Magic bullet high speed blender mixer system - power base with stainless steel cross blade and flat blade/tall and short bullet cups/shaker/steamer tops/stay-fresh lids/four mugs with colored lip rings/100-page magic bullet, 10 second recipe book. The magic bullet replaces a food processor, blender, and coffee grinder. Yet it occupies only the space of a coffee mug. It stays handy on your countertop for instant meals and snacks. There are no buttons to push. Just load the ingredients into the short cup, the tall cup or one of the four mugs. Twist on the cross or flat blade, place the bullet on the power base, and press down - in seconds, you'll have chopped onions, minced garlic, grated cheese, spaghetti sauce, salsa, soup, chicken salad, smoothies, shakes and more. To heat or chill, simply place the magic bullet cup or mug in the microwave, refrigerator or freezer.

Amazon.com Product Description
Whether setting up house for the first time or looking to add versatility to an already busy kitchen, this 17-piece high-speed mixing system provides exceptional convenience. The set includes a power base and two stainless-steel cutting blades, one cross and one flat; two blender cups (tall and short); four mugs with colored lip rings; two stay-fresh lids; and two shaker/steamer tops. The unit takes up about the same amount of space on the counter as a coffee mug, yet it replaces a food processor, blender, and coffee grinder. Use it to chop, mix, whip, blend, and more--perfect for making party dips and mixed drinks or food-prepping the main course and whipping up dessert. Simply add ingredients into one of the cups or mugs, twist on one of the blades, place on the power base, and press down for results in 10 seconds or less. Even more, the microwave- and freezer-safe cups and mugs feature durable see-through construction, which makes it easy to keep an eye on the mixing process and to identify contents at a glance when stored in the refrigerator. Dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap, and a recipe book comes included. The high-speed blender measures approximately 4 by 4 by 10 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
Customer Reviews
Works well, but not for all foods
I received my Magic Bullet set as a gift, after coveting it for quite some time(love that informercial!). After owning it and using it, I still love it, but I did have to adjust my expectations a bit.
It works wonderfully for soft foods. It is great for making dips, sauces, marinades, salad dressings, tapenades... It is great for blending soft foods, for making emulsions, whipping cream... I have made great hummus in my Magic Bullet, as well as chicken salad. You get the idea.
It also makes an EXCELLENT coffee grinder!
What it does not do is work like a normal food processor, in that it cannot process harder foods. Raw vegetables are a no. Also, forget crushing ice! Those mugs that come with the set are a cute idea, but they are useless. You cannot make a frozen drink with the Magic Bullet because all it does is throw the ice around in circles.
So, If you want a real food processor, do not buy this one. If you want a light-weight and small processor that is great for soft foods and liquids (and grinding coffee beans), then you can't go wrong with the Magic Bullet!
Dont buy this!
This "magic" bullet does not do what you think it will do. It is a big pain and I finally just threw mine away out of frustration after trying for 20 minutes to grind coffee beans. It does not chop without stopping, shaking, stopping again repeating,...You really would save time just chopping onions, garlic, chesses, and the like. Forget grinding chicken into the sandwiches like the infomercial. Doesn't happen. Only the slushy drinks turn out well. It was a rip off and I have buyers remorse!
Product is poorly constructed & Customer Service is not good
This is a great little machine. Does not do everything according to the infomercial but is compact and handy with what it does. However the construction is bad. My blade assembly started leaking under the blade and the customer service refused to replace it because I did not have the receipt. I paid for a new blade which again started leaking in a few months, they are willing to replace it but now want me to pay for shipping&handling. I have spent enough on this machine, even bought a few as gifts, I am disappointed that it is not long lasting.
