Magic Bullet 22 Piece with Bonus Travel/Storage Bag

 (4 customer reviews)

The Magic Bullet 22 Piece with Bonus Travel/Storage Bag is a handy set of kitchen tools rolled into one motor base device. The initial concept of the product is ingenious, but the actual product is cheaply produced plastic with small tangs that will eventually break off rendering the unit less and less effective as time passes. The motor unit must be used as instructed or it will overheat and fail.

The mugs, and blender portion have small plastic tabs which lock it into the blade device, while the blade device loosely snaps into the motor base.

The reduced price and travel bag were the selling features for me. All 22 parts can be stored and remain clean, ready for use, while in the travel bag. The travel bag is quite large though and will require ample out of sight storage space.

Although the plastic parts are meant to be dishwasher safe, I do not recommend that they be washed in an automatic dishwasher due to the extremes in water hardness,...Read more

Although I don't find that this product does everything the infomercial says (What does?) I find it to be a really useful kitchen tool that I use everyday.

The flat blade makes an excellent spice and coffee grinder. The flat blade also whips aiole/maynaise and whip cream quite well.

The cross blade (regular belnder blade) does a fantastic job of blending and chopping smoothies, bread crumbs, nuts, hard cheeses and purees for sauces.

I like the individual cups as they allow me to mix or grind several different concoctions without having to clean a blender in between.

All in all a great multipurpose tool that doesn't take up much space on the counter.

The only thing this is good for is making individual-sized cold blended beverages. For everything else, it is useless.

If you are unfortunate enough to get your hands on The Magic Bullet, I recommend you NEVER puree hot soups in this. In the manual, it says that when blending hot liquids, you should remove the clear centerpiece of the lid so it can vent. If you do this, you will regret it. The Magic Bullet only comes with one speed setting: obnoxiously loud and fast. So the second you turn it on, the height of the liquid goes up like crazy and everything will come flying right out of that center (yes, even if you fill it below the max line) and burn you. Not only that, the lid itself sucks, so even if you're smart and leave the centerpiece on, your intelligence is no match for the stupidity of the people who designed a lid with a spout that allows your hot soup to escape at attack you.

You can't even puree hot soup in the small blenders because the pressure will...Read more
