Anyone have the Magic Bullet blender/processer? Opinions?

Thinking about getting one; had several good reviews on another board I frequent.

1. Too small in capacity, and I'd worry about cleaning

Save up for a Cuisinart food processor is my vote.

2. I agree with other poster - too small in capacity and too many parts.

Parts were all over the place. I collected all the parts and donated it to goodwill. If I'd have known, I'd have sent it to you. Save up for cuisinart. I've used it often over the last 15 yrs.

3. I just like the fact you can do smoothies as well as chop/process.

All-in-one kinda thing instead of breaking out the hand blender or the big blender.
Husband isn't home a lot; so it's cooking for me and the toddler. We don't need a large capacity thing.
BUT; quality always wins out; and the cuisinart is def. that.
Thanks for the opinion; I will weigh it and not make a hasty purchase. (we are starting to eat healthier and work out)

7. the smoothies is what got my mom, too. She did make an awful lot of them, so I

think it's probably good for that. I couldn't keep up with all the little rings and liners, though. It's just me and one kiddo, too, btw, and I still find it easier to just use the processor for most things and then the blender for everything else (like smoothies). I'm sure the bullet would be smaller, all in all. Good luck!

5. check out the reviews

on Amazon... they are not very good. We thought about getting one until we read them.

6. I can't buy a Magic Bullet for this reason:

In the infomercial, they use it to make muffin batter. Anyone who knows her way around a kitchen knows that you cannot do that to muffin batter!
