I bought this cheap magic bullet blender a few years ago and it has worked very well since. The actual blender is very simple and easy to use, that my little kids even use it. That being said this machine does have a few flaws. The first flaw is it's not dishwasher safe. DO NOT put it in the dishwasher or you will warp the rubber parts of the blender. The last problem I have with my machine is if you use it for longer then 30 seconds it produces a burning smell so you need to pause a few seconds every 30 seconds. Else if you see a magic bullet blender for sale go and jump on it.
