Kitchen Blenders

I have been using the bullet for 3 weeks now and here is my feedback.

The machine is a great thing and I would definitely buy another if I need to. The recipe book has some simple tryouts and so far all have been deliciously better then expected. I only wish the attachments were made of better quality components. Just because I have one PRO and 5 CONS does not mean the tool is not worth the money and you should not buy it. Like I said, it can do a lot of great things.

Pros: small, very powerful and does what the promos says. I am happy with the thing.

Cons 1) The glasses, cups, and attachments are all made out of the type of plastic that scratches very easily when cleaning with a mild scrubber sponge.

Cons 2) The bottom of the blade attachment uses a rubber gear to engage with the motors spin mechanism. To run the blender the user pushes down on the cup which comes into contact with the gear on the motor. So when the user pushes down too lightly the base motor grinds and burns off the rubber on the underside of the blade. There will be smoke and rubber smell in the air with rubber shavings around. So when you use the bullet make sure you push down with authority so you don’t grind away the engaging rubber on the underside of the blade.

Cons 3) I wish the glasses and attachments were stackable to reduce/space needed to store away all the components.

Cons 4) The inside of the glasses/cups are ribbed/reinforced with a lines of plastic from bottom to top making it hard to just insert a sponge and wash out. Probably the dumbest thing about the bullet.

Cons 5) When ice gets ground in a smoothie there are always good chunks of ice that don’t get ground good enough and get left behind.

We purchased this blender at a local home improvement store, thinking the well-respected name, 600 watt motor, and glass pitcher would equal one heavy-duty machine. It looks great! But, it stopped working mid-way through the second batch of frozen drinks! Didn’t have it turned “ON,” I was using the pulsing feature. So, called the Customer Service number, and they said I could send it to them for repair or replacement in two weeks. The reatiler was 10 minutes away, so returning it there was no big deal.

The second time around, the blender again stopped working during the second use. I made the children some banana milkshakes, rinsed the pitcher out, to make some strawberry frozen drinks for us. The darned thing stopped working again! Called Customer Service about it and they gave me the same story. So, back to the home-store . . .

Take three . . . new machine . . . made one batch of our favourite frozen drinks again. Poured two glasses and left the rest sitting in the pitcher for seconds. When I came back for seconds, I wanted to tap the pulse feature to re-blend the drinks . . . but, the thing wouldn’t work!! Back on the phone to Customer Service. They suggested I check their website and select another of their “fine blender line.” YEAH RIGHT!!! They also said that “maybe you got a ‘bad batch’.” A “bad batch” of blenders?

Several things can be learned here: I enjoy frozen strawberry drinks too much, my local home improvement store has great customer service, and THIS BLENDER IS A PIECE OF JUNK!!!!

I purchased this because I got tired having to clean the big blender every time I wanted to make a quick meal replacement shake or smoothie. Between my girlfriend and myself someone would just leave the big blender in the sink for someone else to wash, (normally myself) The bullett comes with six or more glasses, use one and toss in the dishwasher. You have plenty more in the cabinet for the next person to use. works well with the ice I add, it’s small, easy to put away and worth every cent!
