I want to go on record that I LOVE Magic Bullet! I have always kept one on hand as I make a daily protein shake for my husband. I put nuts, frozen fruit, a slip of numeric and ginger root; and whatever fresh veggies, fruit and supplements I choose to put in. I fill it with water and off we go! I appreciate the easy use and clean up. It is perfect for individual servings. I have larger machines, but, while easy to clean also, this is perfect to mix and serve a single serving. I cannot say enough how much I like this. The motor gets used so much,I don't mind buying a new blender part every so often. As long as they make this, it will have a place in my kitchen!
