This is my first time owning a Magic Bullet. I was so excited, because my children always ask to make smoothies and I hate lugging out my big blender. So instead of turning them down, now I have my Magic Bullet. It is easy to use and super easy to clean up. I can make small batch smoothies to better adjust the tastes my kids are looking for. I love how versatile it is and I'm looking forward to trying to make something other than a smoothie in it, maybe salsa!
