I had seen this product's infomerical for years and had wanted for awhile. We get in smoothie kicks and I've bought shakers and even a smoothie machine with the front spout - neither worked as well as my glass blender I got back in 1992. But the problem with the blender was the cleaning! The smoothie product didn't just rinse off the glass and the bottom had to be taken off EVERYTIME I used to clean. Then I saw that the Magic Bullet blade is just one piece. I figured why not try. I liked the fact this one came with two larger smoothie mugs and lids.
The blade rinses clean everytime! The only time I've needed a brush was when I used it to blend cheese and the cheese was sticky (velvetta). I did have to brush a bit when I ground up my peppercorns but so easy! I truly use this everyday at least once.
It does take a little time for things to mix - you can't just count to 3 and it's done. Sometimes if I put in a solid on the bottom before liquid or fruit - I have to give it a shake and then blend a second time to get it all.
I gave 5 stars just because the few negatives that I will mention do not affect the overall product - just fyi.
1. There are 3 little knobs that insert into the blender to activate it. Problem is when then trying to open - to remove lids or blender base - the little knobs hurt your hand if not careful.
2. The cups/mugs are all too small. They need to be just a little bigger because by the time you account for the space displaced by the blade - sometimes my stuff was overflowing.
3.Travel lids - love but they don't screw on just right - the grooves are off just a bit that the mouth opens just to the side of the handle. (Almost over the handle - have to tighten as hard as I can so they aren't over the handle)
4.The Blender - not as big as it looks.
When researching I read some blogs and watched a couple testing videos that were critical. They had obviously not read the instructions and were solely basing their critic from comparing what they perceived they saw on TV. It's clear on tv there is a bit of editing.
Again - I love this - I just wish I could maybe buy bigger mugs with travel lids that fit better. It's so easy to clean - I rinse the blade and put the mugs in the top rack of my dish washer (not even rinsed out!).

Before this purchase, I read reviews about how poor the construction was, but I figured "there are so many more positive reviews, so I'm sure these negative reviews are a small percentage of users. But not really! Does the product do what it says? Yes. Does it work very, very well? Sure it does! Does it blend foods uniformly and clean up easily? You bet! BUT, those stupid rubber teeth on the bottom are so shallow and soft that they wear down very quickly, until they eventually (in my case about 5 months of near-daily use) no longer latch onto the teeth on the base. If you're going to write a great review on this piece of junk, wait about 8 months before writing it. Everyone loves it when its brand new, but few people love it after a year.
Not ONLY does it wear out quickly, but somehow the blade actually shoots off of the bottom of the cup because the threads on the screw that held the blade in place actually stripped off and the entire product is useless now. I have always used it within its guidelines, and never even put anything hard like nuts or ice in it. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt by considering that maybe I just got a lemon, but two of my friends had theirs break within a year too, because those cheap rubber teeth wore out and the blade came detached in one of them.
Want an example of adding insult to injury? Even with all the complaints I read about Magic Bullet's customer service and cheap design, its new product - the NutriBullet - is built the exact same way, and receiving the same awful reviews about the replacement process. I was very disappointed about this. Our little $20 version works much better than this one and we used it for 2 years before the motor just wore out.

I am a smoothie fiend. I drink lots of it. So when I saw the magic bullet recommended on a smoothie aficionado site, I decided to buy one.
I have a food processor which I also bought from Amazon aft some research, so I know it is a decent food processor at a good price. I'll compare the two.
Pros
Convenient - it is small. I can pull out the unit from the cupboard with one hand and set it up in hardly any space or time at all. I can use my hands and throw in berries and fruits, screw on the blade and blend away in less than two minutes. Clean up is easy. I can drink directly from the blending vessel once I attach the accessory. The blade and cup and accessory can be rinsed quickly directly under the running faucet.
Power - it made short work of things I wanted to blend ... Including ice cubes.
Neutral
Effectiveness - the blending vessel is small. Some food items do not want to drift towards the blades. Sometimes I have to separate the vessel give it a shake and resume blending.
Cons
Cleanliness - but wait you said ... I know what i said. The gaskets leak. I've unscrewed, rescrewed the lids, blades accessories. It leaks. It leaks especially when you're shaking it to get the food to distribute evenly. It leaks through the bottom hole where the blade connects to the motor. From there it leaks INTO the unit. I had blackberry juice running out the bottom of the unit, but not any of that was down the sides.
