New Blender - Magic Bullet?

[trayrenee 0]

As my surgery nears (next Wednesday!) I realize I need to upgrade my blender from the $10 Wallgreens special!:thumbdown: Has anyone used the Magic Bullet -- it looks like it would be good for a variety of post-lap band surgery uses. But it's like $60 so I wanted to throw the question out to the board before I bought it.

I bought the QVC version of the Magic Bullet and I used it daily for about a month after banding. You probably could get away with your blender, but the Bullet-type gadgets are so convienient. They take up little space, they clean up in a snap and you can drink right out of the cups.

I use mine now just to do quick cooking tasks like shredding cheese and chopping onions quick. I've also made quick Soups with canned tomatoes or broccoli and cheese with a little milk mixed in.

I LOVE MY BULLET!!! It's not only convenient, but the size of it is perfect. I can make things in it for just one serving or I can use the bigger "cup" and make something for my hubby and myself!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

You can also find the "off brands" that work just as good and are alot less expensive..our JC Penny's actually has one for 19.00 that is really nice.

I have TWO Magic Bullets and LOVE them. We use them for everything. Definately worth the money you would spend on one.

I'm actually thinking of getting a second one to keep at my mom and dads house so I don't have to pack it with me when I go to visit them.... I'll have to check out the JCP version. Thanks!
