Magic Bullet Blender - High Speed Mixing System Review

I always make fun of infomercials--don't we all?--and the Magic Bullet was no exception. When my best friend's parents gave me and my husband a Magic Bullet for our wedding, we laughed and wondered if we'd ever even use the thing. Four years later, I can't even tell you *how* many times we use it, every week, for so many things. I've discovered this thing can make just about any fruit-yogurt-juice combination into an excellent smoothie (and a healthy, quick, on-the-go breakfast--which, by the way, I can blend right in the cup I'll drink it out of), milkshakes made at home are way better than what I can get at a drive-thru, and large bulky food processers that take up tons of counter space are no match for this powerful little blender! We leave the base on the kitchen counter for easy access since we use it so often, and it takes up so little space. For us, it's replaced lots of other gadgets we received as wedding gifts--like a fancy smoothie blender that leaked and didn't blend well, a coffee bean grinder that broke after a year, and a large food processer that is half the size of the kitchen counter. Every household should own one of these. It's well worth the sticker price.
