Been using for a few months now and still blends everything nicely including ice! Good sized container and very easy to clean!I love this blender. The size and power are perfect. And it’s pretty!Put frozen fruit and blender stalled out the motor. It took a second to release the cup and after I smelled burning odor. Pretty sure the electric motor overheated. I smell that odor if I run the blender a long time. 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. I just now broke One of the Three Tabs on the mixer cup. The blender won't work anymore because of this missing tab. I ordered 2 extra cups for around $20.I'm sure this will happen again. I use this unit 3 to 4 times a week to blend frozen fruit with water. I will be more careful with the new cups and try to avoid jamming it during removal. It takes a lot of down pressure to lock the cup into the drive unit.The ( internal spring pressure ) where the 3 tabs on the mixer cup lock into the drive unit may need to be reduced. I'm thinking about putting an inline on/off switch on the power cord. That way, I won't jam the cup when removing it or starting it.This is best smoothie blender I’ve ever purchased. It’s lightweight, compact and simple to use. It blends drinks super fast and clean up of bottle is a breeze. This blender is killing my Ninja blender and I would definitely recommend and buy it again.Strong blending power and speed. I’ve only used it 4 times so far. I pray it doesn’t burn out, but definitely no more Magic Bullet for my home. We’re tired of sucking that little white rubber ring up with our drinks because they come off and get cut up. ?It is easy to use and looks good sitting on my counter. Very powerfulI ended up returning because the power wasn’t as strong as a ninja .I first purchased the smaller 300 watt unit from La Reveuse and loved it so much I immediately purchased this larger 600 watt! The lower power did a good job with my smoothies, but this higher watt unit does even better to make my smoothies creamy and smooth. The wide mouth of the blending jars makes it easy to add ingredients. The bigger jars are great for making enough banana "nice cream" to have leftovers for the freezer. Easy to use, easy to wash. This is going to make a terrific gift for all future birthdays, wedding gifts, holidays and housewarmings. You'll love it!*****UPDATE: I've been experiencing a problem. Although I tighten the top very well before putting the jar on the base, it becomes lose when I reverse the jar to take it out of the base. When the jar is in the base, IT'S A TIGHT FIT, and taking it out loosens the lid. The contents of the jar spills all over the counter and kitchen floor! I'm really upset that I have to send this back.I read every review and did my research before purchasing. For the first month of near daily use this product was a solid 5/5. Creamy smoothies and crushed ice no problem. However, water has now gotten into the blade portion of the appliance and it is no longer safe to use. Water and electricity is not a combo I am willing to risk. I've tried everything to get this water out and nothing will work. Such a disappointment, and waste of money.Loved this blender for the 3 months that it worked. It died on me while I was in the middle of making a smoothie.. so disappointing. Definitely recommend buying the extended warranty if you are going to purchase this blender. When it did work it crushed chia seeds, nuts and frozen fruit very well.Nice and compact with a powerful motor. It really mixes well as I use frozen fruit and protein powder which can be gritty if not well blended. This one does a great job! There is a rubber seal and you must really TIGHTEN the blade assembly when using or there will bit a bit of leakage. The motor smells ‘hot’ after a couple minutes but I have a drill that does that too and it’s not a problem. Cleans up easily. Very happy with this purchase.Primarily, I use this for shakes (protein and fruit). This device crushes ice with ease. In fact, you'd never know that large ice-cubes are even present. So, if you are making shakes and smoothies, and you want something that will do it with ease then this is the device for you.Now about the design. This is the Magic Bullet's larger, much more powerful big brother. The mechanical design of this device is an exact copy of the Magic Bullet (except much larger and beefier). This means that the design flaws of the Magic Bullet have been repeated. For example, the device is engaged by three small tabs attached to the cup. On the MB, these tabs break off easily, resulting in a cup or attachment that is no longer usable. The MB cup seals around the cutting attachment wear out, causing leaking into the device during use. This blender has exactly the same design and as such, will likely suffer the same fate. On the MB, it is pretty easy to over tighten the lid/cutting attachment and I can only assume the same is true here.So if you like your Magic Bullet then you will LOVE this device. If you were bothered by the problems and issues with the MB, you may soon face the same issues here. However, you need to keep in mind that this device is about the same price, but is MUCH larger and WAY better built. The base, the cutting attachment and the cups are very sturdy and feel to be of the highest quality.I tried it for the first time yesterday. My first impression is that the motor on this blender feels powerful. I can feel the punch when squeezing the fruits. Obviously I didn't push it to the limit from the first trial, but I'm planning to do some smoothie ideas with ice to see how it behaves. I've used traditional blenders before and didn't face much issues with their performance, so given that this one feel much more powerful, I don't see why it shouldn't do the job.I like the concept of having the blades inside the cup. It's very easy to clean, compared to a juicer. It's also healthier given that you're basically drinking all whole fruit.Given the price per performance, I'd say it's worth it!My only initial complaint-ish, is that it's quite large (not really), but compared to the Nutribullet - which I've seen but haven't tried - it's larger.I'll update my review if anything concerning comes up.
