My blender SUCKS

[Cerrin 3]

I have to add that I use my magic bullet all the time I love it. I make smoothies for Breakfast I love that I dont have chunks of food not getting chopped just smooshed. The Bullet chops them all up if I want chunkier I dont blend as much. I have made salsa too. and tuna salid. I also crush flax seed and I make Peanut Butter from nuts. I use mine all the time. I love it I have never had a problem with mine It came with an extra ring but I have not had to change it yet.

Both my dh and I love our MB. I use it after each fill for my liquid/mushie stage and my dh uses it for his mixed drinks. He is trying a new one with rum, apple juice and some spicesand the sip I had tasted great. He has me take a "sip" of all his new drinks and sometimes they can be pretty nasty.

I know many are fond of the Magic Bullet, but I am just not impressed with it's power (or lack of) compared to other blenders out there. Plus it's pretty expensive at $50-$60, the cheapest I've seen it was at Kohl's at Xmas and that was a four hour day after Thanksgiving sale price for $36.

The Magic Bullet has *only* 225W of power.

There is a personal sized blender at Walmart that you can get online that is 350W and is only $18ish, here's the link:

Back to Basics 3-Speed Brushed Chrome Personal Blender Express, BPE3BR - Wal-Mart

I can't find it in the stores, but I did find it online at Walmart and if you're not a Wallyworld fan, here's an msn link with more estores that carry it:

Back to Basics 350-Watt Personal Blender Express price comparison

I just ended up buying a new blender (I needed one anyway) from Walmart, it's an Oster that came with a food processer attachment and a free personal size mix mug (not all the boxes had that, but they do sell those for about $13 or so) and it was $40 (now less than that). It has 450 watts. I do really like it. This is it:

Oster 12-Speed Blender and food Processor, 6889-015 - Wal-Mart

Here's the link to the personal mixer cup:

Oster Blend-n-Go Cup - Wal-Mart

But did you know that if you have a blender that has the screw-off base with the removable blades (screw the base off the jar and take the blade assembly and a gasket ring out for cleaning) that that ring actually fits on canning jars? Talk about nice and small, you could use half pint or pint size jars and not have to worry about buying another blender/mixer at all. I have a bunch of those old glass canning jars with the handle on them they used to sell in the dollar stores, those work great.

My sh!tty one is dying, so I'm going to have to buy something soon... I think I still want that Waring Pro - I'm going to have to find a store that sells it, and its coupons...
