But I imagine also useful. If you have the counterspace and the cabinet space. Handier and less cleanup for some smaller things. And yes they sell them elsewhere - I believe I've seen them at costco occasionally - look it up on amazon and bizrate.com for comparison shopping and find out. > Don't own one... my niece swears by hers.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 My girlfriend was so excited to get one, and one day in costco she got one. it looks... nice, but the functionality of it... useless ( in my opinion). it really doesnt blend or process foods well. she tried making a pesto sauce, everything just stayed stuck on the walls of the the processor. i would simply get either a food processor or a blender. i've also read that the units break after 6 months and replacing a part is as expensive as buying a new one. Thats just my opinion > > anyone own one??? are they sold in stores -???saw infommercial last night and it looks so helpful -is it better than a food processor??? > thanks Eileen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi,They do look useful However, WS's experience is probably common. I read a review of them, I think it was Cooks illustrated, and they suggested we're better of with a blender or food processor. It flunked their usefulness tests. They do not take advertising, which gives them the possibility of an un-biased perspective.Re: magic bullet/bullet expressPosted by: "wrench_suicide" wrench_suicide@... wrench_suicideTue Sep 15, 2009 10:04 am (PDT)My girlfriend was so excited to get one, and one day in costco she got one.it looks... nice, but the functionality of it... useless ( in my opinion). it really doesnt blend or process foods well. she tried making a pesto sauce, everything just stayed stuck on the walls of the the processor. i would simply get either a food processor or a blender. i've also read that the units break after 6 months and replacing a part is as expensive as buying a new one.Thats just my opinion>> anyone own one??? are they sold in stores -???saw infommercial last night and it looks so helpful -is it better than a food processor???> thanks Eileen> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 My mom has one. She uses it all the time for small quick jobs (smoothies, grinding seeds/nuts, etc.). I think I bought it for her at Target, but that was at least a couple years ago.
