Nurtibullet? Magic Bullet? Which works?

I want a small blender I can take with me to use at work to make smoothies. However it has to be able to crush ice. Do any of the small ones work for this? I've heard so many mixed reviews.

    Nutri bullet will do the trick... Magic bullet is good but won't do the trick with ice, nuts and seeds like the nutria bullet will.

    I use the Magic Bullet. I recently had to replace mine after may years. You can get a Magic Bullet now that comes with an ice crushing blade that is a little different from the regular blade.

    I have a Magic Bullet and it does great with making smoothies with frozen fruit. (Just remember to add liquid!) If you are wanting to crush ice or nuts, it is so-so.

    I have a Magic Bullet that I used to make baby food for my kids. It worked fine, although I agree with the other respondents that it probably wouldn't do so well with ice or nuts. I also found it really annoying to clean.

    I use my Magic Bullet for crushing ice sometimes, but I prefer frozen fruit in lieu of ice.

    My Magic Bullet crushes ice pretty well. There's usually half a solid cube left out of five and I just fish it out. I'll have to look into the new ice crushing blade.

    I believe the Nutribullet has more power but I have had a Magic Bullet for years now - it gets the job done. At times there are little bits (seeds, tougher frozen fruit bits) left in my smoothie but it's all going to the same place so I don't mind too much. For a third of the price, I am willing to eat little "bits'.

    I like my mini ninja blender. I have ground dried beans into flour with it, but not tried ice.mi use it for single serving protein smoothies the most.

    I have a Magic Bullet and I LOVE it. It works great. I also seen a commercial about a Ninja Blender and it has blades down the entire interior shaft. But this is a personal choice and at the end of the day, you should choose what you feel would best suit your needs.

    Edited to add; I have had my Magic Bullet for about 7 yrs. and it still works fabulous.

    had the magic bullet and it was ok. it would leave chunks of ice, but nothing too bad.

    now I have the nutribullet and it is fantastic. it completely destroys anything you put in there.

    Get the Nutribullet. You won't be sorry. It is the best. If I had my own office I would buy another one to take to work.
