We have had a magic bullet for several years.  I make smoothies almost every morning for my kids.  With the magic bullet, I had to make everyone individual smoothies...and our motor eventually fried out.  It was also hard to clean if there were drips in the motor.  This Nutribullet is great!  It makes the perfect smoothies and super easy to clean.  I love all the features and the power of the motor.  Our old blender is almost 15 years told...and there is a HUGE difference.  My only complaint would be that it's pretty tall, so it doesn't fit under my counter tops.
