product has performed just as described so far. i only use for blending ice for performance drinks, but does excellent job with the ice. even better than my normal blender. would reccommend for this type of use.
The O-rings on the blade adapters need to be replaced as they start to leak with all Magic Bullets. One needs to keep on top of this or you will burn out the motor eventually. Other than that its a great machine and about $400 less expensive than the VitaMix which is really the top of the line blender. The nice thing about the bullet is it's size which makes it easy to travel with and cart around.
My daughter and I had seen this item advertised on TV for over a hundred dollars. My daughter was wanting this for her Birthday, so I looked it up on ebay and won the item at a very reasonable bid! I am so happy. The item arrived quickly and was actually nicer than I thought it would be. Comes with instructions and various size cups that attach to the bullet to make drinks in.
My daughter has not received it yet, but it is wrapped up and ready to be given to her. I can't wait to see her face when she opens it.
