Magic Bullet Blender - High Speed Mixing System Review

I received the The Magic Bullet Blender from my parents as a birthday gift.  As I opened it, I thought to myself, "What a random gift."  I had seen the ads on TV though, and was excited to try it out.  It is so cool!   The blender is powerful and so quick.  I have used it for everything from smoothies to salsa to grinding cookies to make my own cookie pie crust!  Even my boyfriend likes to use it!  I like how small it is, making it easier to store than a blender or food processor.  The cups are durable and can be put right in the dishwasher, which I love.  I like how many recipes there are out the for using it too.  Some came with the blender, but I have found books with additional recipes for things like soups and sauces that I would never have thought of.  I can't really think about a downside to this product off hand.  I would recommend it for any kitchen, espeically one that likes simple and quick.
