Does anyone know if you can buy the true Magic Bullet at Wal-Mart or is it strictly mail order? And for those who have it, how do you like it?

Thank you!:smile:

    I know you can get it at Kohl's, so it's not strictly mail order. I do like mine.

    I LOVE IT!

    I don't know about walmart because one doesn't exist around here, but I got mine at a Macy's a bit cheaper than through the website. Or wait, did you mean the walmart website...

    Either way, I use this thing a couple of times a day making smoothies, chopping nuts to go as toppings, making my own spreads and dips. I love it because I know exactly how much of everything I use and it's easy to keep track, and it's SUPER fast. Like, 1-2-3, literally. Clean up's a breeze too.

    I sound like I'm selling this thing to you. I'll stop. Bottom line, I think it's totally worth it! =)

    I have seen the Magic Bullet at Target.

    I was going to purchase it myself, but read a lot of negative reviews of it. So, I decided not to spend $50 on it when people were saying that it doesn't blend all that great.

    LOL... I got the Magic Bullet a few years ago for Christmas. I tried it out just one time to chop some onions like they show in the infomercial and it turned them into onion juice! AND the motor overheated and killed the machine. I threw it out and haven't looked back. My advice is to buy a mini food chopper for $5, or find a cheap blender to mix drinks and smoothies.

    That's what a lot of people were saying about it on Amazon.com reviews. Really disappointed in it. Especually since it was $50. I had heard about them and was looking into getting one until I read a lot of the reviews on them.

    I will send out a recommendation though if you're interested in a blender for Smoothies and protein shakes. I use the Chris Freytag personal blender which I can take with me anywhere and it has been great for me. Whether it's ice or frozen fruit, it blends it up pretty good.

    You can find it here and do some more research on it if you wish.

    That's actually a newer model than the one I have. I got mine back in 2008, and it's still going strong.

    You can get the magic bullet pretty much anywhere as the others have mentioned (Walmart, Kohls, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target) - I've been through a few of them because use it daily! It's also convenient to travel with so if on the road can still have my shakeology for breakfast. I really like it for that reason in that it is really small and easy to transport. I saw some people commenting about the motor burning out and it's just like any other blender in that you need to turn it of and let it pulse if using lots of frozen items in it so that the motor doesn't burn out. The reason I've been through a couple of them is from using it every day (and a few times a day at that!)

    I can't have been the only person to think of an Ann Summers product and wonder what that had to do with weight loss when they saw the thread title!

    Don't bother with the mailorder...will probably cost you more. Try WalMart, London Drugs, etc.

    I love my Magic Bullet. The only trouble is, it comes with these rubber gromets that fit inside the blade cup and they wear out. You can get replacements on eBay. I found it works just as well without them though...

    I used to have one and it was nice, but a more traditional blender works better if you're looking to make smoothies, etc.
