I just bought one and I love it.  It's a 30 second cleanup.

My favorite recipe is frozen fruit, yogurt, and skim milk.  Literally a 90 calorie 2 cup serving of "ice cream".

I just got mine last week and am totally addicted to it!  It is a lazy girl's DREAM...I hate washing dishes and I also like "fast" food.  This ROCKS!  I'm trying your "recipe" tonight :).

I don't have one, but I swear I'm so in love with this thing I have the infomercial memorized.
Did you know they now make a Magic Bullet To Go! It's battery powered =]

What's a Magic Bullet? And where do I get one? (I'm in Wales... explains everything lol)

Magic Bullet= best thing ever. It's like a small blender and you can do all kinds of crazy things with it- grate cheese, chop garlic, smoothies, etc

It's also really good for dicing carrots to put in wraps and such, and making vegetable soup :)

be careful!! i tried to crush ice cubes in my magic bullet and it broke :( 

 

i miss it though!

I don't know, my $20 blender/food processor works just fine for smoothies.  There is a different brand of the Magic Bullet sold in grocery stores for a lot cheaper too. 

i love my bullet its great even for baby food making- however i dont think its super great for large ice cube bc it cant ever crush all them there are always chunks and then i wry the motor is goin to break if i try-  but it is awesome!

I LOVE mine.  I am on my second one, though.  On the first one, the motor twirly thing in the base melted!  So, yeah, when it says not to operate it continously for longer than 30 seconds . . . listen!  :-)

It does some things REALLY well, and some things . . . not so much.  Excellent, as mentioned, for quick smoothies, milkshakes, quickie fruit sorbet, whips cream (Innocent), quickie homemade salsa, purees anything soft with a bit of liquid added, quickie beverage blender/mixer, etc., etc.  Bigger jobs, chopping jobs, extra-thick liquids or substances, not so much, and it can be fussy and is extremely user-technique dependent, especially with chopping jobs.  You can EASILY end up with a puree before you blink.  And, it doesn't blend top to bottom extremely well without a lot of manipulation and, oftentimes, a lot of BS scooping out the "done" part and then finishing off the "not done yet" part.

As far as ice, if you have overly dense ice, such as traditional "cube trays" or most ice makers, it struggles a bit, needs a lot of added circulating liquid "help," and you may still end up with stray chunks.  "Party ice" works great, though, and during the summer months, I try to keep it on hand.  Frozen fruit can be substituted a lot of times (particularly in smoothies), and you may not even need to add extra ice to get the "slush." 

It's GREAT for a lot of things and worth having, but don't expect it to work a miracle for everything, and don't expect it do to, ahem, everything they say and show that it does, exactly like they say and show it, on the infomercial.  In my experience, it doesn't, exactly.  Still love it, though.  I've seen them at Wal-Mart and Target.  Ordered mine direct online.  Can usually get something "free" when you order direct.

ahh i want one! quicker, fresher, faster smoothies would be great!

I dont have one but my brothers fiance has one and she loves the thing.
