get it girls. it's cheap enough that even if you don't like it... not a huge waste of purchase. it IS loud, like a blender or something, but it whips up your shake in 10 seconds. If you add ice, you'll hear the ice being chopped up, and that will be loud. no biggie though, don't worry. my biggest complaint is I have a hard time unscrewing it after mixing! anyone have a tip? I screw it on nice and tight so it doesn't leak, but then when it's done, I can't get it off! lol! I have one of those rubber gripper things to help open jars, and I usually have to use that. i'm making my first chocolate protein shake this morning for breakfast in my mb!

I just got mine and I've used it 4 times since this morning, lol. Clean up is a snap. Another plus is the steamer lids so you can cook your food in the microwave and then put reg lid on to save the leftovers in the fridge.

Just started on shakes and i LOVE mine.
