2. Emson Magic Bullet Express

It chops. It blends. It whips, crushes, and grinds. The Original Magic Bullet Express has been captivating infomercial viewers for years and is now available from many big-box retailers for around $65 for the starter kit. The commercials for the Magic Bullet feature enthusiastic demonstrations of snacks, drinks, and entire meals, created with time-saving tips, fresh ingredients, and an amazed audience who can’t believe that it works “like magic.” We put this “master of all kitchen tools” to the test to see if it delivered on its promise to create the fastest and tastiest meals in 10 seconds or less.

What you Get:

The Magic Bullet Express from Emson comes with everything you need to get started: the Magic Bullet High-Torque Power Base, a tall cup, a short cup, four "party mugs" with color-coded rings, a stainless-steel flat blade, one stainless-steel cross blade, two stay-fresh resealable lids, and two shaker/steamer tops. There is also a paperback 90+ page recipe/instruction guide for tips on using the product and sample meals.

Getting Started/ Operation:

Set up for this product was easy. We rinsed out the components (excluding the base, which should not be exposed to water), gathered our ingredients, and plugged in the base. Operation of the Magic Bullet was as described in the included instructional guide, which did an excellent job of walking the user through directives, recipes, and maintenance. Depending on the recipe, you add ingredients to the short or tall cup, screw on the appropriate blade, and turn the cup upside down into the base. By pressing the cup and blade into the base, it turns on the blender. You can continue to hold down the cup for constant blending or press down in a pulsing manner to really move the contents around. After the recipe is finished, the components (excluding the base) can again be rinsed in mild soapy water and are also top-rack dishwasher safe.

My girlfriend swears by our magic bullet but I dislike it in favor of a traditional blender. The blender looks more fashionable as well.

Anyone else notice the huge size of the headset on the girl on the first page?

Maybe it's for pwning noobs in Counter Strike when the boss isn't looking.

Seems to me I did some research into those electro-stimulation belts; they are just a gimmick and don't work. Yes, you feel the shocks, but it just isn't enough or the right type (not deep enough?) to make a difference.

The belts are pretty much crap, Ive tried a couple of them.....

The stuff that really works is probably too expensive for your average person. I had one used on me during Physical Therapy for my back, Turn it up enough and it looked like i was humping the table from the strong muscle contractions. It was great on slightly lower settings.

Hmmm, an auto-humper belt, "when the little blue pill isn't enough (tm)"

No matter how politically correct you are, that still sounds funny!. Great article I guess.

My mother was silly enough to buy a Magic Bullet (actually a couple)... guess what, they all broke or burned out quite fast, and had a dissapointing amount of power.
what did I do? Go to the local Zellers and pickup some badass blender for $60... this thing is a beast, and it doesn't mind turning the hardest things I can throw at it into mush.

MagicBullet: Waste. Buy a real blender.

SlenderTone Flex Go!: Walk to McDonalds instead of taking your car, fatass. They're called fruits, a healthy variation to junkfood.
I enjoy my high fat diet by being physically active... wow, what a surprise.
