I actually have the Magic bullet, and allthough the advertisements are fucking horrible, this product actually is great, not a life saver, not a "zomg i can't possibly live without" but just an awesome small insta-smoothie maker, just what you need

Get a hand crank butter churn and kill two birds with one stone, work out and make smoothies.

[Anonymous No.4271265]

Had 2 fulls sets but my asshole housemates never washed them properly and they'd get gunky as fuck

[Anonymous No.4271271]

>>4271243
>or

Just get a normal fucking blender

[Anonymous No.4271274]

>even mentioning a magic bullet
obviously a vitamix if you're serious about smoothies

[Anonymous No.4271316]

No love for ninja on /ck/?

Honestly the only blender worth buying.

Shit is fucking amazing/

[Anonymous No.4271329]

has anyone on /ck/ ever tried the magic bullet juicer thing?

they make that shit look serious in the infomercial

but it can't possibly work that well

[Anonymous No.4271362]

I have a magic bullet. It works fine.

for servings of one ;_;

[Anonymous No.4271398]

/fit/-/ck/abomination here. if you are just making single serving stuff, then get the magic bullet. my mom bought my bf and i a knock-off one and i love it. easy as fuck clean up, single serving sizes, lids, etc etc. you can double it as a shit-tier food processor.

>mfw i am drinking a strawberry-banana smoothie i just made with it.

Go figure.

Yeah those things are perfect for quick drinks. I put a banana, a scoop of peanut butter, greek yogurt, and milk in there, blend it all up, and stick it in the fridge until my breakfast is done.

Was the Magic Bullet named as a reference to the JFK assassination?

[Anonymous No.4272436]

The magic bullet is actually pretty great. I had to remind myself for a while that it's not healthy to eat smoothies for every meal.

[Anonymous No.4272491]

You can get similar bullet shaped blenders that are just as good, for $20. I got a $10 set a few years ago on Black Friday, use it weekly, and it's still in great shape.

[Anonymous No.4272584]

Smoothies? Pic related, the people behind Magic Bullet made a dedicated smoothie maker called Nutribullet. That's what you want. Better for smoothies. I have one, does its job.

Go watch some Nutribullet smoothie vids/review on youtube.

if money is no object, this

Pros:
will last for freaking ever in home kitchen

variable speed dial with excellent graduation in speed, independent of on/off switch

excellent power and blending mechanics

can buy replacement parts if you somehow manage to mess something up

loud as fuck (for that rockstar morning)

large capacity

cons:
expensive as fuck upfront (though durability decreases cost immensely over time)

loud as fuck (for that hangover morning)

[Anonymous No.4274862]

>>4272605

so other then it's durability does it do anything different?

blend better?

double as a food processor?

[Anonymous No.4274900]

>>4272605

>vita mix

mah nigga

[Anonymous No.4274943]

>>4272584

what the fuck is the difference

[Anonymous No.4274947]

>>4274862
The motor will never burn out. In the kitchen we have yet to burn out any.

They mix stuff really smooth. Have blended whole lobsters with shell and all.

Not really good as a food processor because of the way blades are shaped. I think people use them to mill flour too or something. You can look up the uses for a vita mix other than blending.
They are the best blender you can buy though.

[Anonymous No.4275959]

>>4274862
Sorry, didn't see anyone reply. Yeah, as other anon said, it blends better than any other blender, aside for maybe a few insanely expensive pro stick blenders I've used. The speed dial on it gives you precise control of the blending, so it's easy to keep a good vortex going (essential for even, smooth blends) even as the motor is running. It'll go at really high RPM for a long time before it starts to heat up. Possible to take a liquid from chilled to steaming hot on the friction from blending alone, not that I'd recommend that. It's hard to explain, but if you use one, you'll understand.

my mom has this, i hate it. it sucks

[Anonymous No.4277033]

>>4277017
You probably only hate it because it's loud as fuck, and you can't handle the sound of PUREPOWAH

[Anonymous No.4277057]

I had the mashit bullshit for a 1-2+ years. The fucking plastic blades are shit, break after a year. Cost ~$8 to replace or $5 for shipping if on warranty.

Sold the shit on ebay. Now I just use an old Hamilton Beach blender that works just as good or better for shakes. And the clean-up is just as fast or faster.

So just buy the cheaper blender you can find.

[Anonymous No.4277072]

OP get a vitamix. Sell plasma, suck cock, whatever you have to the vitamix is worth it.

[Anonymous No.4277582]

I've only used my Magic Bullet for sauces and it even has trouble with jalapenos. It was a gift so I'm not complaining.

[Anonymous No.4277587]

My friend has one. Sounds like a 747 is landing in his place when he uses it.

[Anonymous No.4278206]

>>4272605
I own the 6300 series supposedly is 40% quieter than the 5200 but still its loud as fuck.

Any good recipes for healthy smoothies?

[Anonymous No.4278212]

[Anonymous No.4278271]

>>4278212
My mom bought me a vita mix as a gift when I finished university... kind of odd but I'm still loving the shit out of it. I make a smoothie for lunch almost every day and it can literally blitz a 1-2L smoothie of frozen fruit smooth in like 5 seconds.

[Anonymous No.4280643]

Magic Bullets are useless.
