QVC.com has a blender similar to the magic bullet but for only $30ish. I've been debating buying it but haven't found I really NEED it yet. It is a LITTLE more powerful at 250 watts but not a ton.

Black & Decker Ergo Chopper

Am attaching a link to Amazon.com for chopper I love. I have bought a number of them as gifts and people seem to agree with me. The ONLY place I've been able to find it is at Amazon. Reasonably priced, works great and best of all---easy easy clean up!

I just saw one at wal mart. I mini blender, that you drink out of the same glass it's blended in. Like the magic bullet but only one glass and not the 50 extra pieces. It was 14.80...

I bought the mini Cuisinart food processor and it is a pain to assemble. It's only 3 interlocking parts (plus the blade) that I always have to wrestle into submission. It was $30 at Big Lots. I then bought a Better Chef blender from Overstock.com that was advertised as great at crushing ice, but it only does a fair job.

faithmd,
I just bought that Oster attachment mini-blender thing. It cost me $13. Have you used it yet? I've had the Oster for a while, was looking for something like the MajicBullet, and saw the Oster thing. Do you like it?

I have a magic bullet too and it just collects dust. I can't keep the plastic gasket rings in place, so it always leaks when I use it.

Magic Bullet

I really like my Magic Bullet. It is so easy to use and easy to clean. Works great for me. I use it every day. I got it at Linen N Things and used one of their discount coupons.
