Got this for $29 at Macy's. Put ice strawberry kiwi nectar by syntrax with a little water. So good and much thicker and icer. A little frothy too. Getting sleeved next Monday at Einstein in Philly w Dr Trang!! Last week preop

Do you have a Target nearby? I just got one last night on clearance for $13.88. Came with 2blades, 3 cups and like five lids. Check it out!

Maybe u can return the Macy's product... I am waiting to see if this one works for me. I bought the Hamilton beach at target and it wouldn't work properly so I took it back. I really want the bullet, everyone I know that has one is very satisfied but I didn't want to shell out $40 just yet. ( that is really $50 at bedbathbeyond with a 20% off coupon).

Good luck with surgery, mine is Tues. The 9th. I'm 'nesting' right now. Cleaning house, doing laundry, making jello! Ttyl

Thx for the tip! I've been looking for a "bullet" type blender for work, and this fit the bill perfectly. I got it at Macys, on sale for $30, then I used their 10% off coupon for a grand total of $28 and some change...it has 3 cups (one tall, one short, and a personal cup); 2 blades (chopping and blending, I think?). Here's the deal: I don't expect this thing to last a long time. I'm not planning to use it everyday. I wanted something cheap that I could keep at work to blend a lunch smoothie here and there. It looks exactly like a magic bullet, which I've owned, and LOVED, until the housing broke. I have a Ninja that I use at home, and it blends smoothies perfectly in the single serving cup.

There seems to be a few companies that make the same kind of thing...all cheap, all similar.

Thanks to the OP for letting me know about the BELLA! (Btw, there were 4 colors to choose from...i got lime green: it seemed perky! )
