Magic Bullet Blender Review

It comes in this silver, green and red. It measures 12 inches tall and about 5 inches wide. The base with the tall cup measures 2.5 pounds. Included in the box is the base, 1 tall cup that holds 19 ounces, 2 mugs that hold 18 ounces each, 2 comfort lip rings that make it easier to drink out of the containers, 3 resealable lids, 1 stainless steel cross blade, a ten second recipe book and instruction manual. The Magic Bullet is BPA free. This unit is supposed to chop, mix and blend. Let’s test it out.

REVIEW of Ninja Master Prep:

There are two ways to operate the Magic Bullet. You can either hold down and let go to pulse or push down and turn, that will blend automatically, you don’t have to hold it down. To stop blending, just turn back and it stops.

First I’ll make a smoothie. I’m using 1 banana a few strawberries, little honey, 4 ice cubes and milk. I’ll let it blend automatically by pushing down and turning to lock.

Let’s try frozen fruit - mangoes, my favorite, a little milk, sugar. If this works, it could be an easy dessert.

Next I’ll chop some walnuts. These are great for your baked goods or adding to oatmeal. I’ll pulse a few times. Hold the base with one hand and pulse.

Let’s make a fresh salsa. I’m putting in cherry tomatoes, onion about 1 inch pieces which is the recommended size for most food processors, 1 serrano chili cut in half, cilantro, lime juice and salt. I’ll pulse this.

Now I’ll make a white bean dip, it’s perfect for a healthy snack. I’ll process two cloves of garlic first. Now I’ll add the drained white cannelini beans, I’m using a 15 oz can, lemon juice, flat leaf parsley, salt and a little bit of water to blend. I’ll pulse this.

Do not blend hot liquids in this unit. You can heat up a food in the microwave with the tall cup only with no lid and no blade. Don’t heat for more than 2 minutes in the microwave. As for cleanup, the blade is not dishwasher safe, wash it by hand with warm soapy water. The cups and lids can be washed on the top rack in the dishwasher or hand wash which is what I do.

I've had one of these for a few years. Rather than stopping and shaking, just pick up the whole unit while running and shake it. You can also lean a bit sideways while shaking which allows much better blending action. Solves the nut grinding issue mentioned in this video.

I bought this the other day and came up with a really good smoothie ! You should try it
Hand full of blueberries
3 strawberries
3 frozen pineapple chunks
2 spoons Greek yogurt
Splash of vanilla
Tablespoon of honey
3 cubes of ice
Splash of orange juice
It's the best I ever made lol did get a few crunches but so worth it

I've used mine to make cheesecakes! A bar of cream cheese, some sugar, milk vanilla, brown sugar ... chop the cream cheese into thirds, and mix! After mixing, just pour into prepared pie shells and cook!!! So easy!!

I purchased a Magic Bullet yesterday. I made myself a smoothie with 1 banana, frozen strawberries and ice. It was perfection. I used the pulse method, not on automatic. I didn't have any chunks of fruit nor of ice. To me it was a good product. :)

Even if you have to take out the cup to shake it around a bit, it's still better than trying to shake up my 1.5L glass pitcher blender!

Not a great advertisement for this product... This was helpful... These kind of honest reviews are what we need..

It's actually an interesting matter of physics, it's not necessarily what you put into it but the air that surrounds it. When you have such a fast spinning blade it creates a vortex that pulls air into It. If you're blending something that's viscous enough to close off that vortex the blade will Be stuck in an air bubble and no more food will be processed. Using the Infomercial as reference almost everything that they made as an example was completely jam packed into the cup they Were using

Here's a tip for smoothies. Don't use ice. Use frozen fruit. I buy a bunch of bananas and once they are ripe, I peel and freeze whole in gallon sized freezer bag. When ready to blend, a frozen banana easily breaks in half. Buy bagged frozen berries at store in the freezer section. Add yogurt, protein, and water, for perfect smoothie.

If at first you don't succeed


add more liquids

i often make sorbets and smoothie bowls in mine and i get quite a nice result using frozen fruit and a wee bit of hazelnut milk. although it does get stuck i either just pulse it or use the jug and plunger attachment to push it down. if that doesn’t work i just use a spoon to move it about. i’ve had mine for around 8 years now and i think it’s great 😃

I got it recently, and have used it only a couple of times but what I figured out is, this one works well with good amount of liquid only. I tried the garlic with some water and got a decent puree. Magic bullet is more of a blender than a chopper.

Those were the biggest cherry tomatoes I’ve ever seen!

[morganhardisty]

The little motor smoked and died after the 3rd use, so I took the base appart, cut the cord off and removed the plastic cooling fan from the splined shaft and Re-assembled without the base, and now I just connect my DeWalt cordless drill to the splined shaft and it will blend frozen fruit with no problems.

The motor the Magic Bullet came with is just not powerful enough.
Thanks for your honest review!

The cross blade is not the blade you need to mince your garlic. Its the flat blade that works best! And chopping your nuts... if it was the smaller container you used it may have processed the walnut halves more evenly.

I personally love the magic bullet, smoothies are frothy and delicious and it makes the best guacamole I've ever had.

[mikedebruyn]

This is a REAL review. Thanks. I like that you did not ramble and that you really tried to make it work. Obviously that if you don't add enough water the thing is not going to do well. And that salsa was more soup than a dip. I think it is basically a smoothie machine. I can also see it working well for soups but then only if you are not trying to chop onions or garlic. Good review.

❤We love our magic bullet! We mainly use it to make smoothies and to grind coffee beans (using the small cup) to make a pot of coffee. It's space saving, light weight, quick & easy to use, AND it has held up great for us for many years.

[WVMUSIC_NL]

You should slice some veggies in pieces before chopping them for use in the salsa instead of putting whole tomatoes in the glass. I have this machine as well and lightly shake the blender up and down while chopping does work very well too.

2020 You still have to take it off shake it up MULTIPLE times! Review SPOT ON!!!

[paulfadden]

3:00 if you freeze the fruit, you get a smoothie ice cream! It has much less sugar than normal ice cream and much healthier!

[dustyrhodes]

How do you expect the food on the top to drop to the bottom when there is not enough water to move the bottom stuff out of the way? It's like trying to fall to the center of the earth with all this dirt under your feet.
