Blenders

I have both the Magic Bullet and the Nutribullet. The Nutribullet has larger cups, so you can blend more at once. I have had it for about a month and am making smoothies about twice a day for myself, and twice a day again for my husband. I haven't used my Magic Bullet since getting the Nutribullet, and in fact, just posted it on Freecycle today.

I do think that the info in the Nutribullet's recipe book is better, and we also bought one of the companion boooks that was offered. So far with doing the Nutriblasts and Weight Watchers I am down about 12 lbs in 5 weeks, and I have much more energy than I did (and I was eating lots of fruits and veggies even before I started this.)

I had two Magic Bullets. I loved them both but they broke with daily use. We have since bought the Cuisenart version that I love. (It has the same single serving mixing cups that the Magic Bullet has)

Edit-I make mostly protein shakes in my blender.

I bought a Magic Bullet blender and returned it after trying to use it a couple of times. It did not emulsify food as well as my regular blender does. I bought it because I liked the idea of drinking it out of the same container I blended it in.

I have VitaMix blender which works really well. I love it. All except having to get the smoothies out of the jar. That's why I tried a bullet.

I'm going to use a pint jar with my regular blender and see if that works.

I have a friend who likes her MagicBullet. Perhaps I wasn't using the right foods. I like to use apples and pears and greens. It might work fine with soft foods such as berries and bananas. The VitaMix liquifies everything. I've seen infomercials for Ninja machines which are about $100 less than VitaMix and would try Ninja before Vitamix if I were to start over.

I've not seen the Nutribullet. If it has more power, more on the side of the VitaMix or Ninja I would try it. The Nutribullet has 600 watts of power. The Ninja and VitaMix have 1500 watts. The Magic Bullet has 250 or 350 watts. No wonder it didn't work.

I suggest that you google both Nutribullet and Magic Bullet and compare them before buying. It seems to me, after just a brief look see that the Nutribullet is better.

The Cuisinart smoothie maker has a 350 watt motor.

I love my Ninja. The first one I bought from Walmart and it broke pretty quickly. I returned it and went to Lowe's instead. Same Ninja company, but better product sold at Lowe's. The plastic was a higher quality. Here is a link.

Look at the blades on your blender. Are they just on the bottom of the pitcher? Are they short or nearly to the wall of the pitcher? The blade shape and placement make a difference as to what the machine accomplishes. I don't know about the Bullets, but Ninja has multiple blades on a stem and they are close enough to the walls of the pitchers that they can chop pretty evenly and smoothly.
