The magic bullet is small but powerful. I was a little skeptical that this blender would not have enough power but so far it had been nothing but impressive. I’ve used it mainly for making protein shakes and it has no problem blending up ice cubes quickly and easily. My wife has also used it for blending fruit and vegetables for baby food. It works great! There are so many options. The small size makes it quick to use, easy to assemble and even faster to clean. Overall it’s far better than a large blender when you just want to blend something quickly.
