Problems with magic bullet blender?!
Problems with magic bullet blender?
We used the magic bullet blender for a few months making smoothies etc. We were careful to follow instructions on usage and cleaning up. Despite this the blades became seized up and wore out the plastic tags underneath which rendered the blending cup useless. The underside of the blade seemed to have rusted after wash up in the dishwasher - the use of which is in the instructions. Anyone else had this problem?
Answers:
I have had similiar issues. Depending on where you purchased your product, you may be able to have it replaced or your money refunded. Te main use for my magic bullet was to make smoothies and dips. The blades on mine became warped and eventually I couldn't use it for anything. I went back to Bed, Bath, and Beyond (where my product was purchased) and received an exchange for a new one without a receipt. I do hope that it lasts longer than my original bullet which was just under 8 months. It is a handy product, when working properly.
How about you contact them @ 866-446-6352 (customer service is available Monday through Friday from 9am to 8pm, from 9am to 4pm on Saturdays and from 10am to 4pm on Sundays, Eastern Time)
Happy blending!

I have had my magic bullets for quite some time now, about 2 years. I have not had any issues with rusting, even when leaving them in water against the manual's advice... The issues I have had are food getting right against the corners of the bast containing the blades, and the blender annihalating everything I put in it. I only use it when I want my food to look like space dust.
I would suggest contacting the retailer for a refund or replacement. Or it might just be worth it to get a good food processor with smoothie attachements.
OH MY goodness. I am sooo irritated with the blade as well. This happened to us too. I believe that in the seconds that you take pressure off the cup when finished blending, the bottom motor chews away at the bottom of the blade. Ours is totally useless and I simply cannot find a way to get a new blade. I just saw some really successful business owner selling them left and right on ebay, but I was hoping to find it some other way.
