Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Magic Bullet Express 17-Piece High-Speed Blender Mixing System
Customer Review: Don't Expect it to Wax Your Car
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had a Magic Bullet for over a year now and I have to say that I love it. In my home we never drank smoothies before I got this machine and now it is an all time summer treat. I've also used it to pulverize vitamin C pills for camping expeditions (they neutralize the taste/odor of iodine as water treatment). I've used it to make potato soup, dice onions, and various other uses.
The thing that I have found is that the machine does work, but the recipe booklet is faulty on almost every recipe they include. For example, you have to fill the machine at least 1/2 of the way full of liquid if you want a smoothie. Then, it will give you a non-chunky smoothie in under 30 seconds.
For dicing, use the grinding blade, not the ice pulverizing blade. Tap twice.
When I was first learning to use the machine, I made the mistake of over-chopping things and I ended up with super-runny foods. Most of what I read here, I can sympathize with, but the advice to give is that if it doesn't look done yet, then it probably is. For some reason, the appearance through the plastic bubble, and the actual result, don't match.
Another thing I'm reading is that the machine overheats. Duh! The instruction manual says not to run it for over 30 seconds on "lock" mode, and that over a minute of running will cause the machine to stop working until it cools down. Nothing has ever required that much (over 30 seconds worth) chopping. If it did, it was because there was liquid that was missing.
It is also small. The cups are about the size of two of your standard juice glasses. This means that it isn't going to cut up an entire melon, you aren't going to be able to make a roast turkey, or any other large-food item in the blender. Stick to small, single-serving things. If you are a single person, this is about the right size for you. If you want to make a pitcher of daiquiris for a party of 20+ people, it is way out of the league of this little coffee-cup sized blender's reach.
As a final point, I have had many food processors (which is what this bills itself as) over the course of my life and not a one of them doesn't fall under the failings listed here which include: vegetable chopped for too long gets runny, couldn't cook meals in it, cheese turns to goo when allowed to chop for a while, etc. Think of it as a food processor and you will not be disappointed. Think of it as a small food processor with easy clean-up and you will start to see that it earns its counter space.
