I bought my first Magic Bullet years ago and loved it! It was perfect for me as a busy Mom on the go. It gradually wore out and finally stopped after blending thing for my family every day for years. I automatically bought a new one without even shopping around. It worked so well in the past, why would I shop around? I've had the new one for a month and it's already broken. It chewed through the rubber teeth that spin the blades. Clearly the teeth rubber teeth and the plastic teeth that are supposed to work together to spin the blades are not lining up properly. Everytime I use it I end up with dust coming off of them as they are slowly ground down. It's a major mechanical problem. Now I'm having to get another blender. I'm definitely shopping around now.
