magic bullet Portable Blender MBPB50100 Silver, 16 oz

This item has worked well for the last six months. A month ago it started to be finicky about charging and only got worse with time. It totally died after seven months from purchase date. I still recommend this unit if you can tolerate replacing it a couple of times a year. The price today is $37+ so it would cost you $74 per year to use this and throw two of them away assuming that it lasts 5-6 months. I have elected to go back to my main Ninja blender for my needs.

I love this product. I got it to make and take my breakfast with me. I drink my breakfast (kachava for additional nutrition since I’m a vegan) so this thing is perfect. Great deal for the price. It’s simple and effective.

I was planning for a trip to asia, and I wanted to be able to make protein smoothies while traveling... to allow for decent mini-meals if and when I ever needed them. Traveling can be challenging sometimes with food, and having a travel sized blender to make protein smoothies is one of my precautions I take... it gives me a bit more control over my diet. Anyways, this one looked great, ordered it, when it arrived it was compact yet clearly allows for a decent sized smoothie. It was weigth-y enough so it seemed solid... I felt confident it was the right choice. Flash forward 2 week traveling (about about 10 uses only). The blender quit working. Not only did it quit working but... it keeps teasing me. The light will flash blue ('working').... I'll load it up, press the button again, surprise, red light will pop back on ('not working'). Basically I'll test it before loading it, it will seem to work fine, then load it: 'something wrong'... nothing more annoying than to chop up fruit, add all the ingredients, just to find out, it was tricking you and its not planning on working after all. If you look at the design, you will notice the power charger port is places exactly where water might get in... the instructions say do wash with water... I did my best not to get water in the badly placed power port... but Im assuming a few drops got in? or some other malfunction. My opinion is, the design with the power port exactly where water might get in, is such a bad design that, no one should buy this product. This is inherently a product meant to be use, full time, with liquids... and only charge once and a while (while not in use)... they could have put the charging port anywhere... and also, added a rubber cap, or some other barrier ... but no, the designer and quality control people thought adding a water sensitive, rarely used detail (charging will only be happening once and a while) needs to be basically exactly where all the liquid will be also. I paid about $42 including shipping. A nice price.. but the wasted time, mental energy, and frustration is not worth it... especially when you see the silly design flaw which is just asking for problems. If you read through the reviews you will find peppered throughout, the common complaint that it just 'quit working'. Im pretty sure, most had the same issue I did which is, despite being careful with cleaning the blender... a drop of water or 2 snuck in to the charging port (which again, is exactly... exactly in the wrong spot to keep it working.. or right spot for dripping water slip in)... IF you buy this blender, it will almost definitely just quit working some random day... and you will have to start checking if its really broken,,, messing around with it... the light will turn blue (working), but then will turn red (broken)... etc etc... then you will have to throw it out, and start over again. Find another brand which doesnt have this really stupid unnecessary design flaw... and ... it will probably just keep working.. as most products usually do. Because Im traveling now, my options are much worse, because where Im at, if I can find a mini-blender, it will probably be low quality... ie I will just use it well traveling and then throw it out and by a new one when Im back in USA... so, I will end up spending $42 (this blender) + $40 (guessing price of random mini blender avaibale where I am, which will be crap) + $45 (new blender when back home .. obv different brand) = $125 (roughly) total... all in for some small inexpensive little blender. the money isnt that big of a deal... it just having to mess around with this stuff, while traveling... which I find frustrating.... knowing that its most likely this extremely stupid design flaw which is the problem.

I was looking for an item to use as a smoothie maker that was portable and easy to use. This product delivered! It's super easy to use and the portion size it delivers is perfect for one person. With a busy lifestyle, it's the perfect mini blender to drop in your ingredients and hit the road - then blend on-the-go. It has a flip top (that's lockable) and offers easy to carry handle. You can drink straight from the blender, so there's no need to take an extra cup with you. I keep a water bottle handy to rinse the blender when done, so it's easier to clean later if the unit is going to sit at your desk or in your car for a while (this way it's not crusty). Once home, drop component items (except the motorized base) into dishwasher, then it's ready to go for next time. I use it so much, I ordered a second one as a backup and for spouse to use (spouse loves milkshakes). There's nothing like FRESH smoothies and shakes for taste!

Love this but wish it had a better battery life. Use it one time 3 days ina row and it dead.

I love this blender. It worked great at first but it seems that there is an issue with these holding a charge. I’ve been through two of these now. The first one lasted a couple of weeks then the battery would not hold a charge. I returned that one and got a new one and I used it for about a month until the end of summer. Then it sat on the cabinet all winter. When I tried to use it again (March) it would not hold a charge. I’ve been very careful to minimize the water on the blender and dry it quickly after I wash or rinse it. I feel like it’s not fully waterproof where the charging port is even though it says it is. Not gonna get a third one of these, trying a different brand.

I love this blender. It’s so easy to use and clean. One charge lasts for several drinks. I use it for smoothies and iced coffee drinks. Noise level is fine. It’s just a 30 second blend. I haven’t tried to blend ice. There’s no smell at all. After use, I spray a bit of dish soap in and warm water. Blend for a few seconds, take apart, rinse all parts and air dry. I’ve had zero leakage issues. Takes up very little space on counter or in cabinet.

Good product, good service.

Excellent product! Easy to use and working as expected.

Vale cada peso! Lo uso a diario y ha facilitado mucho mi vida. La duración de la pila es excelente. Regresé para decir que después de 8 meses dejó de cargar. Una lastima

Perfect

A good product to use every day I've been using it for the last 8 months Still perfect

Game changer for my protein fruit shakes
