Magic Bullet Express Blended for 59$ at Home Hardware

[Traian2003]

I've just seen this on sale in the flyer. It says it's the Magic Bullet Express blender for 59$. The flyer says it's for the store in Bridlewood mall at Rizvi's but it might be at the other Home Hardware too.

That's what I wanna know

Usually "express" means a crappy low-grade version, or a "small, fast" version

has anyone here tried the Magic Bullet and care to share any comments.

Bought it for $50 @ CT a few weeks ago.
I've been making hummus and fruit smoothies non-stop with it. I tried dicing an onion, but it didn't perform very well. It just purees everything that you throw in.

so basically, its a blender? haha

A microwave safe blender (well not the puree'ing part).

It's decent for salsa and other things. You just have to know when to stop :)
I tried the juicer accessory too and it didn't get much juice but it does work.

This thing overheats VERy fast. don't chop or stir continuously for more than 2 minutes or else prepare to wait for it to cool down.

It's great for crushing ice :cheesygri and doing smoothies etc.

Oh and their recipe booklet SUCKS. Some of the amount of ingredients in there would not fit physically in the large container and I tried around 20 or so "quicK' recipes and they all tasted gross.

i am a huge fan!
it is at london drugs for $54.95
just bought 4 for gifts!

best part of it is the size. you do not have to pull out this huge blender. easy to clean too. i use it for marinades and frozen drinks mostly. as for some of the recipes, you need to watch the commercial a few times. the order of the way you put the ingredients in is important sometimes.

it is a steal at about $50 the only different from the tv offer is that you do not get the blender attachment.

yeah, I like mine too although I wouldn't recommend it at more than $50. It's convenient for drinks because you make everything right in the cup (don't underestimate how much a deterrent washing dishes is). I don't think the juicer attachment works well at all; at least not compared to the Juiceman. It works but it doesn't get everything. Plus, there's alot of things to wash up after. I think the bullet is really only useful for drinks because solids tend to get stuck to the top and sides of the the cup; with drinks, everything can fall to the bottom and get chopped up if there's enough liquid. Trying to chop up onions and stuff gets frustrating because you have to keep banging it (actually the recommended usage :S) to get things to fall down. I've watched the commercial countless times and I still don't know how they chop those things up in 2 sec.

So, it's not a bad purchase at $50 because it's handy to make drinks in (and there is sorta an entertainment value) but once it dies, I don't see myself buying another one. Unless it's really cheap or I figure out how they chop things in 2 sec.

Yea for chopping fine i just use a mini chopper food processor thingie I got at Walmart
The only thing that works fine are the muffin recipes (which if you have more than 3 people to feed you'll need to do it multiple times since the accessories are tiny :lol: ).

I actually paid $160 for mine 3 years back :mad:

i got one, and yes it is just a small blender.
And yes, it pretty much purees everything.
Trying to chip veggies is near impossible without turning it into slush. If you put large pieces in, half of it will be juice, and half of it will be gigantic chunks.
So you either can chop your veggies a little smaller but then if you are already chopping them, just finish the job with the knife!
LOL

and don't put eggs in it, egg+plastic = yellow plastic.
