I purchased a Magic Bullet at Wal-Mart. I love my bullet. It does a good job and it is easy to clean.

I have a Hamilton Beach Single Serve blender that I use for mixing my shakes with. It crushes ice better than any regular sized blender I own. I purchased it from Walmart for about $14. Yep, it's inexpensive but it works great!

J.C Penney has a Cooks Power Blender on sale in their ad today. It kind of reminds me of a Magic Bullet. Does anyone know whether this one is worth the cost even at half price? I have a very worn Krups that is in bad need of replacement.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I was worried about the Bullet- I've read bad reviews... I'll go shop around!

Consumer Reports doesn't think much of the Magic Bullet yet people seem to love theirs. What's up with that?

For anyone interested in getting a Magic Bullet, Walgreens has it on sale this week $10 off. I got a Cooks at Penneys which is similar and they have it in today's add for $29.99, which is half price. Nice to have options. Haven't had the Cooks long enough to know if I would recommend it, however.

I was at Macy's yesterday and went to check out that Magic Bullet and another similar one...

The cups seem so flimsy to me. And the funniest part was, the similar one they had on display had all broken cups!!! I thought to myself- "there's a marketing genius for ya"! LMAO

I still cannot decide... and I guess if it breaks or if you need more cups, maybe you can just call the company! :wink2:

From the posts on the boards I've been reading the past 2 years.......and from the customer reviews on Amazon.com - while MB works, it works great. But many of them don't last long, and when they quit, the customer service is non-existant. You might look over the reviews yourself and see wht you think.

I have had great luck, and so have many others I know, with the Hamilton Beach Personal Blender - $15 at WM or Target or Kitchen Connection. It crushes ice nicely and is just the right size for one shake.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
