I received this as a Christmas gift and was really excited. As much as I love making my smoothies with it, I find it wears down quite fast and isn't really built to last. I have had to replace the unit. I don't think I'll be replacing it again if the second one goes down.

Had this before buying another product. Although great for chopping, dicing, mixing, etc. It wasn't the greatest for smoothies, which was the main reason I purchased it. The liquid always needed to be strained to make to a thinner consistancy, which just became too time consuming. Still a great product, just not great for my needs.

These are a handy product, but I've found them largely unreliable. If you're just a student looking for a blender to use for a year or two, these are a great price/size etc. But if you're looking for something that will lst or need frequent usage this isn't the one.

I bought one on sale and it broke in 3 months. definitely wouldn't recommend this brand.

This works great. ...for about 2 months then it sucks. Completely broke after 5 months. Sure it is cheaper to buy but not in the long run if you have to replace it 2 or 3 times a year.

Worked great in the beginning, after a few months, one of the little notch locking things in the cup broke, after that grease started to come out.

This product works really great for a short period of time. I purchased a Magic Bullet to make smoothies and milkshakes because the size of the machine was much more convenient than a traditional sized blender. It worked amazingly at first, but didn't hold up with regular use. It's a decent product if you only use it occasionally, but otherwise, not the best option.

So, this is a good blender if you want to buy it over and over. It gets easily and quickly worn out. Mine was used maybe a couple times a week for about a month and then began smoking and almost caught fire. I invested in a better blender and haven't had a problem. The magic bullet did make good smoothies, although you have to shake it around to get everything smooth.

This is a good little blender to make individual milkshakes. I do find that some of the chunks of fruit like strawberries need to be blended well or you end up chewing them in your drink. Overall I liked this product.

Bought this product in university and I used it constantly for smoothies. It is a great little blender. The only problem is is that it had a tough time crushing ice.
