Aliceinwonder 11 Posted June 5, 2012 I burnt out my blender that I had for years. Now that I am post op, I didn't want a huge blender so I got a magic bullet. My problem is it doesn't crush the ice. Does anyone have one? Can you guys post some recommendations? Or teach me how to use it. LoL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanaekili 0 Posted June 5, 2012 I have the ninja.. and I love it.. it turns ice into dust. Or it can just chop it up a little. But it works well. And o have the first one it was like 40 bucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deltadawn817 106 Posted June 5, 2012 What are you using your blender for? I hated my Protein Shakes blended they were too foamy I love my Blender Bottle. IT is the best. 1 NEVA907 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanaekili 0 Posted June 5, 2012 I use it to make fruit smoothies I don't get foam when I use mine. Even if I don't put fruit in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

becky444 11 Posted June 6, 2012 I went to buy the magic bullet, but they were all out and there was one like it by a brand named Bella, which was $40 cheaper and it works great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmw10000 35 Posted June 6, 2012 I have a ninja does good on ice and another smaller one hamiton beach 18.00 at Walmart not great on ice but great on frozen fruit. I put 8 oz milk one scoop of protien and some frozen strawberrys make a great shake. no ice required Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weigh2Go 35 Posted June 11, 2012 I have the Jimmy Buffet margarita machine which shaves ice & mixes protien shakes great! Got it at Lowes - was expensive but I use it evey day. My kids like it when I make them icees with it too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kes74 3 Posted June 11, 2012 With the bullet make sure you are using the 4 prong blade. Mine does the trick. Also have the ninja which I pretty amazing also. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smallvegan 36 Posted June 13, 2012 I wouldn't trade my Vitamix for anything! It is pricey, but worth every single penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
