For me, the Magic Bullet has some good and negative things to it. First, it's great for small kitchen spaces and it doesn't take up as much room compared to a regular blender and food processor. It does well making puree and milkshakes. However, during the chopping, I occasionally heard weird noise when the cup is released. I had some chopping issues when it came to an onion. I've tried cutting it into smaller pieces, and even shook the container around a bit to loosen bits of onion from the blades, but it still wasn't chopping it like how I wanted it. This product may take some time to figure out the kinks, especially if you're not used to using this type of blender. As of now, it seems to be working fine for certain food items that I tried using it for.
