Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Magic Bullet Express 17-Piece High-Speed Blender Mixing System
Customer Review: A nice little unit, but not as good as advertised on TV.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using the Magic Bullet for about one week. It makes great iced frozen drinks. It is easy to clean. Make sure that you use small pieces of ice and whatever you want to chop or grate. The unit will bog down and stop if you jam too many things in it. All of the receipies in the book may have to be modified as you learn to use it. The juice attachment is just okay, but does not produce a lot of juice. Overall it is a nice unit for chopping, mixing, crushing, and grating. Remember, do not use big chunks of items or ice. If it locks up, just add more liquids or remove portions until it mixes a little. If it jams up for more than a few seconds, stop and check or the unit motor may get damaged. This is a great drink mix machine. It does a good job with frozen drinks. This would be perfect for a single person or a small family. For the $99.00 price I paid, it is not a bad deal for what you get. If you are buying it just for the juicer, I would buy an Omega brand juicer instead. I found it to work the best when mixing solid with liquid items. You are going to have to do a little experimenting to get your items right. I would say that this is great party mixer for small to medium portion items such as dips, finger foods, and for mixing drinks. It's worth getting if you don't have a mixer and food processor already. Easy to clean.Customer Review: A piece of junk

GO BUY A BLENDER. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. The idea of the blending and chopping all those foods is an excellent idea. However use a blender or Jack La Lanne's power juicer. I feel stupid buying this dum thing. Common sense - If you want to blend fruit, veggies or whatever a larger blender has a large motor and is much more powerful. If you want to chop hard items well look at the previous sentence. The Jack La Lanne's power juicer is best if you want to separate the pulp from the juice. Much more juice comes out of this power juicer, even a non Jack La Lanne's power juicer does better then this piece of junk. The person inventing this had an excellent idea in easy cook and health making in just blending and chopping everything together. I came up with that myself. It is amazing to resolve all that chewing and chopping. It is a great idea however the person inventing this had to come up with something or some product so people will buy his idea.Customer Review: AMAZING

We've had two of these now and they have both broken and customer support has been unresponsive. The first one I bought was through an online auction site. When this one broke in about 6 months (of admittedly heavy use), Magic Bullet claimed my blender was a knock off and refused to provide service. So, I went to the store and bought another one thinking that I had been duped by an online auctioneer (even though the packaging and contents of the auction version and store bought versions were EXACTLY the same).So, now about 10 months of having this one and actually very light use, the EXACT SAME PART broke. So, thinking I was still under warrantee I called MB again for service and they were again unhelpful. Don't buy it.Customer Review: AWESOME

Bought it for my girlfriend for Xmas, she loves it and so do I. We mix our coffee in it every morning :)
As far as the chopping and all that goes i can't say i use it much for that but when i have i get paste and liquidy stuff. But in all fairness I have zero food processor etc knowledge.
The only con I honestly see is that all of my cups have split, hairline cracks that are like seams running the hieght of the mugs, i assume from being in the microwave here and there. It's also a bit loud but the neighbors can just deal, i often wonder if they think i'm getting tanked on margarittas at 9 am lol.
The cups are cheap and you'll likely be replacing them after 6 months but they're so cheap on eBay it should not discourage your purchase. This is a good investment.
I'd say it's more than capable of what's seen in the infomercials and it really had been advertised correctly.
