Does The Magic Bullet WORK?!

[.ridiculous]

Going back to college and want to use it for shakes.

primary concern how long it will last when blending ice and oatmeal a lot

thanks bromies.

I have an off brand one, and it does not blend ice very well at all. Supposedly has the same motor and blades. I would be suprised if a magic bullet is much better at repetitively blending ice.

That being said,. it is great for everything else!

This, i have the actual magic bullet brand, it's terrible when it comes to ice, but for everything else it is awsome. I use mine everyday.

They hold up pretty well. It does really good with the oatmeal but Ice is kinda blah

I've gone through two of them, I like them a lot but I think the parts could be better. On the bottom of the grinder cup or whatever you call it, it has these things that get spun by the actual magic bullet to make it grind. Whatever that part is called it seems to wear and eventually to point that it's no longer usable.

Other than that I love em.

tight. gonna have to pick one up now.

I have one too and agree with everything that's been posted. It is also loud as hell, so you may want to keep that in mind if you're in a dorm or if you have roommates. It seriously drowns out the TV when we use it. I can only imagine trying to study and out of nowhere "WHHHHIRRRRRRRRIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, RRRRROOOOOOOOOORARARORRRRRRRRRRRR, GRAOGGROAGROROG!!!"

Bounce around little ice cube, bounce around!

MB's suck. Cooks Illustrated also gave them a horrible review.

havent used a magic bullet but i like to use this...

its basically a chopper but also comes with a blender attachment that hasn't let me down in 2 years. it chops ice,fruit,oats, just fine. i use the chopper part to grind up oats and almonds into a fine powder so i can scoop it and drop it right into my shaker with my protein

Never had a problem with Ice in my magic bullet, been using it for 2 years with no problem. Takes about 2 minutes with 1 cup of milk a scoop of whey and 6-7 ice cubes to blend to a smoothie. Perfect.

i just use cold milk... then u don't need ice

but mine's been workin over 2 years now with everything else. it tears through some PB

and it only drowns out the TV for the 20 sec it's on! your dormmates won't mind, if u make them one too.

just picked one up for $40. looking forward to quick shakes in the dorm room although i feel like its necessary to have so many cups.

We had a no-name one that lasted a few years and replaced it with a MB recently. I use it every day but mostly use frozen fruit in it (bananas and strawberries typically) with milk and protein powder. With ice it comes out kinda like a slushy or ice cappuccino with fine pieces in it. I find the more ice you put in it, the better it grinds it all up. If you just put a cube or two in it, they spend too much time getting pushed to the top and not getting ground up..
