What's a GREAT single serve blender?

MrsBailey149

I'm trying to find a blender that is quick and easy to use for my rushed early mornings. I want it to be able to blend through ice with ease. Preferably something that is easy to clean. Lately I've been using my ninja, and while it works well, it's a hassle to clean. Plus, I have to drink from another glass, therefore making more dishes.

I was looking into the magic bullet but would currently like something less expensive. I really don't need multiple accessories, just the basics to blend my smoothie.

Thanks!

Bump......because I'm wondering the same thing!

the magic bullet is wonderful. I have a GE model that I got at walmart for 20.00. However, my co-worker bought the magic bullet for all of us at the office (we're doing body by vi) and I love it. I know its expensive but so worth it. With my GE I have had times where the seal or lid has come lose and therefore the inside needs to be cleaned. I've never had that with the bullet. Btw, there are 3 of us doing bbv at work so approx 3-4 shakes get made a day and its still going strong 2 months later. Good luck.

I'm on my 2nd magic bullet I love it. I also use the containers with the lid for making overnight oatmeal (oats, greek yogurt, chia seed, and fruit).

I have, and use regularly, a magic bullet. If you're looking for something powerful enough to crush ice though...look elsewhere.

I've heard good things about the cuisinart mini blender and have been considering an upgrade.

I have one made by Hamilton Beach, it was less than $20 at Target. The canister doubles as a glass to drink from. It doesn't crush ice too well though, so I just use crushed ice from the freezer instead of whole cubes.

I have one made by Cooks, and sold by JCPenney for about $20-25 depending on the sale. It's called the 5 in 1 Rocket Blender. It's $22 right now.

I've used it for about four years...pretty much daily. It breezes through ice, the cup/blender contatiner comes with a little topper so you can use it as a nice cup without the threads hitting your mouth, and it looks just like a cup. Love it, will definitely replace it if/when it ever dies. Comes with several cups, tops, two blender blade assemblies, some smaller cups for non-drink blending, and you can buy it in lots of colors. Check it out on JCPenney.com

We got a GE model at Wal-Mart for about $20 & it's great!. Comes with two blender heads & 2 different size cups (4 of each). Worksfantastic & easy to clean & take the smoothies with you on the go.

Magic bullet is a beast. It does get VERY loud when blending ice for such a small device.

I have the one from JC Penney also and use it all the time with no problem.

I have an Oster and it works great. It's hard to find one that works as well as a regular sized blender. Found it at Target. And as a bonus it's hot pink.

LOVE the magic bullet!!

The Magic Bullet is a dream, honestly. Be on the lookout for deals, because I got the deluxe kit (1 lg, 1 sm blender container, 2 small mugs, 2 large mugs, 6 different lids, and the blender attachment) for $48.00 at Costco last month.

I have an Oster, and you can pick one up for under $20. I use it every day. Crushes ice too.

That's the one I have, and I LOVE it.

Magic Bullet! I have both the Magic Bullet and a regular blender and almost never use the regular blender.

However I did buy a smoothie/salad dressing bottle that has the same size opening at my blender (but not the magic bullet) so I can screw the blade right onto the bottle.

I've used this for 3yrs. Love it. Not so big that you're making 1-2L smoothies.





(mind you, when i go out for the day, I use it twice and make about 1.5L of a shake to sip on throughout the day)

bump for later :-)
