Every time I see an ad for the "baby bullet"

I am reminded how disappointed I am with my "Magic Bullet".

Thankfully I didn't pay for the Magic Bullet....it was "gifted" to me.  But it sucks.  After 5 years of it collecting dust in the back of the cabinet...I am throwing it out.

Re: Every time I see an ad for the "baby bullet"

  • That's funny. We have a magic bullet and I LOVE it. I don't use it "everyday" like the ad says I would, but we keep it on the counter and probably use it several times a week. I make smoothies in it all the time, use it to make eggs and batter for things like pancakes and french toast, make fruit sorbets..I can't wait to make babyfood with it!

    This. I don't keep it on my counter (counter space is prime real estate), but it is in a cabinet within easy reach. I probably use mine 2 times a week or so. I'm on my second one. The first one died on me after 5 years or use. Sad

    I did ditch all the random lids and tops. I just have the bullet, a few of the cups, and the two blades.

    While PG, I made more than my fair share of milkshakes with it Embarrassed nom nom nom

    And, now that it's summer, I make a lot of whipped cream to put on fresh fruit.

    I looooooove my bullet!

    I just don't think it does as good as a job as my food processor.  Mine never seems to "blend" evenly and usually when I want to use it, it won't hold enough for what I'm making...

    It seems people go either way on the "magic bullet" though...some people love it, others hate it.   I'll stick with my Cuisinart I got for my wedding.  Over 6 years and still going strong.  love it.

  • My bullet stopped working in about 3 months. But for 3 months, I was having the most delicious chicken quesadillas

    That's good to know. I hem and haw over getting a baby bullet. But, with last child, I got a steamer and mini processor all on sale, along with a tiny storage "tupperware" set from Dollar General.....and spent way less on ALL of that than the cost of just the baby bullet.

    Guess it's the way to go again.....

    We use ours all the time too. Mostly for smoothies, it works really well and is a lot easier to clean up than a giant blender with 10 different pieces.

    I have one of those too....but the blender magic bullet has gotten MUCH more action in the last few months than my OTHER magic bullet.
